This not only helps when you're vlogging, but also for communication in general, and even public speaking.

"Making vlog for ourselves" - that's the most easiest practice I can do. Thanks for the idea.

[@JD_Playtime]

You've got no idea how much this helped me. Thanks so much man! Love your videos by the way! Keep them coming! :)

When I speak in front of a camera I sound so boring and awkward. Even when I’m not even recording yet, I’m just reciting my lines 😂

4 years ago and still relevant! Started vlogging only 3 weeks ago because of lockdown/quarantine. Thanks for sharing! Will definitely try vlogging daily at a personal level without uploading it so that I can be better at talking infront of the camera. Cheers!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Personal vlogs that is a great idea, thank you.

[@romarioballoon7319]

When I talk to people directly over the phone or to their face I am like a shining star! Infact I can talk to an audience having multiple people confidently while making sense... HOWEVER, when there is a camera in front of me I loose all my words...

[@elliotbrown1439]

Cheers for the vid, your content has been huge for building my own online confidence! keep it up and keep sharing your journey pal!

[@mertmehmed6696]

Amazing video, concise and on point. Your skills seem to have improved a lot. Me speaking in front of a camera I tend to stretch things a lot and talk more having said less and express myself in weird ways. The most annoying mistake is when I flow and flow and then I stop trying to think of how to say something, especially because English is a second language to me. But I notice I've been getting better, too, which is inspiring :) Will probably try the 90 days, too

[@aezy8456]

Thank you, I appreciate this video alot. My friends have been saying that i look like i don't know what i wanna say in my videos. So i searched up and found this video, thankfully. I'll have to practice more i guess. Thank you so much once again! (:

[@mathildaandmike]

Thank you for the advice this is so so helpful! A video journal is such an excellent idea!

[@egrain420]

I am about to launch my channel about thriving with mental illness. Even tho I found you to help myself do better on my first video... I want to share the video with my viewers because of the video log idea and just because we (mentally ill people) often have social anxiety and communication challenges. I actually think we can benefit in many ways from the advice you have given. Thank you!

[@chefkuyajoey]

Thanks for the tips! I am strugling a bit but decided just to vlog more often and progress over time, starting to like the process 😊

[@Rimesh_Maskey]

Great Tips* btw 👏👏

[@delftsurgery4258]

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for the fabulous review, I use PPT slides in a teleprompter using an iPad and ppt-mirror.com tool to mirror-flip the slides and leads me while speaking, I look more natural on camera and keep eye contact with audience without a worry of memorizing lines, I always have whole concept in mind, it's easy and saves time by only using bullet points.

[@Mcgeee]

When it comes to your business, do you do a lot of reaching out to brands / companies asking to work together or do they generally come to you?

[@RachelRoseEstrebilla]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Great practical tips that can be applied in any setting. This was such a big help. Keep it up!

[@neerajpal5343]

[@UnbreakableHonor]

Hey bro I have no problem talking and everything but I often screen record well researching stocks and more "umms" come out than I'd like and I'm not even conscious of it.
Any advice to get rid of the umms?
Great video by the thanks 👍👍👍

[@BreakyourboundariesTv]

Awesome tips man...it certainly is awkward talking on camera at first, but practice is everything!

[@T2GudzVlog]

this video is helpful, i need more practice to get better in speaking on camera..

[@Sunny_in_London]

Hi there! I love your videos and always watch the day you publish. In a recent video you showed one of your videos within your video and a viewer could click on a link to it. When I search 'embed video in TH-cam video', I can only find how to embed videos in websites, which I already know how to do. Can you suggest a link that explains how to do this feature in TH-cam? It doesn't seem like something that you would do in editing software. Cheers!

[@susmita303]

Thank you for your advice helped a lot. Trying to make a dental education video on my youtube channel.

[@ammadkhan2352]

So the Key Things about talking to the camera is just talking to the camera, Record it and watch yourself, count your mistakes and repeat the process and in the process remember your past mistakes and try to avoid them this time.
After dozens of these practices, I am sure you 'll be able to Present yourself to your Audience much better.

I noticed, that around 20% of the video you were looking elsewhere.. we do that usually when we think.. quite normal. Do you reckon it’s a good practice? Or would you rather look at the camera at all times?
