Write your script and practice once or twice, don’t over rehearse

Imagine you’re talking to a friend or a group of friends, relax

Wear something you feel comfortable in but dress for the occasion

Have a plain ideally white background behind you

Face strong daylight or use a light source facing you, behind your recording device

Sit a little bit back from the camera/device, like a meeting not a video call with a friend!

Use earphones or a clip on mic. Built in recording devices allow too much noise interference

Be yourself, exude your personality. Video bio provides an opportunity to build an emotional connection with your viewers. You do that by letting people get to know the real you

Remember this is not a test and nobody knows what you were planning to say

SMILE!
