Location

Find a quiet location with little background noise. Avoid areas with lots of echoes. The audio recording is just as important as the video recording.

Choose a non-distracting background. Avoid windows, moving objects, people in the background, etc.  Avoid messes behind you. Keep the focus on you, the person on camera.
