When preparing to produce a video for your business, make sure to loosen up before getting in front of the camera. The process of sharing verbal information through video is a special one to connect with prospective clients and colleagues. Choose to put your best self forward when pressing record and making your statement. Video is an excellent way to create a positive first impression. Let’s go deep into what it means to put yourself on camera in a joyful way to present information.
Before filming the video, know your topic of choice and details thoroughly. It is best to have an introduction to the discussion before heading into details. When you record for YouTube or a social media network, be interactive and ask viewers to like, comment, share and subscribe. Professing a call-to-action will communicate your wants to the audience. Teach them how to support you and follow along with the knowledge. Tell them to rewatch the video and take notes to remember key points. Keep details simple so the audience can learn this new subject matter. When you present on camera you position yourself as an industry leader, this is called branding. A brand identity helps develop credibility and expand your reputation as an innovator for valuable information.
Loosen up before stepping in front of the camera. When recording, convey your personality by taking a few deep breaths to relax and have fun. Hydrate with water to clear your throat so you can speak with confidence. Have a glass of water close by when filming several videos. When speaking for 10-20 minutes straight, you will feel thirsty. Make your environment is comfortable by getting in a position that is familiar. Choose to sit down or stand up to help yourself have a great experience.
Remember that practice will only help you get better. Experiment with office and outdoor scenes to see which locations best suit you. Select one day per week as video time to film in advance. When publishing to YouTube and other social media outlets, provide a call-to-action to support your message. Video is a great way to boost your confidence in conveying information to match your personality. Time to get up from your office chair and press record to redefine your reputation.
