Awkward To Confident On Camera In 30 Days - Here’s How

The Camera Confidence course I got: bit.ly/3YCdFPI
In this video, I’m going over how I got more confident on camera by recording myself for 30 days straight. I’ve been wanting to make videos like these for a while now, but never found myself talking action on my dreams. I realized that when it comes to speaking in front of a camera, I had very low confidence.
I solved this by making small recordings of myself while talking, telling a story or explaining something during the 30 day challenge.
Near the end of the 30 days, I was no perfect speaker at all, however I did see a ton of improvement. I decided to buy the Camera Confidence course by Ali Abdaal (‪@aliabdaal‬) to enhance my speaking skills even further. I learned techniques such as Imitate to Enhance, Always use your hands, Speak through a smile & Avoid British Airways mode.
Hope you enjoyed this video, and I’ll make sure to increase my value output incrementally with each upload. Thanks for watching!

Man watching the clips of you recording yourself in the beginning and seeing you make minor mistakes makes me realize I have wasted SO MUCH time being worried about the same and really need to keep recording myself to get over the fear and insecurity of recording myself. Thanks for sharing this - going to record myself right now.

[@fix206]

Lots of great points you made in your video. I got over 50K subs on my channel and I still struggle through every one of my videos, so I end up doing a bunch of voice overs to fill the dead space where I struggled to put together a coherent sentence while recording my footage...

[@bullwaves6681]

Its funny how so many people have the same problems/

[@darrenwilliamsvalen]

Dope video bro! Value & Entertainment is 🔥Keep up the consistency!

[@rakidedigama]

As a beginner youtube, can totally relate to this! You've come a long way already and thanks for sharing!

[@ProdByJamieV]

Nice background beat!!💨💨

[@danielshaffer3454]

Great video. I was doing some recording today and felt super awkward. I liked the advice of getting 1% better every time and staying consistent. Thank you!

[@jasonves]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching man!

[@TaeglicheNarzisst]

You nailed it. Thank you so much!

[@leapnlarry]

I love the learning clips, so funny. There is another guy that has a 30 day talking challenge on youtube. I have watched some of your older videos and some of your recent ones, you have improved but speed it up. JMO, buy the way what with the pear symbol on your computer and shirt. Making fun of apple? Larry

[@marcusecom]

im starting an youtube channel and im struggling a lot with this. thanks for the inspiration!

[@jasonves]

Appreciate you bro!

[@Stair19]

Thanks for making this video brother! I am very inspired by watching it, and hope to work on my own video presence going forward…

[@BeardedBallisticsBB]

This was actually really helpful I appreciate the fact you showed your 1st few videos bc I did the same shit 😂

[@winfatchan]

Thanks for inspiring me dude! I am litteraly in that situation as i am not an english speaker trying to make some freaking youtube video in a funny accent!

[@syvia3186]

Amazing tips. Thank you!

[@OliverKozakGo]

This was both wise and funny. Well made. I will try out your advice, it makes complete sense. I subscribed! 🙂

[@petraeunjoo]

Are you Dutch? You have a Dutch accent. My problem is that I don't know in which language I will make my channel. I live in France so it's should be logic to speak in French. Or in English as that is world wide language. Or in Dutch, which is my first language.

[@jasonves]

Yeah :) English for me because it has the most reach

[@jianlyu700]

Awesome! I’m trying 14 days challenge. I’m experiencing same thing. Your video makes me feel I’m not alone.

[@dynamixsystems]

I have a feeling that you're going to rock with millions of subscribers!

[@jasonves]

This made my day! Thank you so much!!

[@cristinap111]

It’s Maaayy 😂😂😂 I can relate to everything you say

[@AgentMoray]

Awesome. That was very useful and inspirational

[@jasonves]

Thank you so much! Glad the video helped

[@wkt2506]

I find your naturalness a lot more on this video than the Ali Abdaal yt course one i just watched before - which is much kore engaging to me. Even though that other video has better video quality, production and art, I would prefer to watch more videos like this where I feel you are showing more of yourself as a person. Also btw your accent sounds cool and the fact your intonation is more on one level just gives more emphasis and added curiousity when you *do* raise or lower your tone. I thought you might find that useful to know. Best wishes.

[@RayleneBrowne]

.... not sure you have enough sneakers 😅

[@ks.trananhduc]

Your videos are great! Please continue making videos.

[@iamdurmic]

Great video. I did a 30 day challenge on recording myself, because I listened to a speech called The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale and in the speech he has a 30 day challenge so I just used the idea and put myself to a 30 day challenge to record myself. It worked for me, and I keep doing it. I try to record myself everyday, it's helped a lot. The tips in this video help a lot also. Thanks

[@Jaythetruckerr]

Definitely something that I’m currently working on

[@jasonves]

@@Jaythetruckerr you got this

[@theoutsiderdev]

Nice start! I'm following your journey :)

[@jasonves]

Appreciate that 🙏🏾

[@ebayposhman]

Great advice!

[@kiloskywalker]

I’ll give it try because I have the creative but the words don’t much 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

[@jasonves]

Definitely worth trying!! Scripting also helped me a ton

[@ailearners]

do you use any plugin for editing?

[@hungmasculine]

Thanks and God bless you.

[@panano.p]

This is actually valuable, I am greatful that I found this video

[@jasonves]

Thank u 🙏

[@rewindpoliticsmarathi8036]

Very nice tx bro

[@CuriousCrib]

Great job man. Got a small channel here as well. Love that Ali clap. 👏

[@trudygardner6663]

You've got a great voice, love that accent, definitely an unfair advantage! Totally agree about the story telling, this is something I've been trying to work on :)

[@jasonves]

Thank you so much!

[@Melker07]

I will definitely try the 30 day method👍

[@huhuhu_design]

You looks so real, not fake. Congratulations!!

[@ProdByJamieV]

💥💥💥

[@ameseseboateng6592]

How come you made this video right after "graduation" 😂 . High Energy

[@jasonves]

Haha what do you mean after graduation?

[@theperrydasilva]

I love your honesty and advice Jason!

[@h.t.8812]

Great video! Thank you for sharing! I have a few "blocks" to film myself, which are, my hair has to be straightened, which takes like 30min and is hard to do when the weather is hot... Also I think I have to put on makeup and then take it off after, which is also 30min... I need to put on nice clothes... And worst of all, I need to be home alone, which only happens a couple times a week, because it's veryyyy awkward for my family to see me dressed up and talking to a camera, and I really don't like that feeling... Has anyone gone through similar blocks? I want to move out but idk how long that'll take

[@jasonves]

Please take my 1 tip: remove ALL those barriers. I've been in this exact position where I only wanted to record after getting a haircut; only when it's daylight etc... Fast forward to now, I just don't care as much as I realized it's the value you provide that truly counts; not the way you look on camera. Of course you want to be presentable BUT dont make it hinder you from recording videos. Speaking from experience, it will only set you back & take you longer. As for your family situation; I'd just tell them you're going to have a Zoom meeting or online presentation for something. There's no way they'll figure out you're recording yourself for youtube 😂

[@h.t.8812]

@@jasonves Wow thank you so much Jason!! It's pretty much what you said, I'm glad you can relate lol, I don't think I've seen anyone talking about this... Thank you for the tip, I also want to try the 30 days thing, so I believe I should make it important to record a video even when I don't think I look good or whatever barrier I create. And the family idea makes a lot of sense!! Haha, I might've kind of thought about this before, but it was hard to bring myself to do it with all those barriers... But with you saying it, I def want to try. Thank you!

[@davidadeyemo6820]

I'll be back here in a month to give you feedback!

[@jasonves]

That’s what I love to hear; someone who immediately takes action! Rooting for you man, excited to hear your progress 1 month from now 🙏🏾

[@rakibuz-zaman]

Brother I needed a step by step to practice and you have provided this 👊🏽

[@jasonves]

Of course man, good luck!!

[@apretzel]

Great video! I can relate with all of what you said. Keep up with your grind!

[@jasonves]

Happy to hear that!! Thanks a lot mate🙏🏾

[@alfietta]

I can literally feel everything you're talking about; I'm exactly where you are (or were, I suppose). And, I gotta tell ya, you're hilarious (and NOT speaking through a smile actually helps with this) 🤣🤣🤣

[@1step.progress]

Awesome advice! I hope to follow in your footsteps. Keep up the good work 💪

[@jasonves]

Thanks a lot!!

[@GiuliaonGasoline]

Thanks Jason! I’ll definitely do that as well in the next 30 days. I’ve also got the problem you mentioned with my accent and your first recordings seemed exactly like mine. So I hope I can also get where you are now!

[@semplybalanced3210]

Your accent is gorgeous btw !!

[@jasonves]

Appreciate that :) Thank u so much🫶🏾

[@KarinaErhardt]

I just started a 100 day challenge to post one video a day, and it’s so encouraging to hear about how others have gone through the same awkward stage that I’m currently in 😅 It’s so easy to feel like everyone on here is a pro from the get-go, but I think the truth is that so many of us aren’t that great at the start. But like anything, with consistency and practice we ultimately (and eventually) will improve 💥 Thanks for the awesome video!!

[@Seekingsophia00]

Man, im exactly the same as you. When i look back on my life and realise how long it takes me to make a decision, it infuriates me, whether that's deciding to start a drawing or painting or revaluating my choices in friends. It can take me years to realise how bad my life is im order to fix things. Keep up the grind brother.

[@ailearners]

what do you use for music?

[@jasonves]

For music: share.epidemicsound.com/ddd9g1 & no, I don't use any plugins at the moment

[@thehomebodybudgets]

I love the first clips because I feel those so much hah. I think I’ll try this!

[@maximolopez9135]

Its great to see how have you improved. Im going through this same challenge and viewing this videos has helped a lot. Thanks for this video

[@semplybalanced3210]

Thank you for the inspiration 🤍

[@ronaldjoseph9168]

Very informative

[@mikekushida]

keep it up bro!

[@jasonves]

Yessir thank you 🤞🏾

[@AlexanderTaranenko]

Keep it up, man. Good job.

[@jasonves]

Thanks a lot mate! Appreciate the comment

[@rabtechtutorialvideo]

Sometimes it might be weird standing over the camera 🎥 but if plan to a KZbinr you have tell yourself that you have to be comfortable while recording yourself *I think would be a star point for everyone*

[@jasonves]

Facts, but you only get comfortable by doing it more often & making it a habit

[@feliciaflinders]

Great tips thanks for sharing

[@eigojiyouzu]

Props to you for keeping at it! Dont stop!

[@PatrickGregoryDaniels]

Great Video bro! Do a series on this topic and drop all the videos in a playlist… super bengible material

[@jasonves]

thank u mate!! hmm that is indeed a solid idea

[@chencardoza]

Keep going 😊

[@GreyMatterHuman]

Thanks Jason. That was good

[@bigjimstream]

Thanks Jason. Makes sense!

[@sterncode]

You killed me with "british airways mode". I'm in the same boat ! After recording myself for a few days, i guessed that using hands and getting the "amped up" me out gives out really more engaging stuff. But speaking non native english, with a weird french accent, i'm still relying heavily on a script. Im' currengly oscillating between the "british airways" mode and the "wayyy too pumped up too much cafeine" mode lol.

[@jasonves]

We got this!!💯

[@jasonpond]

Great Job getting after it, you brought up some great points one that I know I need to work on is actually reviewing to get better. I have 45 days so far of recordings but I am horrible at review for the purpose of making changes to get better.

[@jasonves]

Aye Thanks Jason!! You got this, especially because of your name. Reviewing + consistently recording yourself is definitely the key for improving with this.

[@Letstalkpodcast-iz3yj]

THANKS BRO IT DEFINITELY HELPED ME
