## 1. Practice
The first thing to remember is to speak in your own words, without reading the lines. Scripts written by copywriters and marketers often contain industry jargon and unfamiliar words.
The best way to avoid reading the lines is to practice. Make sure you practice out loud at least once before the actual recording.
It is no exaggeration to say that the way you speak determines everything. Your heartfelt words will be conveyed to the audience. It is important to gain their trust.
## 2. Smile
It’s a standard piece of advice, but a smile is the most effective way to convey your appeal. Just by seeing your smile, your words will be conveyed in an attractive way.
Before you speak, smile and look at the camera. Greet your viewers with a smile and get their attention.
## 3. Conclusion
The final line is very important. End the video on a good note with a memorable line. Be careful not to look away from the camera.
## 4. Have confidence
The most important thing is to have confidence. Whether it’s in real life or in a video, your anxiety will be immediately conveyed to the audience. Confidence will attract the audience.
Be aware of these four points and speak in a way that gives the audience a sense of trust.
