How to Get Comfortable on Camera for YouTube.

One of the biggest problems I see YouTubers facing when they're starting a new channel is they get nervous on camera and trust me, we're not alone one of the biggest struggles, this blog I'm gonna show you exactly how to push your show you can start growing your YouTube channel highly content creators. My name is Ryan Walsh and in the blog is my youtube Journey experience. (How to Gain More Subscribers)

We're all about mastering growth and monetization on YouTube so we can take control of our lives. Camera competence is something that I personally have struggled with since I first started YouTube and something that I still struggled with now,

I struggled to make those videos I had to go and film them at least two or three times and you think with someone like me that's had over 400 videos posted on YouTube.

You think I never get nervous on camera, but that's not true at all because I sometimes avoid filming just because I'm nervous about one particular video and how it's going to come across to you guys.

Or if I'm being extremely transparent. It's really tough to reveal some things to you guys and honestly, it's something that you just have to push past and get over sometimes.

I mean, you can see literally the last couple of months with me. I've been a lot more consistent with uploading videos. And I will say even though some videos here and there I've had to film two or three times the majority of the videos that I do film I feel pretty confident on camera and I don't mind being on camera and I actually look forward to filming.

However, there are going to be times and I think every YouTuber is going to face this where there are some videos where you are just a little more nervous to film rather than the other ones,

Tip No.1 For (You can Get Comfortable on Camera.)

The first tip, I made sure that I had a ton of videos on my channel just because I really wanted to film a lot of videos and get used to being on camera again.

I've been filming one video a week recently and honestly that hasn't really gotten me back into the gist of filming all the time and being competent on camera or being just comfortable on camera. I'm somebody that needs to build a lot of different videos.

So that's why I've been uploading more videos every single week about to every single week because I want to make sure that I'm not only putting out a lot of content for you,

but also I want to make sure that I am being more confident on camera and getting more comfortable being on camera because I know that's extremely important. And I want to make sure that any time that I personally try to procrastinate on a video or I'm a little scared of basically getting on camera,

I want to literally get rid of that out of my mind. I want to be so comfortable that I can turn on a camera whenever and I will be completely comfortable. I want to get to that level because I know that's when I'm going to be more efficient with my upload schedules.

And if you're just starting a YouTube channel, that's what you really need to do or if you're someone that is a seasoned YouTuber and you're just not feeling it on camera recently, build a lot of videos even if a lot of these videos aren't going to be posted on your channel. That's totally okay.

Honestly, I think at the end of the day, practice makes perfect. And that's why you just need to show up and you need to really just film a lot of videos. If you're just starting a YouTube channel. I honestly would have a goal of hitting two or maybe three videos a week. Now obviously maybe just one is going to be posted on your channel.

However, those other two videos like I just said before, should be videos that are just used as practice for yourself. You can even just have one video idea it just films it three different times and just tries to get the best take out of all of them and put that on your channel. Honestly,

I think that's probably the best way to do it. I also think it's really important to understand that the first 2550 or even 100 videos, most likely your first 100 videos are going to absolutely suck and that's okay.

You can literally go and look at any YouTube or you can even go back to my early channel web head you can look at my first 250 videos and you can see that the majority of them sucked because I had no idea what I was doing. It was the first time I was basically being on camera and I was just uploading a ton of videos.

And you can just see that over time my videos did get better, and you have to have those sucky videos at the start. Because if you don't have those sucky videos, then you're not going to know how to improve your content. You're literally just going to be stagnant on your channel.

So you have to upload a ton at the beginning in my opinion, just because you have to get comfortable on camera.

#Tip No. 2 For (You can Get Comfortable on Camera.)

Tip number two and I mentioned this before, but film your videos multiple times. If you film your videos multiple times, most of the time you're going to know exactly what to expect. The second or third time of filming that video.

This is why I took the time to film these two videos twice or even three times is because I knew that I was a little nervous about filming them.

However, at the end of the day, I knew if I went through my outline, and I basically just filmed it once then I knew exactly what to expect the second time, and then the third time I did it perfectly.

And I knew exactly what I was doing. So that's what a lot of you guys need to do as well. You need to film your videos multiple times. And I know this might not be the most efficient and you're trying to hit deadlines and all that.

But seriously, it probably takes you an extra hour, maybe two hours to refilm your videos and if it ends up being a better video in the outcome, then it's totally worth it because that video could get a lot more views than if you just filmed it once.

However, over time, you're only going to have to film that video one time because you got comfortable on camera and you've been practicing. I feel like this is just one of those tips that really can slip by the wayside.

And a lot of YouTubers just think themselves better well, it's just because you only filmed it once and you weren't comfortable on camera, but if you filmed it twice or three times, then it just wouldn't be that much better.

#Tip No. 3 For (You can Get Comfortable on Camera.)

Tip number three is to create an outline rather than a verbatim script. I personally have been experimenting lately with verbatim scripts and complete outlines of my videos.

In my opinion. I feel like I just connect better with the viewer when I'm doing an outline rather than an actual verbatim script. And I feel like that's the same for a lot of different YouTubers as well.

I feel like when they script every little line that they're going to say that they mess up a lot more on camera and it takes them a lot longer to film rather than if they just did a simple outline.

Obviously, there are parts of videos where you're going to need to do a verbatim script like I personally script out my entire hook of the video just because I want to keep it quick and I want to keep it efficient right at the beginning.

And also when I'm doing something a little bit more technical. That's when I probably script out some things a little bit more because I just want to make sure that everything is crystal clear. And I'm not rambling too much which I definitely noticed that I do. Honestly at the end of the day.

I think it's just if you are overthinking exactly what you're saying. All the time, then you're really just overthinking your entire video which just keeps you from being yourself and just keeps you from being competent.

So try to get out of your own head and try to just speak to the camera like you're speaking to a friend that's honestly what I always do instead of just thinking like, a repairman out of the car. No, you're talking to a friend and someone is on the other side of that lens.

And that's how you have to treat it here. Confidence is something that's really difficult to get over. But I've noticed that most of the time is because of YouTubers having a really poor script. So that's exactly why I write this Artiright here, so be sure to click on that and I will see you guys over there. Bye-bye
