How to Make a Verge Bio Clip That Won’t Give People the Ick

So, you’re ready to dive into the world of dating with your Verge BioClip™, but how do you make it stand out without giving people the ick? 😬 Don’t worry! We’ve got the ultimate guide to help you create a BioClip™ that showcases your authentic self while avoiding all the common pitfalls. With a few simple tips, you’ll be on your way to making a fantastic first impression—one that’s sure to lead to genuine connections.

Get That Lighting Right (AKA No Horror Movie Vibes)

💡 DO: Record somewhere with natural light or a soft lamp that doesn’t make you look like a sleep-deprived raccoon.

🚨 DON’T: Film in total darkness like you’re summoning ghosts or under a flickering overhead light that makes you look like you’re confessing to a crime.‍

Quick Fix: Face a window. If the sun isn’t cooperating, a lamp works too—just don’t aim it directly at your face like you’re questioning your life choices.

Make Sure We Can Actually Hear You

🔊 DO: Speak up and keep your voice clear—like you’re confidently ordering food at Chipotle.

🚧 DON’T: Record from the bottom of the ocean (aka muffled audio), a wind tunnel, or while your roommate is screaming at their Xbox.

Quick Fix: Find a quiet space. If your dorm is chaos, record in your car (just not while driving—safety first, influencer second).

Don’t Look Like You Were Kidnapped

📸 DO: Position your phone at a normal angle. Head and shoulders visible. Eye contact with the camera. Basic human stuff.

💀 DON’T: Record from bed looking half-dead, hold your phone at nostril level, or tilt the camera so much we get motion sickness.

Quick Fix: Prop your phone up on something. No one wants to see up your nose unless they’re an ENT doctor.

Show Some Personality, This is Not a Robot Audition…

✨ DO: Be yourself! Smile, talk about things you like, make a joke, or throw in a fun fact (Did you know octopuses have three hearts? No? Well, now you do.)

🫠 DON’T: Read from a script like you’re in a hostage video or just say “Hey, I’m Alex” and stare at the camera until the clip ends.

Quick Fix: Imagine you’re introducing yourself to a cool new friend—not applying for a job at the DMV.

Say Something Interesting, But Don’t Trauma Dump

🎤 DO: Mention your hobbies, fav shows, or weird talents. Example: “Hi, I’m Sam, I make a mean grilled cheese, and I have a goldfish named Beyoncé.”

👀 DON’T: Overshare. “Hey, I’m Sam, my ex broke my heart in 2021, I haven’t recovered, and my last three therapists quit on me.”

Quick Fix: Keep it light. No one needs your entire life story in 15 seconds.

❌ Biggest Verge Bio Clip Fails (Avoid at All Costs)

🚫 Recording in a Messy Room: We don’t need to see your laundry pile or last night’s pizza box.

🚫 Using Filters That Turn You Into an Anime Character: We know what Snapchat does. Just be you.

🚫 Speaking in a Whisper: Are you trying to date or tell secrets? Speak up.

🚫 Staring at Yourself Instead of the Camera: Yes, you look good. Now look at us.

🚫 Making It Super Long: This isn’t a TED Talk. Keep it short and swipeable.

Creating a great BioClip™ is simple: just remember good lighting, clear audio, normal angles, and, most importantly, your real personality—NO BED VIDEOS! 😂 Now go forth and film a BioClip™ that’s so engaging, it’ll have potential matches lining up to chat. 💘 Ready to hit record? Don’t overthink it—just be your amazing self and let the magic happen!
