First, I take a deep breath, take some shots for practice and testing the best camera angles, learn from those shots and make the real shots, watch it, do it again, and again, and again.

Nice tips and perfect timing. Any tips on facial transplant? Lol. I finally JUST filmed my very first video showing my face, I have to edit it of course and hopefully upload it, we'll see. It's also a bit harder for me not being a native english speaker and just using a tablet to film, but you know what? I think I'll get it out there. Thank you!!

I feel like an idiot, but hopefully following your tips I’ll improve. I do find after 30 secs of talking it gets natural. My biggest funny moment is in one of my videos I change accent completely. Otherwise great video

I wear earplugs, it makes a huge difference. I have no idea why, some strange psychological factors I guess.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT USING A TEXT TO SPEECH THING FOR MY TUTORIALS, BUT I DECIDED AGAINST IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO CONNECT MORE WITH MY AUDIENCE.👍

Our tip: finish sentences. So many times, we start a thought and interrupt ourselves or trail off or want to start a new take immediately. Then later when we are editing, we discover that the thought was complete if only we just ended the sentence and smiled! So my tip is always to finish the thought before starting a new take. You'll often recover, and you won't feel the little stumbles so much. -E

Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - Albert Einstein Mastery - Practice, practice and practice .Mastery is about doing same thing over and over, while keep becoming better at it. - O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me (you're the first one I heard say this.) Sanity is pursuing mastery while checking one's results to insure one has not fallen into the quagmire of insanity. - Scott Tovey (I just thought of this) What a reality check! There is a fine line between mastery and insanity.

Yes 💯, 6 months back i started my channel without thinking about camera,audio,edit and what i say Because STARTING is more important than that and after that we can invest in equipments

1: Think about one person when speaking 2: use bullets. Key word 3: be in the right mood. Happy and relax 4: Speak about your cobtent with someone. Practice to speak about your content 5: Get cocktail if you wish. Thanks for the content

Thank you for this video. I tried my first vlog the other day and I hated it when it was done. It didn't even look/act like me. I need to relax and be myself. These tips helped me a lot.

My tip....just do it! For years I have avoided cameras. When I made my first video tutorial (just one month ago) I hid behind the camera all the time and wrote narration for it. I couldn’t even cope with hearing my voice. I became increasingly aware that I would have much better success and more rapport with the viewers if they could actually see me so one day I gave myself a good talking to, stopped making excuses and made a short video IN FRONT of the camera. It was hard, it was scary but I did it, I didn’t edit or retake and I uploaded it straight away. I got so much support I was shocked. I felt liberated and had so much more confidence- instantly! Now I am in my videos every time and although I’m still a bit awkward I can see the improvement in every single video. Sorry to waffle! So again, my tip is, stop making excuses and dive right in. Thank you for your tips, I’m going to try the photograph one.

I've ALWAYS had the biggest struggle with self confidence. Thank you so much for this vid!

Same! but I actually think that KZread helps a lot with that. you know like using it to grow out of the issue :)

@OliviaG

you can do it! If you have any questions maybe I can help.

1. Meditation 2. Know the point (content) 3. Question if your more comfortable with people or without people 4. Get straight to the point 5. Practice I wish everyone success for 2021, i just started my KZread channel 3 days ago so i am not an expert but these should help.

I've started to make more videos on my reselling business and have really noticed a difference from the videos I am filming now, compared to the videos I filmed a few months ago. Act as if you're talking to one person and it becomes really easy and getting in the right mood. Great tips from Chalene Johnson!

I originally started doing KZread to show my kids what I was up to on my time off when I was working away. I have always tried to be relaxed by thinking no-one will probably ever see this video, so if it is not perfect that is ok.! This is a lot easier to implement when I am doing a travel or #adventurechallenge type video, but when I am going face to camera, that's when trying to make it perfect seems more important and I put more stress on myself when I stuff up. I am trying to only do 3 takes of a passage or section in the latter cases, otherwise it can feel forced. Thx heaps for the tips btw. I will def try them out.

Thanks for the tips! Nice seeing women on your channel. I feel more confident now.

I think I could listen to Chalene talk all day long. Loved the advice she had to give. I just love getting dolled up before I do my videos. So that really helps me to gain my confidence before I shoot a video. Thank for this video. 👍

I feel blessed to have stumbled upon Think Media. You're doing great work, much appreciated from all of us small channels.

Hat And Beard yes in deed!

I was in Home Depot this evening prior to going live and did not realize I used Tip #4 until I got home and watched this video, but I walked around the Home Depot Memorial Day Sales I was about to cover on my live KZread video, and was practicing everything i was going to say. The employees probably thought I was some nut case talking to myself. LOL!

This video is for me. That is why I have started showing my face on my KZread Channel. The best way to build confidence is to show your face. Thanks Sean

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Sean, thank you for another great video. Your video really help me to be more confident on camera and the set up. Thanks so much.

5 tips to confident on Cameras:- 1. Think about one person 2. Use bullet 3. Get in the right mood 4. Take it over before pressing record 5. Do something to relax.

They're great tips!

Talk to the camera like you’re having a casual conversation with your friend. You aren’t live (unless you’re live-streaming) when you’re recording so no one is watching you in that moment. You or your editor can cut out your mistakes or unnecessary sentences. Focus on your content and the points you want to make. If you’re worried or nervous then you’re not focusing on your content and your area of expertise. Take a deep breath, hold it, exhale. And begin. You got this 🎉

Think about the one person Be in the right mood Practice your content with someone else. These are such great tips. I also use the HONEST Framework I've created to help me structure my videos. I draw it out on a A3 paper and place it on the wall behind my camera. This keeps me organised and structured on what I'm saying. I get more confidence using this. 😊

So glad to hear that using a script is not essential, it's been a killer for me I can never get the cadence right and feel like Ron Burgundy. And I totally know my subject so I know I am not winging it. Thanks for such a great video.

Yes, but for me the issue is that I don't memorize so I look back and forth between the camera and the words. They arent far apart but I notice the slight deviance from the camera.

@@FreedomThinks That's okay, you're trying and it's part of the process. Eventually it will change and with time you will need it less and less :)

We are not confident sometimes because we lack of knowledge. Thus, it is best to browse and have bank of knowledge. Thanks for sharing these tips, God Bless!

You ladies are so inspiring. Thank you.

You are sooo great Sean! I love your videos!!

Love Chalene Johnson! Ultimate boss mom! I needed this advice so badly. She seems so down to earth on video and Instagram. Been a long time follower.

This was great! I think being yourself and not caring what other ppl think.. all it takes is one person to impact!

This is why I subscribe and turn on notification to this (and other channels); the fact that you share tips on not only the deep techie stuff but also basic info on how to present self. I am improving on my videos but initially I would get heart palpitations whenever I thought of being infront of a camera. As a result, I would sweat, my voice would shake so bad I would barely recognize myself, and as much as I would have prepared my content perfectly, my body (and mind) would fail me. I am still a long way off being super confident infront of a camera (especially in public) but when alone I feel a bit better. I will try these tips over and over again until I am on good with the camera

Very helpful. Thank you. Love the idea of picturing one person and sharing content with them.

I really like the idea/tip to speak to one person you care about when you speak to the camera. Getting the right mood and talking it out loud a few times first are good tips as well.

I push through the fear and just do it. After I get started I relax.

Tip 4 was a new one for me. Start talking about my subject before I record or do a few takes to help relax into it and be more myself, thanks Heather and Chalene

Just what I was looking for! Thanks!

Thanks man, you help a lot ❤️

Not to say guys don’t have trouble with being self conscious about their physicality as well, but the bit about ladies having a harder time with that feels soooo accurate. I’ve seen it, and lived it. From a take being good but there being stray strands of hair, slightly smudged eyeliner or imperfect brows, we can be so hard on ourselves and pick every little thing apart. Love that Chalene says she doesn’t even watch herself back so she can just keep moving forward. Great video and tips!

I just roll with it... I try so hard to not sound scripted... but when you keep trying to deliver your line... especially the intros... it can really sound that way. When I do recipes and am not looking right at the camera ... I open up and the real me shines through... thanks so much for the tips!!!!!

Thanks! I will start to practice.

This is great! I like to smile wide right before every take. I feel confident, more comfortable, and I feel happier. This is great for my new channel. Trying to work myself up to something great.

So insightful... Thanks a lot

Great tips, thanks for sharing. Really working on this!

And it's so true it's harder for women we are so hard on ourselves and critical of others. Thank you for the tips they are very helpful for sure. Now it's time to press record!

I love the picture tip! I’m going to try that 💓

Another brilliant video. Super-helpful for a youtube beginner like me it has given me the confidence to try going off-script... so that's what I'm about to try out. Many thanks for this great content!

This is gold

Wow, super useful information guys! you are my heroes!

Thank you!

I am a newbie just started my Chanel in Urdu Hindi language. This is what I was looking for “How to be confident on Camera”. Sean you are great mind reader my brother. You are a Rock Star ⭐️.

i've just found this video, suggested from a previous video i watched! and i have to admit, i have major confidence issues, and do worry about how i come across, how i sound, how i look. yeah i understand not all men are like that, but some of us are. it is so exhausting sometimes being in my head! i love this video, i felt so supported. much appreciated. :)

Priceless priceless priceless! Thanks so much for doing this endlessly helpful video! For those of us who are endeavoring, it changes everything. Cheers! Thanks again!

I feel super awkward talking to the camera but this definitely helped! Thanks again @Think Media I can't wait to try this out!!

Makes sense and solid advice for us newbies! 👍🏼👍🏼 Thx for sharing!

Thank You ❤️❤️❤️

This was a great video! Seeing peoples supportive comments is what has allowed me to keep turning that record button on even though they are definitely imperfect!

I find that if I've gotten enough sleep and had some tea or coffee before I'm in a much better and happier mood for a video and the video comes out a lot better than if I had been tired!

Thank You so much dear.....
