Come up with a plan of what you want to talk about. If you know your topic well and the direction you want to go in, your preparedness will definitely come off as confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In saying that, I\u2019m not suggesting you write an entire script and read it off a teleprompter in your video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve all had to sit through those presentations in school where the kid basically reads his notes directly off the PowerPoint slide. We\u2019re trying to pay attention… but it\u2019s so boring\u2026 and slow\u2026 and unengaging\u2026 and exhausting. Please don\u2019t be that kid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a loose plan to organise your thoughts. Then rehearse it in your head or even in front of a mirror before you start filming. Practice those key points you want to get across or even how you\u2019re going to deliver those jokes for maximum comedic value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just let the words organically flow out of your mouth. If you mess up, you can always do another take. Bloopers can be entertaining anyway, so there\u2019s no losing situation here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To look good means to look confident on camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and expresses the finest version of yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wear that favourite yellow sundress or that lucky button-up shirt. Don\u2019t neglect the power of a bright lipstick colour and a good comb over either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you look your best, you\u2019re going to be your best on camera. It\u2019s really as simple as that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the risk of sounding like everybody\u2019s mum or grandma, don\u2019t slouch! Stand up straight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good posture exudes confidence. It tells the audience that you\u2019re commanding the space around you and you know exactly what you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sit or stand up straight, roll your shoulders back and keep your chin up. But it\u2019s important that you\u2019re not so stiff that you look tense and uptight. Keep a good posture but stay relaxed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch your body language too. Crossing your arms, bouncing your leg or playing with your hair can all be subconscious signs that you\u2019re closed-off or anxious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be self-aware and try to avoid these tics as much as possible. It\u2019s okay to slip up once in a while, you\u2019re human. But the more you catch these habits and stop yourself from doing them, it\u2019ll get easier to look confident on camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t doubt you\u2019ve been in a situation when you\u2019re talking to someone and they\u2019re staring down at the floor or looking everywhere else but your face. That\u2019s the clearest tell-tale sign that someone is shy or nervous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Making eye-contact with the camera is no different. It is another important key to looking confident on camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking directly into the barrel of the camera equals looking directly at your viewers. It simulates a real-life conversation and feels more personal. Talk to the camera like you\u2019re talking to a good mate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, don\u2019t stare too intensely – you don\u2019t want to appear creepy or jarring. Remember to blink as normal and look away once in a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t think about it too much. Just be natural! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tone of voice is everything when you\u2019re trying to look confident on camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mumbling, using a monotonous voice and long drawn out phrases is definitely not the way to engage your audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No one, and I mean absolutely no one, wants to feel like they\u2019re watching a lecture on the history of trigonometry. What a snoozefest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be animated. Speak as though you\u2019re enthusiastic and excited about something. Let out your inner JoJo Siwa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It will give off the illusion that you\u2019re passionate, charismatic, and confident even though you may not 100% feel like it. Though with enough time and practice, I guarantee you eventually will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning to look confident on camera takes work and time, so don\u2019t get disheartened if you don’t master it right away. It can definitely be a case of \u2018fake it until you make it\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But practice makes perfect and this situation is no exception. So keep at it! One day, it will be like second nature for you to look confident on camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"5](\"https:\/\/creatorsofweb.com\/oci\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2020\/07\/5-Ways-to-Look-Confident-on-Camera-2.jpg\")
