General tips
- Plan what you want to say, so that you cover your main points.
- Do a practice aloud, before recording, to check the timing and make sure the information is clear.
- Look into the camera to make eye contact and keep learners engaged.
- Try headphones with a built-in microphone, if you want to cut down background noise.
- If you need a few short notes to remind you of content, make sure that they positioned well (so that you are still looking into the camera eg. not off to the side).
