Review the following article for some do it yourself (DIY) video and audio tips

Overview

When creating video for your course, there are some best practices to keep in mind in order to produce higher quality content.

General Considerations

1. Prepare some general talking points for yourself, but don't stick to an exact script. You'll want to sound well-prepared and organized without being robotic and pre-scripted.
2. Test beforehand: Before recording, conduct a few test runs to make sure your setup looks OK and that you know how to start, stop and save your recordings.

Video

1. Check your angle of your webcam (reference the image above). Raise it to eye level. Books are great for this! 
2. Clean Backgrounds
   1. Ensure that your background is clear of any visual distractions (e.g., writing on a whiteboard).
   2. If you are using a virtual background (including a blurred background), Zoom will provide much better quality and consistency than EchoVideo.
3. Light Sources
   1. Face towards windows
   2. Have a lamp nearby to remove shade as necessary

Audio

1. Use a headset or an external microphone.
2. Pick a quiet spot to record with no distractions (listen for ambient noises).
