Thailand Introduction Video & Where to Start

  1. When filming an introduction video, we recommended being in a well-lit environment and dressing conservatively/smartly/politely.

  2. Try to film yourself sitting down, half body, in the centre of the camera, and be enthusiastic and smiling a lot…

  3. Ensure to speak slowly so Thai Teachers/Administrators can understand you easily, and it’s essential to know that they are listening to see if they think the students will understand your pronunciation.  

  4. Try to make it around 40 secs – 1 minute in length.

(Note: be careful if you have a strong accent, try to normalize/soften your accent)
