April Feedback Post: Get and give feedback on your course here!

Hi everyone, I'd love to hear what you think.

I had to combine a number of skills in producing this - a real learning experience for me. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks, Brian, for the feedback! It's helpful.

Thank you, Musavi!

Hi,

Let me first start by saying I don't speak Arabic, so I hope someone else chimes in. That being said I was able to understand what your course was about in some detail and what I would learn if I signed up about seizures. The lighting is spot on, as is the framing and audio is sharp with no background, humming or other small noises in the background.

Also, I saw your post last week on re-shooting because you are a perfectionist. I do the same, I re-shoot almost every video 4-5xs and spend a ton of time on re-doing work. Let me first start by telling you the students like high-quality courses but at a certain point, I have come to realize that I am driving myself nuts in my own mind and with my own expectations and by now I could probably have 4-5xs more (quality) courses doing well then the 2 I have now I continue to re-shoot ad nauseam. This sounds great and looks great! Make the course, keep up the work, do some awesome marketing early and hit publish! Then repeat!

I will try to tag some Arabic speaking instructors I know, hope others can do the same to help gain more feedback.

Keep up the good work,

Alicia

thank you Alicia for your feedback.

you said ''audio is sharp with no background'' how can I solve this? is it by adding some background music or manage my microphone distant ?

The floating words and people are very distracting and does not look professional or polished. I too am your target audience and at this point wouldn't sign up.

-Remove the floating opaque people,

-Remove the floating testimonials at the beginning

-Remove the click/typing noise.

I wonder if the start intro part should be moved back and it should start with what the course is and maybe very brief bio, "Hi I'm Susan Smith, a communication expert" before moving further in. Also, I would like to know about what qualifies you to teach this, drop some credentials like a mini bio.

The good: You have a great speaking voice, it's difficult to tell but the audio seems crisp beyond the clicking noise, I like the idea of more than one presenter (I presume those people are not just actors if they are removing them from the intro)

It has too much going on visually to focus on the content. Clean it up, keep it simple and good luck!

Way too much going on here. The video lacks a clear focal point at any given time and all of the background elements, between the words and disembodied heads, are massively distracting.

Not to mention: This is a course on body language and you have everyone framed so no body language is visible!

Sorry, we couldn’t find that page.

Take a look at the Phil Ebiner promo videos. I am trying to achieve that level of promo videos in my courses.

Hi;

Congrats.

It's really great and also you can consider these:

1. Lights -> Great

2. Content -> amazing

3. Style -> Great

4. Time -Great

5- Sound -> I thinks it's better to user another tie-clip microphone for better results.

and use Audacity to remove background noises.

6- Add some text titles and on screen text description for better look

7- If it's possible add some transition to your video

8-You can use the Corel Video Studio.It's really easy and cheap software.

Above were only suggestions and i hope best wishes for your promo video.

Regards;

Hi Bandalhi

Thank you for your insight and advice on the video. Will work on it this week and send a revised version.

Great observations, Mark! Thank you for your feedback!

OK, a couple comments.

First, I generally think it is very good. I like the intro music and then fading it out.

Second, You have a very good speaking voice. You are very clear and enthusiastic and the audio recording quality is very good.

Third, I think the graphics are very good.

Fourth... this is my only suggestion for improvement... I think you should show yourself... get on camera so we can see who is talking. Some level of intimacy with the instructor I believe is important, rather than just a voice of slides. And, did you tell us what your background and credentials are? Maybe I missed it.

Overall, good job!

Thank you for your great feedback. I am onto your suggestions.

Thanks once again!
