Before Recording:
Prepare a script/detailed outline before you record.
Practice your recording (including any manipulation on the screen - moving from slide to slide or window to window)
Make certain you are in a space where you can record uninterrupted.
If you will be recording yourself, then test your camera and make certain you are in a well lit area.
While Recording
While Recording
Speak clearly and at a measured pace for voice recordings
Limit video length (15 minutes maximum) should you require a longer video, consider breaking into segments, i.e., part one and part two.
Perfection is great - but may be unrealistic (ensuring your message is clear and comprehensible is more important that avoiding every "um" and slight stutter)
