How to Look Better on Skype | Public Speaking Video Lecture | Public Speaking: Learn and Boost your Confidence (English) - Communication

so how can you look better on a Skype
call because let's face it we've all
seen people on skype and you got that
shot up their nose the white window in
the background makes their whole face
look so dark you can't see it the sound
is all tinny and it just makes most
people look awful and it's not a
pleasant experience the good news is
it's relatively easy with a couple of
changes to make anyone look great
on a Skype call you can look like you're
in a network TV studio for starters you
don't want to have the camera low and if
you've got your camera on your laptop
and it's sitting on the desk
chances are it's shooting up your nose
well nobody looks good with a camera
shooting up their nose you can just get
a stack of books or anything else and
put that underneath your laptop you want
the camera right around your eye level
maybe just a couple inches below but you
don't want it a foot below the next step
you want more light in front of you not
behind you that means you can't have a
window behind you or a window that's
open with the blinds not shut because
the camera is going to latch on to the
light and if there's more light behind
you it's going to darken out your face
and you can't be seen so either change
the angle of the camera so you're not
pointing to a window or make sure your
blinds are shut and make sure you have
more light in front of you I've had
times where I've just taken taken lamps
off lampshades off put it in front of me
and then the light looks okay on me and
finally you need to improve your audio
for about 15 bucks you can go to Radio
Shack and get a plug in live mic and you
just pin it right on your jacket or
shirt and now the audio quality is much
much better you'll sound like a network
news anchor and not this problem all
August tinny sound like Charlie Brown's
teacher you'll sound
much better follow those tips and you'll
look and sound great on a Skype
interview or a Skype call with business
colleagues or friends and family
