The Art of Authentic Video Content: How to Connect with Your Audience

Authenticity is key to great video content! 🔑

Here is how to make sure yours stands out:

• Treating your audience like a friend.

• Speak with a smile.

• Be considerate to your audience

• Keep it short and sweet

When recording videos, ensure they are substantial enough to effectively communicate your message, but avoid overstretching them to the point of losing viewer engagement. 

To go into more complex elements of a subject, consider creating a series of more focused videos, giving your audience the option to explore further. Make sure to promote the additional content, encouraging viewers to dive deeper if they are interested.

Visualize speaking to a dear friend or loved one during your recordings. To assist with this, try placing a photo of a close one next to the camera lens as a reminder of this conversational tone.

Never underestimate the power of a genuine smile. It is easy to overlook this detail in the midst of video production, but a simple sticky note reminder, adorned with a smiley face, can serve as a necessary prompt. A smile not only helps foster a connection with your audience but also enhances audio content. Even when recording podcasts, your smile can translate into your voice, creating a warm and inviting tone.

Consider your audience’s level of understanding. Assume you are explaining your content to someone entirely new to the subject. This perspective will help you maintain clarity in your communication.

In this era of rapid-fire content, resist the urge to speak too quickly or cram in too much information. High-speed delivery can potentially trigger viewer anxiety. Instead, focus on presenting your message concisely and without unnecessary filler. During editing, be relentless in cutting out any sentence that doesn’t contribute to the understanding of the content. Keep it short and sweet. 

Please remember, crafting impactful video content is an art form that succeeds in authenticity, clarity, and engagement – things you can produce by treating your audience like a friend, wearing your smile like a badge, and delivering your message with patience and precision.
