Tips for appearing in a video for your non-profit organization

Being asked to appear in a video for your non-profit organization is an honor. Here are some tips to make it a great experience. 

  • Wear a shirt or blouse with a collar so they have a place to clip the microphone.
  • Turn your cell phone completely OFF before entering the interview.
  • Clothing: Avoid small patterns or clothing with high contrast.
  • Blue, medium blue or gray, pale pink and beige/tans work well.
  • Do not wear clothing with tight patterns or pin stripes. This causes an optical illusion called a moiré pattern, which any camera struggles with.
  • Avoid clothing with large patterns or geometric shapes or logos. The audience will watch your clothes instead of you.
  • Avoid wearing all black, all white, or any red on television or video. Even the best of cameras have trouble with these colors.
  • Avoid flashy jewelry. It reflects light and is distracting.
  • Remove eyeglasses unless your audience won’t recognize you without them. If you must wear them, drop your chin a bit to avoid glare.
  • Be conversational and try to relax.
Women:
  • Do not wear vivid red lipstick or lip gloss. Stick to softer tones.
  • Avoid dangly jewelry on neck and wrists. It makes noise that will be picked up by your microphone.
  • Wear makeup. It has the practical purpose of reducing the glare of TV lights.
