Here are some tips on how to get the best from your on-camera talent 🔑

ps. Some of these could even apply if you are your own talent in front of your camera.

✅ 1. Think like the talent - consider what direction your actor or interviewee might need from you.
✅2. Be empathetic - Make sure you're listening to your talent's answers or dialogue, this will allow them to open up more.
✅3. Reduce distractions - Keep onlookers out of the line of sight, create a comfortable environment.
✅4. Manage that time - Prepare enough time for talent to review the script and get comfortable with lines. For interviews let them know the general top of the conversation, but do not give out too much as they will start answering the question in their heads and edit themselves ahead of time.
✅ 5. Breathe - Take time before any shoot to relax and center oneself.
✅ 6. Set the tone - On-camera talent will often reflect the mood & style of the Director.
✅ 7. Stay Positive - Don’t lose your cool, even if it’s the 20th take. Give advice, offer a short break, or consider doing another line rather than trying to force a certain delivery.
✅ 8. HAVE FUN!

Talents are usually the focus of any project so they are a crucial and integral part of most productions. Use these tips to create the best environment possible and as result, your final composition will be flawless! 🥂
