Confidence On Camera – Confidence Tip No.1
Was LIVE 3rd Jan 2022
I’m leveraging my eleven years of expertise working in the media industry with business people to provide other business people with top suggestions on how to look strong, professional, and incredibly confident when giving talks in front of their cameras. Looking confident and feeling confident is the first step to accomplishing more and winning more online.
① Knowing as much as you can about your subject can give you confidence and calm your anxiety
Many mental and physical barriers will try to stop you from getting in front of your camera, either to do a live video or a pre-recorded video. There are also many things you have to think about and prepare for ahead of your talk. Not knowing enough about your subject can become an unsurpassable mental hurdle. So ensure that you know enough to convince yourself that you are expert enough about the topic. You will need to know what you’re going to say and know it well, especially if you want to boost your self-confidence. You’ll almost certainly review the video, and if you don’t like how you presented your views, it will undermine your confidence moving forward.
② A definitive confidence on camera guide is a few clicks away
As I was saying, you must know your topic well and know it well enough that you can virtually have fun with it. This is the key to becoming confident on camera. If the idea of getting in front of a camera is so stressful that you gawk at the idea of it being fun, then you are in the right place.
Ok let’s forget about having fun, for now, there are many other things you have to master first before you can play with your performance. Things like mastering your breathing, getting yourself into a heroic state, hydrating well and feeling good about yourself, producing quality video and more. I am creating a definitive guide on how to gain supreme confidence in front of your camera. Inside this guide will be all the points mentioned here and more. Ensure you are following me on Facebook for the latest about this.
③ Confidence on Camera Tip No.1
Today’s confidence on camera tip is about writing a blog in preparation for the topic you are going to speak about. Actually, scratch that, not writing a blog, but speaking it out to a dictaphone or something that can interpret your speech and turn it into text. This is what I am doing right now. I am speaking into my Samsung S10+ using an application called Evernote, this works well enough for me.
④ Write a blog, then speak about it
After that, all you have to do is go over what you’ve said, correct it, and make bullet points out of it. Speaking your blog out loud prepares you for your live or pre-recorded video. You’ll be better prepared if you record your video as soon as possible after reading it through.
Speaking your blog out loud will force you to think about it more. When you record your video, the memory of your practice will help your talk feel less alien and more familiar. Having it in a written form that mimics the way you speak will help you deliver a more natural talk. This will reduce your anxiety and help you to look more confident and feel more relaxed. It may even help you to relax and smile, which coincidently is another tip for another blog post in this series.
You also have the bonus of having it down in digital format. Being able to read it, again and again, will enable you to deliver that talk with ease and eventually to have fun with it. Not only this, but you will have an excellent blog to send people to after you have made your recording.
You can also build your email list from your blog as I am about to do now.
