Master Video Practice
The camera never lies. Practice on video to see yourself as judges see you, refine your delivery, and build the on-demand poise that wins crowns.
Video Setup Essentials
Get your recording environment right for the best practice
Camera Placement
Position camera at eye level, 3-5 feet away. This mimics how judges see you on stage.
Lighting Setup
Face a window or use ring light. Avoid harsh overhead lighting that creates shadows.
Audio Quality
Record in a quiet space. Your voice should be clear and easy to understand.
Background
Use a clean, neutral background. Nothing should distract from you.

Video Review Checklist
Ask yourself these questions when watching your practice videos
Did I maintain eye contact with the camera (judges)?
Was my smile natural and reached my eyes?
Did I use confident body language (no fidgeting)?
Was my voice clear, paced well, and easy to understand?
Did I avoid filler words (um, like, you know)?
Did my energy match the moment (not too high or low)?
Would I be proud to show this to the judges?
💡 Pro Tip
Watch your videos without sound first to focus on body language. Then watch with sound to evaluate your verbal delivery. This two-pass review catches more areas for improvement.
