Mary Ellen – Thank you so much for creating this video. My clients are truly anxious about appearing on video, and I’ve already heard from them that your video helped them feel more comfortable.
Great tips – this video is a classic!
Thanks Maria. I appreciate the opportunity to help your clients and others feel more comfortable on camera!
Thanks Kristina. Please pass it along to those who need it!
Great points Mary Ellen……keep up the super content….
Thanks for your support and friendship Gregg!
What a wonderful video. Great tips for what is always an anxious time. I see your “don’ts” on TV all the time and it looks so unprofessional. They need this video before they go back in front of the camera. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Kristina. You are right. We see a lot of “don’ts” out there!
These are great, Mel. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Sue. Glad to be of help!
Excellent. Good information.
Good tips, every one!
Thanks Sue!
What great–and simple–tips, Mary Ellen. Your tip about being animated on camera is so true–not only on video, but in still shots as well–really make your facial expressions alive. (But as I learned the hard way, this doesn’t mean more hand gestures. It is just plain distracting to see hands waving all the time)
Thanks Linda. People don’t realize how the camera magnifies!
Thanks Mel! As I contemplate a video series myself, this was timely and very helpful. Jeff
I’ll look forward to seeing your video series Jeff.
Awesome tips to help during one of the most stressful moments for people – amazing how we freeze up as soon as the red button goes on!
Ha! Thanks Heidi.
Great tips and a great reminder of the power of using videos to boost your online presence.
Thanks Kristina!
Great tips! I love your video presence.
Thanks for the great tips. I always appreciate your sound advice.
Bravo Mary Ellen! Your concise, easy-to-follow advice is perfect. While those of us in PR may think we already know these tips, it is a great reminder that preparation is vital, everything from clothing, hair, stance, mannerisms, to tone of voice and thoughts. Having these visuals will help prep and reassure their confidence.
Thanks Mary Beth! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tips and I am glad we’ll get to meet in person soon.
