First
and foremost, I must reiterate: All Webcam and Telephone lesson
payments must be received 48 hours prior to scheduled time and date.
In all honesty, the higher priced the webcam, the better image you will
have! You must also bear in mind that how old and what type of computer
you have will play an important part as well. Again, I use Skype or ooVoo because they are the most
reliable
free services out right now. It also works with both PC and Mac
operating systems.
Creating a user Name
When creating a Skype or ooVoo user
name,
please use something that I recognize! You can have as many Skype or
ooVoo accounts that you want, so save your zany user names for your
friends,
and use one that I will recognize for your lessons. I
will not approve someone that I do not recognize! If it is odd, PLEASE
email what it is prior to the lesson or I will not approve you! All of that information that you will
need to contact me will be provided to you on the thank you page after
your purchase. REMEMBER to
write it down or print out the page!
