I like to pretend I'm shooting UA-cam videos while I'm driving, I go over some of the topics I want to cover. It works well, but it does hurt my Uber rating
I do this too srs
🙃
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha! Comedy vlog? Subscribed!
Man, how you sounded two years ago is what I sound like now.
At least your writing is concise.
haha same
Same
no, he got better. it’s not just the sound but also the rhythm and the movement
Lol I know i feel like I sound the same too smh
Ending sentences on “the down” ... super helpful.
That's what I noticed too. I agree.
To be honest you sound like a professional UA-camr which means you improved massively.
I think UA-cam has it's own sound compared to old media formats.
Yeah.
i like your voice clear and easy to understant your instruction. thanks
check out kingcobraJFS if u wanna see a pro youtuber.
On my blogs I got rid of the "UH"s by thinking with my mouth CLOSED. I noticed that when I was searching my mind for words, I'd say "UH" everytime. Now I just pause with my mouth closed when trying to think of my next point. I hope this helps someone. :-)
Interesting! Will give that a try!
thank you
Definitely going to try this from now on
I value your lesson and -amazed that you explained exactly why I naturally don’t have Ahs Ums - eventually this led me to teaching students and executives how to stop these unnecessary repeated sounds which are not proper words - another way is to practice substituting these sounds with proper words like ‘and’ ‘’also’ and many more - hope this helps too
If you are well prepared, you won't have that problem...
Haha took me like 250 videos to figure it out. Over 1.5 years to like my voice... All practice. Keep working hard on it. Great video.
It's definitely 'a practice makes perfect' thing lol.ever compared newest to oldest vlogs before, it's always interesting :)
I hope i can overcome it.
Can’t stand my own voice on video. I sound so different makes me self conscious. When I listen to myself I have to ask if it’s me speaking. What I here with my ears as I talk is not the same voice I hear when I hear a playback. It weird.
PresidentUSVI It’s because when you speak you’re hearing a combination of your head voice and a little of what’s coming out of your mouth. Your voice resonating in your head sounds different than what people actually hear. Singers deal with this when we record. It took me a long time to get used to what I actually sound like.
Cody Ellis Music if I record and listen to myself every day will I improve?
It's so relaxing knowing that I am not the only one on this boat. Thanks for your sincerity
I can confirm, Daniel's voice is just as calm and soothing in real life
Great tips for speaking on camera! I think a lot of it boils down to practise, practise, practise! The most important point I realised over the years, is to get started. It doesn't matter if it's just a baby step, but if we make sure we're taking tiny steps forward, we can be sure that we're improving!
Very interesting. What I would recommend is listening to good podcasts. It allows you to hear how people who talk form ideas and talk at the same time.
You are hands down my favourite UA-camr to learn basic (and advanced) principles in filmmaking and editing. To the point, practical and you cover things that everyone should know so well. Thank you SO much - keep it coming!
I just clicked on the video cause I saw a banana
Kelly Lopez 🤣
🤣
That's called banana clickbait 😁
you're going to be watching this channel a lot then .... :-)
Same
You've definitely gotten better speaking since that last video! Great example of how we can all grow with practice and just going for it! ❤️
Wow, this gives me hope. Great video bro. Well said.
I am watching this video after 2 and half years and you have no idea how much it has helped me! Thanks Daniel
GIANT improvement since 2017
Great advice Daniel. The desire for perfection is always the killer for a lot of people. (And why I haven't had the courage to publish anything!). It's a process a d great to see how much you have grown!
Diggin this! Super important and not enough people acknowledge how hard it actually is to sound like you know what you’re talking about on UA-cam 😂
this self doubt is so strong when i speak on camera but then i push through & then come this voices in my head saying i'm stupid. it's not nice.
Bro I am going down the rabbit hole of UA-cam university as I’m trying to level up our UA-cam channels. Thank you for that game about the “power box”. I noticed in my presentation type videos on my other channel that when I do start thinking about my head movements that’s when I start stumbling and rambling. Thank you so much for the insight. Savings this on my personal playlist. Will definitely use it going forward.
super knowledgeable and always inspirational
*Appreciate your humility* to show that older video of yourself 🙏🏽 I released my 1st video and was embarrassed by how long it took me to get to the point! So thanks for the small confidence boost dude.
When I shoot all seems well, but then I watch and I agree with you, Embarrassing! And Edit.
Dude, I checked your first video ''How To Write a Successful Resume In 2019'' and I think it is a great video. Why did you get embarrassed? All you need is good microphone.
@@asifjaved7672 Thanks Brutha, I recently purchased a new Mic, makes a HUGE difference, in editing too - thanks
Great tips!
Thank you for posting this. It is encouraging to see.. I’ve been beating myself up over my biggest weakness which is talking on camera. I’ve watched so many of your videos and just assumed you were a natural from day 1. Thank you for being transparent
Thank You Daniel for helping us little folk out here trying to figure out Do's and Don'ts in growing our channel. Keeping it real is one of your gifts that has attracted many of us to follow you each week. Peace
Bro Daniel I swear ur last video and this video are on point everything I wanted to know. Daniel The Psychic back at it again!!! 🙌🏾
People watching in covid watching this to learn how to talk in zoom 😂
Great video 👌
I always respected the way you treat your audience by saying everything clearly and concisely, defiantly a skill I need to pick up and work on. Kudos for having the balls to show a video from 2 years ago! You made good progress 🙏
Thank you for this! I haven't seen people on youtube talk about this, and it's one of my own personal obstacles to getting started.
Absolutely awesome idea for a video! I try to imagine that I’m talking to one of my close friends, it gets a lot easier over time 👊🏻
The boardroom tip is perfect 👌
Watched this 6 months ago when i had 0 subs. Now im here again with 1.7K subs thanks to you! Practice makes perfect, keep doing it guys!
Congratulations on the growth of the channel, saw you in suggested a moment ago. Another testimony to how consistency and iterative improvement to your videos has helped you grow your channel. Super informative. Thank you.
This video helped a ton. I used to umm and uhh so much it’s hard to watch after I record it. Glad you mention ending on a down cause I didn’t realize I was always ending on ups. This really helped me improve my vlogging
*AWESOME ADVICE* _THANKS FOR SHARING THIS!_
That quick Auto focus ( Hand gestures 🤚 ✋, is a Flex 💪🏾
There's a *huge* improvement!!! It's so encouraging to see how far you've come!!! Thanks, great video.
"If you're talking like this with your hands the whole time it's going to be difficult for people to focus on what you're saying", then your camera loses focus to emphasize the point. That's a well-trained camera you have there!
I thought he was going to mention his hands looking HUGE!
Im watching Ted talks and those public speakers rarely do the hand gestures.
Damn really good advice here. If I may say so, yes you have come a long, long, long way since your two year anniversary. Today’s UA-cam audience probably would have “no soup for you, NEXT’ED” you 😂.
Inflection and eye contact huge points as well. Notes definitely help, I have to fully prepare because I don’t personally like jump cuts (I will cover them if I can’t get around them). I try to speak in full sentences as well. I’ll do a second third or 10th take if I don’t like how it sounds so listening to what you are saying is also helpful.
Eye contact, the lens is a cold dead soulless beast, behind it are engaged viewers, so it makes looking down the barrel and keeping it there challenging, but break away too much from it (especially if you have a rear facing monitor to look at yourself in) is super distracting and inadvertently disengages the audience.
Agreed practice helps, impossible to get good without experience.
Great video man, the hand gestures “power box” is new to me, good to know I can utilize that.
Power BOX GO!
Here I am two year later on the dot watching this video to help with a video class I'm in for school. Love your channel Daniel!
Your hand gestures are very coordinated when you are speaking. It’s subtle, but keeps your viewers engaged and really keeps your audience tuned in.
This video encourages me 😊, because how you sounded 2 years ago is how I sound now 😪!
Check out that sunset outside at 5:19. You should've be out shooting that. Liked the tips. And kudos for showing us where you came from two years ago. Rome wasn't built in a day.
genuine and comfortable on camera. that's what i seek to be. thank you for putting this awesome video up!
Daniel THANK YOU! I was literally looking this up for the longest trying to find a good video last night and this is super helpful! Thanks!
Only just found this video, I've been testing myself in front of a camera for a change and the um's and ah's are out of control ! this def helps.
i don't know if it's the quality of the camera or the lut but your skin is flawless
One smooth dude...
LIGHTNING, not camera
beatboxerjonasz2 I think you meant LIGHTING ziomek
@@NajgorszyEver heh podobne słowa
some video editing technics but i think his face is naturally clean
I think you are on the channels I follow (and I follow many channels) that actually always puts out a lot of value on a super high quality level! Good Job Daniel, love your videos!
Thanks for this often overlooked tip! Since most videos I try to start from the monologue, it is really important to get it right because if you don't you might just throw it all away.
Definitely an improvement, but honestly you were pretty good 2 (well now more than 3 years) ago, much better than where some of us have to start from!
This was great! I’ve always been bad with public speaking and I still have such a hard time talking to a camera by myself 😂 thanks for this!
I'm still learning and hope someday I'll feel comfortable:)
this is definitely one of the best videos on the subject. thank you so much!
Great video dan the man! I can defo relate to a lot of these for my own channel. The best advice for me is just to be myself and not worry about anything else. Then it just flows naturally 🙏🏽😊
I can't talk to people, so I am learning how to talk to a camera. Lol 😂😁
vdiitd same tho lol
lol same
hello people from the future when this video gets randomly recommended again
You always make good points and you tell what you honestly feel or have experienced before, I love that thing about you.
golden information! loved every point, especially the last one about the boardroom meeting..
I REALLY like this video. It made me re-examine how I speak on camera. But the real question is...how do I change someone's eye color in Final Cut Pro X?!? Can we actually do that?!
MiKole why do you wanna do thatt
Yes u can.
This is weird
He is referring to the part at 2:00
Me too lol and would also like to see how you mask and change eye color. Would like to see your work flow
Key to UA-cam successsss 🔑
This is great advice for those students starting their first fully online semester this week. Many college level classes are requiring video responses to keep us students engaged with each other. Thanks for the tips!
Found this in suggested videos. GREAT WATCH this will help me a lot, and something I never even thought about before thank you for the video!
You've improved so much!
Dude, you speak like a god right now.. Do you have speeches prewritten?
Great, simple video. I'm a trained actor, and even trying to make UA-cam videos I have to learn how to interact with the camera. Every medium is different. Nice way to summarize the approach, thanks for making it!
Very creative way to plug your LUTS love it!
helpful, i’m going to try the talking to a group of people trick because the speaking to a friend thing doesn’t work for me either 😩
She Sparks Joy keep me posted
It's just SO HARD talking to that darn camera:)
Deb Foley you just have to continue to make videos and you’ll start getting better at it. There’s going to come a point when you start to adapt and become comfortable like the camera isn’t even there
@@CoachKev0731 Thanks! I'm really looking forward to that day!!!:))
Well done dude I’m going through that awkward stage at the moment 😂 but anyway where can we find that eye color change video?
Zena Visuals exactly what I was thinking 😂
This is such an important topic! I really struggle with the rambling when speaking to the camera, but I have noticed an improvement over the past two years. I'll definitely keep your points in mind when recording the next video - thanks for the tips Daniel :)
Definitely worth knowing how to speak in public or on camera. Glad you covered this and great job as always!
I have a problem with "as you can see" and "so" lol
Me too with "so". Even when I'm trying not to use it I'll still use it!
Me to. I say so too much
Do you feel you've gotten better?
“But Um”
same bro 😂😂😂
Do you end all your pitch meetings with “Peeace”, and place your hand on their eyes?
@Beyond 360 pitch meetings are tight
Super helpful video & appreciate you showing one of your earlier videos. I think the fact it was just 2 years ago gives me and probably others who are watching some perspective and a bit of confidence. This will go in the playlist!
Exact video I needed for what I'm trying to improve, so thank you, sir.
I thought this meant like how to hold a conversation with your camera 😂
Your 2 years ago video is me right now.
I'm doing 30-day UA-cam Challenge and I've posted videos for 9 days so far.
I'm comfortable in front of the camera now but my intonation still bad.
I also have bad grammar. It's not that bad in real life.
So uncanny you just created this video! I was just watching your videos closely a few days ago to observe how you confidently speak to the camera! Everything you have spoken about here is exactly what I had observed! Keep up the awesome work! 😃👍
Genuine tips, thanks for sharing. Really like the outside evening view
Anyone small film makers wanna support each other?!
Love the video daniel!
Just seen your Sony A7 Video. Nice, I’m getting the G7, (videos coming soon) keep grinding bro, you know your shit.
nice recap video guys. im just starting out on youtube . your content seems amazing
BlackEntrepreneur24 love it! Subbed bro!
Divyaraj Tank sweet. Checking you out now!
@@EricMyles subbed back!
Your two years ago is my two hours ago... 😂
Very helpful! Your sincerity and warmth comes across as super relatable. Thank you!
As a newbie this has been right on point mate thank you for the upload.
Also good point on the way that you have picked it up on the fly rather than official training. I live by this philosophy
Everything's great just don't say poooeeace at the end it's overused and not your brand man.
Great advice Daniel and you walk the talk. I would add that to be good at anything requires practice - but make sure it's the right practice. Daniel is giving the right advice to enable everyone to practice right.
New to UA-cam and this is my biggest learning area. I also suffer from urms & erms but i agree, its usually when i don't fully understand the topic i am discussing.
Great advice, Daniel. I'm about to start doing this also and I find this extremely helpful. You do sound a lot better than two years ago but that's the compound effect of doing this day in and day out. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this my bro. Genuinely providing value
Reminds me, gotta get my potassium today!
Once I learned a little more about editing, I feel much less pressure to perform. Sometimes I intentionally ramble to relax myself, cuz it’s funny and relaxes me. Still lots to learn.
This is a great video dude. Very practical and unique to your experience. I've been following your stuff for a year now and have really noticed an improvement in my video productions. Nice work!
Wow! You’ve improved a lot. I hope I could go this far after 2 years. I am used to talk in public but talking to camera is really hard for me. I just started adding videos in my channe this March and I’m excited to see my improvements years after. Thanks for this Daniel!
The whole talking to a camera thing is something that you have to grow into a lot and You had some great tips in there to make it go quicker, Thanks!
My biggest hurdle is to speak English as a native Swedish speaker and i stumble on the words A LOT.
I always tend to forget that nobody is going to see the result until you post it... Weird...
Awesome vid Daniel. some really helpful tips that I will definitely use. Thank you for sharing
Dude that slide transition was so satisfying seeming the colors and blacks deepened so nicely~
Man, I just came across this vid. Never seen u before. And appreciate u showing your 1st vid only 2 years ago! And now seeing how much potential there is, it’s inspiring af. New subscriber, Pickets.
This was so helpful. When I first started I hated my voice so I started making the speed of my video faster to sound “more upbeat”. Now looking back, I cringe watching those early edits!!! End of story practice makes perfect and don’t be so hard on yourself
Dude thank you so much for this video 🙏🙏 I really struggle with on camera confidence and your points have definitely encouraged me to keep trying. Great video.
Aaaaand this is why this channel has grown so much, I think I have gotten so much value out of it than all other channels combined. Don't be mad at Daniel for getting huge on youtube, learn to add value to your audience. Thanks again man for all you do!
You are the best! I have been wanting to start a filmmaking channel where I talk about the short films I’m making, and this is exactly the video I needed to see! Thanks Daniel!
Always good content... Daniel, you are starting 2019 on FIRE!!!
Thank you for the suggestions!
nobody makes videos about this. super helpful.
love the board room idea, thanks for the video!
