George, I think you answered your own question. Yes, many of the How To videos are a bit dry but it is the information that is being conveyed that most everyone is looking for. Therefore, don't make the video a "stand up" routine. Just present the information is a clear and succinct fashion.
The close up camera work, lighting and steady camera work are far more important to me.
