This video was filmed using my Canon 80D DSLR camera and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens using a Rode lavalier microphone.
Camera: amzn.to/34yEMA5
Lens: amzn.to/2VkZShi
Upgraded lavalier microphone: amzn.to/2yQttaG
TOP TEN TIPS:
(Scroll all the way down for details on what I’m wearing and more tips)
1. Have a clean, uncluttered background.
2. Wear makeup, but keep it basic (eyebrow pencil, mascara, bronzer, lipstick with some color)
Brow Tutorial: • My Eyebrow Routine & T...
3. Keep hair simple, ideally away and off your face.
4. Good lighting is the key to a good video experience, Soft, direct light that is in front of you (and not yellow) is what you want.
Dimmable Ring Light w/Tripod & Phone Mount (under $20) bit.ly/2UG7Z7V
Pack of 4 Daylight Bulbs for Video amzn.to/33OzPD4
5, It’s all about the angles. Camera lens should be set at the same height as your hairline so you’re looking slightly upward.
6. Keep your distance from the camera, but don’t go too far! Fill the frame.
7. When in doubt, wear solids, avoid stripes and tiny patterns. Wear something comfortable!
8. Invest in good sound if you can.
Inexpensive microphone option:
The Mic I Have Used (under $20) amzn.to/2Jn3lWV
My Current Mic: amzn.to/2yQttaG
Another option under $40 amzn.to/2Ji7Wty
9. Test everything out BEFORE the meeting!! Give it a test run!
10. Make eye contact & smile!

Just had to say that I LOVE the Mercy Thompson series. So so good.

[@caitlintyner6695]

I’m a teacher having to film myself teaching lessons! I’ve been struggling to get good angles/lighting that don’t make me look horrible. This has been so helpful!! Thank you so much!!

[@intallpines]

Happy belated Birthday Marnie! I enjoyed this video very much and you look gorgeous! Very useful, practical advice, thank you!

[@walkerchris6684]

So timely. I have been turning off my video so I don't frighten my coworkers. My hint is smile it really makes you look so much better.

[@lucis6586]

SO perfect for me right now. I have to record teaching videos now and "meet" with my team to plan. A huge thank you...hugs! Happy birthday!

[@ginab317]

Happy Birthday, Marnie! Enjoy your day!! Thank you for the Zoom tips! Have a great week!💗

[@stephaniekaufman1830]

Happy birthday Marnie! Thank you for the tips and the laugh! We all need that laugh right now.

[@cassandrapryor5034]

I just had to comment!! You did such a phenomenal job. Here we are still in this pandemic situation and I am finally fed up with seeing myself on a Zoom meeting/call looking like a dark dot! I don't normally wear makeup but I will now. And I am 63 yrs young so you can imagine at the point in your video where I laughed the loudest...you were so correct!! Thank you very much for the tips and for sharing. I'm buying one of those ring lights lol. Be Blessed!!

[@tinameyer6667]

Hi Marnie, Happy Belated Birthday! Thank you for the zoom and camera tips! Keep well and look forward to your awesome videos!

[@Sandy_Rosenthal]

Thanks Ms. Goldgirl for the tips.

[@Cee944]

These are great examples for folks that have a big house or a lot of control over their setup...not so much for those of us (me) that rent apartments that have bad natural light, no overhead lights in any rooms, and yellow walls lol.

[@ginakinard6950]

Loved Invention of the Wings!! Thanks for the book recommendations. Happy Birthday!!

[@yellowcake.]

Thank you for these tips [especially lighting and camera [position]. Simple, lo tech and on point!

[@ryanrosario8725]

Marnie, thanks a lot for each and every suggestion! I really enjoyed watching this video!

[@judyatnip9808]

THANK YOU!!! I had not just a work zoom meeting but a zoom job interview and all of your tips were SO HELPFUL!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SydCastillo]

Look at the camera. It is always good to be reminded to look at the camera. Thank you, Marnie! I love the blue eyes! Hugs from Manila, Philippines!

[@kathleenbray9786]

I was enjoying watching your video channel for the first time. As a mother, I want the best for my children and won’t want someone to use their mistakes and broadcast them to the world. Remember the advice “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. This also applies to social media.

[@mygo2girls697]

Thank you! I was on a mission for a light ring to replace my echo look just to have an honest view of what my outfits look like & this was SO Helpful!! Thank You!!

[@theresabyrd4122]

Thanks! So generous to share your tips. Just finished a zoom Sunday School class and we could all use your tips !!

[@kathybettger8672]

[@jeansteel1516]

Thank you SO MUCH. Need for work and the tips really helped. Some of the items you mentioned are sold out, but will keep checking.

[@melbraks9142]

Hi Marnie. Happy Birthday! Thank you for this video. It’s perfect timing for me as I’m about to start creating content at home for our library’s website and social media outlets. Also thanks for the recipe suggestions. I will definitely check out those websites.

[@kelliemcnamara4372]

Thanks for the tips, I’ll try them tomorrow as I start working from home here in Sydney Australia and have the first of many zoom meetings scheduled

[@suzyq3216]

Happy Birthday Marnie! Many more healthy and happy ones to you.

[@amierikke6225]

[@suescookin]

You look so pretty! Thanks for the tips, these will come in handy.

[@kelleywatson8995]

Thank you! I am a Chicago-based actress and love the camera. I wish I had watched your video prior to my early auditions as I definitely made the mistakes to which you refer. Subsequent auditions will be superior. Thanks again!

[@MsGoldgirl]

Break a leg!!

[@robbiesmith6530]

Love your presentation and personality!

[@Christymda]

[@dogwalker97]

Debra Ray I second that request. Marnie, your hair looks extra nice today!

Hi Marnie, Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a beautiful day! Your hair looks so pretty with that hairband and your make up looks pretty too. This video is so timely. Our community home group Bible study from my church can't meet of course, but later today we are going to have a meeting with Zoom. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone "virtually". Thank you for all the tips. xo, Karen

[@PathtoPromotion]

Love this video! Great advice

[@marymartinez2059]

Thanks so much for these tips...I need for a call tomorrow. Very well done video.

[@timothychristian2446]

Excellent video! Very informative.

[@achieving.excellence]

Agree, the background is very important. It is an extension of your personal brand and therefore, should at least be clean and clutter-free. Great tips!

[@MarilynJWenker]

terrific information! thank you!

[@terryomalley2089]

I really like your hair like this!

[@rachelweinstein9008]

Thanks for being there, Marnie! Great video and useful for those needing these helpful tips. Love the book recommendations. Love Julie Mulhern, who you recommended and I’m loving those Country Club Murders”. Thanks again. Stay well and safe. Xo Rachel 💕🌷🐶🐶🐶

[@JohnSmith-cz8lc]

This was so helpful, thank you!!

[@ChristyTV300]

Great, helpful tips. I start teaching on Zoom next week with my students.

[@dianebenner2550]

Thank you for the great tips! I have been looking for this.

[@luckystars228]

Great video! Thank you! Also make sure your spouse isn't cursing in the background...I had to redo a video lesson for my students because my husband decided to loudly say something from another room about picking up the dog sh** in the backyard.😊

[@agukr]

Marnie - you're the best!

[@NICL55]

Thank you so much Marnie! Going to need to zoom myself to my 2nd graders and their families. Not familiar using Zoom or Google Classroom as they want us to use. Nervous. You really helped me to think about how I will present myself. 💖😃

[@mrschony]

Very helpful tips! They actually all helped. Was looking for the answer whether to use natural light or not and you answered it plus the tip about the background light and the type of bulb with the lamp was key. The other very helpful tip was about the brows! Can you imagine…it’s totally true! Ha ha.

[@MsGoldgirl]

So glad I could be of help! Good luck on your Zoom meetings!

[@08powerup]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is so helpful.

[@SaucerJess]

[@MsGoldgirl]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rachels8669]

Thanks Marnie, this is just what I need right now. Small tips but hopefully I’ll stop pretending my camera doesn’t work :)

[@ethelleemiller]

This is excellent. Good advice and great practical tips.

Happy birthday, beautiful! 💙

[@evabeck3348]

Happy Birthday 1 day early. I’m sure you’ll have an awesome birthday to remember 😉!!! State safe and healthy!!!!

[@Makeupgalore1]

Hi Marnie. I've been here for forever. I usually watch whilst getting ready for work in the mornings. Not any more! I am extra appreciating your content whilst in lockdown. No point moaning about the situation. In my home we are all currently fit and well, but uplifting lockdown life is great to see. I'm off to make beer bread. Take care, Lisa

[@MsGoldgirl]

Hi Lisa-how did the beer bread turn out?

[@Makeupgalore1]

@@MsGoldgirl Hi Marnie. Beer Bread was too nice. I keep making it. I can't get hold of bread flour or dried yeast at the moment for my bread maker but this is a very naughty luxury alternative. You and your family keep well and safe. Love from across the pond, Lisa

[@mysunnypie]

I started daily Zoom classes this week with my Pre-k class and now realize my quiet spot in our full house is not very good in terms of lighting and camera angles. Thanks for the tips!

[@QuinceyG]

Thank you for this, Marnie, as I have started working from home for the first time, and needed to be on camera several times last week for the first fine. And, will need to so it regularly now - I HATE it! 😂 Also, wishing you the very happiest and healthiest of birthdays. I turn 45 aim 4/19, so here’s to Aries power :) -Quincey

[@kayb1656]

Papercranesrock My birthday is April 19th too! I’ll be 55 😮.

[@DmitriMogilev]

Thank you, Marnie! Very helpful! Blessings from Belarus!

[@MsGoldgirl]

Thank you!! That’s where most of my family is originally from-we recently found out after all this time we’re not really Russian, but from Ukraine & Belarus!
