- 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.

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. 😊
Imma use that
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
Boy am I happy to FIND YOU!! Love it. Love the energy, ambition, and drive you have. Let's make an impact.
Thank you so so much Mikayla!! xo E
*Yes!* I'll second that.
♥️
Thank you, Erin! #grateful
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
Nana Yaa same ! I loved this piece of advice
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 :)
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
Same!
I come across _too_ muted on camera. Time to *amp* it up!!!
♥️
All the best to you, Nsna Ya.
Lovveeee the idea of just recording yourself talking and video diary...So excited to try that technique, I believe it will help me tremendously
Yes!! It will help so much with just getting your thoughts out clearly. xo E
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 UA-cam, 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.
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
I am so thankful to have found this video!!! After like 7 years of wanting to start UA-cam but always having an excuse I’m finally uploading my first video this week 😭 and these TIPS???? are 😘👌🏽 *muah* chef’s kiss!
Never had a UA-camr that actually helped me such a fan now
Thank you Erin! This is exactly what I needed to hear! Your content never disappoints.
This is exactly the video I was looking for! So glad i found it, keep them coming!
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!
I love your confidence, that's what draws me to you!❤
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!
By far the best advice I've heard on this subject so far. Keep up the good work Erin!
Thank you, Erin! I ALWAYS learn something from watching your content. Subscribed!👍🏾👌🏾💛
Your advice, energy, aura, personality, pleasantness, confidence, and just your calming vibe all together is astonishing!
I love that you take the time to speak well. Too many UA-camrs do not speak well your videos are my favorite for this reason
This is my first time seeing Erin, I watched 30seconds before I decided to subscribe.
Such a positive and friendly energy, thank you! 🙏🏻
Very helpful! Love how open and transparent you are. We need more content like this.
This video is just what I was looking for! I love how your tips aren’t the same as every other video I’ve watched. I am actually less nervous going into filming my next video! Thank you so much 🙏
These tips are awesome! You're not just teasing what everyone that has said and your tips make sense. This is my first time watching anything you've done. I really like it! I couldn't even wait until the end of your video to thank you.
I don’t know why but, I get so tense whenever I am on camera. I definitely have to work on the energy part two. Thank you for the great tips. 💗
Thanks a lot sistah! You got me super inspired to step up and be present on the next level! Bless up!
Ahhh I love that! Leveling up! xo E
Girl EVERYTHING you said was true. I deleted like 10 videos in 1 year cause they were kinda awkward and I kept the good ones.. Also..somebody gave me that same advice last year to talk to myself and I looked at her crazy, lol. It works tho.. But yea.. practice does make perfect.. great video!
This is really great advice! I often find myself re-recording multiple times and it's sooooo annoying and actually exhausting. So Thank you for the great advice and tips! Love all your videos and what your doing. you are such a great inspiration, role model, and lady. ❤️ Good for our generation and the next 😛

Best video on how to talk to a camera I have seen.
Thanks for your advice.
I’m so glad I found you. Also live in Michigan btw!! I’m trying to get my UA-cam channel started up this summer because I just graduated college and I really want to Vlog and just make videos more than a normal 9-to-5 job! Your videos have definitely helped me realize some things I need to work on and how to become more professional with my videos!
thank you for this video!! these tips were really helpful to me :D
Another lesson learned from the amazing Erin! Thank you so much for all your work in putting out this sort of content!
ok ok ok! I had to record some audio I was struggling with and then watched this video. I went back in the closet with my microphone and turned it on. When I was ready to go I went... for some reason I say in my head once record starts you need to go! However, turn it on and go at your own pace. The audio came so much easier and fluid. Thank you again!
Great video Erin!!! I tend to use a ton of filler words and it’s something that I’m currently working on. Practice and more time in front of the camera will help so that’s what I’ve been doing. Thanks for the great tips ❤️
Great advice! Thank you.
Thank you for all your help. I have been binge watching your channel. I have learn a lot 🖤🤍 thank you
Great video! Very helpful. Thank you for posting!
