5 Tips to build camera confidence.

So here are 5 Tips you can implement today, to speed up and finally discover the confidence to record engaging content for your videos.

Tip #1 - Practice Makes Perfect 💪🏼

The only way to discover how to optimize how you look and sound in front of a camera is to just PRESS RECORD. It’s just like working out in the gym. The more you lift a certain weight, the easier it becomes because your muscles have grown to make that weight feel lighter. So put in those reps!

Tip #2 - Realise That Everyone Goes Through This 💯

Understand that everybody goes through this discomfort when they first start recording themselves. Even the most confident creators we watch on a daily basis have gone through this feeling. So just know you’re not alone, and that you will get through this phase as a video creator!

Tip #3 - Move Your LCD Screen Behind the Camera 📷

It’s almost second nature as a new creator to want to face your lcd screen on your camera towards you. So you can see yourself at all times. This is a big distraction and can actually deter viewers away from your content. Because no viewer wants to watch a video where the creator is constantly looking at themselves on the viewfinder.

Tip #4 - Imagine That You’re Talking To a Friend 😊

Finding it hard to speak to a camera? Change the perspective on who you’re recording this video for. Imagine that you’ve recorded footage to be sent to a friend. When you shift your perspective to this, you’ll almost forget you’re talking to a camera. It’ll feel like an engaging conversation with someone familiar!

Tip #5 - Just Be Yourself 👍

Anyone who has watched great content on YouTube understands how genuine and authentic the creator is in their videos. That’s because these YouTubers understand that being themselves is the best way to create engaging, and entertaining content! Don’t know how to bring that entertaining side out of you? Just think about how you act in your most energetic state around family and friends, and mimic that personality!

Now start recording with these tips in mind!
