• How to Get Comfortable...
Things I relied on before I got comfortable on camera:
>Do a readthrough aloud of your script or notes first
>Power stances! Standing in Wonder Woman mode for a minute or two before shooting (studies show 'power stances' relax you and can help your confidence)
>Warm up by singing. I like to pick an upbeat song I ENJOY singing, and one that makes me feel like a bit of a badass. I also like to sing along to something while I'm taking thumbnail photos.
I definitely do the first and third tips you mentioned. Listening to upbeat music definitely helps put me in a spritely mood, which translates on camera.
Editing is great too in the end. I still have a lot of "um's" and "so's" which I take out to help keep the flow. Practice, practice, eh? =)
Rachael Stephen I am excited to try the Wonder Woman pose lol
Oh I love these tips! Thank you for sharing them!
Rachael Stephen great tips! :)
Rachael Stephen THANK U SO MUCHHH
My biggest challenge with being on camera is having an authentic smile. But watching this video was a good reminder that I need to practice more.
I can absolutely agree with you, sometimes when I smile on camera I worry that it looks creepy and awkward. You're right about the practice, it's the only way we can improve in the long run.
I found that the best way is to just practice talking in front of the camera and allow yourself complete freedom to play and experiment without holding anything back. I see too many people trying to conform to some type of ideal or copy some "confident people". I believe a better approach is to embrace your unique personality and get in touch with your natural, authentic way of expressing yourself. This will give you a solid foundation for enjoying creating all future videos and keep developing skills that will grow you as a person in all areas of life, no matter how successful you channel becomes.
It's weird, I know these things but whenever the camera turns on, I turn into an exaggerated version of myself. I hate that....I guess I feel like if I talked like myself that I would bore people to death. I get bored watching my videos. Creating good content is hard!
Brian's Kitchen 😂😂😂actually you are funny , so maybe you should consider to do a comedy Video
watched your fridge video it was very funny your style is so unique just keep it goin bro
Same!
@Off The Pie Charts I'm back now!
Its people man, just filter feedback. I use this trick, if close friends comment harsh on a video, then you did really good. If the person is nice, that's the sign to improve.
I watched this video back a few months ago before I started my channel. Now I am rewatching it after having made about 25 videos and picking up a couple hundred subscribers. And I still picked up some good tips that I'll be thinking about during my next video. Thanks!
My biggest problem right now is saying “um” a lot 😩😩😩
Deon Reacts sameee
Omg same
Edits bro. I do it all the time too lol
Jump cuts is the solution
LOL same here!
Just LOVED the tip of facing a picture of someone you are usually comfortable to to talk, putting it in front of the camera! Thank you :)
I’ve just started vlogging, and it’s way more difficult than it looks lol. The main thing I learnt was to “be myself”. Not have too many expectations of how I look or sound or whether people will like me. Once I got to grips with that, I really enjoy it!
When I started my channel I just put myself in front of the camera. Period. It was weird in the beginning, but then it gets better and better and now I love it. Thanks for encouraging people.
i feel conscious about my appearance while on videos lol
Dare Angel yessssss
Dare Angel i feel you 😆
Dare Angel no kidding me too
Dare Angel me too
There are a few components to reducing shyness at home . One plan I discovered that successfully combines these is the Seans Shy Program (check it out on google) it's the most useful blueprint that I have ever seen. look at all the interesting info .
Sunny those are amazing tips for getting comfortable on camera! One of the things that I did, especially in the beginning, to get comfortable on camera was to pretend that I am sitting across from my best friend. We are having coffee and I am just sharing my passion with my best friend. I noticed that the videos became much more personal, that I wasn't talking to a whole Auditorium of people like a robot, like you mentioned in your video, but I was being a person that they could be connected to, could be related to, and I was honestly, truly trying to help my best friend with whatever the topic was to help them the most. So very similar to your idea of personalizing it by putting a picture of somebody that you relate to on your camera, I just visualize as if I was having a sit-down coffee with my best friend and telling them whatever it was that I was sharing with them to keep things personal and friendly. Hope that helps. big big hugs🤗💖🥰
sending you big love!
🤗💖
1. Play => show video to family and friends
2. Personalize => visualize
3. Pace => keep calm
4. Excitement => show more interest in topic and smile its free
5. Pretend => take idea from other
6. Passion
6. Pressure => involve yourself in video
7. Practice
It helps to be GORGEOUS. Not everyone can look as good as you.
That was helpful! Thank you. The distance from the camera, spacing..is my issue when I shoot by myself.
Thanks! I used to be really selfconcious on camera, but now I can just be myself and it feels better and better :-) Mindful greetings, Vera from Simple Happy Zen
1. Play: play around on camera and watch it back and pay attention to what works and doesn’t work. Show it to friends and family for additional feedback
2. Personalize: practice talking in front of a picture of someone who you feel comfortable taking to.
Pace: slow down your words
3. Excitement: show how excited you are
4. Pretend: don’t copy, but think about what u like about ur favorite character or youtuber and see how you can incorporate it into your own videos
5. Passion: truly love what you are talking about
6. Pressure: remind your self that it is ok to make mistakes
7.Practice: just keep practicing! It helps!
bless your soul
The weekly portion of golden nuggets from Sunny is here! Clean, simple and easy to digest! Great job!
+Veselin Rusev thank you!! :)
Practice..Practice..
I made a video about this same topic but it was this video that originally helped me get to where I am now. Thank you Sunny!
More great tips! Trying to watch at least one of your videos per night until I'm caught up!
Darlene Michaud doing this a year later!
I'm so glad you shared these tips! I read an article today about how speaking slower shows confidence, and I know for a fact that's something I need to work on. I fumble over my words at least once in just about every video lol. Putting these in my backpack as homework, thanks love!!
Awesome! I love the picture idea in front of the camera! I can't wait to try that out! That will help me a lot! Thanks again Sunny!
+Celebrate Who You Are Today! so glad you found it helpful!! It's a great little trick :) happy filming!
Celebrate Who You Are Today! I can tell that several beauty bloggers are looking at themselves in a mirror. They make it seem like they are talking to me as a friend.
I basically just hate my voice
Literally tho!!!😂
I used to hate my voice, face everything...but soon I got used to it.
I’m pretty sure everyone does
Same here
A large majority of us all do mate, we don't want to stick out. Try not to over think it and over time it will bother you less. 👊
There was something satisfying about hitting the 100th thumbs up.
+Ivan Gartenhaus so satisfying! lol, thank you!
There was something satifying about hitting the 60th thumbs on your comment.
i just started my youtube vids and im still scared to be in front of cam, but thanks for this you're a big help!!!
Also act first like you're making the video for your family, friends, or close people, and that'll make you be yourself and funnier
nice, hahaha
thank you! i will think about my best friend evertime im in the camera.
Love this!!! I watch and listen to you all day!! You're such an inspiration and so knowledgeable. Thx a bunch!!
Hi Sunny, I loved this video. I am just about to start out on UA-cam but used to work as a local DJ and when doing hospital radio one tip I used was to place a teddy bear behind the mic and talk and joke with it, this helped give the impression for each person listening that I was talking just to them. I have tried to use a photo of someone but found that I was talking to that person only (the photo was of a girl I knew, well no surprise there then) and tended to talk to her but not all listeners were female so the bear worked a lot better for me.Keep up with these great vids as I like them so much.
Love love love this!! I feel like I'm getting more comfortable with each video I make! Your tips are so helpful. One thing I do to make myself more comfortable is to tape up a piece of paper on the tripod that has key words or ideas that I really want to make sure I cover in my video. But I don't want to memorize a 'script' so I make sure it's natural conversation with the audience but with that piece of paper I feel more comfortable because I know I'm not going to forget anything.
+Organized Momma that's such a great tip, thank you for sharing!! And thanks so much for watching :)
Sunny dropping those major 🔑's!!
Great idea of attaching a photo of someone you know next to the camera lens. Appears every time I look into the camera lens, I immediately lose train of thought and stop speaking.
Having done Broadway, off Broadway, not even close to Broadway doing standup, belonging to an improvisational troupe being on camera for television and movies, I have learned to take a beat by counting my breathing. And agree with everything you are saying.
Finally starting my UA-cam channel this week after yearssssss of procrastination and self doubt lol 😭🎉 I’ve been binge watching videos here on UA-cam on how to get started and feel comfortable and I LOVED the tip of using a photo of someone we’re comfortable with while filming. Wrote it down immediately! Thank you again for making great content 🥺🌸
Good luck love ughhhh
You helped me grow my channels and get better at UA-cam!
people are watching and helping already to see what direction you take your show
yes sound good
I think I’ve watched this 20 times 😎I know I’m better than I was, but wow it’s hard to project the way you do.
Thanks for sharing these great tips!
I love your tips!!! I practiced a lot last night and even my boyfriend said I was better at talking to the camera in “my real voice”
I am just starting my own channel and I have never been on camera before but after watching this video I found it really helpful and I was not so scared I am finding all your videos really helpful
Great ideas for getting comfortable on camera. I had trouble with the smiling bit until a friend of mine--who is also doing UA-cam video--said that one of his best photos was when he smiled "goofy". Now every time before beginning the shoot, I smile until I feel goofy, and than I start shooting. Thanks Sunny - Cheers Rick
I really like your short videos and your style. I’m still working on my confidence and hate seeing myself on screen.
How far you've come! Well done! Was looking for some inspiration to help others get camera comfy and found yours on top. Know your newer work, so it was awesome to find this one and see how you have grown. Bravo.
I'm extremely shy and find it really hard to be in front of the camera even though it might not come across, thanks for sharing your useful tips.
Sunny, I started following you a few months ago. Wow! You really helped me to improve my channel and I am getting more subscribers than ever. :-) Keep up the good work. Thanks always fun and very beneficial to watch your channel.
Thanks for this tips. It's really inspired me to start my video log soon.
I love that personalize trick! Very cool tip.
Glad it was helpful!
I have trained and entertained for a number of years now. Thank you for your insight and ideas. I am new to this "electronic sharing" and have found your videos very interesting and educational.
I LOVE your videos!! always helpful and creates a smile on my face! Love your channel♥
+MaddiesGlitterDust you just made my day! Thank you so much!
Hi, Sunny! It seems like you may have a bit of a cold or allergies. I find it great when we can still get on camera when sick and no one may ever know. We still get a chance to help others and be productive. Although taking more rest when sick is a must. I applaud your dedication! :)
I know this video is from a while ago but just wanted to thank you as you explained the process as real and as simple as it can be and i just crushed my first video thanks for reminding me to keep it simple and just be me which is what got me were i am today thanks again
After watching this video I realized I need to do a lot of work. I just love all your “P”s.
This is actually giving me another “P” which is PUSH! What I learned from you will inspire me to do better.
great video as always. being on camera can freak a lot of people out. i have the gift for gab and i love to teach, so that comes through. don't worry that hundreds of people will see you....they aren't in the room with you while recording, so they really aren't there. be yourself! don't copy! you'll be amazed at the results. i never script anything. i have a topic idea and i just go off on it, one take, precise. i'm good like that...hehe. comes naturally for me and after all the years of working in video and photo and music.
+ROTTER tube Reef that's so awesome to hear and thanks for sharing your tips!
no problem, thanks for the great videos
Good advice
Great tips! I tend to slow down when I'm in front of the camera (hello introvert!) -definitely need to ramp up my excitement.
Wooooow ï have just realized this. It's huge
I watched this video when it first came out months ago, but I find myself going back and re-watching again now that I'm prepping to record videos for my business. I'll need these excellent tips now more than ever! Thanks Sunny!
Wow it was great video now i can talk to any camera even if its front phone camera. THANK YOU SO MUCH
"Being Human is more relatable than anything else"
Thank you for these tips! I just posted my first upload in 6 years. It took so long for me to post again because of this very reason: feeling not like myself on camera. These tips are great and I know by practicing and uploading more I will get better! 😊
great advice. I especially like the tip about practicing. We have found that the more we keep the camera rolling the more confidence we find. and I'm speaking for a whole family.
This was a good video! I was very uncomfortable on camera because in part I felt uncomfortable just talking to new people. After doing over 200 videos I am much more comfortable on camera and I have done a video on what has worked for me.
Simple tips that help so much, Thanks! Trying to be better every video
Great advice. I usually have a coffee or energy drink to get my energy up before recording because I'm a really soft spoken person and have always been an introvert.
You're such a fluent speaker. Literally loved it!
Hello Sunny, I am Robert Winter. Thank you very much for your excellent advice.
I really liked what it had to do with putting a person you like in front of the camera. It had not occurred to me. It changed my perspective completely.
Thank you so much for sharing, it is such a valuable info. However, one thing i would like to share, which i practiced myself. If you are starting up something and excited about sharing it with people and wishing them to adore you and appreciate you and your efforts, then your expectation will give you heartache, and that heartache will create a symptom called anxiety. That anxiety will hit you every time you are in front the camera, you will get flashes of people and their comments. Which will clearly mess you at start itself, here, i am not saying that you don't need feedback, it is necessary to evolve but ensure that you filter it, and take it in a constructive way, and not literally.
As many close to you will start being harsh about your content, once you start perfecting your craft, they will be super nice when you are starting up, but once they see that you are evolving with your craft. An weird anxiety will hit them about you, its a type of jealousy and they will start passing that negativity to you. So, just relax, be consistent with what you do and have faith in yourself. Take it all as a learning, soon you will see negativity fading away from your life and then you will be always around people who are genuinely look forward to you and believe in you.
All your videos are so valuable to every single audience out there! Who could not love?! ☀️ you’re amazing!! ;) Thank you, for being you!
Awesome advice, Sunny. I’ve gain so much from watching and learning from you. It’s taken me a while to get over the fear of visibility and now I have so much fun creating, sharing and helping single women and heart centered men attract, date and create happy relationships by dating intentionally with fun and pleasure. ❤️
You got this!
ps- have you joined my secret group yet? It's free and it's an amazing way for us to connect deeper :) sunnylenarduzzi.com/secretgroup
I love how Sunny's always apologizing for being a fast talker while I'm legit watching her vids on DOUBLE speed.
Thanks. Thanks a lot. The personalize idea is a great way i think. I am just going to start some camera talking in mu channel and i really needed these tips. You are a star ❤️
Great tips! Another tip I have for people out there is to stay positive.
I feel more comfortable being on video because of this! It really helped me a lot.
I've been binge watching your videos and I love them all. Such great content. Signed up for your emails also!
Great tips! Thank you so much, your videos are very helpful. I just recently started my channel and being on camera is a big obstacle for me. I love the idea of putting a photo of someone on your camera to make you feel more comfortable and at ease. Thanks again!
I'm going to try the photo on the camera trick! Good one! Thanks.
I still feel slightly uncomfortable in front of the camera because there are just so many things to control simultaneously, such as the pace of speech, enunciating every word clearly enough for the language learners to understand, keeping eye contact at all times, minding your body language, and the list never ends. Well, I'll definitely keep working on it ... :) Thank you for the tips, by the way!
I absolutely love this video :) Learnt so many tips and tricks that's going to help me, especially since I have just started up my channel. Thank you!
I love to practice on periscope and snapchat. I'm going to try the posting a picture of someone I'm comfy with when I do my next youtube video. I'm almost certain there will be a massive difference haha. Thanks for the tips!
awesome tutorial
Great tips. I am too serious as a person and this has given me a few tips to smile more, and personalise - easier said than done, so well done for your work and advice. Tom
+Empowering Medicine ✪ Herbalist thanks so much!
Great video and you are such a "P"rofessional at teaching Video Marketing!!
+Susan Zimmerman hahaha I love that "P", too! Thank you! :)
Such great tips! I can't wait to watch more of your videos.
I appreciate your tips! I've let my UA-cam channel go dry for a few years, but your suggestions are giving me energy to get back into it. Thanks Sunny!
Thank you for this video!! It helps me a lot!
Practice so these things when your talking on the phone. When you practice without the presence of the video camera by phone it helps you get more comfortable and then when you transfer it to video or live you can feel much more confident because you've been practicing the principles when you talk to people on the phone.
these tips were super helpful -thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for your video great tips for people starting out- I haven't quite come around to uploading videos yet but this video has motivated me to get started.
New UA-camr, posted my first video but anxious about sharing it because I'm not really confident on camera😐 this way really helpful
thank you, this video really helped me out!! i just uploaded my first video the other day and i was so nervous. when i've been editing, i start noticing things about myself that i've never noticed before. i'm editing another video now and i'm still so scared about what people will think of me
Great video. The key really is to be yourself.
If all goes whell i should start making UA-cam videos again, but this time more often. And this is what is really gonna help me 😄
I am comfortable in front of the camera, but a few extra P's won't hurt. Thank you Sunny
Thank you and I will be using your tips in my next video.
Great video I don't like seeing myself on camera but great tips and will practice practice practice thanks
Nice video Sunny
This will definitely help me and my channel
I love you.I love your hair and you're awesome 🌟
you fan from Egypt 😃✌
+Destroyer H hahahaha my hair loves you! Thank you so much for watching!
I really like the way you don't chop your videos up in a million pieces. It makes me dizzy. And I don't like clicking on a video where the thumbnail is totally OVERCRAPPERIZED.
I love the personal Idea, . Keeping a picture of someone close in front of you!
Thank you!
Very helpful. It’s hard to relax when you feel self-conscious. Going to try the picture of a loved one tip.
