Should I read from a script when creating video content for my reels?

Avoid obviously reading from a script on camera. While it’s fine to have detailed descriptions in your caption, when you’re speaking in the video itself, keep it shorter and more natural. Read your script a few times to know approximately what you need to say, then speak more conversationally to the camera. Viewers can tell when you’re reading, and it loses the authentic, engaging energy. Keep the scripted details in your written description and let your on-camera presence be relaxed and genuine.
