Social media apps like Instagram and TikTok have increased the general popularity of vlogging.
If you are still new at vlogging in public, you might feel a little awkward around everyone.
So let us take a look at a few tips that will help you if you are vlogging in public.
-
Be confident
New vloggers tend to be a little timid and quiet when vlogging in public. The reason may be that you are not very comfortable recording videos around people. Try to be more active while shooting because your passiveness will be observed by your viewers.
While it is easier said than done, you may soon develop a habit of recording yourself in public by practising.
-
Carry all your instruments
When you are going out for your videos, make sure you carry all your instruments like DSLR camera, mic, camera stand, SD card and so on and so forth.
Ensuring that all the instruments you need are available will allow you to smoothly record your vlog without any disruption. Try making a checklist beforehand and then cross-checking everything twice.
-
Choose a good location
Travel vlogs are only good when the location is absolutely mind blowing. So vloggers should always research and find an interesting place for vlogging.
During your research, you should study your audience. For instance, if most of your viewers are from Maharashtra, chances are that they have already seen the tourist attractions in the state. Therefore, you may drive up to another state to vlog about a tourist attraction there.
-
Be concise
In many vlogs, the vlogger can be seen talking for so long that the viewer may lose track or interest. So to keep your viewer engaged, show more of your surroundings and talk less.
Be concise and brief as to what you want to say, so prepare what you want to say prior to recording. Moreover, if you do want to share a trivia about a location, add it to the subtitle.
-
Elevator speech
An elevator speech is basically an introductory speech. Prepare a short and crisp elevator speech which is to the point.
You can start by briefly introducing your channel and yourself, talking about what the video is going to be about and so on.
Vlogging, while common, is not elementary. But by practising from time to time and following these tips, you can surely build a successful vlogging channel.
