Visit the Poetry Out Loud website for
tips, complete rules, and poems to choose from.

Tips to Make Recording Easy!

• Stand in front of a neutral background and avoid wearing clothing in similar colors to the background.
• Do not place light sources behind you to avoid being backlit.
• Students may look directly into the camera, at a fixed spot, or at an imagined audience.
• Make sure you are the only visible and audible person in the video.
• Use a microphone, if possible. If the microphone is on the camera, position the camera close to the
performer.
• Start recording a few seconds before the recitation and stop a few seconds after the end.
• For video submission contests, check with the contest organizer if there are file size limits to
videos and if there is a preferred naming convention to save your videos.
• Examples of student filmed POL recitations can be found on the POL YouTube page.
