Tips & Tricks
There’s basically three key aspects to giving a great video presentation:
- The Technicalities
- What you say
- How you say it
The Technicalities
- Eliminate ambient noise: microphones are sound sensitive, and can pick up even tiny noise, therefore it's good to check t he surroundings, close windows, mute your phone, alerts on your computer, etc.
- Lighting: it is advised to avoid bright (natural) light behind you, or avoid sitting underneath a very bright light that will make your head shine
- Background: white walls are possible ofcourse, however don't be afraid of showing your natural environment like plants, paintings; as long as it's not too disturbing
- Camera height: it is best to have an angle where your entire face is shown from the same level, instead of having the camera too low.
What you say
How you say itFor some people speaking comes naturally, for others it's very helpful to practice the presentation before recording it.
Speak clearly and try not to speak too fast or too slow. It is not a problem if you make a mistake or forget a word, just rephrase what you wanted to say and continue with your presentation.
