I did a little work swapping out and repositioning my microphone in my home studio, and took the opportunity to record a video. It was really hard to hit publish on this. I can see all the flaws. But I also wasn't even supposed to be doing this today so I didn't want to take more time on it.
Would love to hear if you found this useful & want more bite sized things like this, or if you have suggestions for what would make future videos better for you.
I see an improvement opportunity in the toot. Speculating that is of interest to you: Depending on circumstances, your toot's readers may or may not get to see a preview picture of your video.
For those of us who don't get to see such a preview picture (happened to me when seeing it via a boost by @k9ox in the amateur radio corner of the Fediverse), and who also don't know you, the toot offers no clue whatsoever regarding the topic of your video.
@testobsessed @purinkle Thank you for taking the time to speak about this distinction. I’ve found kindness and niceness to be commonly confused - possibly because superficial niceness is a part of cultural norms - often devoid of true commitment to kindness.
Because you requested feedback:
I recommend you adjust the framing so that you are a bit further from the camera, and your eyes align with the top third of the screen.
Here’s an image I created to illustrate:
