SETTING UP FOR RECORDING
Get your equipment ready. Your computer may have a webcam included in it, and that’s fine, but sometimes it’s better to use your still camera‘s video record mode (pretty much all modern digital cameras have this option; the fact that it isn’t HD or whatever doesn’t matter so much), since you will be much more flexible in where you can record it. Some mobile phones also do this, but the quality may be quite bad and almost unwatchable. And of course if you have an actual video camera that can help too, although it’s not really necessary to have all its features in this case. Before recording, check your video settings to make sure they are ideal for uploading and saved in a recognisable file format.
Choose a fun and interesting location. Using your webcam in the same place you always use your computer means we will always see just you face-on and the boring wall in your room behind you. This is only slightly better than simply creating audio and labelling it as a podcast. Take your camera (or webcam with laptop) outside of your house, and change scenery while recording if possible. Even having some nature in the background can be a huge improvement. Or walk through somewhere interesting while talking and holding your camera. They’re small and portable for a reason :)
Alternatively, if you must be in one location, think of another way to make it more fun. For example, in the only non-English sit-down soliloquy video I’ve made, I introduced fun props to make the video way more entertaining. A video that’s fun to watch will get shared more and have more engagement and feedback because of that. (My language hacking guide video has received 50,000 views and 150 comments on Youtube in just over a year, as well as lots of tweets, @s and Facebook shares about it). For more random ideas to make a video that little bit crazier, see the photo I’ve included with this post :) Making it more interesting isn’t so necessary, but it will make it more likely that people will stick through your whole video.
When you’re ready (see below), press record! Press stop when you’re done and you’ll have a file ready to upload (also explained below). In most cases you don’t need to edit the file at all.
