Well I wish it was the first take! :-) Maybe the third or fourth. I think with anything it will get easier with time. I also chose to use Audio Acrobat because it's the least technical way to get the job done, easy for me to use. I hope it inspires you to get some video up on your site. I'm sure your clients will enjoy the interaction with you. Hi Peter, thanks for the comment. Well I wish it was the first take! :-) Maybe the third or fourth.

We have been playing around with doing some videos, but unfortunately 'one take' success yet! Nice video, you seem really comfortable in front of the camera – did you do this video in in take?

HT - Thanks so much, and yes my daughter is doing wonderful. Stress is a big thing and I still need massage therapy on my neck for this. It's funny how you react to stress, not a good thing. As for the video, I think I'll do more of them because I personally like to connect with people, I'm glad it came across as natural. I need to think more about the background though, it was pretty boring. :-) Tom – yeah true. :-) thanks for the compliment on the glasses however I’m trying out my new contacts today.

Also, I sincerely hope your daughter is well now (as I read in another post). I have two daughters under 6 and I know how hard running a business and being a parent can be - but to be in and out of hospital that just adds so much stress to the mix! The video was great and came across as very natural. I have just started doing videos and I'll admit they do take a bit of work setting it all up, editing, then rendering, then...oh I could go on. But the feedback has been tremendous, it is a great way to build a relationship with your customers and create some professional branding. Regards Damien Hi Vera

That way you wouldn't have to worry about the makeup. Nice glasses, they suit you well. We all need those masks that Jane Jetson of “The Jetsons” cartoon used when talking on the video phone.

Ashleigh - Oh don't be, it's very easy when you use Audio Acrobat plus the web cam on my computer. I literally didn't have to study anything, it is very easy. You can check it out here http://www.verarecommends.com/getaudio . There is "fancier" ways of doing it but for me, I'd rather just use something simple. :-) Jake – Thanks. :-)

I too have been thinking about creating my first video entry; however, I'm somewhat intimidated by the mechanics of shooting it and putting it together. Did you find the process hard? Did you look anywhere in particular for tips about video blogging? Hi!
