Step 1
Prop your phone up at eye level approximately 3 feet from you, or just so you can be seen clearly. You can use something as simple as a window sill for this. To get the best visibility, try facing a natural light source.
Make sure there are no distractions in the background like music, tv noise, people walking by, etc.
Step 2
Think of what you're going to say before recording. The goal here is to have an idea of what you'd like to say so you can speak freely and naturally without some long script that you have to memorize.Â
Feel free to give it a few practice takes if you find that it helps, but the key here is to just be yourself!
