Some of you may not like your skin or your voice or your waistline \u2013 so that becomes an excuse for many not to press record. But, rather than focus on yourself, focus on who you serve. If you provide valuable, interesting content that is useful to your audience then they\u2019ll keep coming back for more regardless of what you look like.<\/p>\n
Be Authentic\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAn audience can recognize immediately when someone is being fake on camera. They can be overacting or under preforming. Authenticity creates trust and establishes credibility. It all starts by observing yourself: What do you care about? Who are you? When do you feel most comfortable? In order to be influential and impactful, it\u2019s important to be present. Presence allows your passion and expertise for the topic to shine through. Become self-aware to recognize when you are faking it or feeling uncomfortable, this helps you understand why you are feeling that way, and then initiate steps to draw upon your authentic self.<\/p>\n
Who Are You Talking To?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nWhen creating videos<\/a> it\u2019s important to think about your audience to build relationship, intimacy, and collaboration with them. Use their lingo. Figure out their ambitions and problems to help define the solution. This allows you to determine the content and direct the conversation to serve your audience. Think about all the people you can help, once your message is out, this helps many speak up.
\nMaybe starring into the black hole \u201ccamera lens\u201d makes you tense up and freeze, rethink the situation \u2013 think of a person you love to talk to then place a picture of that person next to the camera and have a conversation.<\/p>\nRethink Your Audience<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\nSpeaking with an audience is different from engaging in conversation. Audiences listen, and respond, differently. I\u2019ll coach you to be relaxed in front of passive, blank faces. We\u2019ll coach you to speak from an empowered stance; to assume your audience is supporting you.<\/p>\n
Consistency = Confidence<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s simple, do a new video every day, or at least several times a week until you feel comfortable talking to the camera. It may seem awkward sharing a story or tutorial on video with a bright light in your face and no one immediately responding to what you\u2019re saying. So practice! The more videos you do (whether you share them or not) the more confident you\u2019ll feel with the process.
\nBelieve it or not, I used to be scared to speak on camera during live shots, when I was a TV News Reporter. I would fumble over my words, try to read my script word for word on my pad and would talk softly without animation for fear people around me would hear me. Over time, my live shots on TV improved and even my live streams today benefit from these tricks.
