Video format, tips, and submission:

-Film in a ¾ horizontal shot. Top of the head to the knees should be visible in the frame.

-Audio should be high quality, but studio quality is unnecessary. You might consider using an external microphone with your device.

-Find a suitable, quiet location with good lighting. Preferably, you want a room without many reflexive and hard surfaces. Consider eliminating sounds like wind, plumbing, air- conditioning, and cars. Natural light works best. Shine a light toward you, rather than in back of you. Do not record in front of a window.

-Don't forget to review your recordings when you are finished to be sure it's your best work.
