Camera, Sound & Lighting Tips

You can use a webcam, cell phone, or video camera.
Record in a quiet space. Turn off noisy devices like TVs, radios, air conditioners and fans.
Project your voice so we can hear you!
Avoid sitting with a window or bright light behind you.
Make sure there’s light on your face. Turn on a light, or increase the brightness of your computer screen if you’re using a webcam.
Stabilize the camera. Place your camera on a steady platform instead of holding it or resting it on your lap.
If you’re using a cell phone, orient it horizontally and not vertically.
Watch your video before submitting to make sure it looks and sounds clear.
