I've watched numerous YouTube tutorials that have been helpful even though they aren't the best videos but the audio quality is amazing.” “I've learned through the years that people are more likely to stick around longer and actually pay attention to your content if the audio is good. “I’m a stickler with audio,” said Kajabi Live Video Production Lead Irene Pavico-Tsukayama. Low audio quality has a bigger impact on how immersed your viewers are than video quality or lighting. Having high-quality sound in your course videos can be equally important-if not more important-than high-quality video. You can also fasten a lampshade in place that may soften the direct light. A great way to assist in this dampening of light (or “diffusion”) is adding a white bedsheet, shower curtain, or pillowcase in front of the light. Position your desk lamp or other home light source to the side, out of frame and far enough away so that the light isn't so harsh onto your face. If you want to supplement your shot with additional light, or if you don’t have an available window, use a desk lamp with a daylight bulb! Avoid using tungsten bulbs, as their orange glow will cast a harsh orange tint across your face and clothing, again rendering unnatural skin tones. Turn off non-daylight light bulbs so the colors don’t cast a harsh tone across your skin.Directly facing the window or having it behind you will result in light that is either too harsh or have that nasty silhouette effect!

Window light may change throughout your video if you live in a particularly cloudy area. There are some downsides, like having less control over the light coming in as well as where windows are located in your home. Lighting your shot with window light is free, readily accessible, and produces accurate colors, including accurate skin tones. (And it has the additional benefit of drawing attention away from any clutter that may have amassed during social distancing!) Use window light where you can Proper lighting draws attention to you, the speaker. “Use a shelf and prop it up, point the screen towards you, and easily see where your shot is.” Lighting “If you don't have a tripod, you just have to jerry-rig something,” Dave said. ![]() It’s familiar to you.”ĭon’t have a tripod specifically for smartphones?
