- You should answer in your NATIVE language
- Questions follow blitz format so all answers should be short: 1-2 phrases, 15-20 seconds per question max.
- Please name the question first, then pause and answer – needed for further convenience in video production
- Basic principles for making video:
- Light background (wall) is better
- Quiet place unfortunately is a must – voice recording is VERY important here (inside your house/apartment is ok)
- Camera should be on the eye level (tripod is the best option, but you don’t have it – you can easily engage your family to make more fun!)
- Record upper part of your body
- It’s better to choose more dark colours for clothes (pure black is not recommended as it’s not convenient in video production; brown, dark blue, green, red or purple is much better)
- Clothes style does not matter (I do not think that anybody will decide to wear a tie..)
- Please make horizontal recording
- Please do Not put any light at the back, it’s much better to put light on you, as speaker, if possible
- You can make 10 different recordings (1 recording for question) if it’s more convenient, or 3, or any number - your convenience is more important
- Smiiiiiiiile :)

- Your speech will be cut to make mesh between different people and will be duplicated by subtitles, so please provide the translation to English.
