Reduce noise 📣 Make sure you're in a space with little background noise or echo. Sitting in a closet or cupboard sometimes helps 😅
Reduce distraction 💃 Create an environment that focuses on you: sit yourself in a space with a "clean" background behind you. Just make sure it isn't distracting.
Light your face 🙍🏽♀️🔦☀️ Make sure we can see your face well. Light your face; not your back – always face windows & lights.
Look at us 👀 Look in the camera, so it feels like you're looking at us!
Use a good mic 🎙 Use a good microphone, that is preferably not your laptop's microphone.
option A, for pre-recorded videos: Connect your phone as a mic (you can connect your video too!), and keep it close to you; as if you're talking to someone on videochat. Try out different positions to avoid "pops" in your voice.
option B, for live videos: use the microphone of your earbuds or headphones. Try all of them! It'll work better than your laptop's mic, as it is closer to your mouth.
Position yourself like a pro 🏆(for pitches and vlogging) Use the golden ratio to position yourself in front of the camera Make sure you look "in the screen", into empty space next to you, not outside of the video.
No video editing software? No problem! (for pitches and vlogging) Go for it. 1 take. Practice. Go for not too perfect 😏
Energy! ⚡️for everyone **_Breathe in.. stretch.. take up space... smile. Bring your _best energy.
