Hello, Jay William here.
And in this video, I'm going to share with you my five tips to help get comfortable on
video.
So stay tuned.
Now, once you actually become very comfortable in front of the camera, you're going to be
able to deliver a professional authentic message to your audience.
See, it's very different to actually speak on stage because with video, you're speaking
directly into a lens and you don't actually have a live audience in front of you to actually
engage with.
Now, just like being on stage, it's a form of public speaking where you're speaking in
front of an audience except this audience is your camera.
And I was surprised to find out that public speaking is the number 1 fear that every single
person has.
In number 5 which surprised me the most was actually death.
So it's a pretty scary experience.
Now, in this video, I want to share with you the five things you can actually do to help
you become more comfortable on camera.
Number 1, know your topic.
Now, I can't stress enough how important this is.
You wouldn't get on stage trying to deliver a presentation about a particular topic that
you actually didn't know.
If you actually know your topic, it's going to give you the confidence to go out there
and deliver it.
And if anyone asks you any questions, you're going to be comfortable knowing that you have
all the knowledge you need to actually answer their questions.
Number 2, use a mirror.
As humans, we look at people in the eyes.
We don't talk to a camera or we don't actually talk to a lens.
So it's important that if you're actually going to make a connection with your audience
and keep your audience engaged, it's important that you look straight into the camera lens
and the best way to start doing this is by looking at yourself straight in the mirror
and looking at yourself straight in the eyes and just practice talking to yourself.
Number 3, breathe.
Now, I see this all the time.
People get nervous when they're about to start shooting a video and they talk at 100 miles
an hour and they don't really know what to say and they're just saying their topic and
their topic, topic, topic, topic and then like [gasping] and then we go again and again
and again and again.
It's important that you actually breathe while you're in front of the camera.
This is going to help you in your presentation.
It's also going to help your audience to actually digest what you're saying.
If you're not taking any breath at all or you're speaking too fast, then your audience
is going to quickly become disengaged and they're actually going to watch somebody else's
video.
Number 4, make it about them, the viewer that's watching your video.
Now, if you find yourself feeling quite nervous before you do your video, did you know that
nervousness, when your body is nervous, it's actually in the same state as what it's in
when you're actually excited?
So practice when you start feeling nervous, tell yourself, I'm excited.
The next I recommend is you actually make it about them.
If you're feeling nervous, and anxious, and thinking, What do they think about me?
What if they don't like me?
focus all of your energy outside of your body and onto your viewer.
Make it about delivering as much value as possible to your potential customer or viewer.
And this is going to help to calm your nerves and help you to deliver a powerful message.
And then finally, number 5, practice.
I know you hated me saying that but it's important that you practice getting good on video and
getting comfortable on video.
I've created over 1,500 videos and sometimes even I still get nervous.
So I have to run through these methods to actually get myself comfortable and ready
for my shoot.
A little exercise you can actually try is for the next 30 days, every single day, just
pick up your smartphone and just record a video, just start talking, try and focus on
making eye contact with the lens, try and focus on your speed and your breathing, and
just start to actually get comfortable with presenting in front of a camera.
Now, I know you probably still have excuses.
I don't have the equipment.
What if I can't do this?
What if this happens?
What if that happens?
What I've done is I've put a playlist together or videos of questions people have asked.
To be honest with you, excuses that people actually come up.
I've created a series of videos to answer those excuses and questions that you might
actually have.
So what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to place a link at the bottom of this video,
in the description where you can actually go and check out those videos.
So there's my five tips to getting more comfortable on camera.
