How to sound confident on a video call
Short answer
Raise your camera to eye height. Look into the lens when you speak and at faces when you listen. Compensate for the pipe by adding voice energy on purpose, using more pitch range first, then bring gestures into frame, keeping your face natural. Start sentences from your hum pitch with breath already moving. Keep air behind the last word, and slow or pause on the words that matter. Check picture and sound in separate passes.
