What's a good technique for creating reaction-style videos where I respond to audio?

Record your audio or voiceover first, then play it back to yourself while recording the video of your reactions. This way you know exactly when to react and what expressions to make at each point in the audio. It makes the filming process much smoother and ensures your reactions are properly timed and natural-looking. You can then bring both elements together in your editing app and sync them up.
