@It's Okay It's okay (see what I did there) to put on makeup or get botox or dye your hair. It's okay to shave your legs or tattoo your eyebrows or wax your mustache. And it's equally ok to not to do those things if you prefer not to. What's not okay is to shame someone for doing what makes them feel pretty. No one has to do it if they dont want to. And there are PLENTY of channels who dont. I follow 20 women on insta who dont dye their hair. Angie's hair is beautiful. Wish I had the time and money to do that to my hair.

@It's Okay I think I hear what you're saying. But aging well doesn't have to mean wearing no makeup and leaving your hair in a flop. After all, most of the women in their 20s and 30s who have "beauty vlogs" aren't going "au natural, " either, right? They're putting effort into their appearance to. So she's not doing anything any other female vlogger isn't already doing. That's how I see it.

She definitely dispensed with a lot of the trendy advice about lighting given by videographers that thrive from their KZread subscribers as much as from project clients. I especially like the non-judgmental, matter of fact advice about composing yourself and being aware of bad habits many people aren't even aware they do, especially the touchy touchy stuff. I've had a few video and graphics clients who were in hospitality - owners and managers - and they don't even know that they constantly do that 'thing' about putting a finger on their lip to wet it so they can pick up menus for arriving patrons. All. The. Time. OMFG!!!!

How are you doing today

As a professional photographer I was blown away at how expertly and easily you did this tutorial. It's not easy for people to live through Zoom but you have improved people's lives with your talk .

I had a zoom interview this week with a company where I am old enough to be everyone's mom. I watched your video and it made a HUGE difference in how I looked on camera - in regards to lighting, computer position, and background. All was great advice and I felt much more confident. (and then the camera didn't work. lol) But now I know the drill for next time.

Can I also add - people need to become acquainted with the “mute” and “turn off video” functions. A person should be muted unless it is relaxed environment, meeting with friends, etc. If it is an actual business meeting, if the host doesn’t mute everyone automatically, please mute yourselves. I was on a call the other evening and someone was moving around, shuffling papers and their laptop, talking to their spouse, etc, after they entered the meeting late. It was very distracting. And if you need to get up or someone comes in and you need to take your attention to them, either move your built in camera slider (if you have one) to black out your video, or click the three dots in the top right of your box and disable your video. Just some little hints that are Zoom etiquette, and make the meeting more enjoyable (or at least tolerable -lol) for others. Thanks for the awesome video, Angie!

I have ordered many of your makeup tips/ideas and I love them all and they are so flattering! Can't thank you enough for what you do! You are a true inspiration! Hugs, Michelle

Honestly these are the best tips I’ve seen in a video of this kind. So practical and easy to understand. The mug and testing lighting with your phone first are genius!!

As a photographer I must say these were EXCELLENT tips. Explained succinctly and very well in lay-person terms. Awesome! 😃

I really appreciate your content. I"m 45 and I feel like you're answering my questions before I ask them!

Angie you are AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for this video! I'm glad I accidentally ran across your video. I followed your tips and it landed me a second interview!!!!!!

The lighting tip was the best one that most people haven't figured out yet.

Thank you, Angie, for this perfect delivery and straight information, exactly what we need to know. Without trying to sell anything. Keep up the good work. Keep safe!

I'm about to lead a webinar in 3 days for the first time. This was perfect and super helpful! Thanks.

What a lovely woman, not afraid to show her self with bad lighting , bad positions. Sharing great tips and showing also how to speak and hold your attention without blabbing and going on too long!

Hi Angie, Just wanna say quick thank you for the great tips you have given us. They work well for my first Zoom meeting. I actually have done some KZread videos myself previously before I have found your channel. I love how genuine you are and also you are so spot on! Awesome. 💕 👍

Thank you so much for this! You always go all out, putting so much effort into every video you make, I so appreciate you, Angie!

Thank you, Gia!!! I'm a teacher who does not like zoom, but your tips are great, and I appreciate your warm and helpful tone.

Ha ha, Angie, I just ran into this video as it’s the first one of yours that I saw! I was hooked//and subscribed//and the rest is history and you’re my new best friend 💕. A friend back east was doing zoom meetings (and some tv spots on a national basis) and her lighting was absolutely terrible so I was looking for advice on that. This was awesome! She’s got it down now.

This has been extremely helpful. Before quarantine I hadn’t even hear of Zoom. Now we have almost daily meeting with school, friends, work. Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work and stay healthy!

Angie, I have allowed myself to binge watch your videos while on "lock down." It has been SO great. And now this amazingly helpful and timely video! You are the best!!!!! Keep doing what you are doing. We need more common sense people like you!

Angie! Thank you🙏💕Practical common sense advice. I’m excited to watch you makeup tips too! Video chats are now a way of life in business. I still want want to look my best even with the pandemic and a few simple things with some planning can make such a different impression.

This video is perfect!!! I have been in my company 22 years and tomorrow I have my first virtual interview with some clients for a new position. These tips were incredibly helpful and very much appreciated!!!!!

It's very funny that we've come to this, but I'm so glad there are people like you who can help with all of our ZOOM meetings! I've taken all your advice and feel much more confident. Thanks & Happy Easter!

Getting on my first ZOOM call for work on Friday (day after tomorrow), and this really helps. Thanks!

Exactly what I needed!! I just moved across the country from the SF Bay Area the northeastern midwest - everything is different here, and the completely unpredictable weather and lighting are no exception, lol. I am in the middle of remodeling the house and I currently have my computer set up in my bedroom as we work on the office! I was panicked when I needed to set up for zoom meetings with clients! It's not ideal, but with your help I can make it work! I'm also 47, so tips coming from another mature woman are appreciated! I avoid video calling because I look terrible, and don't like revealing that to friends and family! Your tips have already helped a lot! Thank you! Patricia

Thanks Angie - I love all of your videos and this one is spot-on as always! Super helpful.

I'm glad collagen was mentioned here. I have been using it for 3 years now, but in the recent weeks, had not remembered to fill up my smaller container, and simply hadn't been using it. I am remedying that right away! I had started with bone broth, which really is a helpful and healing thing, but moved to collagen because it is easier, both for storage and for use. Bone broth is wonderful, but having a cup of broth every day isn't always desirable, particularly in the summer, we're College in can be mixed into pretty much any non carbonated beverage. But both collagen and bone broth are wonderful for the skin, the joints, and just general overall good health. I will also recommend trying the phytoceramides. They help moisturize from the inside out.

I agree with Princess Izzy. I always admire how friendly yet professional and classy you are. You are my role model. I am 62 and not embracing the changes age has put on my face. I hate!! looking at myself. Thank you for this. Lots of helpful info!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and help “us” others out. BTW, you look amazing! You’re beautiful and kind. 🙏🏼💕

Never really thought about this so your topic was intriguing. Great job. You’re beautiful and your presentation was good.

Excellent tips, Angie. I’m a professional filmmaker, but I love how you simplify instructions for the non-professional. 😉

That distraction of starting into other parts of the screen and not into the camera is very real. Your tips are excellent! Thank you!

I'm working hard to re-vitalize my YT channel and these are essential practices every time the camera is turned on. I almost said "tips", but everyone that is going in front of a camera should be aware of all of these and follow them for the best and most professional results. Thanks for sharing your expertise. And let me add, you look marvelous, even in bad lighting.

This is PERFECT timing!!! Tomorrow evening, I'll be on my very first Zoom with 2 girlfriends (one in Colorado and one in Texas). I'm in Louisiana. We use to work together years ago and are still super close. I ALSO appreciate your makeup tips because I'm much older than they are (I'm 62) and I need to look alert and healthy so they won't worry about me! haha! Thanks so much for your tips!

This explains why I looked so great during my meeting today. I sat in front of a sunny window with white sheer curtains. Camera was slightly above me cause I had to take notes and be hands free. Great vid. Very timely.

Thank you Ms. Angie for the great tips. I started testing them as I was watching your video.

This was a great video! I am a case manager (CPRS) and work from home now, so I’m on Zoom mtgs at least 3 times per day. So glad I found this specific video!! ❤

A very honest, well thought out presentation. I'm going to share this with my wife who has been doing a lot of Zoom meetings from home lately. By the way, I always tend to believe those that lead by example. Keep up the good work Angie!

Angie's suggestions were great and helped me think about my home office setup in a different way. I am new to working remotely so am just now figuring out video calls, etc. I was trying not to purchase any new equipment but given that I am using a home office in our basement with very little natural light I finally gave in and purchased the ring light Angie recommended. What a game changer! This light is great - lighting is everything and I cannot believe the great difference it makes. With this light I don't feel like I need to wear as much makeup either (I am 51 years old and am just wearing a tinted primer, lip gloss, mascara, little blush and feel pretty confident Zooming while using the light). Thanks Angie for the great tips.

Excellent set of tips! I got recruited to conduct COVID Zoom awareness courses with other instructors and my first lesson is the lighting situation. I use my home office and figured out that the window behind my dual monitors works best by using the vertical blinds to throttle the light source to the point that minimizes wash-out on my face. I also note how often other instructors pay NO attention to lighting and present themselves with washout as well as all sorts of distractions. Thanks much for the tips!

VERY helpful, especially the lighting and face-positioning angle.

Definitely watched this video on my first interview on zoom. Thanks for great tips! Omg. You don't look your age. I woulda guessed WAY lower. Hm. I just realized even tho I'm in mid 20's I would not mind dating older. Learned something new today about myself.

Thank you for this! I’ve heard that advice on flattering lighting many times, but actually seeing examples of good, bad, and so-so lighting (and how to tell) actually made it make sense! Two more hair tips: A headset microphone is great for hiding flat hair, especially if you get a padded one. (It’s basically a headband, but does not make me look 12.). Also, if you’re going to put your hair up, topknots or side buns/ponies look better than styles that hide your hair on the back of your head like regular ponies or French twists. Also: taking these steps really helps give a good impression, but at the end of the day everyone else is just as worried about how they look to you!

Thank you for the tips on lighting. I really needed to know that.

Angie, as a professional photographer/videographer your tips were spot on. A tip I use often is cut pieces of an old shower curtain to drape over or in front of your light source. This acts as a poor persons diffuser and will soften light if it's too harsh. A large square of black felt can be placed on your desk or near the surface of your light source to kill reflected light that may make your skin look washed out. If you buy a dimmer switch from the hardware store to put between your lights plug and the wall socket you can adjust the lights brightness. Lastly, your video looks really professional but you never showed us the setup you use for the actual money shot - Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks, beautiful video.
