Great vid Alex! Stoked you found the challenge useful and that you're putting it towards your biz channel. P.S. I hope your relationship with the Owl is improving.
Great video Alex. 👍🏻 Im about to do this myself in preparation for starting a new channel and was a bit apprehensive but after watching you have so much fun with it, now I can’t wait. 😎
I'm literally going to start tomorrow this very same challenge because of Thomas Alex's video! I want to build my business audience on social media, mostly TikTok and as you said at the beginning, I kinda freeze up a bit while trying to talk on camera. So wish me luck!! I'll share my results in 30 days! :)
@@DawitBayulgn a like brought me back to this video haha... I did it! It honestly took me a month and a half due to the holidays and getting sick during the month, but it was worth it. I definitely felt more confident and started to find out what type of topics I like to talk about better. It was fun and I recommend it :)
I decided to subscribe to see how well you do in the next six months (you are at 129 subs today), wishing you the best to reach the 1000 subs within the year. I like how you improved within 30 days with more confidence. I plan to do the same thing for 30 days. Good luck to you!
Thank you for the comment and for subscribing, much appreciated. Once I get my filming and editing equipment I’ll be posting more content. Also wishing you the best with your 30 days challenge I’m sure that you will do great 👍🏻
Wow, the difference was so visible in your body language and the way you expressed yourself, even after the first 11 days and especially by the end! At the start you were skittish and quieter, the last few times it was loud enough, concise and smooth. Your girlfriend is funny for some of those prompts, not to mention your menace of a loud nightly neighbor. I'm thinking about doing this because I'm kind of horrendous at public speaking ans I really need to improve. Since I can't rent a crowd every day, recording myself and practicing speaking more is the next best thing. Your progress really motivates me to start!
Thank you so much for the comment😊, you should definitely give it a go, especially if you’d like to get better with public speaking. You will do great as you have a very good reason for why you doing it 👏🏻
i like most am just afraid of looking bad or stupid, but its all part of the growth - Thank you Alex gave me another jumpstart to try again and showing me and everyone that’s you just need to keep trying. Happy to be here for it
Hey man, inspiring video. Can definitely see massive improvement within the time period. I am on the same journey to overcome myself in front of camera and hope to one day get as great as you
The main problem while talking to a camera is the lack of 'COMFORT'. Most people aim to be 'confident' instead of 'comfortable' in front of a camera 📸. Being loud and clear definitely helps to increase the confidence but causes monotone in the voice. So, 'be natural' and 'make a lot of mistakes' instead of hiding them. Then, note down the mistakes and try not to make them next time. I am also in the process of improving my communication skills in front of a camera and this video definitely helps!✌
@@alex_oleksandrI found the same guy as you are and started my 30 days way. I’m on a second day only but feel that it should give me some results shortly
Great video. Im in a similar situation to you. Although, i am a little bit more introverted. I wanted to challenge myself talking to improve my articulation, and it's frightening how you can be overwhelmed by a 3.5cm lens! Um, um, um.i tthougnt i had a little bit of confidence, but this was shattered when i watched the video. Im on day 4 at the moment. I know it's going to be tough, yef i shall perserve. Keep up with youtube. You've got a natural talent in front of the camera.
im sure it will, anyway im writing video scripts where i just have about a few short clips of me talking directly into the camera, everything else will be voice recording+images, videos etc. but still, not easy because i was always the type of guy which never liked to be on pictures or videos, but i always liked cinematographie and stuff, so i have to go trough this to make it happen haha@@alex_oleksandr
Woah, such a noticable difference! I too saw that same video challenge. Love that you documented your progress and bits--inspiring! Wishing you best of luck with your channel. You're a natural! 😊 Totally stealing that 30 prompts idea! We had an owl too 😂but luckily it only visited during some auspicious nighttime winter bath moments. More magical than pest, so my owl love is still (thankfully) intact. 🦉
nice job and great progress. the idea with the topics from your girl is also great advice! im not sure if i missed it but did you just make your own challenge or did you participate at the course? stick to it, happy youtubing
Thank you, appreciate your comment, and no I didn’t do the course, if I continued to struggle with being able to talk in front of the camera after the 30 days, then I would of considered participating in the course.
I would recommend to talk as much as you can about a subject and any bits that you don’t like cut them out in the editing process. The idea of this is to get comfortable talking to the camera and realising that you any mistakes you make you can edit them. Hope this helps.
Great video and well presented. Some of your wee talks seem to last under a minute .. is that all you did for that specific day ... Surely if you do 3 or 4 exercises per day that 30 day period could be reduced to about a week. Regards from Whitley Bay
Alex, you seem to be only making short form content right now. Any reason you are not making long form? I watched your DJI mic video. In that video you were saying "um, ah, and, so" a lot. You have reduced that greatly but even in this video you are still using that crutch when you have to think about what you are going to say, you use the phrase "and,, um" or "and, ah". Great progress. I am currently doing a 30 day myself but more towards trying to get motivated to start editing my videos again. Today is day 3. Thanks for adding to my motivation and keep up the good work. You are now 99 subs, cheers here's to 100.
Hi Bob, thank you for the comment, I currently don’t have any filming or editing equipment anymore, but once I get it all sorted I will be making more long form content again. Also I know it’s hard finding motivation but I think you will smash it 👍🏻 thank you for subscribing and I hope you will enjoy the content I will be making once I’m up and running again.
I was sitting on the fence, wondering if this course was for me. Well, we do have an owl on our ranch too! And seeing you having the confidence to talk with this owl gave me the push I need to take the course ! Thank you, my friend. Oh, do you know of a course that teaches owl language? And you have a subscriber out of me :)
If you know its not going to be published on youtube, it wont feel real. You have to do this with the knowledge that people will see it. It harder to think about something good to share, actual knowledge. Then speak to the camera, practice with a teleprompter, practice reading and not looking like you are reading. Using expression, hands and body language. I prefer to speak to the camera standing up better body language. Too many TH-camrs are just sitting at their desk talking to the camera. Come on, get outside, in a beautiful surrounding, talk about something you really believe in. What people want to see is good experience or knowledge shared in a story. This video worked for you because it is a STORY. If you really want to get better, grab a go pro and vlog in public, around lots of people, i practice in the grocery store, or even Home Depot. Larry
#79 - I'm excited to see what your plans are for this channel. I saw the same "Thomas" video and I am on the same journey. I have another channel with 149 subs that has no uploads for a few years I am rebooting. Good luck!
The way his girlfriend looks at him in the end 😭 She looks so proud of him, everybody needs a partner like her!

Very good video Alex. I’ve been thinking about doing this challenge for a while now, and this has given me the push to take the plunge.

It gets better after a while, I promise you 👍🏻 thank you for watching and your comment.

Thank you 🙏🏻 and good luck, you will do great 👍🏻
Cool video mate :)
good going man
Nice vid. Damn owl, I had the same but with birds. What type of birds chirp at 2am
Great video and well presented.

yes you are correct , if you have the time to do 4 exercises a day then that will reduce the whole process
Brother you did great I'll also started the challenge and its been great 🎉for first 5 days ... Let's see how it goes in next 30 days
Thank you and good luck bro you will smash it 👊🏻
