Talking Head Video Setup | 10 Tips for AMAZING TALKING HEAD VIDEOS 

Now you've nailed the setup, here's how to GET BETTER AT TALKING ON CAMERA! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hvrLd5KKm0s.html

This was like an entire 10 hour Udemy Course in a few minutes. "Just hit RECORD" is the best tip of all. Every time I decide I need to do a shoot, my brain comes up with reasons to NOT do so at this time. I do a countdown from five, grab the camera, mic, and tripod, and go.

I love that you're HONEST and actually tell people that they can't be shooting on junk and expect it to fly on YT. SO many creators say the gear doesn't matter while shooting with top of the line cameras. They know it matters. You don't need $15k worth of equipment, but that 7 year old iPhone probably ain't gonna cut it. Thanks for being REAL about it!

Vic, the power of personality is your greatest strength. I couldn't find any errors. by the way,

Fantastic advice, Thank you!

11:05 thank you! i've noticed this years and have been trying to tell people this. I wish YT would stop shitting on people who don't upload 2k and 4k video. They don't just give 4k video a higher bitrate ratio, they give 2k video a higher ratio as well.

Honestly, I've watched quite a few videos on this topic because I'm a little nervous to get started and I want everything to be perfect. I super appreciate that push and pep talk at the end. Much needed! Thank you for the well thought out and informative video!! I will be using all of these tips!

Thank you for those closing words Vic, really struck a chord Cheers from Montreal

On of the best videos on the subject, thanks

Voice clarity quality is top priority for me. All your points are valid and thank you for the very valuable tips.

Thank you for this video! This is very useful for me now. You pointed out on some things I haven't thought before.

as a 46 yr old chubby dude starting back into making youtube content I can not tell you how much you have inspired. I am blown away by the level of quality you get from your vids, I have the zv1 and the z7siii and honestly there have been times where i didnt even want to post the crap but seeing the quality and the look you get on your vids has inspired me to keep going until I have started to get to the point where I can upload my vids. Thank GOD for the 1/4 black mist and the med. skin soft on zv1 lol. Anyway just wanted to show some love, keep up the great work.

This basically summarized what I've learned in years making videos, and taught me more. Thanks!

Learned a lot in this video. I don't do alot of talking head videos. I guess I need to start now. Thank you

Why you don't have more subs? This is the most tips-rich video about how to make talking head video on the internet! Amazing work!

Great Tips Video. Top to Bottom. Visually engaging and quality advice content.

Just found your channel and am very impressed. Great job! We've been producing video content on social media for a few years and started RU-vid about 2 years ago and still learned A LOT from this video. Thank you!

Thank you, Mr. Barry

Good video! The points about talking "to" and not "at" the audience was especially helpful. Thanks man :)

Some great tips in here. Thanks for posting!

This was the best video I’ve watched on this topic

Спасибо🙏💕

Dripping with video shooting gold, I learnt a lot. Thank you Vic.

I am happy to see the quality of this video with a camera I just ordered! I was recording my videos with my iPhone 8...SMH Thanks for the tips!

Seriously amazing video. These tips are very relevant to me right now. Thanks!

NEW SUBSCRIBER, Hi Vic, I just watched your video for the first time and you gave alot of great pointers I needed to help me in starting my own channel this year. Cheers👍

Great video buddy. Great instructions and advice. I am just getting started with my Motorcycle related channel and told myself I wasn’t going to be one of those guys with crappy video, audio and not getting straight to the point and rambling about stuff that has nothing to do with why we are here. This video helped a lot. Thanks.

Great video!

thank you, great value and great personality

Love the video and your style, thanks for the quick tips and looking forward to watching more from you. You got my sub!

I especially liked the last point (watch your video). I always have mistakes in my lower thirds, and if I just upload, those mistakes become horribly embarrassing.

Another masterpiece. Your final line "If this is what you really want to do, fight hard for it, go and do it, and just hit record" As a newbie myself to talking head videos this is sound advice. Happy St Patricks day on the 17th. Peter.

Really needed this TLDR, you the man! Thank you!

This video deserves more likes and views!! Amazing tips

dang man some quality information happy i got suggested your video!

Great video! Thanks

Awesome video! Straight to the point and no fluff. You deserve more followers

Big Vic! cheers for the video mate. It helped a bunch

That was an amazing one. Thank you!

So much great advice, thanks!

Great tips, I need to really focus on talking to my audience and not to them.

*Vic, you are freaking brilliant!* I watched every second all the way to the end - learned so much! Thank you for the time and effort you put in to help newbs like me. I subscribed instantly on the basis of this video - hopefully you will add more videos on the same subject {Talking Head Vids} soon. Love your pace, love your style, love that accent ;-) Cheers from Australia

Didn’t see anyone mention it 3:45 Peter McKinnon cameo🤣 Good video👍🏻

I only came to check an old drone review .....now I want to create movies.your good vic

LOVED IT :-) Thank you for an amazing video.

The best video on the topic!

You knocked another one out of the park. You really do have the most informative videos.

Nicely done Vic 👍

Great tips, humour and personality. Thanks!

Awesome video! I tried this tonight with LED's in the background and they are all 'rolling' on my talking head video. Any ideas how to solve? You have LED's or lights in the background and it is crystal clear!

you remind me to Rick Beato,nice video, good content, new subscriber, and near-future content creator

Talking about levelling up? Something that a lot of people never pay attention to is sound design, and it makes a 10 X difference to your vids! Here's why -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KQC-icinbMg.html

ZV1, the best value in a camera available today. Period.

Excellent tutorial video ~ thank you! I'm in the process of looking for a camera, I will also be doing some outside videoing and I'm considering purchasing a go-pro, would appreciate your thoughts?

This is GOLD!!!!!

Great video, lots of stuff to work on and most of it reasonably straight forward to do

Everything was perfect. Great knowledge. Since you asked to spot the mistakes I’m saying one. Eyes should not have been under the shadow of your cap.

Very helpful tips. Thank you

Underrated Video. Great stuff

Thanks for the video

More great stuff Barry. Thanks so much

Super video Vic, thanks for the tips.

Wow you are amazingly on point and very helpful

Very helpful and encouraging. looking to do my first vids shortly and this is one of the best prep videos I've seen. Also nice to see a Cork man doin' the thang!

New subscriber... Excellent.

Great video Vic! Thanks for the tips!

This is an insanely info packed and useful video. 10/10

Thanks for this Vic! Great points! How about wide lens for taking head? I'm tempted to get the zv-1 as it does seem to do it all for a starter device. There's something about the quality that is below an a6k series though. Love the hlg profiled look. Check out the look Lee Zavitz can get!

Hi Vic - great video with really helpful comments and ideas. Thanks for making this. It’s very helpful to me to learn these techniques in a very accessible way. Cheers!!

Thanks Vic! You’re insights are always helpful! I’m guilty of so many of these errors!😂 So glad I watched this video. Great lessons!

Cant lie...its hard the learning curve is crazy not knowing anyone that does this stuff. Also, Mind open...depending on the subject, I talk to the camera picturing certain people.

Great video - great points!

Epic video!

Great Video! Really concise tips! Thank you! :)

Really useful tips. Thank you.

Hi Vic, so my question is - How can I use my teleprompter with sony ZV-1? Also Im interested in how to make the lens stop turning off

Hi Vic! Amaaaaazing video as always! Thanks so much for helping us newbies! 🥰 question tho -- im filming with my ZV-1 (which you made me buy!! 😂) using 1080p 60fps but everytime i try to film, like, trees while in a moving car, once I upload it on RU-vid, it pixelizes! How do you make this sharp on youtube??

Amazing video from a fellow Tube Ritual Member, brilliant stuff Vic 😎

Again Vic, you've hit the fix. Not only do you sound natural, your editing is superb. I'm learning oodles from your videos. I particularly like your 9-second mind-bore clip tip. I was always wondering how many and when to insert changes. Hey, quick question. I noticed you hac a second camera angle in this video. You had a quick side profile and leg-up viewing angle. How important are these inserts vs just doing b-roll + front shots? If using a second angle, will a main camera (mirroless Sony) and second smartphone work? Your thoughts? Okay, that was two questions. Oh, and the not winging it was a brillant tip as well. BOOM!

Sir can you also tell us, what lens are you using right now in this video ? and at around how much distance from camera ?

Great advice my man. Really trying with video, at 114 subscribers 🙏🏼

Amazing video 😮

This is fantastic video. Loved it.

Great tips Vic...you mentioned uploading in 4k even if not filming in 4K. So if you film in 1080p do you import the video into your video editing software as 4k then save it as 4K?

great video

Vic, this is very helpful for someone new to this game! I am looking to do recording of myself (college professor) for video lectures and just want it to be a bit more sophisticated (and keep the students interested!) for 3-7 minute videos to introduce the topic each week. Also, as I have a Zoom meeting a couple of times a semester, thought these skills could help there as well. I have a Sony A9 for my regular photography (like to shoot wildlife) and have been thinking about the new Sony A7IV, but worry that if I use those two cameras together I could have color science issues. I have been thinking about getting 2 Sony ZV-E10s so that things are the same (setup, color science, etc.) and this would be considerably cheaper ($2498 vs. $1400) which would give me money for other things (lighting, stands, mics, etc.).

Do you recommend an 85mm lens over others?!

Great video thanks. Regarding Auto Focus settings, I am having issues with a sort of breathing in and out during the recording, even though I am not moving. I have a Sony A7S iii, 24mm G Master lens, and I am about the same distance as you are. I have tried all Auto Focus modes, spot mode, wide etc .. and it does it on all of them. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? no worries if not .. but thought I would ask, as I have done all of the rest of your suggestions, so everything is great and ready to go, just this weird focus adjustment going on at times during the Video. thanks in advance and keep up the great content !

Great video again.👍🏻 Very useful tips, and I think I should pick some of those for my videos.🤔 I've just subscribed, but I've been following your ZV-1 videos. I think that will be my next gear update for my channel.

Great Great video! Always golden nuggets 😁👍

Great tips!!

Great tips Vic. I definitely need to take some of that on board. With regards to shooting in manual, this is something I want to do, but doing hiking videos, I'm a talking head then doing scenery shots or b-roll, it just isn't practical to be shooting manual, or am I wrong?

Great ideas and advice. Thanks once again Barry. 👏🙏

Great help here Mark. Shooting the corner angle and a change every 9 seconds resonated with me. I have a question please. Whilst working out a room and space, would using a green screen and creating my own back drop work in the interim? Thank you for your videos, Paul

This fkn guy... Again with an excellent video from start to finish. Thanks for the tips Vic!

GREAT VID! Keep it up 👍

hi vic? can i make talking head videos with an iphone 13? its easier for me to edit on an iphone!

👍

Also wanted to ask you what the channel consultant had to say about your channel? And I wanted to ask, what is your passion? :)
