In this video
I'm going to share three ways that you can create better video content give better
Presentations create more engaging audio content like podcasts, but first I'm Derek Halpern
You're watching my daily vlog where I help entrepreneurs get ahead in business and in life
So if you're new here make sure you subscribe to my channel
Alright, so I'm talking to you today from Charlotte
North Carolina as you know I'm a partner in a health product line
I had to fly down here because we were preparing some video content for our upcoming launch in late February
This is why I've been thinking about video content
I'm on set today, and I'm working with some talent to try and figure out how to create more engaging
Videos we want people to watch the videos we want people to have fun while watching these videos
And I kept giving some advice and some tips on how to make the content more interesting more engaging and how to actually
perform it on video
And I realize that there are three ways that you can make
Content more engaging on video the first way is you need to?
modulate your voice
Everyone knows what it's like to watch someone
Who is monotonous I always think back to Wonder Years that one teacher that would always just sit there and talk
Completely straight, and it was so horrible
No one likes to listen to a monotonous speaker so
Modulating your voice helps you create
interesting
points in your content to make people pay attention as
An example as you hear even right now you hear me getting louder you hear me getting lower
This is part of how you can make your content interesting now remember if you're making video content
not everyone is going to be watching you on camera some people are going to press play and go to a different tab at
This point this is where modulation has an opportunity to bring people back into your video to engage
So when you're thinking about creating video content
You want to raise your voice you want to lower your voice you want to speed up your voice you want to slow it down
The second way you can make your content more engaging is by using hand movements
Many people who get on video for the first time they often use one hand expression
They might just go you know power fingers, and that's it
But there are many different ways you can communicate your point with your hands as
You're watching this video you see what I'm doing. You're watching this video. I'm making you come in or
Showing an idea or saying it's okay or showing you two there are ways you can
Communicate your point with your hands and the more you do it the more engaging you're gonna be on camera
It also gives people a reason to watch you first look away
Now of course you can't use hand movements for your audio content
But it will work for your presentations and for your video content
And when you're watching yourself on video try to take note. What kind of hand movements
Do you use do you use the same hand movement over and over again?
Is there a way you can replace that?
Movement with one other movement now this doesn't mean you want to make things all complicated and get all confused
You're more if you're the type of person that doesn't do any hand movements at all try to work one hand movement into your presentation
after you get one hand movement in try to add another one if
You're already the type of person that uses one or two different hand movements do a Google search
Try to find other
Hand movements that you can make that you can start experimenting with to make your points the third way you can be more
engaging on video and in audio is
By assuming a character, and what do I mean by this?
Sometimes you'll hear me make fun of somebody like in one of my coffee shop stories. I might say so the other day
I'm at a coffee shop, and this guy leaned over and asked me
What are you writing a screenplay, and you just kind of?
Accentuate the character by changing your voice. You don't even have to be an actor
it just means you change the way you talk as
An example Here I am speaking to you directly
And I have this tone of voice in this type of posture and this type of experience
But if I wanted to assume a character I would just change my voice a little bit
And maybe I use a different hand movement so for example
What are you writing a screenplay?
Like you could just change your voice and assume that character this makes your video and audio content more engaging because it shakes people awake
They're listening
And they're passively listening
The second you change it up and you use a different type of voice all of a sudden the people that were
Passively listening may perk up and start actively listening
I wanted to share this with you today because it was top of mind. I was filming my own videos
I was helping feeling some marketing videos
And I was thinking you know what some of this stuff that we're going through right now is applicable to you
And that's why I'm here sharing this now

But I wanted to share this with you today because I want you to know that as you know
I started this vlog back in January 1st of 2018 and I want to do this daily
