Wear a Waist-Up Wardrobe
Ask yourself, how do I show up in the world? What outfit reflects my radiance? Choose your waist-up wardrobe to reflect your personality and how you live your day to day. Do you wear a more corporate look in a regular basis, or are you more casual? Whatever you are, keep these essential wardrobe tips in mind:
- Wear longer sleeves with solid colors as shown in the samples below.
- Avoid bold patterns like stripes and prints that distract from your face.
- If you wear glasses, think about the kind of glare you are reflecting from your screen and adjust accordingly.
Tips to Set Up Your Recording Space
Ideally, we would like to interview you on a newer model laptop with a built-in camera. The recording platform, Riverside, does allow both Android and iPhones for recording. If choosing the phone recording option, please make sure you have a decent stand to hold your phone up at eye level. If you have a laptop, use a stand or stack of books underneath so the main camera is exactly at your eye level.
Best Lighting Practices
When set in front of a window, it gives beautiful wrap-around light to the face. If you don’t have a window, supplement light with a ring light as shown below. Here is an Amazon link to purchase a ring light if you need one.
