@LuvmyLab I suppose any of the hosts, if watched often enough, do things to annoy people. I watched a lot of David selling scrapbook items many many years ago with Lisa Bearnson. It was so annoying when he would play peek-a-boo with the audience. I do admit, I scrapbooked a lot in those days so watched every scrapbook show I could.

 

@qualitygal I think it's more he's making sure the camera is picking up a more flattering shot of himself. I'm not knocking him, I think we would all do the same. But, I do find some hosts continually looking at themselves in the monitor more than other hosts.

I used to be LuvMyLab,  What is interesting about this is that I didn't write it!  I never watch David Vevable.

YES !!

I think You’re Right!! @qualitygal 🤗


David even mentions this during his presentations. He asks them to come in close and he makes sure they are.



NOW I wish some of the camera people would be consistent and do that with items the other hosts are selling too.



It drives me cRAZy when Amy or the other hosts keep pointing to the jewelry they’re presenting or wearing and the camera doesn’t come in close enough 😜



They don’t dare do that with David though. 😂

He's been on camera for a hundred years and should now better.  The whole concept of selling on TV is to engage the audience not watch yourself in the monitor. Act like you're talking face to face.  Graver is by far the worst!

Why does Kim G. And Shawn have to put their face right up to the camera?

You've gotten some really good viable answers. What do you think?

I thought he was reading his information blue card.

David looks in the camera all the time. Very petty question.

@LuvmyLab   Haven't Noticed. I'm concentrating on the Item.

BUT Several times I HAVE seen David Walk right up to the camera so his face is FILLING the shot to give his personal testamonial about the product being shown.
