Tips to shoot better acoustic videos

As a musician, the time will come that you will want to show your talent to the world, and these days there's nothing more simple. With the proliferation and inclusiveness of Youtube, Vimeo and many more, there's no excuse to present you music to the world accompanied by videos.

As a Boca Raton Vocal Coach one of what I consider among my responsibilities, is to help my students promote their talent. Video and photography are also my passion, so here are some tips to make your own videos.

1. DEVELOP AN IDEA - Have a story, make sketches/storyboards, make sure you have a beginning, a plot and an end

3. CAMERA - Borrow a DSLR camera from a friend, shoot with a grand angular lens if possible or shoot with a cool phone

4. USE A TRIPOD, TABLE, STAND ETC, etc, handholding won't cut it unless your video is Bourne Identity style

5. DON'T RECORD THE AUDIO WITH THE CAMERA - Recording to an external devise will allow you to make some simple edits to your mix, like killing reverb all the way to tuning

6. USE A CLAP - To synch audio to video and to synch multi-camera for the more sophisticated

7. EXPEND TIME IN THE EDITION - Color correct, edit with precision, I can't stress enough how important is to take your time editing, there are plenty of free applications to do it, Davinci for color correcting, Premiere Pro (not free) or Final Cut. Easy to use, very entertaining.

8. PUBLISH IN MORE THAN ONE CHANNEL - Youtube is the obvious one, but Vimeo, Tumblr, Facebook are also a lick away

9. SHARE AND ASK FOR MORE SHARES

Of course this is a very broad summary to what shooting a video involves, however, there are plenty of in depth tutorials on the subject on Youtube, go ahead, get curious.

No more for now, remember, make sure you pick a Boca Raton Vocal Coach who cares about your musical career and get's involved with your journey.
