Help me.

^ This is the right answer, just don’t blur too much or it can be really obvious to others. There are also filters that help. There’s one that makes the lighting appear a little brighter and warmer, getting rid of harsh shadows. Helps on no makeup/tired days.

I have the reverse issue. Look great in photos/zoom but tragic irl 😆

Maybe change the lighting or angle of the cam? Usually having the cam below your face is rather unflattering

If lightning is an issue, check out a ring light on Amazon or B&H. Zoom meeting lighting and webcam are best slightly above your face.

Definitely recommend a ring light, I got one that has a warmer tone to the lighting, it can cause headaches though if it's on more than an hour. I moved my desk to the center of the room, organized & decorated the space behind me to be warmer tones & also swapped out the light bulbs in my office to the warm tones and hung 2 lamps from the ceiling from ikea over the space directly in front of me.

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?
