Feeling scared of being in front of the camera I'm about to share to avoid that feeling Rock
and welcome welcome to all you business owners you and specific who are an entrepreneur you
have an online business and you're looking for ways to transform it with social media
this is your go to channel today we're going to talk all about that where there's no reason
why the hide it of being in front of the camera trust me I felt it before I let me tell you
something the first time that we ever ever ever started recording video like a vacation
all videos for marketing I remember the first one I did was on The Voice Trend so how our
marketing strategies were going to change and I was sitting in front of the camera and
I could literally feel like my stomach and not the sweat on my hands on my palm they
could literally feel it and I thought oh my God would even look like on the other side
of the camera how many people are even going to see this everybody's going to be talking
about it and guess what let me show you exactly what happened the first video that you ever
do this is what I like to call your warm up these are the warm up games that you play
okay because I promised you your first YouTube video your first video on Instagram your first
video commercial your first webinar people aren't going to see it and that's the cold
hard truth okay you're not unless you already have an audience it's not like thousands and
millions of people are going to land on that video without you sending traffic to it okay
that's the good part of you put it up and these videos are for you to actually get into
that feeling of okay I recorded myself I added to it or somebody edited it for me I know
it's going to look like at the end I know it's not that bad as we think and then pressing
that upload button which is when I actually like her stomach just kind of like stops for
a minute you're going to get used to that okay so these first few videos are exactly
that okay so keep in mind that your first videos no one actually sees them unless you
want them to have course okay you say hey now I'm a Rockstar at this promoted send it
to all your friends and family spread it out across social media and the word will get
out okay people will start watching it if not don't do it and it's fine into something
internal for you and the little hack is that that I just mentioned absolutely terrifies
you and start one step ahead OK record a video of yourself with your phone okay one minute
clip saying how your day was one minute Clips do this for 3 Days OK and once you're done
recording it I want you to re-watch it this isn't going anywhere you're not posting this
on any platform you're not sending this to anybody this is for you okay this will help
you get more comfortable in front of the and trust me your first few times were a little
stiffer a little you know a little awkward it gets better with time okay don't worry
about it now next tip for you if you're starting off on YouTube you need need need to scroll
down and get your free guy because it's going to give you the exact checklist that you need
to set up your channel to know exactly what to do your links your names all that good
stuff it's all in there and of course I'm also linking to equipment that you should
be using no matter what your budget is everything is in there so go go go go get it now on to
the next one this next one is a game-changer you need to warm up warm up your lips so that
you can actually pronounce you can actually get the emotion across one thing that people
do not know is that speaking in front of a camera you have to speak ten times more dramatically
than what you would speak with somebody right there because the camera obviously kind of
like diminishes the Boise motion all that good stuff so I promise you if you were sitting
right here watch me record this you would probably be like why is she screaming why
is she doing all these hand gestures while it's because I have to get the emotion across
a camera then across a screen and on to what you're actually feeling on the other side
of the phone to computer the whatever it may be okay so warm up okay do a little mouth
stretches get ready warm up your hands warm up your body because obviously it's not just
about speaking but it's your facial gestures your hand gestures your body position that
goes into being and feeling more confident on camera now next tip for you this one is
a game-changer and it's something that I didn't realize I had to do so I'm going to take you
into my world every week on Thursdays I recorded 324 videos and I do one lie so sometimes it's
about 4 or 5 hours of camera it's a lot okay and no matter if you're doing one one minute
video to 20 minute videos whatever it maybe this is going to change your world okay get
ready for it because it's a big one are you ready drink water I know it sounds so basic
but it will change how you feel because obviously your confidence comes from the inside okay
from how you're feeling sitting in front of the camera obviously if I don't feel good
then I'm going to show that to the camera going to be a little like this going to be
like swallowing every time I talk because I have a dry throat if you drink a lot of
water prior to recording you will not feel this so it drink your water before recording
and I promise you it's going to change how you feel of course obviously while you're
also speaking your body is wasting a lot of energy and if you feel hydrated it just changes
your overall body sensation so drink your water I know it sounds basic but it's a game-changer
go try it and you'll see why I'm telling you to do it all right next one okay so this is
depending on your level there's different ways of doing it depending on who you are
ever be different there's no right way there is no beginners way there's no Advance way
it's just about you so even the best speakers of the world they sometimes read word for
word script because that's just their way of doing it they still get the message across
what I'm telling you to do is to have an outline of it okay so outline what you're going to
say because obviously if you go in front of the camera and you know what you're going
to say you feel a lot more confident I don't know if this is ever happened to you but back
when I was in college when professors were just randomly calling you you would be like
oh my God what like what are they even saying was I even paying attention and I prepared
even know about this topic now compare that to when you had a presentation that you already
knew everything about you practice but you knew all the questions that they can ask you
you automatically got up in front of that class feeling a lot more confident that's
exactly what you have to do with your videos okay prepare an outline and if you want if
you're more of a script kind of person prepare escrip personally would I do is I outline
with bullet points on what I want to talk about I've also tried script one but I just
realized that looking and trying to read exactly what I wrote just wasn't my type because I
I like talking like feeling in I like telling you stories and if I write it word for word
it just wouldn't come out as naturally but it's up to you there's no right and there's
no wrong way like I mentioned before so do it however you prefer try both and see which
one works for you which video looks more natural which one looks more appealing and then you
can see which one you'll stick to but start off by knowing what I'm going to talk about
having an outline of how the video is going to go alright next one this one is cute okay
be gerbil in front of the camera if you know that freezer will meet I get cold super super
easily so I know that when I'm filming I need to turn the air off it's super simple but
that's how I feel comfortable if I'm cold but I'm kind of going to be like filming like
this like trying to keep myself warm instead of just feeling comfortable with whatever
I you know with my environment when I'm wearing what I'm doing so I make sure not only that
my environment is comfortable my clothing is comfortable my setting is comfortable and
that makes me have a lot more confidence when I'm recording a video if you're going on to
like a more serious video scenario practice at home where you can actually control your
setting or you can feel comfortable and then this will help you for whenever you're actually
going to have to record videos in public okay because obviously the difference in air if
you're in public you can't really control that many outside factors that you can always
control your internal doctor so before you do that start at home practice at home practice
for you feel comfortable if that's on your bed on your couch on your desk whatever you
feel comfortable with okay there's no right or wrong way of doing a video now next one
is this it is for everybody this trip is for any business owner even if you're not you
feel like closing the door on video which I really think that you shouldn't be this
is for honestly everyone okay this little tip is something that you can find Worldwide
and I've honestly I've been to a couple and I loved and I think these are skills basically
that everybody needs okay everybody needs to learn how to talk and that's not only talking
on camera but talking in public and talking to other people so this little hack is to
find a Toastmasters Club near you what is Toastmasters it's a nonprofit I think not
sure but it's a club that is found everywhere so it's an international thing these people
just get together and practice or public speaking everybody's on a different path everybody
does something different everybody has different goals but used by doing your introduction
you also you go around the room and you guys have table topics you have to be able to answer
and speak for 1 minute 1 or 2 minutes on the spot so just really really good for you to
get accustomed to speaking to know exactly how to talk without using those filler words
like so you know those things that you know you know is also one bill are words that we
use when we don't know how to continue this sentence that's exactly what you have to do
and you have to learn an honest leave something that everybody needs to learn no matter if
you're already super experience because I think you can always become better and improve
yourself so that is the other tip that I have for you guys find a Toastmasters Club near
you they are found globally so I promised you wherever you are in the world there's
probably one or multiple clubs that you can join try it out and let me know how it goes
end to jump into the next one talking about what you know how many times do we Pretenders
sit in front of the camera or want to talk about something that we're not experts had
okay not saying that you have to be an expert expert expert talk about a topic that you
know the same exact thing that I mention from that story when I was in class and Professor
would calling you and you kind of just weren't prepared as in comparison to when you had
your topic already planned your project outline is completely different if you ask me about
marketing if you ask me about social media to ask me about YouTube rather than if you
ask me about the latest baseball game I honestly have no idea I don't follow baseball so I
have I wouldn't even know where to start okay so you feel a lot more confident when you
know what you're talkin about and if it's a topic you don't know a lot about research
my friends find out some information on a 1-minute Google search will help you out I
promise you okay try it out really the way that you feel more comfortable and more confident
is by knowing what you're talkin about pretty simple adamant that we're going to jump into
a more practical aspects of this whole confidence I promise you that my video would look completely
different if I didn't have the right equipment so what do I mean by equipment no matter what
your budget is if you have a bright light okay or if you place your video in front of
a window and you're getting that natural sunlight you will look a lot more confident rather
than in your in a dark room if you aren't getting that proper lighting to your face
okay so have the right equipment lighting then we go on to audio it's my audio sounds
super bad if I sound super far away from my microphone I don't sound as confident it's
the same exact thing as when somebody stands up and they talk with a normal voice normal
to a loud voice you obviously noticed that they don't feel
so confident when they are talking self how do we portray this across a video we have
the right equipment if you're looking for equipment depending on your budget for looking
for equipment to film videos to start on YouTube it's all inside the guide okay so I'll link
it down below in the description or if you just want to recommend also put that in the
description for you so basically you have homework you're going to either if you are
new to this whole being on camera thing you're going I think you're going to start by recording
videos for you privately if you're a little more advanced you saying I'm going to go straight
to it then grab your camera record feel that knot in your stomach and overcometh upload
that video and see how it goes from there okay another homework that you have is to
scroll down get the Guide inside the guide you'll find all the equipment that you'll
need in order to have your best set up no matter if you're using your phone if you want
to invest in a camera or if you want really professional gear it's all in there for all
levels and the guide will also walk you through exactly what you need on your channel in order
for it to be optimized okay why does this place such a big factor into what we're talking
about because obviously when you have a channel that demonstrates that you're confident because
you know your channel name you know what the channel cover needs to be you know what your
descriptions your about knees your title thumbnails all that good stuff you have all that set
I promised your video will look feel and sound a lot more confident okay so it's like a whole
package so you can get that package down below by scrolling and of course if you haven't
