How to be Confident & Comfortable on Camera (& Lose Your Nerves FOR GOOD)

HAVING CONFIDENCE ON CAMERA (& Losing the Nerves FOR GOOD)
Being on camera can be extremely nerve-wrecking. It’s many people’s greatest fear. I know it’s weird hearing yourself talk and watching yourself on camera, but if you want to excel in this digital space, it’s almost mandatory that you gain comfort on camera.
So, after many years of on-camera experience as a host and journalist, I’m sharing some tips that I’ve never heard anyone share on how to warm up to the camera! Sometimes you gotta fake it till you make it. ;)
// IN THIS VIDEO I SHARE:
1. Tips on how to prepare before recording
2. Gestures to make yourself APPEAR confident (despite how you feel)
3. Hacks on practicing with your phone

I'm Erin and I'm a new full-time entrepreneur. I'm super excited to take you all along this crazy ride as I build my business from the ground up. Starting a business is much more than what influencers make it seem. It takes grit, hard work, and a lot of learning along the way. I'm taking you through the trenches and on the mountaintops with me, giving you a good look inside the life of a startup entrepreneur.

[@mikaylajeel]

Boy am I happy to FIND YOU!! Love it. Love the energy, ambition, and drive you have. Let's make an impact.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thank you so so much Mikayla!! xo E

[@readingsbycara]

*Yes!* I'll second that. ♥️ Thank you, Erin! #grateful

[@LaithWallace]

1:10 BREAK THE ICE WITH CAMERA 2:12 SMILE TALK 2:58 AMP UP THE ENERGY 4:51 PREPARE 5:34 WATCH OTHER VIDEOS 6:40 TRASH 8:11 START WITH SELFIE VIDEOS These are such great tips. LOVE POINT number 3 Amp up your energy. That was an amazing point. It's true your confidence is there in your videos. 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. 😊

[@CARIBLOVE]

Imma use that

[@nanayaa-ansah]

125% of yourself - great advice! I didn’t want to fake my personality and be super peppy but this makes sense that my natural “chill” personality doesn’t read well on camera lol

[@TheUnfashionista]

Nana Yaa same ! I loved this piece of advice

[@absolutelilly]

Same here. I thought it was just me until I saw this video! When I saw myself I was horrified at how bored and flat I sounded, but now I see that it might be normal, and I just need to adjust :)

[@Nay80]

that’s my exact issue, i’m hella chill and my friends love me for it but on camera it comes off as boring so i’ve had to amp up my energy but i feel like it changes my vibe slightly i’m not sure

[@readingsbycara]

Same! I come across _too_ muted on camera. Time to *amp* it up!!! ♥️ All the best to you, Nsna Ya.

[@lovedestinae6997]

I am naturally a more energized and optimistic person..until I turn on the camera :/ then I seem so bored or monotone..and I think I struggle most when doing a voiceover...Tfs, great advice..I'm going to try to implement these tips

[@kadaraoshun9988]

Lovveeee the idea of just recording yourself talking and video diary...So excited to try that technique, I believe it will help me tremendously

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yes!! It will help so much with just getting your thoughts out clearly. xo E

[@albaromerophotography]

Thank you Erin! This is exactly what I needed to hear! Your content never disappoints.

[@gab7197]

This is exactly the video I was looking for! So glad i found it, keep them coming!

[@bakefacee]

I love your confidence, that's what draws me to you!❤

[@sophonieadme6687]

Omg girrrlll you just described me😭I didn’t know what to do & know the problems, so I started practicing like you said, I used to talk right away & sometimes ended up not talking at all & instead do a voiceover. Right now I’m getting more comfortable because I practice & tried to film everyday or take videos on Snapchat this helped me a lot. like you said using “umm, but, so,like” I used those words alooott on my video & it was getting annoying when editing, I’m getting better now. I wished I found you before I started my channel, I learned everything on my own & learned from my mistakes. I love doing KZbin, I get excited making videos. Thank you for these tips💖this is 💯 real you won’t understand till you become a youtuber. Before uploading a video on my channel I let my sister watch & rated first, this help me to be more confident & tried to have a full sentence without cutting parts out because I have a judge (my sister) I’m also bilingual English is my third language.

[@kathrynblingliciousnesshacks]

Thank you, Erin! I ALWAYS learn something from watching your content. Subscribed!👍🏾👌🏾💛

[@MOVEfitnesswellnesslifestyle]

[@Heyjasminemonique_]

Erin I found your channel about a month ago and I have literally watched almost ALL your videos. I am in love with your topics. So many of them have helped me! THANK YOU!

[@therealevedinerotv2088]

I saw one of your videos and this is the third video i'm on in a row. all of these points i've already said myself and literally on the last video i was on i said "i should smile more when i speak it makes it more open" this is great

[@Tiaalexander007]

You go girl! You give it and I know the world appreciates you. You really need your own network show! I’m praying for you. I’m a fan!

[@kiaj692]

Your advice, energy, aura, personality, pleasantness, confidence, and just your calming vibe all together is astonishing!

[@IndiaYogaJournal]

I love that you take the time to speak well. Too many KZbinrs do not speak well your videos are my favorite for this reason

[@MoneyMakingStassia]
