Your credibility is shot. Here's what you need to know about capturing great audio and it doesn't have to be expensive. This lesson covers multiple options, prices, and the pros and cons of each.
Use A Good Camera - Not A Smartphone
Smartphone cameras are easy and available. So why bother with a dedicated camcorder or DSLR for your videos?

Style - Making the Strongest Connection
Non-verbal communication is a HUGE part of your on-camera persona. You need to understand how you come across based on things you may not normally consider when you're on camera. And when you understand the messages your body language and other non-verbal cues send, you've have a much better feel for how you come across to others.
