Are You Comfortable In Front Of A Camera?

Lucky for me, because of my job, I am comfortable in front of the camera, but I am fully aware that it's not a given for everybody.
With that being said, videos are very important for our online business.
It helps connect better with the client. It creates trust and shows our personality.
I am in the process of creating some videos for my online course and I love it.
It really puts things into perspective. Although I am comfortable filming myself, this experience is enabling me to discover my strong points but also, it's showing me where I need to improve as far as content is concerned.
Writing and speaking are two totally different things.
It's easier to write because it gives us time to think whereas speaking and filming don't give us that time. We have to be very familiar with our subject and feel very comfortable speaking about it because it we are not, that really stands out in the video and may, in the end, cause us to lose a client.
So, I am practicing to be better.
Have you tried filming yourself?

Thank you for your blog post.
I think being in front of a camera is something many of his struggle with. I make quite a few how-to videos so I am sharing my screen rather than myself, although I have a small video of myself in the right-hand corner. I believe by making videos regularly our confidence grows.
I do try and talk about subjects that I know about, in this respect I find making a video reasonably straightforward, in fact, easier than writing a blog post.
How did you grow your confidence, Sonia, when you started in front of the camera, please?
Wishing you all the best.

You are very fortunate to be so good in front of a camera. This will be a huge challenge for me.

Look at many young women walking down a catwalk, I say they do not look pretty.
They are not smiling so I think they are ugly.
I see them on TV sometimes and I was not interested but they interviewed one a bit later and she started talking and Smiling.
I then saw her beauty as it is all in one's personality.

For those who are camera shy, practice. Through regula practice you will get used to the camera.
If the issue is speaking, I recommend Toastmasters. Great support and help and there are plenty of opportuities to practic speaking. Members help with tips for better speaking.
