Great tips about how to be more likeable in your videos, thanks Pat! I like the three tips that you provided…smiling, eye contact, and gestures / leaning in. We should all watch this video before all of our recording sessions.
Pat, Thanks for the great tips on how to be likeable in your video shows. After all, you are the expert in this area! What an interesting technique to watch your own show without the audio. Smiling, eye contact, and hand gestures or body movement are all good ideas I will be trying to incorporate into my shows. Just for the record….I’m Italian so one of the things I try to control is my hand gestures but now maybe I wont be so self conscious if I talk with my hands!
Thanks for your comment Pat. It is OK to talk with your hands…show off your heritage!
Great tips in your show about how to be likeable, Pat. We tend to be more consumed with content, just like when we verbally communicate, but the research you sited confirms that non-verbals are most important when creating videos, too.
Pat, great tips on how to be likable in your videos. I will definitely keep these in mind when I’m working on videos. Thanks for all the great tips.
Great show Pat on how to be likeable in your videos! I loved the information on the study you talked about – you know I then went and viewed your video again with the sound off and I can really see how your tips make a big difference, especially when you were showing what you shouldn’t do!! Looking forward to your next show as always!!
Thanks, Pat, for great tips on how to be likable on our videos.They are all tips that are important in most kinds of communication yet we forget when we get too serious about getting our message across!
I loved your tips. They are simple but doing them well is the challenge. Now I need to practice!
Thank you,
Rhonda
