How to record an Intro video?

An intro video is one of the most influential tools you have at your disposal. It helps you introduce yourself to potential students or their parents and allows you to showcase your talent, skills and expertise to them. An intro video can play a key role in helping students or parents make their decision on taking classes with you. 

Tips on recording a good intro video:

• Record in a room that has plenty of light, stand facing the light.
• Put your phone on silent mode before recording so that incoming notifications are not heard in the video.
• Ensure that your surroundings are noise-free before starting the recording.
• Practice what you are going to say before making the video so that you don't stop too often.
• Speak loudly and with confidence.
• Be well-groomed and well dressed for the video.
