Hi Nancy ,its Shantal from SOUTH AFRICA .I just qualified to be a ESL teacher and I really enjoyed your videos .It is very helpful to me.Thank you for the helpful videos you post .

[@NancyTaylor]

I'm so happy to hear that! Good luck on your ESL journey!

[@jennajanzen9440]

You’re “raw footage” had me cracking up on the treadmill at my gym.

[@NancyTaylor]

haha!! Love it!!

[@michellebautista6336]

I turned in a pretty mediocre profile video....so....while waiting on approval of all my documents here I am learning how to edit....thank you Nancy!!!!

[@teacherbonnie5235]

Yay Teacher Nancy! Thank you for this. I launched my channel Saturday and I am looking forward to use this information!

[@CindyBennett13]

Awesome!!! Pop sockets are so amazing!!!

[@jstalnaker28]

That’s so cool. The slide. The teleport. 😊😂❤️

[@joseybrown7649]

You are THE BEST!!!

[@pdselchert]

Fun! :) Thank you for the excellent walk through and even behind-the-screens footage. Very helpful! I'm using iMovie on my Macbook so editing will carry over well. I used a fairly decent camcorder so fingers crossed it will turn out well. I need to get a handle on my lighting situation (either too harsh or opposite, shadowy) but it seems editing will give options to clean it up a bit. Was good to hear, "Just go for it! Don't worry about perfection. Edit and have fun." Not word for word of course but... Love the creative way of being in one place and landing in the classroom!

[@SMoore2Love]

I need that Dino popsocket!

[@tashainjena]

Ava is such a doll!

[@marydian3863]

thank you so much Nancy for this great advices. it is help me ALOT!!!!

[@NancyTaylor]

I'm so glad!!

[@dhriti88]

You are so funny! I loved your video!

[@Midori4life]

There's an app called Video Shop that works for Android as well!

[@smartchickgirl812]

LOVE your videos! Do you only use the iMovie to edit? How do you add the pop-ups on your screen? (arrows, PiP, etc) Thanks!

[@blizzliz]

Thank you :D !

[@davidchodds]

Loved the raw footage. I'm still laughing.

[@bren4681]

Very helpful! I need to do my intro. Heading out to the beach (around the corner!).

[@NancyTaylor]

Sounds dreamy! Good luck!

[@Arual2244]

Thanks, Nancy! I sort of panicked when I got to the part when I have to add my intro video. You eased my anxiety by posting this tutorial. :)

[@NancyTaylor]

I'm so glad!

[@carolynirvin3689]

I can not figure out how to get my imovie to my computer. I am a new hire, so I can not do this on my mobile app at this time, or is there a way around this?

[@dannycast4104]

Hello Nancy thanks for sharing. amazing video you are so beautiful and smart greatings!

[@linzer3892]

Random question: I was wondering if I’m allowed to film my intro at Disney? I thought it might be fun/creative for the kiddos, but I don’t know if VIP Kid would be okay with me filming something so associated with a brand.

[@davescave7267]

Yay!!!

[@jstalnaker28]

Could you do a tutorial about many cam with google slides? You explain things well. So many of those are hard to understand.

[@NancyTaylor]

I wish! I need it explained to me too! hehehe! Teacher Ellie is bomb at explaining it though!! Check out her youtube channel or teacher Carol! Just type in VIPKid and their names & then Manycam & they will pop up!!:) Thanks for such a kind compliment!

[@shareenali3823]

Hi , Can native english speakers who are non US or Canada citizens sign up to teach English online with Vipkids ?

[@toribobian4435]

There are some conflicting reports on how long or big the video can be. I just got an email from vipkid saying that it can be no bigger than 20 MB but other places Im seeing 100MB. I have my video down to about 23 seconds and the MB are still too big and Im seeing other videos at 40 sec or so. What am I doing wrong or how big can the file really be??

[@jhullender3046]

I didn't realize you could get iMovie on Android . I tried searching for it in the Play Store and two options came up but they didn't look like the real deal if you know what I mean. Any ideas about that? Great video and so helpful! Thank you!

[@NancyTaylor]

Great question!!! I just researched it online to see, and you are right the Play Store doesn't offer IMovie. I was trying to search and find a similar video editor for android users! let me know if you find one!! My bad! So glad you mentioned this because I'll need to put iphone users. Face palm...

[@jhullender3046]

@@NancyTaylor no problem! I just thought I might be missing something. I have used Magesto and Google Photos to make some movies. They work pretty well. But I have a certain song that I want for a movie and can't figure out how to get it on the movie. I need to research. I'm sure there is a way!

[@jhullender3046]

[@emilygrace1960]

Do you have a video of you doing some of these things in real life...? I'm not following you on some of this - definitely a visual learner. I do best when I can see it in action.

[@kimberlyeisfeld8389]

HeyNancyTaylor.com! I LOVE your videos you are SO Real and hilarious! Love it.

[@NancyTaylor]

Oh, thank you so much! Too kind! :))
