Most talking head videos get skipped in the first three seconds. Here is how to make one people watch to the end.
In this video I share my 9 rules for talking head content that actually holds attention: why voice confrontation is making you flat on camera, how to script without sounding scripted, the framing and lighting choices that build instant trust, and the editing rhythm that keeps viewers locked in. Rule seven alone can turn one recording session into a full week of content.
Riverside makes it super easy for beginner creators to record, edit and publish and that's why I have decided to do a lot in depth coverage of their software. Try Riverside for free here: https://mrc.fm/riverside or use coupon MRC to get 20% off any paid plan.
I cover variety of tools on my channel - Adobe Audition, Audacity, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and more. I look forward to bringing you more interesting creator focused content in the future - make sure to hit subscribe now!
