I have recorded thousands of interviews in my lifetime. I would say that it is my core competence. It takes a lot of subtlety and sophistication which is not obvious. It includes being aware that the person in front of the camera is profoundly affected by the person or people behind the camera whether or not you make YouTube videos or videotaped interviews, I believe you will find this of value to better understand how what you are seeing on YouTube or on TV or on Instagram or wherever you are seeing video, is affected by the people behind the camera. How they behave. What they look like physically.  Facial expressions. Age. Gender. Race. Everything that the person who is being interviewed sees or hears from the person or people behind the camera, affects what that person says and how they said. Video interviewing requires sensitivity and awareness that you are not just asking a question of someone who you are recording, but you are interacting on a much deeper level. That awareness will make you a much better interviewer and if you are viewing, more sophisticated viewer. So many of my Subscribers and people who I speak to at conferences want to create something. A book. A video. A podcast. I hope that this helps you get past whatever is blocking you from giving a try video recording and interviewing.
