what's up shenanigans John here and I am back once again once again straightening
my shirt out here to talk about something that I think is extremely
important for vlogging I think you'll agree whenever I hear the compliment
John you're in natural in front of the camera that makes me smile ear to ear
because a lot of people think being a natural in front of the camera means you
were born with the ability to do it I disagree and I hear me out
yes some people have a tendency to be more comfortable in front of the camera
and it's probably because of a couple things first is they probably practice
quite a bit I practice quite a bit I practice at work for giving
presentations interviews and things that I've done I practice talking quite a bit
and talking is just vlogging many people aren't gonna get away with never ever
practicing the craft and talking and being comfortable speaking in front of
people is a craft it is something you have to practice practice talk I talk to
myself all the time when I would run and I'm pointing over my treadmill you're
not seeing it and I would practice talking to myself I practice things I
was gonna say in collecting my thoughts it is you know like fine tuning a muscle you
need to practice you need to be able to conduct yourself and be able to speak
logically and incoherent sentences and not feel weird when you're talking in
front of people now a tip that I've said on this channel before that I think is
an extremely important tip look into the camera and you talk like you're talking
to a person and I am I'm talking to you right there sitting right there on your
phone or desktop or wherever interview I think that's your game console wherever
it is I am actually picturing talking to a person somebody walks into your house
and you're talking to them it's not gonna be awkward why would it be any
different now so look into the camera however you need to trick your mind into
it pretend that you're talking to a person next know what you're gonna say
before you get on camera I know that is probably common sense but a lot of times
and even in the past when I would vlog I turn the camera on and go I'm gonna vlog
I turned the camera on and it would be awkward because I didn't know what I was
gonna say what's up guys I'm gonna talk to you about being good on camera okay
now these type of videos I have a general outline about what I want to
talk about and I'll get on here and I'll stick to that but even when I'm doing my
regular family vlogs when I turn that camera on I kind of know what I'm gonna
have going on at that time so I filmed to
edit so now when I film I know what I'm gonna be doing so that I can edit a
little bit quicker years ago it used to take me four or five hours to edit vlogs
now I can zip them really quickly because I've logged that way I know
exactly what I'm gonna talk about I know exactly when I'm gonna show and I
piecemeal my segments like that so it gets a lot easier at the end when I'm
doing the vlogs and that's a another tip for you too but feeling comfortable on
it is knowing exactly what you're gonna talk about having it planned out now not
scripted because again if you script this and you memorize it it's gonna come
across unless you're really really really talented I'm not I have to get on
here in freestyle if I try to script anything it comes across very plainly
that I've scripted it and it is very clumsy that's the best word I have for
clumsy now this is another thing I think it goes without saying but talk with
passion talk with excitement you want to be fake on here because that will come
across but again I probably wouldn't talk like this when I'm looking at
somebody I would be like oh that actually made me laugh so you don't have
say when you're watching a video it is really engaging when somebody is
passionate and excited when they're talking to you so it's like amping
yourself up a little bit maybe ten twenty percent more than your natural
self it comes across in the camera much better I'm using my hands a lot I told
you before I talk with my hands I don't know what to do with them if you're
talking about something that you've liked that you love that you're
passionate right let that be known that's why we can watch motivational
speakers they're full of energy and I guarantee you 100% that's not how they
walk around life you don't see Tony Robbins walking around life completely
jacked in at school needs on stage he's passionate he lists it's passion from
people and it's engaging and that's what we're trying to do we're trying to
engage an audience when we're talking to him on the camera now this last one be
confident and I'm going to pull a line from one of my favorite movies of all
time boiler-room Ben Affleck's character says when he's standing at the boardroom
table and he's talking to the people he tells them to act as if and I'm not
gonna go into the full because I think it's got some cuss words and he tells
them the act is it they're the owner of the company is there selling these
stocks to people and I'm telling you act is that you're the biggest vlogger on
YouTube act as if you have a million subscribers you don't have to feel like
you don't have a voice because we're small youtubers do you know what you're
talking about just because I don't have a million subscribers behind me doesn't
mean I don't know what I'm talking about I am like you I have
the work I've put in the studying I've put in the effort here I've put out over
350 videos I know a little something about being on YouTube now has that
translated 100% a huge sub-county no it has it but it has shown me some things
over time I know how to video I know how to edit I know how to talk to people
that doesn't change with the size of your YouTube audience please don't lose
confidence because you're a small Channel don't do that feel confident own
your space this is your space this is your channel this is your video so when
you stand up or sit down or whatever you're doing on your vlogs remember
remember what Ben Affleck says act as if act as if you're the biggest vlogger on
YouTube and don't ever ever lose confidence because of the size of your
channel i'ma leave you with a final bonus tip here this is one that I've
learned quite a bit from over the years learn from editing I've gotten better
over time even though I was confident on camera I think probably most of my life
but even before I vlog because of my acting and and and podcast days but
watch your videos and learn from them really take in what you're doing take in
how you talk and adjust you can do some practice vlogs edit those and see how
you come across you can become your own best critic in that way you can learn to
director so I know most people probably still have a problem here and their own
voice and watching themselves I tell my wife all the time when I'm watching me
I'm not editing me I'm editing a person I'm directing a person tell myself to
shut up quite often when I'm editing and that sounds funny but when I'm editing
myself I have a tendency to talk a lot and so when I'm editing that I learn
from that I'm like why am I talking so much John shut up and I'm probably gonna
do it right now cuz I'm rambling every single time you release a vlog it should
be the best version of the vlog you've done learn don't ever put something out
that's subpar just because you want to get something out so learn every single
thing you put out learn from yourself looking at yourself listening to
yourself you'll become a much better editor and you become a much better
vlogger because you'll know what to vlog you'll be able to kind of boil down to
what you want to say you want to prepare you want to practice you want to get
that confidence you won't get that passion across to everyone you're
talking to out here on YouTube alright guys that's all I have for you tonight
please smash that thumbs up and remember if you aren't subscribed please consider
doing so and if you're still with some of the things that I've talked
about today tell me down below maybe I'll shoot a video and I'll discuss
those a little bit further with you guys thanks for watching again I appreciate
the support and I will see you next time
