"Once you maximize what you have, the universe will give u more" so true!!!!
Your hair is so cute like this!
Alissa Ashley was thinking the same I love it
This is helping me so much! NOT gonna lie my numbers have been really stagnant and it can definitely be frustrating when you're trying to grow but I refuse to be discouraged! Thank you for all the tips and info!
I love her tutorials! So informational. Keep pushing forward Cora :D
Cora LovesGlam stay encouraged I’m growing too❤️

“Work with what you have & eventually the universe will give you more”
Notification gang where you at doe?!?
Shameless Maya you're looking at it!
Shameless Maya here!
This was soo helpful!! I've been waiting for a video like this for forever!! Thank you!!
Shameless Maya here learning 👋🏾 been using ur tech talk vids to start up my channel :)
::Airhorns blaring::: Right here girl! :D BTW...Teddy = Bubblegum. Whaddya think?
Three point lighting is the best. Frugal pro tip....3 $10 gooseneck floor lamps with "daylight" led bulbs and then cover the lamp part with $1 shower caps to softly diffuse the light for that beautiful skin glow. Total cost: $40.
P.S. Only use LED bulbs because they will not get hot and therefore can be covered without a fire-risk.
clyde gallagher thanks do you mind liking or replying to my comment so that I get a link to your comment
Aurora Skyes three point lighting with diffusers tip by Clyde. Another option is a $50 setup from Amazon Neewer 600W 5500K Photo Studio Day Light Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B013JV3J1I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rSYuyb279GB9V
clyde gallagher I've been using 3 led floor lamps until I'm able to get a ring light . I also find with the Sony a5000...I know another CZcamsr that films with the a5000 but uses a ring light & her quality looks great! Will you take a look at my video for some suggestions? Idk if the light is close enough to me or what....😕
Racquel Edouard which CZcamsr are you referring to? Then I can get an idea of what you are going for.
Naturally Sunny
WHAT AN INSPIRATION ,POSITIVE ENERGY AND LOVE !!! Woman you are beyond amazing !!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!
I will second that sentiment and statement...She truly is !
I would love to start a youtube for styling outfits but i feel really shy in from of a camera and extremely picky with the quality my video would turn out. I loved hearing work with what you have and be creative. It really inspired me. I love watching your tech talks and learn so much from it. Thank you for these videos they are super helpful.
Bruna Abreu Thank you Bootiful
Nwadiogo Aw thank you! I appreciate the support! I'm challenging my self to get out of my comfort zone. It's only holding me back !
I'm in the same situation girl, I feel your pain.
bruna abreu Same here! I actually bought all of the filming equipment. Created my channel and even filmed here and there. But still like you, I'm too freaking shy and also a perfectionist.
Aja Marie just start! You will learn a lot along the way

Omgg girll I've been watching tons of videos on filming and editing CZcams videos... && I must say I enjoy yours the most. It is very informative, helpful, and motivation. You never once discouraged and made this seem impossible. You only encourage and gave an abundance of positivity and motivation! You got a click on the bell for that. Thanks girl. When you said "everything isnt going to be perfect, work with what you have, & allow yourself to grow" I felt that. Thank you for your videos!! ❤❤❤❤

I really live for these Tech Talk Videos man
Maya you are best ! thank you so much for sharing your secrets ! not a lot of big youtubers want to share their" secrets "with us smaller youtubers .really appreciated
Normii omgggggg, yes. I hate that, like it's not that serious 😞
I love your personality so much! You make me so happy and lit up inside to watch! I think it has to do with also how independent and strong you are inside - to do all this on your own too. Your personality shows your drive and determination while staying really positive and happy with all that you have. You're such an inspiration and so beautiful!
You are so transparent and full of useful, quality information!! Kudos to you!!
love it. this is the prefect video i was looking for. your on point & so specific with things
ItsHenny I try my best to make sure you understand!!!

Thank you for such a helpful video! Your backdrop looks amazing, and I love your way of talking. So calming and funny on the same time. Just subscribed. Have a great day! :)
I love this and completely appreciate your for sharing it!!!! I watched so that I learn how to improve my videos! Shamelessly of course 😊
I just purchased a sonyA5100 . Your videos help me sooo much! I have a beauty & lifestyle channel. Thank you for all the great tips!
Truely DeVine it over heats so bad 😩😩
yes it does! I didn't buy it for video but I do still use it for video. Using what I have until I can get a camera made for video. but I'm in love with the sonya5100 for pictures.
Im thinking of getting this camera. I know u mentioned that u love it for pics. Do the pics come out clear? and how is the video and sound quality? Ive heard its not the best.
this camera is definitely made for pictures. the images come out beyond amazing and super clear. the quality of the video and sound are nice the only default of this camera is the over heating when recording.
thank you !
I'm watching to make my videos look better. I don't really have a channel theme but I plan on revamping.
Sounds exciting
Its Ekcho Me tooo.
Keep Going, I believe in You
I’m all about your tech talk videos :) you’re the best! You go girl 😻

*channel not video lol
What a good husband helping :)
Thanks for all the love again boos! Share this video on Twitter with your friends who need some Tech Talk in their life! ctt.ec/cI4Sp
Shameless Maya Do you have a tech talk coming about vlogging 😆😆 pretty pleaseeeeee!.
Thanks Maya, your tech videos, I just love!
Question - when I try to film close-ups, I feel like it shows WAY too much detail of my face. I don't know if it's the lighting, camera setting or just my skin lol. I'd like to achieve that almost airbrushed look I see in most beauty guru videos.
Shameless Maya LOVE YOU MAYA YOU INSPIRE ME💙💜💛
Hi +Kemi's Choice i'm a videographer I think I can help :p. I'm a little late but hopefully you can see my message anyways :P. I took a look at your "How to Bob Braids (Tutorial) - NO BURNING!" video and from what I can tell, the most likely culprit is that your light is too close to you and also turned up too high. It also looks like you aren't using a softbox. This is something you can put over light to make the light softer. That "airbrushed" look you are looking to achieve happens because the lights are diffused (by softboxes), further away from the subject, and/or turned down in intensity. I hope this helps, happy vlogging! :)
Thank you Olivia for your reply!. Yes you are right, I don't have a softbox, and the light was right in front of me in that video. I will hopefully be able to invest in better lighting equipment soon and get much better quality videos. Thanks again!!
I watch this video to make improvements on my channel. Great Video...Thanks for sharing ;)
yes me too!
if you mind please check out & subscribe to my channel :D
Your advices are on-point, girl! Been doing it for my videos. Thanks, Maya! :)
Gosh love Shameless Maya! Talk about being real! I'm obsessed with watching her videos! 😀 Every one is so informative!
That beauty guru voice is hilarious!
I've been having to start my channel because my businesses demands it (I'm a makeup artist, I invented a process to airbrush special fx tattoos that look & feel so real tattoo artists can't tell they last a week). I'm teaching other muas how to do it! ANYWAY, I recently found out I have Cancer so waiting just seems silly anymore. Don't wait for tomorrow, it's not guaranteed! I'm editing my first few videos right now!
ipaintflesh this is the best advise I’ve ever heard. Hope things are going better for you! Thank you so much ! Sending healing energy your way💖
Thank you!! I'm working with limited space, my main issue. I love that you said to just work with what we have. I've put off doing videos for years because I wanted it to be just perfect. I just got the Sony a5000 so I'm ready now, I'm just going to go for it!
Thank you Maya! You're such an amazing help 😩 I started watching you because I wanted to start a CZcams channel based on beauty. You've gotten me to start and to also continue persistently. I cannot thank you enough for all your help 💛
When on iMovie I edit my exposure to create more lighting since my original lighting my itself is not where i would like it to be. However, when I upload my video to CZcams from iMovie OR Quicktime it looks NOTHING like how the video looks on iMovie OR Quicktime. It COMPLETELY goes back to normal to how it originally was and did not show how my video actually looks after i edit it on iMovie. Why is this?! I tried both ways and my lighting still changes 😭😩 Please help. It is soo frustrating. I can see how it is suppose to look like on CZcams but 'actually' shows the way I don't want it to look.
How do you get rid of light glare when you show makeup products in your video
I heard if you have a ring light, put the ring light behind your camera, and not right against the camera :)
If the ring light is right against your camera, it will create too harsh of lighting :)
Maya you are very very talented, you have great taste in decorating, styling, video details....thank you for following your passion and helping everyone along the way!!!
Maya! Can I just tell you thank you?! This was such a helpful video and I love your personality while you deliver relevant and meaningful content. I have watched almost every single video in your Tech Talk playlist and I've gained something from each video so thank you again!
Maya, I Have a question. I've ask MULTIPLE youtubers this question but all seem to act like its a secret and it's annoying. But some youtubers have backdrops, and behind them there's something that kind of looks like there's a light. Like behind them is lighter then the backdrop. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can check out Alyssa Ashely's video. Can you please tell me how they do that?!
Army Barbie it could be a filter
Army Barbie I watched a video I forget her name but I think she called it a halo light or something & she basically just puts a light behind her when she's filming. I hope this helps😊
Army Barbie I've been searching that up as well but no luck! Makeupshayla videos look like that as well
Army Barbie i could be wrong but i believe all they use is a fabric of some sort...something that will from a fabric store that will really pop. and then i think they position a light source to hit the back drop...they may have two off to the sides to really illuminate the back drop or they may have one but then strategically sit in front of the light source while also facing a different light source. so essentially you have light on the "back drop" and also light on you... if that makes sense?
It's the fabric they're using - usually it's the sequins fabric and when it's a blurred background that's what happens so any glittery or metallic background will make this happens
can you show how you connected your 5d to your mac to see yourself while recording?
I believe she is using an HDMI cord. Based on the make of your camera you may need an HDMI cord or mini HDMI cord. They are fairly cheap and easy to order. The port to connect it is usually located on the side of the camera.
i have the same camera she does.
Jayblac1615 in the video she says she's using a long usb cable
You use the USB cable that comes in your camera box, also there's a CD of software you install so when you connect your camera it pops up and you just click live view recording. If you don't have a CD room bit on your laptop you can download from canons website (which I had to do)
Thank you for this because I have the cannon CD. But my Apple laptop which is ran on OX dosent recognize it
You are amazing Maya! Personality always popping, I like that!
SOOO glad I found this video. I actually started my beauty channel a few months ago & im just playing around the elements to see what works best. This helps a lot!
I've never clicked a video so fast lol. Please talk about plug ins editing for final cut pro!
LaCienega Issa 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Omg I hope thats a yes! Your tech videos helped me so much and I still refer to them, Thank you!!
I think she's spoken a little bit about them before, I really want to know good ones for text graphics! I just hate the text Final Cut comes with.
TabithaAdamMUA I may have to go back and re watch her videos. I like how the text popped up when she did the close up.
TabithaAdamMUA the text ones? They can be bought as a 30$ package on pixel film studios website!
I drink my coffee with a straw too. I drink almost everything with a straw to not stain my teeth. Yay to us! Great tips, Maya. Thank you!
Queen KC Van Etta yay!!! Less bleach more teeth!
I love your channel. You teach and entertain and cover every single question before I even have chance to ask it LOL.... LOVE LOVE LOVE your freeform style and the amount of work you put in producing these videos. I am going on a binge watch of all your videos despite of when you uploaded them. THANK YOU SO MUCH MAYA
I'm looking into making beauty videos, and this was incredibly helpful! I have been watching Maya for a while, and I love everything she stands for and preaches about. I liveeee 🙌🏼✨
Do you think you could make a video about editing with iMovie? It's great for cuts and stuff but I have a hard time with adding in things like text and making it look a little more professional :/
I know right? I want to add 2 overlays and it's giving me a hard time!
arpitha badrinath one way I had overlays is downloading overlays from CZcams. A lot of them have the green screen of the overlay. You can also use keynote and create text/ pictures in there. Make sure the background is green. Save it as QuickTime. Then when you get to iMovie, insert your clip from either key note or CZcams on top of the section you want the over lay to be over. Click the over lay clip. After that there will be an option at the top with the tools that say "cutaway" click that then the drop down will give you options. Click blue screen/green screen. Then you'll have your overlay
Raq Natural oh wow thank you!!!!!
Ohhhhhhh ok , n ow i remember who you look like - You resemble BooBoo Kitty (Grace Byers) from Empire . She is an islander too - she is from Cayman Islands. Yall are so pretty and those short signature hair cut so beautiful.
I bumped into your channel last while trying to start up my own channel and your contents have been so so so helpful. Thank you Maya boo
Im thankful for these tech videos. Not so much for the super technical stuff but for the look or style of how to do things. Especially since I JUST started my channel. I'm been watching you since almost the beginning.
I Have Watched Almost All Of Your Videos, I Would LOVE It If You Could Go More In Depth About Using An iPad. I Have A Camera And A Windows Laptop. ;) Ty

Does anyone else think that she looks like Lil Brandi from Love & Hip Hop Hollywood? 😍
Maybe a video how to shot from above with and without a tripod? It's not really easy if you make drawingvideos and you're picky with the quality.
check out Casey Niestat studio's videos. He built a setup to film from above
I am so thankful for the video!! I'm a new channel and I've been saving for a year to update my equipment and I've been looking for a GOOD CZcams video to go over setup, lights and background. And this is literally the best one I've ever seen. So much info, literally no rambling ( that's so refreshing!!😩😩) instant sub 💕💕

I want to start vlogging. Just daily stuff, workouts, hanging out, wig making. Thanks of that nature. I'm super nervous, but only time will tell. You're tech talks are really helpful!! Thank you!
Literally the most organized and educational video! Absolutely love! :)
