Rating of the written review should be independent of any video review. One should not impact the other.

Practice.

Seriously. Shoot a couple videos in a row until you know what you're going to say and how you're going to say it. See which movements work or don't work. Script, but don't memorize. Preview your videos...that's just off the top of my head

Do it! I think that would be great. Cut two holes in the bottom and wear it around posing sexy like.

No charge.

Agreed, I much prefer a canvas tote!

To get a good video review you should be thorough and straight to the point. Make yourself an outline to try and avoid saying "um" a bunch of times (I know I'm guilty of it anyway), and try to show everything without rushing us but also without taking forever. The video is there mostly to show things that the text review just can't, so there's no need to talk about cleaning or anything like that in a video review.

Yes. I also wish there was a separate rating for videos on the actual review page, because in order to rate it you have to go all the way over to the Edentube and then rate it, and no one really sees it or knows what the deal is.

Keep it simple.

There are very few toys that require a video over 7 minutes long.

Also: tell me about the toy. No, seriously. TELL ME ABOUT THE TOY. A vide where you talk about the fact that you like it and it works well doesn't help if you're not saying "well it's flexible which works well for ____" or "I like it because it's girthy, as you can see..."

And keep it under 3 minutes. Seriously, unless I know it's a video comparing multiple products, I just end it if it's longer.

Okay, cool! I think I did okay in mine (anyone want to check, haha); I'll probably try and do some more once I'm back in my own place and not my parents' house.

Try not to say UMMMM a lot, and try to speak loud and clearly into the camera. Also, lighting is a good thing to get down!
