First Take is a free 7-day mini course on talking to camera. Each day you record one 30-second take from a ready script and answer one question about it. We don't promise the nerves disappear. We promise one video you're happy to send to someone.
What you get
Seven days, seven takes.
You learn by doing it, not by reading about it. Every script is short enough that the first take is also the last.
- Day 1
Just one sentence
Today it does not have to be good. It only has to be recorded.
- Day 2
The lens is a person
Where to look so you stop looking like you are reading.
- Day 3
Slower than feels right
Nerves make you rush. Slow feels silly and sounds calm.
- Day 4
The pause
Silence instead of "um". A pause reads as confidence.
- Day 5
Your voice, your face
Why your own recording sounds wrong only to you.
- Day 6
Keep going
You trip over a word, say the line again and the take survives.
- Day 7
The one you send
A real video, in your own words, sent to one person you trust.
A taste of Day 1
This is the whole exercise.
Prop your phone at eye level, press record and read this out loud.
Did you finish the take? Then you passed. Don't judge it yet.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Is it really free?
Yes. There is nothing to buy in the course and no card to enter.
Do I need the Prompter Bee app?
Nope. The scripts are on your lessons page, so you can read them from any screen or a sheet of paper next to your camera. Prompter Bee is waiting for App Store review. Once it's live, the same scripts get easier to read because the text follows your voice.
How much time does it take?
About three minutes a day: read the lesson, record a take of 20 to 30 seconds, watch it once. Done.
Who is it for?
People who need video for a business, a job or social media and keep deleting what they record. It is not a course for stage speakers.
Do I get an email every day?
No. You get one email with a link to all seven lessons, and you go at your own pace. One a day works best.
What happens after day seven?
You get occasional emails with tips on recording and news about Prompter Bee. You can unsubscribe with one click in any email.
What do you do with my email address?
We use it to send you the course and those emails, nothing else. We do not sell or share it. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
