0:00 - Intro
A talking head videos like this one, where I talk to you directly, are really easy to make.
There are 2 parts to making better talking head videos.
First is learning to record. Second is learning to deliver the message the right way.

1:00 - Tip No#1: Use a basic Lighting and background setup
If you are recording at home or in an office, you can use your room lighting or natural light.

It is better if you use a plain colour background for your video. The attention of your audience will focus on you.

1:50 - Tip No #2: Framing a video shot
Although any framing is possible in talking headshots, the usual framing is either a medium close-up or medium shot (mid-shot).

You can stand on the centre of the video frame like how news anchors do. This will give a personal touch to your videos.

You can also apply the rule of thirds framing technique to your videos.

You can stand on the left or right vertical third line of your video frame and in the remaining space you can display text, images or logos that suit your content.

Both these methods are best for creating talking head videos.

3:15 - Tip No #3: Look at the camera while recording

How do you look at the camera while recording a video?
First, place a camera at a distance where your neck and shoulder can be seen.

You can use a tripod or a stool to keep the camera at a certain height.

If you are using a mobile camera then you should use a front camera to see yourself.

Showing your face, smiling and making direct eye contact with the viewer allows them to see whether you are sincere and potentially trustworthy.

4:25 - Tip No #4: Record Good Audio For Video
How to record good video for video?

Choose your shooting locations carefully to avoid problematic audio environments.

You should speak in a clear and a louder voice so that it is audible to the students. (:D Avoid the noise like the one you hear at 4:28)

Show enthusiasm and energy in speaking to the viewer, show pleasure in teaching.

So, these were the 4 tips to record your talking head video. Use these tips to record your video contents fast.
