    Very good video. I'm just starting and struggle with my confidence. But one step at a time. The last tip was super useful.

    Great video and very inspiring. I like that you don't stare at the lens for the whole video and your eye movements are very natural.

    Thank you for these unique tips and insight. One of the best videos on this topic that I’ve seen. It makes so much sense doing the editing yourself so you understand the process and limitations when we pay someone to do it.

  • @nerdmommy7114
    @nerdmommy7114 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is so helpful! Why 9.1k views only compared to your other videos?! Anyway, thank you so much!
    I love the edits of different YT content creators, the before and after. That was so awesome! I acknowledge how hard it was to edit that part!

    Some great suggestions, thank you! I’m still new and have lots to learn. So far, for me, I find it easier to be natural if I can’t see myself while filming! (I just do a quick test first to make sure I’ve not cut the top of my head off haha).

    Thanks for this video. Extremely helpful. My suggestion however is to eliminate the extemely annoying and overused TH-camr technique of adding clips from movies and TV. So annoying!!!!

    I have had my own URL for quite a while but I've never been able to develop it completely. I am planning to hit it hard starting with the new year. I hope that on January 1 I will be able to post a video every day. I know I've got a great subject or niche as some would call it. I know I will struggle with the videos, but after watching this video I will be able to face my fears, knowing that "it will come". Thank you so much for the information and the inspiration you've given me.

And your channel is very helpful thank you so much happy holidays son ❤️🥰

    Great tips. It’s encouraging for me as a raw beginner to watch you consistently looking down or to the side. Thanks for all the great tips. Do you think it’s confidence as well? Which you have in abundance btw. Well done

    Wow, this video was so helpful! I've always been a little intimidated by the idea of talking to the camera, but your pro tips have given me some much-needed confidence. I especially appreciated the suggestion to practice and rehearse before hitting record. I'll definitely be putting that into practice. Thanks for sharing your insights!

    You are so inspiring, Gillian! 😇 We watch all sorts of creator education videos and the space is mostly male dominated. We are a husband and wife crew and we love learning from a diverse source of educators. Your honesty and personality resonate with both of us and we are so happy when we see you have a new video. Some day when the time is right, we hope to sign up for some of your courses. Thank you for all that you do!

    This video popped up right exactly when I was about to hit the record button of my cellphone. I've been trying to start my TH-cam channel for so long, but my fear to not perform good enough on camera has held me back to do it several times.
    Thank you Gillian, this is kind of a sign of the universe for me.

    Point No.8 is just perfect. People always say I don't smile and look unfriendly and I make that resting b*tch face? annoyed? face. In fact, I was so relaxed and comfy and actually friendly. Now when I edit my video, I know they were right all along 🤣
    So, I plan to smile a little bit more, and just be a little less comfy for the next video.

    00:00 🎥 First videos can feel awkward and uncomfortable for everyone, even experienced TH-camrs.
    02:07 📝 Starting with a simple plan, like bullet points, can boost confidence and naturalness.
    03:31 💡 Avoid scripting every word to encourage natural speaking and confidence.
    04:50 🗣 Discuss topics you're comfortable with to ease into talking on camera.
    06:08 🛋 Before recording, get comfortable with your surroundings and rehearse your first few lines.
    06:54 👁 Maintain eye contact with the camera lens for a more engaging connection with viewers.
    07:48 😊 Smiling while talking can enhance friendliness, charisma, and confidence on camera.
    09:29 💥 Add energy to your delivery to counteract the two-dimensional nature of video.
    10:39 🎬 Editing your own videos initially can accelerate improvement by providing valuable feedback.
    12:10 🎯 Embrace imperfections and authenticity while finding a balance between polish and naturalness.

    I feel like you either do more work on the front end or the back end. I’d rather memorize a scrip and then when I go to sit down there are a lot less takes and editing (I hate editing).

    My videos look unprofessional because that's what it is about: just an average guy reviewing guitar picks without any sponsors or expectations about making a living from it. I might do a more professional channel on a different topic later on but for now I am having fun
