HOW TO NAIL YOUR NEXT VIDEO!
Heads up! I’m in the process of creating a PDF guide to help you master talking head videos—stay tuned for more tips!
But for now,...
Ever hit record and feel like a deer in headlights?
You’re not alone. Creating talking head videos that connect with your audience can be tricky, but with a few tips, you’ll be feeling more like a pro.
Why Talking Head Videos Matter:
Talking head videos aren’t just a face on the screen—they build personal connections.
A study by Wyzowl shows that 84% of people have been convinced to buy a product after watching a video. Think about how that can help your business!
Tips to Nail Your Next Talking Head Video:
1.Prep Like a Pro:
Know your key points before you hit record. Bullet points are better than memorizing a script—it helps you stay natural and feel more authentic.
2.Lighting is Everything:
Good lighting can instantly make your video look professional. It’s the most important thing for the visual! If you’re indoors, invest in a softbox or use natural light.
3.Sound Quality Matters:
Bad audio is even worse than a bad video. Use a clip-on lapel mic for clear sound, even on a budget.
4.Engage, Don’t Lecture:
Make eye contact with the camera and talk to your audience like they’re in the room with you. Encourage comments and questions for a more interactive feel.
