The problem with untrained video presence-

• It ALWAYS comes through, consciously or unconsciously, and is distracting.
• Eyes on preview screen - fine to check occasionally to make sure you're in frame. YouTube is about eye contact.
• Long pauses while talking, filler words. - It's ok to pause, then say what you're thinking all at once.
• Not speaking with certainty - It's ok to be uncertain, just be certain about it.
• Non-purposeful or unnecessary movement.
• Laugher that's looking for approval or alleviating stress.
• Monotone, or not a lot of tone variance. (interest)
• Sounds like talking to a camera, not to a friend.
