Recording Your Demo
5-Minute Setup Guide
Before You Hit Record:
Phone or laptop webcam, 1080p at 30fps (this is the recommended sweet spot. No need for 4K, it just creates a larger file without adding quality here)
Camera
Soft, even light facing you. A window or a lamp in front, not behind you. Avoid harsh shadows on your face.
Lighting
A clean, static space. Plain wall or tidy room. Nothing moving behind you (no people walking by, no screens playing, no reflections).
Background
Quiet room, no fans/AC/background chatter. Only your voice should be audible. No one else speaking in the background.
Audio
Camera at eye level, chest-up framing, your head centered and fully visible at all times. Don't lean out of frame during the recording.
Framing
Keep hand gestures minimal and out of frame if possible. Avoid hands crossing in front of your face.
Hands
Solid colors work best. Avoid tight stripes or small busy patterns.

How to Record
This is the part that matters most.
Do 1-2 Quick Warm-Up
Do 1-2 quick warm-up run-throughs first. Just to get comfortable, these don't count.
ONE Continuous Video
Record your final take as ONE continuous video. Part A (the written script) flowing directly into Part B (your own words), no pauses, no stopping, no cuts.
If You Make a Mistake:
Don't stop the recording if you make a mistake. Either keep going naturally, or restart the entire recording from the beginning. Never send us multiple short clips stitched together. It has to be a single unedited file.
Total Length
At least 2 minutes, ideally 2.5-3 minutes, in one unbroken take.
Sending It Over
Please don't send via WhatsApp (it compresses quality). Use WeTransfer / Google Drive link instead and share the link with us.
