My favorite filming tip was one I learned from you a long time ago and you referenced it again in this video. It's the filming in chunks. You have NO idea how much time you saved me when recording. I used to record all in one sitting and it was a nightmare. I would dread recording until I learned about filming in chunks from you. The best advice ever!
Vanessa, have been a silent follower ever since you first started your channel and it’s been inspiring to see you grow. Thought you always had great tips but I find you so much more personable, relatable and authentic than ever before. You seem so much happier too!! ☺️Whenever I watch your vids now and behold your transformation, I think of a comment someone left on one of my videos the other day: “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” (Carl Jung). Keep doing you, girl!!
Ahhh!! Victoria thank you so much for leaving this kind message. It’s definitely taken a lot of inner work to get to this point and I’m excited for what’s to come because there’s still so much more I want to share! Appreciate you so much and thank you for enjoying the content and the vibes ❤❤
Success on TH-cam comes from consistency, authenticity, and growth with every video. Stay focused, keep creating, and your breakthrough is just one upload away!
I’ve known you since you were a Sunny Lenarduzzi’s success case. It’s been a while, once in a while I stumble upon your videos and I love seeing how far you’ve come. ❤
i appreciate that you added the clips of you stumbing, cause I always stubble in my videos when recording and in my head i'm like "how do people know what to say without needing a script or stumbling" or I have another thought "it should not take me an hour to record a 15 minute video I need to get better at not stumbling."
Vanessa, you are onto something huge, girl. I’ve been following you for a few years and I’d get burned out just WATCHING your videos. You are leading a massive movement now with this new chapter on detaching from outcomes and results, and putting art out there just because. I’m so enjoying your videos now!
I’m not sure if she will ever read this, but I think you are perfect just as you are! Your videos have helped me so much. I support people who put in the effort with my subscription and likes. I’m just starting out, and I consider you such an inspiration because the things you say are incredibly insightful and directly address my concerns and doubts as a creator myself.
I’m a newbie TH-camr only 3 videos in, and just started thinking that I want to be less performative and more authentic! This video couldn’t be more perfect timing. Thank you, Vanessa! You’re such an embodiment of your work and it’s a gift to get to witness how you’re growing and evolving into the TRUE you! ❤
Thank you for helping me realize it’s okay to give myself permission to postpone a video when I’m having an off day. I once spent 6 hours filming a video, and the final result still didn’t feel right. Sometimes, we just need a reminder to honor our own rhythm and extend grace to ourselves so we can create content that truly feels authentic. You’re incredibly inspiring, and I absolutely love watching your videos!
Oh man, it’s such a relief watching a big creator do the same thing when trying to record something. Having to start the same sentence over like ten times just to get the right inflection or just trying to remember your script. It’s awkward as all hell, especially if someone else is in the room with you 😅 cheers Vanessa!
I have to say... I really admire how authentic you are, letting your personality and vibe shine through in your videos. And to see that you're almost at 1 million and still editing your own videos. Wow, much respect!
This is crazy! I do literally everything you're doing here with some changes - I edit the script by watching back rather than reading, I repeat the same phrases to get it right / get what I want. I also edit bits in later, and - wait for it - I even have the same comfort pose with the SAME leg underneath me 😂 ❤
My favorite thing about your videos is that you are always so detailed! I mean you will cover things that I didn't even think about! I've been a subscriber for a few years now and I'm so happy to see you back in action on TH-cam. Maybe 2025 is finally going to be the year that I get on/get consistent on TH-cam if you keep pumping out this super valuable information. Thank you Vanessa!
Also how you speak has changed. You speak more personal and inviting - versus salesy or performative. I appreciate your channel and have been following you since you have been back on socials. You have encouraged me to add TH-cam to my social platforms besides IG & Tiktok. My thing has always been if I do longform having something to say and not just doing anything - intentionality. Thank you for what you do !
Thank you so much for being honest about having a bad filming day and having to put it down and try again another day. Coming from an experienced and highly successful TH-camr such as yourself, this is so important and so validating! I’ve been feeling so down about starting my channel feeling like this doesn’t come naturally to me so maybe I just am not meant for this. Yet, I feel myself bursting at the seams with ideas and stories and messages I want to tell. Thank you for reminding me to give myself grace as I attempt to do something that isn’t natural, that does take a lot of energy, and can be quite difficult to do, especially as I am also a newer mama 😅 i appreciate you and this video, thank you 🙏🏽
Vanessa, I usually don’t take the time to ever comment on videos on TH-cam but I absolutely HAD to tonight. Your authenticity & vulnerability since your come back has been phenomenal to witness & also very inspiring. Thank you ❤
Wow! This was the exact video that I needed and I want to watch multiple times. I feel like the process prevents me from creating and filming more often because I am making it less relaxed and comfortable. I always put so much pressure on myself even though I know I can edit it later. Love all these tips! ❤
I'm absolutely loving being able to see the more authentic Vanessa! I watched some of your older content a couple years ago and honestly felt intimidated. I wanted to start, but it never seemed perfect enough. I finally uploaded my first video on Sunday! It's not perfect, but I am so happy that I've finally started after talking about it for years. I'm going to be striving to improve and be more comfortable and build connections. That's why we're all here afterall.
Wow Vanessa…I remember following you years ago and I loved your content then but felt you weren’t authentic or transparent. I stopped following because of those 2 reasons. But OMG to see how you have blossomed and become your own person! Then you were very robotic, scripted and synthetic. You popped up on my feed as a recommended video and I am so glad I clicked on the video. Wow…a 360! I am so proud of you. I am happy to follow you again! Keep pushing forward and tearing down barriers. I must say I did tear up because I see such authenticity in you now. You look so happy now. You’re not so “scripted” or robotic now. You’re calm and don’t seem so hyped up on caffeine as before lol. Welcome back pretty lady❤
Following along with your content has been super helpful! I’ve been working hard on my travel channel and recently hit 471 subscribers. It’s exciting to grow alongside such talented creators! Excited to keep growing with this community!
I just gotta comment on this video. Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Ultra helpful. So honest, authentic, so ON POINT on so many of the specific struggles I face as a new TH-camr. And also for validating on the exact thoughts i had during filming processes. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I’m finally getting back into TH-cam because of the pure fun in creating! And I loved the part from the interview where “it’s all about YOU being happy” and not what everyone else things, as well as the “how I do..” vs “how to..”. So many good tips!! Thanks
Thank you for sharing the behind-the-scenes when editing! I want to create more authentic content, and I so do appreciate your transparency and tips :)
Girl you're so real for dropping the period tracking and the anecdote about hormonal bc and no periods whatever- hit the damn nail on the head and love to hear similar stories out of the blue like in this video. share the awareness! 🫶 love your videos!
Uhhh! Yes! “FILM IN CHUNKS” is a thing!! 😂 i kept driving myself crazy with trying to get my script reading along with how natural I look on camera down perfectly, all in one take! 🤦🏾♂️ what a dumb approach. As a result never getting one video done! Thanks for this!
These tips are helpful! I am grateful for the 40 subscribers who believe in my content during these early stages as I begin my content creation journey, however I aim to try to improve one video at a time to increase higher quality content over time. The first step is to improve my scripting. Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
Hey Vanessa, Descript is the best! Thank you so much for introducing this resource. I usually delete the filler words manually in Final Cut, but this makes it so much easier. Absolutely love this find!
Thank you for this video! I love your authenticity! I just started posting on any sort of social media about 2 months back, and i really wish to get to your level of production and authenticity some day - and of course have fun while doing so!
i adore that you spoke about syncing your cycle to filming!! the major self-criticism and questioning of all life choices in luteal phase does not help filming at all haha
This was very helpful. A lot of info but practical. I didn't realize how much energy the filming takes. I am a seasoned person starting this journey and it's helpful to realize that someone who is my junior and so proficient has to recognize when to take breaks. I appreciated the bad filming days tips. Thanks for this.
Oh my god. This video is making me feel SO MUCH BETTER about me stumbling all over the place when I make videos, to the point that I keep questioning whether I'm cut out for this or not. Not only your scripting and filming method sounds amazing and like they can take so much of the pressure off (right now I'm using only my memory of what I want to say when filming), but seeing that you also struggle with this while your videos are so polished really gave me a boost. Thank you! It's the first time I see one of your videos but I'll subscribe now. Genuinely helpful stuff.
Hey Vanessa I'm a new subscriber🙋🏻♀ just wanted to say that I really vibe with your authentic self! I love that so many creators are focusing on being authentic and just being themselves, it really does resonate much more on an emotional level. I'm going through my own journey of deconditioning from people pleasing and fear of being seen, and you're an inspiration 💚 keep being you girl💚 .
Can I just say I appreciate your newer videos so much. Even though beginners can watch them they’re also helpful for people mid way through their TH-cam journey like me.
I'm so grateful I found you. I could just burst into tears at how seen/ heard you make me feel. Especially knowing that you went on a journey where you quit and came back with these teachings to share with us. Thank you SO MUCH, Vanessa.
the fact you took into consideration the cycle syncing - wow. I am actually feeling so understood and relieved to have this considered in scheduling. Thankyou for your wisdom Vanessa! ❤
Loved this video so much! I am a health coach and have been thinking of making videos in addition to my blog to help others learn, and be more healthy. Decided today was the day I would dive into learning how to make videos. I chose yours because of your warm smile! Invaluable info, just watched this for the 3rd time to take notes. You have a talent for teaching and being relatable and I’m thankful to have found you! I’ve already watched 4 other videos of yours also! ❤❤ ❤
All these tips are GOLD. Thanks Vanessa for sharing such comprehensive and insightful tips. There are so many points that I resonated a lot and reflected myself to improve next time when I film. Keep going girl! You're doing sooooo good xx
You really give the best advice, I just found your channel a few days ago and your advice has made more sense to me than anyone else's. Going to watch a lot more of your videos!
Girl this video is a GEMMMMMMMM!!! I'm so glad you are sharing the detailed process of filming videos. I hope creators really take the time to watch and process everything you shared today because you broke it down perfectly! I'm on a TH-cam break at the moment but I am looking to transition out of "how to" and do more "How I" Content. I also like that you showed your different filming locations being in the same room but in different spots because that's something I wont to play around with for my future videos as well. Thanks girly!
I just wanna thank you for all of the valuable info and applaud you for being so good at what you do. I’ve been doing soooo much research on what makes a great TH-cam video, how to grow, how to incorporate affiliate marketing, how to speak/lock in the audience, etc. and GIRL. YOU HIT THEM ALL!!! I’m amazed. I’m not only going to be watching your videos for the content, but also to study how you do everything so flawlessly and hit EVERY mark! You’re killin it queen🙌🏼👏🏼💕
Your videos are literally like a therapy for me. They are educational, yet they are so comforting and soothing to watch. Thank you for being you and sharing your experience with us. I would love to get your take on how to film vlogs more naturally too. Thank you !
Thank you for this series! I'm learning so much. I have to admit I'm watching it out of order, but every video is full of gems! And your point about cycle syncing!? GOLDEN ✨
dang the whole "intension" section hit me so hard. I definitely am feeling the 'I'm not like these other TH-camrs so I should mold myself to be like them". Need to be more myself and my people will show up. Thank you for the encouragement and tips!
What I love most about this is the inside-out focus. Meaning, while you're giving tips based on your personal experiences, you're maintaining the message to the viewer of finding what works best for them based on personal factors, such as comfort and personal skills/knowledge. ❤🙌🏾 It's clear you have a ton of experience on this topic with the wide range of tips provided. I'm interested in the DJI Osmo Pocket for a series that I have where it's more of a casual talking head video. I've been using my iPhone on a mobile device stand, but the problem with this setup is it's not adjustable and it has a tilt, so I have to creatively use folded pieces of paper to get the angle right. It works, but can be frustrating in terms of consistency. The only thing I would need to do with the DJI is figure out how to sync it with my XLR mic. Shouldn't be too hard for me because I love the tech side of being a digital creator. haha
Heyo (: Idk if you already thought about that, but when studying Film & Motion Design in uni, we learned to clap your hands/snap fingers right after starting recording a new take on the camera and microphone (that's what the clapperboard in movie production is for btw). That way you can look at the audio wave of the microphone audio and video audio and see where it spikes, so you can align them. I find it makes syncing audio + video from two different sources super easy! Hope that helps (:
Thank you for all the great advice and insights. This is so valuable. Love your honesty and that you show the true behind the scenes. It helps so much with becoming more comfortable in front of the camera.
Thank you! You are very comfortable sharing your experience. It's great to listen to and I really needed such content right now. All the best from Europe - Poland:)
Omg after watching the whole video twice, I can say with certainty, this is the best how to youtube video I've seen. thank you so much, I've taken so many notes.
inspiring to see you grow. Thought you always had great tips but I find you so much more personable, relatable and authentic than ever before. You seem so much happier too!! ☺️Whenever I watch your vids now and behold your transformation, I think of a comment someone left on one of my videos the other day: “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” (Carl Jung)
Another great video! I’m a new creator and I’ve been putting pressure on myself to get my talking head off in one or limited takes but to see even you are making cuts and showing yourself grace helps me TREMENDOUSLY!! Thank you!! The DJI pocket 3 is also my favorite, I’ve been using it for my mansion tours and people think that I’m using some huge heavy pro camera, lol. Thanks again for being real! 🤗
Thanks Vanessa for making this video! Something that I struggle with as a content creator is putting pressure on myself to get my videos done at all costs. This has often lead to me getting exhausted. After watching this video I have learned that if I am struggling to get a video done I should either take a break and then try again to get it done later that day or another day. Thanks again Vanessa!
I really like this new and improved Vanessa. I feel you are more relatable which I kinda knew that already but your last few videos have confirmed this tremendously. I’m pretty sure we were soul sisters. ❤
Hi Vanessa, I really love the current you, you are a whole lot authentic now that it resonates so much to me. The way that you're showing behind the scenes where you stumble in speaking really makes me feel seen that everyone is experiencing it no matter how experienced they are in making content. Also the way you're telling us that making how to and wanting to be an expert makes you feel performative really resonates! I too feel like it's so performative once the camera is on, and really no one has been telling the same story as what I feel before you did. Thank you so much for your vulnerability, actually I have never commented on TH-cam before, but your authenticity really piques my heart to say this. I hope you know that you're growing well and I love the current you so much! Please keep posting the vulnerable side of you and be human. Thanks a lot, appreciating you so much.
Vanessa, I have been following you for a while and I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I’ve been struggling with self doubt and your videos have helped me a lot
I really love your videos! I just started watching them but I really love how you bring your own personality into the video💕 thank you for being so open and authentic🫶🏻
This is a really refreshing video with relatable and honest details that have a practical solution that can immediately be put into practice. Great work!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just came across your channel. Thank you for your transparency, and for sharing the honest reality of what happens behind the scenes. Overthinking things and seeking perfection is a dream killer. Your tips were practical and very helpful especially for new and unexperienced creators (like me) who just need the push to get started. Well done!
Thank you for this video! It felt so homey and actionable. Almost like a mini class or workshop. Your break away from TH-cam seems so essential to how you approach it now. I’ve been subscribed to you for years got lost in the middle during your coaching era where I didn’t click as much but I am happy to return to any video you post just based on how connected you seem to yourself right now. Also, your note to women on energy was top tier! I’m a mom of littles and wow trying to make a video is exhausting but your tips today feel so doable.
love the focus on how to be authentic on camera and what really matters. Love the behind the scenes what its like to film multiple clips to make it appear smooth. Also so happy ro included the women's cycle!
This is perfect timing! Making the switch to long-form content and had a ton of trouble feeling comfortable getting my point across on camera. This video literally answered all the questions I had about scripting/talking on camera!
Wow this is SO GOOD! Especially going into women's cycles 🤯 cannot believe I didn't consider this and filming is more strain than weights 🤯🤯 Thank you for sharing!!
This is so real and I truly appreciate the honesty in this particular video. I relate so much to a lot of the things you've mentioned like the stuttering and the low energy the week before my period (which I didn't realize was a thing and now will plan around my cycle!) I was feeling down thinking I wasn't made to do this, but knowing you too have similar struggles as me, I'm motivated to keep trying! Thank you so much for this series, it's really helpful in so many ways =)! Keep em coming!
Wow that's crazy. I've been thinking about how I should just empty my schedule a week before my period. I thought it could be a bit ridiculous I'm so glad someone else has been already implementing it!
I appreciate you, too, Vanessa. I started my journey lately, and I just want to be me with no filters. Emotional independence (no fear of judgment) is the key to sharing my journey with the world. I can tell when I am being authentic as the emotional state feels so grounded and I enjoy the time talking about the stories. I'm looking forward to the video editing episode.
This was very helpful. You are very organized. I am more of the grammar camera and repaired, kind of person, but that always leaves a lot to change. Not to mention, I understand burnout. Thank you for sharing this.
i think i missed the "delete the messed up clip" part of your tip about filming in sections the first time you gave it, but i caught it this time and i see the extreme time saving value in editing, totally gonna do this!
I like you display your sitting position and why. When you said I don’t no what iso means I laughed 😂 iso helps increase the brightness or low light that the video receives.

My favorite part is where to describe how you work with your prepared script to film your actual video. Thank you for this wealth of information.
Vanessa im just like you lol, that's exactly what works for me having the script on my phone and looking at the main points and film in chunks.
Thank you for sharing these! 💃
My favorite filming tip was one I learned from you a long time ago and you referenced it again in this video. It's the filming in chunks. You have NO idea how much time you saved me when recording. I used to record all in one sitting and it was a nightmare. I would dread recording until I learned about filming in chunks from you. The best advice ever!
Inserting a clip after the fact by filming with your iphone!! Instead of worrying about recreating the setup/look etc.... geniussss
Vanessa, have been a silent follower ever since you first started your channel and it’s been inspiring to see you grow.

This quote really hit me: "As an artist, if you like it that's ALL of the value." Do what you love!
Success on TH-cam comes from consistency, authenticity, and growth with every video. Stay focused, keep creating, and your breakthrough is just one upload away!
Your recent content is having such positive impact on how I’m approaching my TH-cam journey. Thanks for the insights and authenticity. ♥️
I’ve known you since you were a Sunny Lenarduzzi’s success case. It’s been a while, once in a while I stumble upon your videos and I love seeing how far you’ve come. ❤
oh wow this is new to me. glad to know that she was coached and not the prodigy that found this quick success all by herself..there is hope for us
@@gohgomakan Yeah, you can go to Sunny's website and her success case is still up there!
i appreciate that you added the clips of you stumbing, cause I always stubble in my videos when recording and in my head i'm like "how do people know what to say without needing a script or stumbling" or I have another thought "it should not take me an hour to record a 15 minute video I need to get better at not stumbling."

This is crazy! I do literally everything you're doing here with some changes - I edit the script by watching back rather than reading, I repeat the same phrases to get it right / get what I want. I also edit bits in later, and - wait for it - I even have the same comfort pose with the SAME leg underneath me 😂

It's nice to have a pretty teacher like you! I listen to everything with a slightly open and smily face :face-red-heart-shape:
Your YT series is better than the expensive courses! More up to date to! I love your style and friendly vibe.
Girl you're so real for dropping the period tracking and the anecdote about hormonal bc and no periods whatever- hit the damn nail on the head and love to hear similar stories out of the blue like in this video. share the awareness! 🫶 love your videos!

@CLNSL8 Thank you. I have subbed to you as well.🙂
Hey Vanessa, Descript is the best! Thank you so much for introducing this resource. I usually delete the filler words manually in Final Cut, but this makes it so much easier. Absolutely love this find!
You go deep! Even talking about monthly body changes. I like that.
Thank you for this video! I love your authenticity!
I just started posting on any sort of social media about 2 months back, and i really wish to get to your level of production and authenticity some day - and of course have fun while doing so!
There's sooo much good info in this. Thank you for sharing! Especially cycle syncing and just being aware of how much energy filming takes.
i adore that you spoke about syncing your cycle to filming!! the major self-criticism and questioning of all life choices in luteal phase does not help filming at all haha

I’ve been slowly growing my TH-cam and these videos are so good in giving so many ideas and avenues on how to improve ! Thank you!
This is SUCH an amazing video!! Thank you for being SO real and authentic!! Girl you are my FAVV
Oh my god. This video is making me feel SO MUCH BETTER about me stumbling all over the place when I make videos, to the point that I keep questioning whether I'm cut out for this or not.
Not only your scripting and filming method sounds amazing and like they can take so much of the pressure off (right now I'm using only my memory of what I want to say when filming), but seeing that you also struggle with this while your videos are so polished really gave me a boost.
Thank you! It's the first time I see one of your videos but I'll subscribe now. Genuinely helpful stuff.
Hey Vanessa I'm a new subscriber🙋🏻♀ just wanted to say that I really vibe with your authentic self! I love that so many creators are focusing on being authentic and just being themselves, it really does resonate much more on an emotional level. I'm going through my own journey of deconditioning from people pleasing and fear of being seen, and you're an inspiration 💚 keep being you girl💚 .
Can I just say I appreciate your newer videos so much. Even though beginners can watch them they’re also helpful for people mid way through their TH-cam journey like me.
I'm so grateful I found you. I could just burst into tears at how seen/ heard you make me feel. Especially knowing that you went on a journey where you quit and came back with these teachings to share with us. Thank you SO MUCH, Vanessa.
Im loving the way you pivoted and how even more authentic your videos and topics have been! Informative as always ❤ so beautiful
the fact you took into consideration the cycle syncing - wow. I am actually feeling so understood and relieved to have this considered in scheduling. Thankyou for your wisdom Vanessa! ❤
Loved this video so much! I am a health coach and have been thinking of making videos in addition to my blog to help others learn, and be more healthy. Decided today was the day I would dive into learning how to make videos. I chose yours because of your warm smile!
Invaluable info, just watched this for the 3rd time to take notes.
You have a talent for teaching and being relatable and I’m thankful to have found you! I’ve already watched 4 other videos of yours also! ❤❤ ❤
Love this approach!!! Thanks for sharing this Vanessa!
All these tips are GOLD. Thanks Vanessa for sharing such comprehensive and insightful tips. There are so many points that I resonated a lot and reflected myself to improve next time when I film. Keep going girl! You're doing sooooo good xx
You really give the best advice, I just found your channel a few days ago and your advice has made more sense to me than anyone else's. Going to watch a lot more of your videos!
Girl this video is a GEMMMMMMMM!!! I'm so glad you are sharing the detailed process of filming videos. I hope creators really take the time to watch and process everything you shared today because you broke it down perfectly!
I'm on a TH-cam break at the moment but I am looking to transition out of "how to" and do more "How I" Content. I also like that you showed your different filming locations being in the same room but in different spots because that's something I wont to play around with for my future videos as well. Thanks girly!
I loved that you said we are only seeing the "final product". This is so true. It's all a process. Must remember that.
I just wanna thank you for all of the valuable info and applaud you for being so good at what you do. I’ve been doing soooo much research on what makes a great TH-cam video, how to grow, how to incorporate affiliate marketing, how to speak/lock in the audience, etc. and GIRL. YOU HIT THEM ALL!!! I’m amazed. I’m not only going to be watching your videos for the content, but also to study how you do everything so flawlessly and hit EVERY mark! You’re killin it queen🙌🏼👏🏼💕
Love this SERIES approach! It's like I'm waiting for new episodes like I did from my fav TV show. Love you, Vanessa!
P.S. Adore your bangs!
Your videos are literally like a therapy for me. They are educational, yet they are so comforting and soothing to watch. Thank you for being you and sharing your experience with us. I would love to get your take on how to film vlogs more naturally too. Thank you !
Thank you for this series! I'm learning so much. I have to admit I'm watching it out of order, but every video is full of gems! And your point about cycle syncing!? GOLDEN ✨
dang the whole "intension" section hit me so hard. I definitely am feeling the 'I'm not like these other TH-camrs so I should mold myself to be like them". Need to be more myself and my people will show up. Thank you for the encouragement and tips!
What I love most about this is the inside-out focus. Meaning, while you're giving tips based on your personal experiences, you're maintaining the message to the viewer of finding what works best for them based on personal factors, such as comfort and personal skills/knowledge. ❤🙌🏾 It's clear you have a ton of experience on this topic with the wide range of tips provided. I'm interested in the DJI Osmo Pocket for a series that I have where it's more of a casual talking head video. I've been using my iPhone on a mobile device stand, but the problem with this setup is it's not adjustable and it has a tilt, so I have to creatively use folded pieces of paper to get the angle right. It works, but can be frustrating in terms of consistency. The only thing I would need to do with the DJI is figure out how to sync it with my XLR mic. Shouldn't be too hard for me because I love the tech side of being a digital creator. haha
Heyo (: Idk if you already thought about that, but when studying Film & Motion Design in uni, we learned to clap your hands/snap fingers right after starting recording a new take on the camera and microphone (that's what the clapperboard in movie production is for btw). That way you can look at the audio wave of the microphone audio and video audio and see where it spikes, so you can align them. I find it makes syncing audio + video from two different sources super easy! Hope that helps (:
Thank you for all the great advice and insights. This is so valuable. Love your honesty and that you show the true behind the scenes. It helps so much with becoming more comfortable in front of the camera.
I love watching your videos! It makes me feel I have a friend who's accompanying me on this whole TH-cam journey!!
Thank you! You are very comfortable sharing your experience. It's great to listen to and I really needed such content right now. All the best from Europe - Poland:)
just the 2 first minutes of this video have been really worth it. thanks!
Omg after watching the whole video twice, I can say with certainty, this is the best how to youtube video I've seen. thank you so much, I've taken so many notes.
inspiring to see you grow. Thought you always had great tips but I find you so much more personable, relatable and authentic than ever before. You seem so much happier too!! ☺️Whenever I watch your vids now and behold your transformation, I think of a comment someone left on one of my videos the other day: “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” (Carl Jung)
Another great video! I’m a new creator and I’ve been putting pressure on myself to get my talking head off in one or limited takes but to see even you are making cuts and showing yourself grace helps me TREMENDOUSLY!! Thank you!! The DJI pocket 3 is also my favorite, I’ve been using it for my mansion tours and people think that I’m using some huge heavy pro camera, lol. Thanks again for being real! 🤗
This was SO helpful. I never thought about proximity or comfort or how to dress for energy. I'm excited to record my 3rd video with your tips in mind!
I loveeeee how you're talking about cycle syncing!!
Thanks Vanessa for making this video! Something that I struggle with as a content creator is putting pressure on myself to get my videos done at all costs. This has often lead to me getting exhausted. After watching this video I have learned that if I am struggling to get a video done I should either take a break and then try again to get it done later that day or another day. Thanks again Vanessa!
I really like this new and improved Vanessa. I feel you are more relatable which I kinda knew that already but your last few videos have confirmed this tremendously. I’m pretty sure we were soul sisters. ❤
Hi Vanessa, I really love the current you, you are a whole lot authentic now that it resonates so much to me. The way that you're showing behind the scenes where you stumble in speaking really makes me feel seen that everyone is experiencing it no matter how experienced they are in making content. Also the way you're telling us that making how to and wanting to be an expert makes you feel performative really resonates! I too feel like it's so performative once the camera is on, and really no one has been telling the same story as what I feel before you did. Thank you so much for your vulnerability, actually I have never commented on TH-cam before, but your authenticity really piques my heart to say this. I hope you know that you're growing well and I love the current you so much! Please keep posting the vulnerable side of you and be human. Thanks a lot, appreciating you so much.
Vanessa, I have been following you for a while and I can’t thank you enough for these videos. I’ve been struggling with self doubt and your videos have helped me a lot
jam packed with tips! syncing my schedule to my period is honestly a mindblowing revelation. thankyou!!
This was so realistic. Thanks for showing us your mistakes because it definitely resonated with me and made me feel better!
I really love your videos! I just started watching them but I really love how you bring your own personality into the video💕
thank you for being so open and authentic🫶🏻
These are definitely pro tips, but are still so human. ❤ it!
This is a really refreshing video with relatable and honest details that have a practical solution that can immediately be put into practice. Great work!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just came across your channel. Thank you for your transparency, and for sharing the honest reality of what happens behind the scenes. Overthinking things and seeking perfection is a dream killer. Your tips were practical and very helpful especially for new and unexperienced creators (like me) who just need the push to get started. Well done!
Thank you for sharing your honesty and tips! Your videos are always encouraging to watch!
Thank you for this video! It felt so homey and actionable. Almost like a mini class or workshop.
Your break away from TH-cam seems so essential to how you approach it now. I’ve been subscribed to you for years got lost in the middle during your coaching era where I didn’t click as much but I am happy to return to any video you post just based on how connected you seem to yourself right now.
Also, your note to women on energy was top tier! I’m a mom of littles and wow trying to make a video is exhausting but your tips today feel so doable.
It's nice to have a pretty teacher like you! I listen to everything with a slightly open and smily face
love the focus on how to be authentic on camera and what really matters. Love the behind the scenes what its like to film multiple clips to make it appear smooth. Also so happy ro included the women's cycle!
This is perfect timing! Making the switch to long-form content and had a ton of trouble feeling comfortable getting my point across on camera. This video literally answered all the questions I had about scripting/talking on camera!
Wow this is SO GOOD! Especially going into women's cycles 🤯 cannot believe I didn't consider this and filming is more strain than weights 🤯🤯
Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for speaking to how we all feel! Subbing. 💗
Vannesa, i have to tell you thank you so so much!! For inspiring me and sharing so many tips that means so much for me ❤️ for us thank you again!
Brilliant! These are the things I have been trying to figure out during my 10-month YT journey. Thanks for the video!
This is so real and I truly appreciate the honesty in this particular video. I relate so much to a lot of the things you've mentioned like the stuttering and the low energy the week before my period (which I didn't realize was a thing and now will plan around my cycle!) I was feeling down thinking I wasn't made to do this, but knowing you too have similar struggles as me, I'm motivated to keep trying! Thank you so much for this series, it's really helpful in so many ways =)! Keep em coming!
Wow that's crazy. I've been thinking about how I should just empty my schedule a week before my period. I thought it could be a bit ridiculous I'm so glad someone else has been already implementing it!
I appreciate you, too, Vanessa. I started my journey lately, and I just want to be me with no filters. Emotional independence (no fear of judgment) is the key to sharing my journey with the world. I can tell when I am being authentic as the emotional state feels so grounded and I enjoy the time talking about the stories. I'm looking forward to the video editing episode.
good point on how to record you doing a great job
This was very helpful. You are very organized. I am more of the grammar camera and repaired, kind of person, but that always leaves a lot to change. Not to mention, I understand burnout. Thank you for sharing this.
i think i missed the "delete the messed up clip" part of your tip about filming in sections the first time you gave it, but i caught it this time and i see the extreme time saving value in editing, totally gonna do this!
I like you display your sitting position and why. When you said I don’t no what iso means I laughed 😂 iso helps increase the brightness or low light that the video receives.
I´m not even half way through yet and already gotten soooo much value 🙌🏽🙏🏽💖
This video was nothing short of a joy to watch! X
Thank you so much for this video Vanessa. It’s very helpful, especially about understanding women’s cycle and how it affects how we work as women.
