HOW TO LOOK GREAT DURING VIDEO CALLS USING SETTING, LIGHT, AND SOUND TO LOOK LIKE A PRO
While the pandemic may have forced us to do more and more of our business and personal lives online, there’s a good chance it will become the new normal for a lot of businesses long after COVID-19 has passed us by. That’s why we had one of our former clients, storyteller and award-winning documentary filmmaker Jerry G. Santos, give us his advice on how to perform meetings via video call and look good doing it. If you didn’t catch that seminar, don’t worry. Here are a few of Jerry’s tips — and you can catch the replay at DonahoeKearney.com/video/jerry-g-santos.cfm SETTING Your set should be both distraction-free and pleasing to the eye. Find a place that is both clean and decluttered but also not just a plain wall or bookshelf. Try to create a sense of depth with your background, and make sure it’s darker than you are so it stands in contrast to you. You want your audience to focus on you, not on your background. SOUND One of the best things you can do to improve your sound quality is to buy what’s called a lavalier microphone. Those are the microphones
newscasters attach to their lapels when they’re live on air, which carry their voices crisply and clearly to their audiences. You should also do away with your headset unless it’s absolutely necessary to hear or to be heard, since they can be distracting. LIGHT To catch the most flattering angle of yourself, shoot the camera down at your face, not up. That might mean putting your camera up on a box. Then, make sure the lights don’t create any unflattering shadows. Lighting yourself well could be as simple as using an inexpensive LED drop light, but however you light yourself, make sure to use warm tones at night and cooler ones during the day. Don’t ever have your screen face a window — then you risk having the sun drown you out. Don’t forget to catch the whole webinar with more great tips at DonahoeKearney.com/video/jerry-g-santos.cfm . See you looking good on the other screen!
