Record.
Vertical phone video is best — 30 to 90 seconds is the sweet spot. Audio works too if you're camera-shy. We'll show you a review before anything is final.
How to nail it — the 3-part script + tips
The 3-part script
Your name and role. "I'm Maria, a parent in Cherry Creek." "I'm plugging into ___." The line you wrote. Look at the camera. Mean it. Your prompt. The angle you picked — why bell-to-bell matters where you are.
What makes a great take
Face the camera. Phone vertical is fine.
Good light beats good production. Sit by a window.
Real talk > reading. If you're going to read, glance, don't recite.
30–90 seconds is the sweet spot. Don't worry about being perfect.
