That's something I will start working on more myself is video, definitely if not the best personal communication tool there is...

Your post sort of disagrees with some of the latest products for videos such as the gorgeous flash intros, etc. that they claim make people watch your video more readily. I tend to agree with you - I don't need the fanfare to tell me in as short a video as possible whatever it was I clicked on it to learn in the first place. Time is a premium item. To Andrew: Robert has the answer right here on the site about the chipmunking: http://www.robertplank.com/remove-chipmunks-from-camtasia-videos/ It's super easy to do, too.

You have very valid points to the 2 minute point. You only need to see all the videos on You tube. Hamant Hi Robert

Many people have this problem. You have very valid points to the 2 minute point.

You only need to see all the videos on You tube.

For me this post is quite timely as I have been just done my first two 'talking to the camera videos'. It is not the easiest thing in the world to do. I could make a really comic video from the outtakes!! I recommend to anybody who wishes to talk to video, that joining their local Toastmasters can help them a lot. I would add that even with my Toastmasters experience in Public Speaking, and evaluating speeches, that each time I watch my first two 'talking to the camera videos' I learn more. Best, George Hi Robert,

Given my accent I'm prepared to live with this, but it would be good to find the fix Thanks Andrew Hi Robert

Has someone produced a product on how to be a great speaker on video? Might be a great idea. It is a different ballgame making live videos as opposed to screen capture videos. One 'expert' who is an acting coach that I saw interviewed online said it was good to use hand gestures while speaking and to always have your hands at least waist high so they will be seen on video. Robert doesn't agree obviously. Rick Thought provoking video, Robert. Has someone produced a product on how to be a great speaker on video? Might be a great idea.

Not review one's own work - any work - can only get you into trouble. I speak from experience. Learning from one's own mistakes can vastly improve on-screen presence almost immediately. Once, when editing a three-way interview so we could post the audio, I edited out the "umms," "uhs," "ahhs," etc. and created an outtakes audio clip. It was three minutes long! The original interview was less than an hour. We all learned from that! Well said, Robert.
