Basic guidelines for video recording
Light : Be in a bright room or outside. Daylight is better but artificial light can be a complement. Be careful to not have too much backlight.
Sound : It is preferable not to have any external noise during the recording (voices, cars, electronics). Try to not speak too fast and don’t be too far from your microphone / computer. If you are seated, be careful that your chair doesn’t make noise.
A nice background is great, either virtual or real
