1. Choose the Right Environment

  • Select a quiet space to minimize background noise.

  • Ensure good lighting—natural light or a well-lit room works best.

  • Avoid distracting backgrounds; opt for a clean, professional setting.

2. Use a High-Quality Camera and Microphone

  • A smartphone or laptop camera works well, but an external webcam can improve quality.

  • Use a microphone or headset to enhance audio clarity and reduce background noise.

3. Position Your Camera Correctly

  • Keep the camera at eye level for a natural, engaging angle.

  • Maintain an appropriate distance—your head and shoulders should be visible in the frame.

  • Use a stable surface or tripod to prevent shaky footage.

4. Maintain Good Posture and Eye Contact

  • Sit or stand with good posture to appear confident.

  • Look directly into the camera to create a personal connection with viewers.

  • Avoid excessive movement to keep the video focused and professional.

5. Speak Clearly and at a Moderate Pace

  • Enunciate your words and maintain a steady pace.

  • Take brief pauses to emphasize key points.

  • Avoid filler words like "um" and "uh" for a more polished delivery.

6. Keep Your Message Concise and Focused

  • Stick to the key points outlined in your video prompt.

  • Aim for a clear and structured response.

  • Avoid rambling to keep your audience engaged.

7. Test Your Setup Before Recording

  • Do a quick test recording to check video and audio quality.

  • Adjust lighting, sound, and framing if necessary.

  • Review your test clip and make improvements as needed.

8. Use Cliquify’s Built-In Tools

  • Take advantage of Cliquify’s editing features to enhance your video.

  • Trim unnecessary parts for a more refined final product.

  • Add captions if needed for accessibility and engagement.
