Frame your shot so that your face is CLEARLY and FRONTALLY VISIBLE in a medium close-up (the top of the frame should be slightly above your head and the bottom of the frame just below your shoulders). In other words: Your face should be your most visible part.  Please use a plain background!

Keep your camera as still as possible unless there’s a good reason to move it about.
Here is quick ref video on how to selftapehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYYd4EWZMFI
If you’re filming with a Smartphone be sure to hold it in landscape mode (horizontally, with the lens toward the side). Otherwise your video will either be very narrow or sideways when it’s viewed (even though you won’t notice this on your Smartphone since it automatically rotates the video).
