The human face is the most interesting and attractive thing you can show in video. That's why it is important to know how to present people properly. 

A talking head video is an interview-style or presenter-led video that usually features an instructor or subject matter expert who talks directly into the camera or off camera as though they are addressing the learner directly.

A talking head is a really great format, but how does it work? Creative talking head videos can deliver your company story, personal message, testimonial or expert opinion in a relatable and individual way. We cover the benefits of harnessing talking head videos for your business. 

Easy to Create

You’ve encountered countless talking heads on social platforms like YouTube or TikTok. Many content creators are making a fortune on these platforms with minimal operational costs. All you need is a camera, a loose script, an editing tool, and you’re good to go. Sure, you can add animation, video footage, images, and sound effects to your video — which of course increases costs. But a pure talking-heads video is one of the most effective ways to use video for your brand or business.

It's Personal

One thing we all have in common is that we’re more motivated when there’s a human face to help us stay engaged while watching. 

Talking heads provide a multitude of nonverbal cues, including facial expressions, hand gestures, and accentuation. Business and brands are about people - meeting a need - a transaction between people.

Wider Reach

Talking head videos allow you to get lots of information across in a short space of time and people are more likely to watch an entire video than read a full page on a website. 

On top of that, most algorithms are now prioritising this type of video format on your audience’s social feed — meaning your content is more likely to be seen. 

The larger your audience is, the more diverse their respective learning styles will be. For example, while some people learn best with words, others respond better to visuals or audio. Because talking head videos incorporate all of the above, you cover all your bases.
