🎬 Talking Head Sample – Expat Tax Thailand
Project Type: Free Sample / Portfolio Showcase
My Role: Editing and improving pacing of long-form YouTube content
🔍 Project Overview
This project was a free sample created for the YouTube channel Expat Tax Thailand. I selected a 2-minute fragment from the video "Buying Property in Thailand: What Foreigners Need to Know" and improved it to demonstrate stronger pacing, clarity, and audience retention.
The footage features a video conversation between the channel host and a real estate expert, presented in a long-form horizontal talking-head format. The goal was to make the segment more dynamic and engaging while preserving the original structure and captions from the source video.
