How to Choose a Presenter for Your Book Video

The most persuasive casting choice is the person your intended reader would naturally trust to introduce the book.

1

Start with the reader

Ask who your ideal reader would listen to for this subject or story. That may be different from someone who resembles the author.

2

Match tone before appearance

A warm garden setting may suit a reflective memoir. A clean office may fit business nonfiction. A comfortable library can work for literary fiction or history.

3

Use the presenter library first

The 24 ready-made presenters give you a dependable identity reference. Choosing one helps keep face, hair, age, and overall appearance consistent when the holding pose is generated.

4

Use custom casting for a specific idea

Open Create your own when the concept itself matters—for example, a retired Marine in his yard, a professor in a study, or a parent in a bright family room.

5

Judge the free preview

Before buying production, check the presenter's expression, the book's scale, cover orientation, clothing, background, and overall fit. If needed, change the casting brief before moving on.
