Know your talking points! Preparation reduces nervousness and ensures a smooth delivery during your recording. Most big youtubers recommend having a script.
Record short, casual videos of yourself talking about anything. This helps desensitize you to being on camera and makes you more comfortable over time.
Meditate or play soft background music while setting up. It can help ease any nerves and create a more relaxed atmosphere before you start speaking.
Place a picture of a friendly face near the lens. Looking at it can remind you to speak to a person rather than just a camera, making you feel more connected.
Even if you don’t feel confident, act like you do! Smiling and adopting a positive body language tricks your brain into feeling more at ease.
Shift your focus from self-judgment to the value you're providing. When you're more invested in the content than your performance, confidence follows.
Building an audience happens through consistency not perfectionism. Getting it perfect doesn't matter, but getting it done does. Improve as you go with the feedback you receive.
Lastly, don’t be scared of making mistakes. If you jumble some words, or something funny happens, keep it as a blooper. Audiences love to see the real and raw side of creators.
