Need honest feedback - does this video feel and sound like me?

Linda Howard All Messages By This Member #596 开云体育 Hi, ??? A networking group I'm in, neXco, offered a free video shoot, so I took them up on it. I had to write a script and then they shot it while I used the teleprompter. I had never done that before. ??? Here's the link. It's only about a minute long. ??? Please give me an honest opinion. Does it look/sound like me? Does it feel authentic? Really? Honestly? Is it something you would recommend that I use in my marketing? I ask you because I think you will give me an honest opinion.

Dorothy Firsching All Messages By This Member #597 You enthusiasm is great. I like that. One thing I would suggest, though, is varying your focus. That teleprompter had you staring at the exact same spot the whole time. It is more natural to glance away from time to time.? I'm also not sure that it is best for them to keep zooming in, slowly dropping you lower in the view to where the bottom of the screen is at your armpits, and then shifting back out to show you from the waist up.? Might have been better to cut away to show other relevant shots and come back to your spiel. But overall, yes, you can use it. It sounds like you and that you are genuine.?

Liz Wainger All Messages By This Member #598 I agree with Dorothy that the video is usable but it is a little stiff in part because you are reading off a teleprompter.? It does convey who you are.? Video is unnatural?especially if you haven't done a lot of it.? Each time you do this you will feel more comfortable. It's professionally done. Liz Wainger President, Wainger Group liz@...

Becky Roberts All Messages By This Member #601 I have very different feedback. As I have encountered other times, Vimeo is very unfriendly to low bandwidth.? I've tried several times at different times of the day to load the video, and I get "unable to load. Tap to reload." I guess it isn't really an issue since your target customers have decent internet.? Becky Roberts, from my not-so-smart phone?

Linda Howard All Messages By This Member #603 开云体育 Thanks everyone! Becky - so sorry you had a hard time - yes - my target audience has bandwidth - good point. Thanks to all of you for your feedback.? Here are my own thoughts: It doesn't feel as much like me as I want it to.? Not as real or authentic. Feels rushed - maybe it was teh speed of the teleprompter or maybe I was nervous or maybe they sped it up for the final video. In any event, it sounds more rushed and louder than I feel I am normally. It doesn't feel conversational - and while I know I followed their framework for what to say as I developed my script, I was really trying to make it sound like I wasn't reading it - but I didn't get there. I was doing something weird with my shoulder and have some strange shrugging movement that I don't like. I agree with all the other points that you all made. ??? I did like the color of the shirt I wore.? : ) ??? While I will let it stay on the neXco member directory, it is not something I would use in my own marketing. ??? However, it was an interesting experience and makes me want to create something similar - but different. I have a colleague who does video and could help me create something better. And now, I know what to expect and could practice it a little differently. Plus, she could add a different background.? So this has motivated me to actually hire someone to create a video for me.? So from that perspective, this was worthwhile and I'm very glad I did not pay for it. ??? I think the company that did this was good - from my experience since this is the only time I've ever done anything like this. So part if my reaction is probably just that I don't like seeing myself on camera, or promoting myself, or both. But I've done so much on Zoom cameras over the last several years that I wasn't as petrified as I might have been before - although I wouldn't even have DONE this a few years ago! Anyway - thanks for your feedback. This is all helpful! Linda Becky Roberts wrote on 11/4/22 1:57 PM: toggle quoted message Show quoted text I finally got it to load in pieces.?
