Show notes

http://prochurchtools.com/014 - We've produced more than 1000 video announcements in the last year. It's not easy being a presenter for video announcements. And it's very different than being a presenter live and on stage. Here I share 10 tips that you can use to be a great video announcements presenter. I'll also tell you what camera we use to shoot every one of our video announcements.

10 Video Presenter Tips

You're on camera, not doing this live, so tone it down
Facial expressions are more important than hand gestures
Don't read announcements as if they are written
Invest your own, real personality in your presentation
Avoid novelty or kitschy humor, costumes or characters
Do not exceed 3 minutes
Use a signature tag line
Have a signature fashion style
Watch yourself on video and judge your performance
Be patient with yourself; excellence takes time
