Do videos where I talk directly to the camera perform better than voiceovers?

There’s no definitive answer—both can work. Generally, showing your face on camera tends to perform better because it creates a personal connection with viewers. However, some accounts with millions of views and followers only use voiceovers. The key is testing what your specific audience responds to. Try both formats and see what generates better engagement. Your audience will tell you what they prefer through their viewing behavior, so don’t assume one method is universally better without testing it yourself.
