Great and funny video! I actually learned new things (never really thought about why my voice sounds different during recordings).

BTW, does the main part of the audio in this video really just come from the tiny Flip camera that is positioned in front of you?

Great tips! Hadn't heard about the speak-through-your-head technique before. Off to practice now...

fab.

I also wonder f the Flip camera actually is that good?

Anyway one of the best video/voice instructions out there.

This is a fantastic video of basics. If you don't mind, I'd love to link it to our vuDAT blog!

Thanks for the compliments guys. You really are too kind.

Wanted to answer a few hardware questions. I did indeed use only a flip camera, here's the model:

For me, this is an example of "using your head voice" and "don't be afraid of the camera". If you listen closely, there is a lot of echo in the first shot and the second shot in the booth isn't much better. The only thing I had going for me was very little background noise.

Let me know if you try any of these tricks. I've only suggested these tricks to a few people; so I would love to understand how others receive them and if they work for you.

Thanks so much for sharing these tips. Just last week I tried standing while recording a voice over for a video and had good results.

I'm looking forward to giving all your suggestions a try. (What is it about dairy, though, I wonder?)

For a future post, I'd be interested in hearing more about your podcast hardware/microphone. Right now we're just using a USB headphone for our podcast. I've been happy with it, but wonder if we should be trying something else...?

Really nice tips. Going to use them when I finally start recording voice by myself.

Excellent video! I cannot find any best practice on the size of the video in terms of mins or mb. I am looking for a recommendation where a streaming server is not required.

Thanks for the great tips! Can you share some tips about how you post produced this clip? What software was used? How did you speed up the sound and video to the chipmunk state? What was used for the cool spinning in subtitles?

I enjoyed that. But how do you avoid the echo in the production of the video. I noticed you were echoing all through, even when you were nice and close to the mic. Please send me your suggestions. Thanks .Anna.
