Air time

Fellow speaker,

Here are some tips for when you are giving a video interview:
  • Focus on the interviewer, not the camera
  • Use pancake makeup to eliminate glare from lights
  • Answer questions you are asked but then work your way back ("bridge) to your main points
  • Repeat your main points at the end of the interview
  • Practice with a home video camera before doing the interview and get your friends' feedback on how you did
Videographally,

Tim
