When are you going to make your first video?
You are awesome! Love your tips. I never knew what the bell was for until this video. ~~~ I'll make a video Monday 9-14-2020 . I have plans for the weekend and might not have time before then.
Today!!! Thank you!! Your videos are so helpful!
Now
I’m not really sure..
First one was last Sunday. Second one is next Sunday. Thanks to you, I believe the next one will be much better than the first! Grateful for all your help!
I’ve 82 videos up so far, 131 subscribers since end of September 2020. Slow & steady is my mojo. Trying to up my game each week. My last 4 videos have had great traction/ viral for me
OMG! GIA!! I'm so Inspired! I've been saying "One day I'm going to start a TH-cam channel"... FOR YEARS! So... Today I'm saying... I'll upload 100 videos by the end of the year!! Thanks, girl!
I really needed to hear your encouraging words!
I started my little group on Facebook during covid because I wanted to teach my daughter-in-law and her friends some cooking basics.
It was In my house, but again during covid, they said make us a video so we can continue.
I think it's about 6 months now and I've made almost 200 of them, and was talked into making my Facebook group public, and posting them on TH-cam as well.
I get so nervous and hoping I don't get criticized! But it's just me and my house, and I have a lot of good tips and tricks for those who are seasoned cooks and also beginners especially!
Here's where you really helped me... I wasn't getting a lot of feedback, and I didn't think that's why I was making the videos... However, when I wasn't getting it I wondered was I doing it okay or were people not likeing them. I know, I was all in my head about it and I didn't think I would be.
The last part that you talked about, about just plotting on really spoke to me!!
I get encouragement from my husband and my kids of course, but after hearing you I'm going to say heck with it... I'm just going to keep doing it. Cooking in my house whatever is for dinner, because yep I do make some yummy food. Haha! I'm going to continue and watch all your other videos because goodness knows I only use an iPad and I'm new to that. Thank you, I think you're darling And you're very clear in your delivery which is so helpful to so many! God bless you dear! 💕
I don't even wear glasses, and I listened to your entire presentation on wearing them with videos! You are FUN, REAL, and I am inspired in my own beginning video plans by yours! Thank you, thank you, thank you--from a non-techy 78+ year old!
I enjoyed the video you should consider becoming a motivation speaker
Gia, when you talk about "authenticity", you said "I have a big personality, a little goofy" (paraphrased), but your "personality" comes across SO WELL on video. Part of this is your ability to use your facial expressions, "speak" with your hands. I'm not sure "everybody" would view you on camera & respond like I do, but I think most people would. You demonstrate beautifully how to grab the viewers eye, and keep them interested and focused on what you're saying.
Before watching this video, I'd NEVER have considered doing videos on my personal areas of expertise--ICU Nursing skills--but you even make me want to consider that (I'd have to figure out how to do it in light of HIPAA privacy regulations, but I could probably find patients happy to participate, and how to get around that, idk). Point being, you "sold" me on an idea I'd never have come up with on my own with your enthusiasm that comes across on camera!
ENTHUSIASM--That's what comes through from watching you. I can't help but want to critique, because you're so good at conveying that, and If I'd like to be able to do the same!
I'm starting new job interviews, which is why I'm watching your videos. I normally "interview well", but with COVID, we're doing things so differently. I know you're not ""an interview expert", but I'd love to see some videos on "On Camera Interview Skills" from you. You'd also be a heck of a "Motivational Speaker", or just good to watch helping people pull out of "Social Distancing Funk"--I feel inspired watching & listening to you, and will put things you say--as well as things I'm OBSERVING on these videos to good use in interviews.
If nothing else--you've shown me how to get beyond feeling "afraid" or insecure in front of a camera. I hope I can take this and transfer it to good interview skills on camera, more similar to my confidence level in person. It's so hard to get a sense of a "personal connection" on camera without the good handshake, without observing and commenting on a personal item in a prospective employers office, without that direct eye contact person to person. I feel like you manage to immediately make and hold that feeling of connection with your viewers. A big part of it is your body language & facial expressiveness. I'm so impressed!!
I totally agree!
Absolutely, I watch a lot of videos and I always sit up a little straighter and smile when you start speaking. Thanks!
I actually paused this video, recorded and posted my first video, then came back to finish this. :)
It's inspiring to see someone that looks like me making these types of videos. Thank you.
For now I'm just going to say that I'm so glad I came across your TH-cam channel. Loving all your content!
You are empowering Gia!!! Thank you for creating and posting.
My favorite thing! I’m a journalism student and have to be out there in a certain way but I’m really shy and anxious. This is helping me a lot! Thank you, Gia!
In this video, I've learned a lot of things and it makes me feel more confident now after watching and listening. Thank you for sharing good words it helps a lot for people who lost confidence.
I cannot express how grateful i feel about your content.
Love your content. I'm an attorney that was forced onto Zoom to try cases. Talk about pressure! Thanks for being techy and friendly to us who are not!!!
I found you looking for tips for a great recorded video interview, and I just want to let you know that I LOVE your videos, and I can definitely use these tips for my purpose, even though they aren't exactly what you intended. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Thanks soooo much!
You're very inspirational. You actually had me looking for space in my small apartment to set up my video space. My video date is one week from today. I need some equipment.
Hell yes! Thank you, Gia!
The video using these strategies will be posted Thursday, June 24, 2021 It will be about Decision Fatigue. I have an outline but need to record it. Glad to use these strategies with it.
Love this! made my day! Thanks, Gia!
Omg I’m so glad I found you!! Your a amazing!! Thank you!!!
Thank you! I'm breaking out of the woodwork and your tips and motivation are inspiring me to move forward and not give up!
Starting today - love the video
I made 3 videos thus far...this is what I needed. To know that I have to work for that confident me!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you very much for sharing. Very good information.
I just discovered your videos this evening while prepping for my job interview (via Zoom) tomorrow. You are so delightful! Your motivation, helpful tips & exuberant energy are truly inspiring me to be more confident. Thank you so much and keep doing what you're doing because you're helping so many of us! :)
Hey Gia, I recently started my TH-cam channel and I've discovered yours just in time! Thanks so much for this video and all of your amazing content! :)
Making my first video tomorrow! Thank your videos have given me the template I need.
Already making videos but did not have a clue how to make them better. Thanks.
i am so glad that I have find you: your speed talking is so different from teaching and so great, creative and you give me impulses !
Thank you, Gia! Great video. I'm going to make one later this week. I've done a lot of video interacting with folks -- Q&As, etc -- but talking directly to the camera solo is trickier.
Excellent tips! Thank you! Love your style!
You are a queen! Thank you for this empowering video!
I’ll happylucky take that. 👸🏽thank you for crowing me 💋
Thanks Gia! This is so informative & empowering!!
Oh yay! Thanks so much for saying so. I’m so glad those tips resonated!!!
You are lovely--thank you for your tips! It is so hard to start and that’s where I am at. This week is the week!! Thank you Gia!
Thank You Gia. You just inspired me! i have been nervous creating my first in-person video
1st Gia Video.... Gia, you’re AWESOME because you are down to 🌍 and teaching others to be the same! 🔥
I have already posted my first video, but now I have some better guidelines for my next one! Thanks for just being you!
That's intriguing...Confidence comes last...I like that. I adore that you are so authentic and so transparent! Even the little things like telling us that it's okay to have an outline and then not editing out the part where you look down at your notes directly following... It's those little nuances for me 😍
Gia, I'm so happy i found your video! I have a super non traditional virtual interview coming up and this is exactly what i was looking for. They want me to make a 5 minute presentation during the 20 minute virtual interview teaching how to do something ( havent chosen the topic yet). I've been through so many of your videos (lighting, make up and confidence) and you have helped me so very much!! You are so smart and amazing! I have 10 days to get ready. So I will practice and be authentic!
Thank you for your information
Thank you, I needed this kicked in the butt!!
Oh you are so welcome! I’m so glad it resonated. What videos are you wanting to make?
@@Gia.Goodrich I've been working on getting my channel, but I sort of fell off the wagon the last month. Because of your inspiritional message I will upload a new video this week!! Thanks
Thanks for the tips
I made my first video a few weeks ago (and a couple more since then) and it's true, I DID learn a ton by doing it! More than I could have learned from any amount of reading and research. Thank you for this super inspirational how-to. I expect I'll revisit it regularly when I need a pep talk. :)
Oh congratulations Meredith that's awesome! You're so right, there's so much to learn in the doing and it only gets more comfortable from here. I'm glad you're out there doing it. Send me a link and I'll take a watch ✨
@@Gia.Goodrich*squees with joy* Okay so this is my first official TH-cam video, and thank you for expressing interest! th-cam.com/video/VHo2eUAzd7c/w-d-xo.html
And for anyone who might be reading this, when I say I learned more from making a video than I would have by reading up on the process, I mean personal things like "Oh hey apparently when I'm nervous I click my tongue before each new sentence, I need to try not to do that." No book or website is gonna tell me that. I had to film myself and see.
So my online persona is probably kinda awkward for now but I'm constantly working on improving. :P
love this
WOW! Love your ENERGY, PASSION and SINCERITY that jumps through the screen. Thank you. This video is perfect timing for me. Start where you are, 1 to 100. I commit to make my first TH-cam video on Monday, January 4, 2021. Thank you again, GIA! ❤️
What an awesome video....finding it a year down the line but perfect timing for me and acknowledging what I need to do to get going with my own videos - thank you for sharing your positivity and great advice ☺️
Starting today 4/22/22! Thanks BUNCHES!!!
Great Job Gia! Love your energy and genuine presentation! Such helpful great tips!!! Thank you!
Thankyou so much for this video!
Thank you - very helpful!
The race to 100! I love this concept. Thank you Gia!!
Excellent!!
Thank you for the inspiration! I've just started making videos for my business Facebook page and although they're far from perfect, I'm learning every day! I'm definitely the tortoise because I take things sort of slowly but just keep going!
Gia, I just discovered your channel, I love it. You are smart, relevant and informative, among all the other awesome things you project in your videos. Thumbs up girl!
Hi there Gia! Just wanted to tell you that your video is so inspiring that even someone who is doing videos just for fun once in a while, is thinking "yeah man, I'm gonna be a youtuber!".
Thank you for your video tips. I found them really helpful. I am an Realtor who has been planning to do videos for two years, however I didn't have the confidence to do until now. I did one and then I found you and I don't think that I did so well. The camera was up, my head was down and I am not looking at the camera because I am reading my notes. I really liked your energy and seeing you be yourself gave me more confidence that I could do it too. Although, I have been a teacher, instructing many people there was something about making videos that scared me. I have had to build up my confidence for this new frontier and I am a little older so just jumping on video was not part of my upbringing. However, I declared that this is the year to do weekly and post it, so I did one which wasn't so good and then I found your tips and feel more confident that I can do it. I need to relax. Thanks again!🙃
AAAAGH! You make it so simple. Thank you Gia! Great video and very comforting :)
I know this video is old but I needed to hear this ! Thank you !
I love this. Would love to learn how to edit my zoom recordings!
wow thank you!!! this was so helpful! I will film a video next week on friday :)
Oh amazing I love it! If you send it my way I’ll be happy to take a look ❤️
Thank you Gia. Today I will make my first video.
Your videos are so helpful and you are beautiful. Thank you so much for your videos.
Great video. Ty so much!
great tips!
You have amazing energy! I love it!!!
You're so helpful and adorable! Thank you!
I'm going to make my first video tomorrow. I am planning and practicing today! Lets go!
This was really helpful!! I'm supposed to make videos for the local library, reading stories for preschoolers. Sounds simple, but I've been filled with uncertainty. I love your defiinition of confidence..."trusting in the process to produce the results" (I'm going to use that with my piano students"). I took your advice and took notes. Will keep them in a prominent place and keep reviewing. Making my first video today.
Hello, Gia. This was great content! Thank you!
Sooooo encouraging! Thank you. Making a video TODAY!
I’m so glad! Send the link when you have I’m happy to watch!
@@Gia.Goodrich OK Gia... I finally got it edited. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/No2YiEC_Zrs/w-d-xo.html Your support is greatly appreciated.
NEXT WEEK!! Inspiring
You are amazing ! Yes I am going to make a video Thanks
Thanks ,this was very helpful.😊
I watched your video on Zoom lighting, now I watched this one, pretty unusual for me. Very useful tips and personal philosophy. Fabulous presentation. Going to revised my Zoom location and send to my daughters. Thanks.
Do your thing Gia...I am proud of you kid. I am learning lots...keep up the good work!
Love your work & love U
Hi Gia! I made a video a few weeks ago for Facebook and today made two for youtube. They are not super but at least they are done :) thanks for your encouragement.
Actually I made some 8 years ago but didn't make it public. Here is one I did today: th-cam.com/video/0Ai6U3BRhHk/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video! Informative, organized.
I love your energy. I will record my 1st video in 4days time.
You are fabulous! I love your sharing regarding confidence. I will video daily.
What stops me is back ground. Is there something I can just hang behind me to cover wall that will look good? It's way wall busy but great lighting.
Hi Dyanna! I’m so glad you found it helpful. I totally understand, what I’ve done before is go to the fabric store and find a fabric that will work in the background and generally a thicker one that’s wrinkle resistant is better. Buy 2-3 yards And then tack it up on the wall behind you. It’s a really great tactic that actually a lot of beauty TH-camrs use that can make the quality of your video really stand out!
Gia, just spent a week working on four video's. They suck, LOL! I am going to use your tips and focus on shorter video's, shifting my focus and Plan/Prep more. Thank you!!!
Wow, I just came across this and I'm so glad I did. This is always been a struggle for me, I have one video on TH-cam, a few on FB and IG. I even started doing reels. I just hate the way I look on camera but I'm slowly starting to change my focus. I have been tryna do weekly videos since November then I had to take a break in Jan and Feb. But now I'm back and I did my first comeback video today since last year 2021. I'm now approaching this differently and I absolutely love your tips, I would love to talk about how much you helped me in my next video or story if that's ok. I think there must be a reason I came across your channel. I already subscribed and will be watching your videos. Thank you again for this valuable info 🥰
My first video will be on the 16th July. I'm super excited about it
I will make my own video on the 05/15/22. Thanks for the motivations and delightful lessons
Thank you for your very uplifting confident suggestions that is so needed in this pandemic era!
wow! thanks heaps! you are amazing! I did a few videos this year! I will practice your tips to improve ;-) Xx
I am seriously benj-watching your videos and it all started with the one about wearing glasses!! Thank you so much for encouraging us to be ourselves and to improve our skills with each and every video! I am committed to one blog post and one corresponding video per week. I am sure I will fail (including this week - agh!!!!) but I will pick up and move on and create the following week!!
Your video was very helpful! Very clear and nice to watch. AThank you Gia!
This is really great Gia! I'm starting a new channel where I will be talking and giving tutorials, which scares the hell out of me. These tips really help me reframe my mindset and approach to this because this introvert is terrified of talking.. I'll sing and play music all day long, but talking!? I can do this! (I think). haha
Hi again - I'm sharing your videos with my daughter, who is scheduled for her senior photos later in the summer. Your tips are *gold* -- thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, experience, and talent. I admire you very much. :)
Gia! You are so real & likable! Thank you for making these videos! They are so clear, down to earth and easy to understand! Yep I’m a subscriber! 👍🏼
I’m going to start making videos(even if I don’t post them right away)! It’s scary, it’s not comfortable but after watching your video I love how you say don’t think of your audience as being 50 - think of it as speaking to one of your very dear friends! And don’t bother with how many likes you have- just keep plugging away!! I’m a tortoise not a hare! 😊👍🏼
I learned so much from your video's. Thank you a million times.
Hi Gia 👋. My first videos are for friends and family consumption. Greetings and documenting instructions are quick and simple but singing for a Birthday performance took me about 50 takes. That Birthday singing was really a testing and learning time - lighting, sound quality, and most specially how to improve my singing 😅. ❤ your tips.
Not sure what made TH-cam put you in my recommendeds this morning but I really needed some of your videos. You're awesome! Thank you.
Hands down one of the best on this topic 🔥🙏🏽
thanks a million... yu gave me a huge push :)
I am going to make a video- tomorrow!! I am going to plan, prep and practice. And I'm going to keep doing it! Thanks for your encouragement and tips!!
