Hi there

I am Marinda Botha. Thank you for considering taking this course.

These days, the digital world seems to revolve around video content. Students prefer to see a video lecture, rather than study from books. Online education has never been in greater demand an it is becoming mandatory for trainers to possess on-camera performance skills.

So, are you ready to step into this world and share your knowledge with your student-base? Well, this would mean recording video lectures. Are you comfortable doing so? Feel you don’t need any guidelines or tips to improve the quality of those videos?

If you do feel the need for some guidance, you have come to the right place. This 16-part course can be taken by adult complete beginners to advanced students.

This course covers performance techniques and the technical how-to’s on creating video tutorials in general and specifically on producing professional talking head video lectures.

By the end of this course you will feel completely capable technically and confident in your ability to appear on camera.
