“I don’t like the way I look on camera.”
“I won’t be as good as the other YouTubers.”
“Why would someone want to watch my videos?”
These are all thoughts that any new video creator has before they get started, myself included.
Kala Philo, who has been a video marketing producer for over 15 years, has extensive experience in working with entrepreneurs who have encountered this very thing. Now, she is helping entrepreneurs and business owners utilize video to leverage their businesses and build visibilty around their brands.
Why Do I Get Anxious on Camera?
This can vary person to person, but the anxiety generally stems from not wanting to be seen. As human beings, we just naturally do not want to be seen by others.
Kala’s theory is that this anxiety and fear of being seen goes back to the caveman days when humans had many more predators to worry about. If you are loud and being noticed, you are much more likely to be eaten by larger predatory animals.
This anxiety you’re experiencing is your brains way of trying to protect you from being noticed and putting yourself in a vulnerable (and potentially dangerous) situation.
Well getting on camera is going to get you eaten by a tiger, our brain is still fighting against ourselves to avoid be noticed.
How Do I Overcome Camera Anxiety?
Video Recording Equipment
You can easily shell out thousands of dollars in video editing equipment and software.
YOU DON’T NEED TO DO THIS!
One of the best cameras you easily have access to is right on your mobile device. If you’re just getting started, use your mobile phone to record your videos to start.
The key is to become comfortable with the tools you have.
Kala also suggests getting some type of microphone (one that can easily plug into your iPhone or mobile device) and a box light.
There are links and resources at the bottom of this page that will provide you with some cheap options for getting started on a budget.
Start Small
One of the biggest things everyone thinks they need to do is to start creating videos for YouTube. This is not at all necessary.
In this episode, Kala actually mentions using your email list, LinkedIn, or Facebook groups to create videos for, before taking the leap over onto YouTube.
By doing this, you are creating videos in a low-stakes environment where you can get honest feedback without feeling like you are creating video for the entire world.
If that is still too intimidating with where you’re at, try to find a small group of individuals that you can reach out to and let them know that you’re trying to create more video content. Used this closed group as a testing ground to practice and grow as a creator.
One important thing I didn’t want to neglect touching on is that it is difficult to get your video content seen by the masses.
Just because you put a video on YouTube doesn’t mean everyone is going to see it right away. The way the YouTube algorithms work, you need to be producing a lot of consistent content and know how to navigate the search engines within YouTube.
So don’t let this idea that your video is “out there” prevent you from creating. It will take time to grow and by the time you’re comfortable with video, you’ll be looking for ways to grow and scale your video content.
Getting Over Camera Anxiety with Exercises
If creating the videos and sharing them is still too much for your right now, there is an exercise Kala mentions that I want you to give a try.
Set up your camera (even your phone can work well for this) and script out a line by filling in the blanks to this statement:
“I help ____ do ____ so they can do____.”
Practice with this line and record yourself repeating this line 5-10 times.
Play around with the energy in which you say this line, the tone of your voice you are using, and just play with it.
This statement is a good one to practice with, because it is essentially your mission statement. It is like a little video pitch for what it is that you do.
Once you’ve got this line recorded, I challenge you to post it on social media (Instagram Stories may be a great place for this).
Remember: you aren’t trying to be perfect. Nobody is perfect. Find the best recording of those 5-10 that you recorded and go with. Your transparency (and minor mistakes you make) show that you are human.
Create a Pre-Video Recording Checklist
Checklists can be a great way to make sure you don’t forget anything before you start recording.
I highly-recommend starting with some type of pre-recording checklist if you’re new to video.
In my personal experience, if you’re nervous about recording yourself on camera, it can be really easy to forget some of the most basic quality checks before hitting record.
If you listen in on the episode, I share my time-wasting “oops” from recording my first video series on the episode – Hey, no one is perfect!
Video Creation Challenge 2021
Kala made some suggestions on the episode that I want to turn into a bit of a challenge.
Here’s how the challenge is going to work:
I want you to pick a date for you to have 3-5 videos recorded and done.
These don’t need to be lengthy videos. For the first few, let’s shoot for 2-5 minutes each.
Identify who your audience is.
Determine what kind of content your audience would be delighted to see.
When you’ve got this all planned out, I want you to comment on this post and share what date you have chosen as your target date, and what your vidoes are going to be about.
Once you record these videos, post them on Instagram and tag @ninefivefree and @mybonvideo (or send them to my DMs) and share what you’ve created.
I’d love to watch the videos you’ve made and provide any feedback I have to offer!
