Undebate Self Service Portal- Web portal where election administrators of democratically run organizations create undebates for their candidates and voters
When a candidate first starts to record, this video welcomes them, explains how this works, and records their placeholder video, before the moderator leads the Q&A process.
Here is a basic script, but we are looking for a recording that has energy and enthusiasm so subtle changes based on personality may be helpful, but all the points need to come across clearly.

Hi, I’m __ a volunteer with EnCiv's Undebate project. Congratulations on being invited to this Undebate.
This is a new tool for automated online video interviewing so I am here to give you a short introduction before your moderator begins the interview.
To begin, just relax. There are lots of opportunities to review and re-record what you say before it is posted.
To the left of me, you will see your video window. When it's your turn to speak your window will move into this position, and recording will begin. But you can hit the redo button, and start over, as many times as you like.
Below are the control buttons. If you have heard this all before, you can hit the next speaker button and move to the next step.
After you finish speaking, hit the finished speaking button, or the spacebar. I suggest you go ahead and move your mouse or finger into position now.
While you are speaking, you will also see a countdown timer. When it reaches 0 you automatically finish speaking.
After speaking, you will hear the next speaker, but you can hit the previous speaker button and review what you have just recorded. And again you can hit the redo button to rerecord it.
After you are done with the interview, you will have an additional option to review the whole thing. And you will be able to redo any parts that you need to.
After that, you can create an account, and post your video.
So relax. You can review it as many times as you want, redo any part, and use the next speaker button to skip over the parts that you don’t need to hear again.
Finally, before the moderator begins this interview, your first task is to look into the camera with interest for 15 seconds. Take a moment now and make sure you head and shoulders are fully visible in the window. And make sure there is plenty of light. We will use this as your placeholder video that will be shown when you are not speaking. Now look into the camera with interest.
