“My authenticity is valuable to my audience.” Powerful words, well said. Thank you.
Who else has no problem being themselves in person but a lot of trouble on camera? It really hit home when you said a recording feels more permanent.
Damn, the whole video was filmed with one take and no single ummm! Thank you for sharing this!
I think he uses some sort of technic of when ummm comes on tong, instead of saying it, he make a silence pause and says it in his mind only :) At least that is what would I start with first.
@@AndriusBalakirevas I agree. Umm, uh, ah etc. is a way for your brain to take a pause and you feel like it's necessary to fill the silence. It's OK to be SILENT. Sometimes SILENCE is a real clincher. SILENCE makes people take notice.
@@CaseyX726 Can't say better , mate :) SILENCE is a real clincher :D
@@AndriusBalakirevas you’re right. The pregnant pauses are where the “ummms” likely would be heard, but he never gives in and says even single one

Bro, I literally just tried this out for myself, by pretending to record. Not caring about making mistakes, and not feeling bad when you do, makes a huge difference. You helped me in under 10 minutes
I tried talking to the camera today and I actually feel like a total failure and will definitely not be posting what I did.
I try so hard to be myself but kept fumbling up my words, finding myself blank, frustrated , until the point that I just gave up and went home I will try again and again until I can and I will not give up. thank you for this video
“People are expecting me to be me” is GOLD!
Thank you! I am one of those extroverts that shut down when I am in front of the camera.
I know this video is three years old but it’s incredibly helpful and reassures a lot of thoughts I had on this.
I’ve been shooting my first UA-cam video the last couple weeks and it’s been so awkward.
I am even someone who came from an acting background in college and thought that I would be able to do it easily. I then realized it’s complete different than acting because when acting, you’re typically directing you words towards someone and reacting to their reactions. A camera feels like I’m talking to a wall.
The video format of a single take was inspiring, I realized you didn’t talk perfectly but you also talked authentically to prove the point
My immense frustration is, have a lot to offer to people, and I can't deliver it in the video. When I try to speak, my mind becomes empty and blocks me every time. I'm worried about how I look and how I speak because I am not a native English speaker. Especially, I need to remove strong paradigms from my mind. Now I understand that I need to practice, practice, practice and most important try to speak from the heart like to my best friend. Thanks a lot for this video because it encouraged me a lot and opened my eyes.
After 13 years experience as a radio host i can only sign every word you said. Great video!
I have definitely had the "Who's that!?" moment, and am still trying to look/feel more like me on camera. My take away from this is to think a little more before shooting, breath a little more and worry less. Given that I'm Scottish, meaning I obviously talk too fast anyway, I'm determined to get to grips with it soon and let people meet the real me! Really helpful video Tom, thanks 👏🏻
be proud of that beautiful Scottish accent and let it riiiiiinggggg mate
This is some very valuable information right here to get you started talking on camera! Learned a lot from Thomas and hope I can tune in to the Masterclass! Proud to be part of the first 30 Day Talking On Camera Challenge! Keep it up Thomas, your skill sets and lessons are very much appreciated! Cheers!
I think it's quite cool to go back and "look" at how bad we perceive we were, because it encourages us going forward. Thanks Thomas
I have learnt a lot from this dude as a young travel Vlogger
I've been a subscriber for a very long time, and have really enjoyed your style and content. I am not able to travel much so I enjoy seeing all those exotic places you show. I have learned a lot of helpful tips as an amateur videographer, both from your example as well as you training videos. I have made all the mistakes of excessive zooming, panning, etc.. I have made only 1 video talking to the camera. It was addressed to one person as a personal thankyou for a kindness rendered. It was extremely difficult and I probably made a dozen takes before I decided to imagine the actual person sitting in front of me instead of the camera. I could then express my feelings from my heart. Thank you for all you do.
Great video - amazing how a simple thing like being authentic is so key!
This is the best video I have seen on this topic. I have been trying to grow my channel and get better at talking with the camera. I get so into my own head and start thinking about how I will come off to others. This video was so affirming and reminded me my authenticity is my power. I just have to be myself, thank you so much for this.
Thanks for sharing!! I am Autistic and only found out last year im 33 years old. I had crazy anxiety doing training presentations at work etc. Had to do it on camera for the first time live and wish i had watched this before doing so. You have inspired me to change a few ways of working to increase my time in front of camera to help me in all aspects of public speaking etc. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the raw and undone feeling of this video. The 1 clip video with no cuts etc really helped to accentuate the point you're making in this video.
Fantastic, and totally real! Completely agree with your points. Needed this, thank you.
Thomas, thank you for doing this video. I recently started a UA-cam guitar channel and I do struggle with being myself in front of the camera. While I know what I want to present to my audience, I often have to remind myself to simply BE authentic. The concept seems simple enough, but once I press record, all bets are off. Anyways I'm rambling. Please keep up the great content. I am very glad that I stumbled upon your channel! Cheers
Great topic. I relate 100 percent. As a person who’s worked in video production for almost 2 decades I realize my weak spot occurs when in in front of a camera. I can speak to people with absolutely no fear or anxiety I person or over video chat or phone. But for some reason the camera really messes with my head. I don’t know why but I’ve never been able to learn how to deal with this issue and get better. I realize that other people have worked through this issue and it’s an admirable skill. The 39 day challenge is certainly interesting. I’m looking for solutions.
It`s the best video I could ever met anywhere. These mantras about "The people really are expecting you JUST BEING YOURSELF and IT IS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE" are making me serene and peaceful while Im thinking about talking to camera. Thank you so much, Thomas.
I CRINGE when I watch myself on camera. This was very helpful :)
This has been the best advice I have ever received, about talking on camera.
Thomas, this was so helpful! The way you shared about being Authentic & showing us through your honesty helps me a lot. Thank you!
I know this video is a bit older, but I am currently in communications at school and it was very helpful! I have to do presentations through video assignments and it has been very awkward and hard for me to do. Thanks for the tips 💕 👍
Yay! Awesome video and nice studio setup. I think we’ve all been waiting for this video. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
You hit the nail on the head with this one Thomas. Prob one of my favorite videos you've put out.
Love this bro. No edits! You described exactly how I feel every time I make videos. I run a company of Soldiers and have been in positions that I train and talk to hundreds of people with full confidence. But when I start recording, all that goes to shit. This I hope will help. I’ll definitely put this into practice so I can improve.
You're one of my favorite vloggers, not only because you have solid information, but that you're relatable. I really appreciated this video. Happy day :)
Love this. Arrived here after watching and reading a lot of Brene brown. Authenticity is something I struggled with from an early age. Just in the last few years I’ve realized it’s a huge gift to myself, my wife, family friends and clients. Thanks brother
Brene brown is great
Much respect for putting yourself out there like that!
I am the kind of person that struggles a lot with thoughts about how I look or what I say when I talk, not realising that my authenticity is what matters the most. Vulnerability, not trying to be perfect, I think helps us to connect in a more authentic way with other people. Thank you for sharing.
I really liked that you made it about the most important thing. Without fluffing it with anything else. You made it a priority for us to value the authenticity and forget about the rest. The rest will fall into place, after the soul is found and expressed. Thank you for this. Hounding it for a 10min video is hard. U did that with your own authenticity. I’m glad I skipped every recommendation upon my “search” on UA-cam and clicked on yours. It looked different. It looked like you didn’t intent to post a video that simply did good for the algorithm. Thank you for proving it right
Man, you have a phenomenal way of communicating with people. I started typing this at about the 8 minute mark and was literally getting to the point of commending the fact that you did the video in a single take to demonstrate your point, and of course you wrapped up on that note. The effort & sincerely behind this one is very apparent. Thanks for giving this to us 👍
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
I had plans to start a UA-cam channel but got on cam and went silent took me 3 months to actually get over that fright and right now I about to start again. Thank you Alex 💕 sending you love from Nigeria
So comforting and true!
Recently, I started a UA-cam channel with my girlfriend. We get so excited creating our concepts, our outlines, and are gaining confidence with editing tools. That said, the anxiety of getting a good recording haunts me.
Your message here is accurate, compassionate, elegant, and beautifully delivered. First time on the channel - Liked, Subscribed, but most importantly, thank you for the pep talk.
This video is really amazing. Exactly what I needed to take my skills to the next level! Thanks for sharing!
This was the game changer I was looking for. Thank you.
U r one of the incredible persons that I have ever saw in my entire life..thank u thomas😊
This video made me feel so comfortable and you told me that it's okay to be just me and speak out about what I want..thank you so much 💝🌻
I’m so glad you did this in one shot. It was really beautiful and showed me i don’t have to be perfect or be thinking about how I’m going to edit my video to be perfect. Thank you. This is the best video about talking to camera i have seen
Fantastic advice. Start with authenticity and the rest will take care of itself.
I’m going through you’re 30 day challenge course now. I think this is very valuable stuff to unlock what’s inside of us. Thanks for being you.
Stoked to hear it. ❤️❤️

Great video. Always looking to improve the way I am in front of camera - this mindset shift really helps, it's never going to be ''perfect'', I get lost with trying and end up not being myself enough.
