Go watch kallahan on YouTube.

The easiest way is to stand in front of the camera and talk, but it’s not for everyone. Second easiest is to record B roll- scenery or yourself doing something very basic like working at a desk or doing dishes, and use text on screen.

Good reels start with a good script. I’d start by taking what you’re already creating and presenting it. I approach all my short videos that way. It keeps them focused and intentional.

In terms of practice, I recommend setting up your phone and recording yourself presenting the same script 5 times. Then watch it back and note things you’d like to change. Could be big stuff or little stuff. Keep doing that for a week and you’ll see a dramatic improvement.

From there, let your approach to the videos evolve. When something pops off, ask why and analyze it. Then repeat it.

Start by building a repeatable format, not by chasing trends. Pick three formats: talking-head answer, B-roll with voiceover, and before/after or process clip. For each, write a one-line hook, three beats, and one CTA. Batch six rough clips before editing any of them, then compare retention or watch time. The goal is not becoming a video person overnight; it is creating a small testing loop.
