New Creators
  • It’s scary when you’re starting out on camera.
  • You shoot a video of yourself over and over again to get it just right
Seasoned Creators
  • You feel fine, but your audience isn’t connecting with you
  • You’re struggling to form a human connection with viewers
  • You need to build trust and credibility with viewers
Your audience is growing slowly because your on-camera presence isn’t as strong, confident, nor as personable as it needs to be.
 
Dealing with Nerves
  •  The biggest cause of fear is rejection, we fear that people won’t like what we say and consequently, won’t like us.
  • Another reason we are afraid is that we feel like prey. When we are in front of the camera it is easy for us to feel like everyone is getting ready to attack us.
