Hello, welcome to the computers with ease podcast where we talk about everything related to audio and video, and today I wanted to talk about something that happens to all of us. The on camera jitters.

I know when I first started doing video I was extremely nervous and didn’t like the way I looked on camera or sounded, and I thought today I would give you five tips that would help when you are shooting your video and your feeling uncomfortable on camera.

The first tip I have is make sure that you breathe. It does calm you down and makes your finished product on camera look much better.

Have notes in some form, if that’s what works for you. I know some people are better if they just wing it, so whatever works for you do it that way. Just make sure if you are going to have notes that their off-camera and that you not holding onto them because that may cause some shaking sounds with the paper. I myself have my notes for this podcast in front of me on the desk.

Another tip that I have is practice. You may have to shoot the video two or three times and look at them to see which is the best, it can often take more than one attempt to get the video just right.

Another tip is find a location for shooting your video that has a nice non-distracting background and somewhere that your comfortable being because the more comfortable you are, the better you going to come across on the video itself.

The last tip that I have for you is relax and be yourself on video you want to come across as the person you are and that will be much better for your business and your clients that you are trying to work with.

Back in October I had done a poll on Facebook about were people comfortable on camera, and to my surprise quite a few people said that they weren’t comfortable.
