9. How do I make a good video?
Design differently. Don’t treat a video presentation the same as live presentation.
Keep it short (6 minutes)
Make audio clean, clear, and consistent
Keep the visual moving.
Be personable.

23. Additional Points to consider
Where are your windows?
Where are your air vents?
Where do your loud neighbors walk/talk/argue/stomp/mow/vacuum?
Where is the door?
Where are the hard/reflective surfaces?

24. My audio sounds like I am presenting in the bathroom! Why is that?
Mic positioning, too many reflective surfaces in the room.

25. Too Far = Static, more room noise, bathroom sound
#PRESUM18 | @heatherackmann | heatherackmann.com

26. Too close = plosives, heavy breathing, lip smacking, bass boost
