Who else has no problem being themselves in person but a lot of trouble on camera? It really hit home when you said a recording feels more permanent.
“My authenticity is valuable to my audience.” Powerful words, well said. Thank you.
Damn, the whole video was filmed with one take and no single ummm! Thank you for sharing this!
I think he uses some sort of technic of when ummm comes on tong, instead of saying it, he make a silence pause and says it in his mind only :) At least that is what would I start with first.
@@AndriusBalakirevas I agree. Umm, uh, ah etc. is a way for your brain to take a pause and you feel like it's necessary to fill the silence. It's OK to be SILENT. Sometimes SILENCE is a real clincher. SILENCE makes people take notice.
@@CaseyX726 Can't say better , mate :) SILENCE is a real clincher :D
@@AndriusBalakirevas you’re right. The pregnant pauses are where the “ummms” likely would be heard, but he never gives in and says even single one

Bro, I literally just tried this out for myself, by pretending to record. Not caring about making mistakes, and not feeling bad when you do, makes a huge difference. You helped me in under 10 minutes
I tried talking to the camera today and I actually feel like a total failure and will definitely not be posting what I did.
I try so hard to be myself but kept fumbling up my words, finding myself blank, frustrated , until the point that I just gave up and went home I will try again and again until I can and I will not give up. thank you for this video
Thank you! I am one of those extroverts that shut down when I am in front of the camera.
My immense frustration is, have a lot to offer to people, and I can't deliver it in the video. When I try to speak, my mind becomes empty and blocks me every time. I'm worried about how I look and how I speak because I am not a native English speaker. Especially, I need to remove strong paradigms from my mind. Now I understand that I need to practice, practice, practice and most important try to speak from the heart like to my best friend. Thanks a lot for this video because it encouraged me a lot and opened my eyes.
The video format of a single take was inspiring, I realized you didn’t talk perfectly but you also talked authentically to prove the point
I know this video is three years old but it’s incredibly helpful and reassures a lot of thoughts I had on this.
I’ve been shooting my first CZcams video the last couple weeks and it’s been so awkward.
I am even someone who came from an acting background in college and thought that I would be able to do it easily. I then realized it’s complete different than acting because when acting, you’re typically directing you words towards someone and reacting to their reactions. A camera feels like I’m talking to a wall.
After 13 years experience as a radio host i can only sign every word you said. Great video!
I have learnt a lot from this dude as a young travel Vlogger
I CRINGE when I watch myself on camera. This was very helpful :)
I have definitely had the "Who's that!?" moment, and am still trying to look/feel more like me on camera. My take away from this is to think a little more before shooting, breath a little more and worry less. Given that I'm Scottish, meaning I obviously talk too fast anyway, I'm determined to get to grips with it soon and let people meet the real me! Really helpful video Tom, thanks 👏🏻
be proud of that beautiful Scottish accent and let it riiiiiinggggg mate
“People are expecting me to be me” is GOLD!
I am the kind of person that struggles a lot with thoughts about how I look or what I say when I talk, not realising that my authenticity is what matters the most. Vulnerability, not trying to be perfect, I think helps us to connect in a more authentic way with other people. Thank you for sharing.
So comforting and true!
Fantastic, and totally real! Completely agree with your points. Needed this, thank you.
I think it's quite cool to go back and "look" at how bad we perceive we were, because it encourages us going forward. Thanks Thomas
This has been the best advice I have ever received, about talking on camera.
Love this bro. No edits! You described exactly how I feel every time I make videos. I run a company of Soldiers and have been in positions that I train and talk to hundreds of people with full confidence. But when I start recording, all that goes to shit. This I hope will help. I’ll definitely put this into practice so I can improve.
This is the best video I have seen on this topic. I have been trying to grow my channel and get better at talking with the camera. I get so into my own head and start thinking about how I will come off to others. This video was so affirming and reminded me my authenticity is my power. I just have to be myself, thank you so much for this.
Thomas, thank you for doing this video. I recently started a CZcams guitar channel and I do struggle with being myself in front of the camera. While I know what I want to present to my audience, I often have to remind myself to simply BE authentic. The concept seems simple enough, but once I press record, all bets are off. Anyways I'm rambling. Please keep up the great content. I am very glad that I stumbled upon your channel! Cheers
I've been a subscriber for a very long time, and have really enjoyed your style and content. I am not able to travel much so I enjoy seeing all those exotic places you show. I have learned a lot of helpful tips as an amateur videographer, both from your example as well as you training videos. I have made all the mistakes of excessive zooming, panning, etc.. I have made only 1 video talking to the camera. It was addressed to one person as a personal thankyou for a kindness rendered. It was extremely difficult and I probably made a dozen takes before I decided to imagine the actual person sitting in front of me instead of the camera. I could then express my feelings from my heart. Thank you for all you do.
This is some very valuable information right here to get you started talking on camera! Learned a lot from Thomas and hope I can tune in to the Masterclass! Proud to be part of the first 30 Day Talking On Camera Challenge! Keep it up Thomas, your skill sets and lessons are very much appreciated! Cheers!
I really enjoyed the raw and undone feeling of this video. The 1 clip video with no cuts etc really helped to accentuate the point you're making in this video.
Great topic. I relate 100 percent. As a person who’s worked in video production for almost 2 decades I realize my weak spot occurs when in in front of a camera. I can speak to people with absolutely no fear or anxiety I person or over video chat or phone. But for some reason the camera really messes with my head. I don’t know why but I’ve never been able to learn how to deal with this issue and get better. I realize that other people have worked through this issue and it’s an admirable skill. The 39 day challenge is certainly interesting. I’m looking for solutions.
Great video - amazing how a simple thing like being authentic is so key!
Thanks for sharing!! I am Autistic and only found out last year im 33 years old. I had crazy anxiety doing training presentations at work etc. Had to do it on camera for the first time live and wish i had watched this before doing so. You have inspired me to change a few ways of working to increase my time in front of camera to help me in all aspects of public speaking etc. Thank you!
You're one of my favorite vloggers, not only because you have solid information, but that you're relatable. I really appreciated this video. Happy day :)
You hit the nail on the head with this one Thomas. Prob one of my favorite videos you've put out.
Much respect for putting yourself out there like that!
That's something that I really struggle! Talking to a camera doesn't make me nervous at that moment but when I see the footage I am clearly stressed and self aware! Maybe because English isn't my first language! Maybe cause I just started filming! Your video is really helpful!
Love this, very valuable. I much prefer your authenticity as well. Well done.
It`s the best video I could ever met anywhere. These mantras about "The people really are expecting you JUST BEING YOURSELF and IT IS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE" are making me serene and peaceful while Im thinking about talking to camera. Thank you so much, Thomas.
The funny thing is that the moment I start struggling with my text and stop talking to the camera I become this really funny person cursing a little and making funny faces. That's the person I'm practicing to be when I'm recording. Sort of unlearning how I think I'm supposed to be. So you're message resonates, being yourself is the most valuable thing
That was incredible video. You are absolutly right.
Thank you for the insights! Indeed, if you think you are a weirdo, that does not mean there are no other weirdos like you who appreciate this :)
I am going through this...Thanks Alex for such a talk...I am uncertain whether I could get better but I'm sure that your words will definitely humm in my ears, whenever I start talking on cam.
Great video. Always looking to improve the way I am in front of camera - this mindset shift really helps, it's never going to be ''perfect'', I get lost with trying and end up not being myself enough.
Fantastic advice. Start with authenticity and the rest will take care of itself.
I know this video is a bit older, but I am currently in communications at school and it was very helpful! I have to do presentations through video assignments and it has been very awkward and hard for me to do. Thanks for the tips 💕 👍
This is great advice to tell people when filming interviews. I find so many people feel like deers in headlights and it can be a challenge to get them to relax sometimes
I had plans to start a CZcams channel but got on cam and went silent took me 3 months to actually get over that fright and right now I about to start again. Thank you Alex 💕 sending you love from Nigeria
This video is really amazing. Exactly what I needed to take my skills to the next level! Thanks for sharing!
this is very relatable man! Even I am still struggling to talk to the camera in a natural way. but you do it with so much ease!
I really needed to watch this video. I often have a hard time recording videos, because I feel like I’m gonna mess up in the recording, but the thing is, messing up is what makes you authentic. If it bugs you, you can edit it, but just be you and in the moment when recording.
Thanks for this video
Thanks man! Further to this video thing, You have reminded me that thee valuable thing is being myself, not other things. You are right. Thank you
Great message! Thanks for being you 🙏🏽😊
This is the best "how to talk to the camera" advice yet! thank youuuuuuuu
Appreciate it more than you know, helped tremendously
Recently, I started a CZcams channel with my girlfriend. We get so excited creating our concepts, our outlines, and are gaining confidence with editing tools. That said, the anxiety of getting a good recording haunts me.
Your message here is accurate, compassionate, elegant, and beautifully delivered. First time on the channel - Liked, Subscribed, but most importantly, thank you for the pep talk.
I really liked that you made it about the most important thing. Without fluffing it with anything else. You made it a priority for us to value the authenticity and forget about the rest. The rest will fall into place, after the soul is found and expressed. Thank you for this. Hounding it for a 10min video is hard. U did that with your own authenticity. I’m glad I skipped every recommendation upon my “search” on CZcams and clicked on yours. It looked different. It looked like you didn’t intent to post a video that simply did good for the algorithm. Thank you for proving it right
This video made me feel so comfortable and you told me that it's okay to be just me and speak out about what I want..thank you so much 💝🌻
U r one of the incredible persons that I have ever saw in my entire life..thank u thomas😊
everything you said made huge sense and resonated with my experience as well. thank you so much, you relieved one of us beginners worst anxiety
This was the game changer I was looking for. Thank you.
I BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR YEARS. Thanks
Yay! Awesome video and nice studio setup. I think we’ve all been waiting for this video. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Thank you for your advice. Just when I needed it!
The best advice so far! Thanks Thomas 👌🏻
I love it! Thanks!
I did not expect this depth from this video. I love you mind and its obvious depth
Authenticity is key. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, need more of these good tipps 😍👏👏
Thank you for this video. A lot of value in your words and I hope to live this mindset someday soon!
great video - words of gold.
Thomas, this was so helpful! The way you shared about being Authentic & showing us through your honesty helps me a lot. Thank you!
wow! i needed this advice badly. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video man you killed it. These are great tips and you did a stellar job explaining yourself and giving examples along the way. This will help a lot of people👊
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge
Super genuine man, love this video.
Wow, love this video! Thank you! 🙏🏽🪷
so much helpful tips, thanks dear, very authentic you are
Thank you Thomas, I remember my first time taking to camera... oh wierd, English not being my first language,also the level of my English was so low. I didn't not like the fact that I don't have a vocabulary or a accent as all the English people... So frustrating, but I did one thing that put me on the right track, keep filming without showing my self and no taking until I felt confident to speak in front of the camera again. I used youtube to learn English, to express my creativity in my way and slowly the journey started. It is a journey and indeed as you said I realized that my authenticity is valuable to me and my audience. All the best and keep filming and keep taking to camera:)
This is so helpful to people like me who are just starting on youtube. Its good to know that everyone face this at some point of time.
Excellent talk, and moreover so true about the facts or tips that you mentioned Alex. These are really really helpful who are starting their journey in front of the camera. Thanks for sharing and talking about this 👍
We like you!!! Thank you for what you do for us!
Nice!!! So on point. My best tip, just PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE !!
I’m so glad you did this in one shot. It was really beautiful and showed me i don’t have to be perfect or be thinking about how I’m going to edit my video to be perfect. Thank you. This is the best video about talking to camera i have seen
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experiences. I am shy and very awkward at camera there are times I really stop speaking and turn off the cam, I want to feel authentic but remove the shyness. Now I feel more motivated even though shyness is not yet gone.
Thank you! I've been doing CZcams for years and wanting to make the step to being in front of the camera and not just showing my hands. It's scary but this video really resonated with me 🙂
I can't wait to see the studio finished funnily enough a recent video of mine I was saying to my viewers that I've been thinking about giving up because of a lot of things and also my voice I sound monotone and boring. But I had a great response people saying they love my channel the way it is and the way I talk im just being me not scripted or fake and that I leave a lot of stuff in the video that other's wouldn't show. So the best way to be is to be you on you tube thanks for the videos I'm learning so much from you😁👍
Man, you have a phenomenal way of communicating with people. I started typing this at about the 8 minute mark and was literally getting to the point of commending the fact that you did the video in a single take to demonstrate your point, and of course you wrapped up on that note. The effort & sincerely behind this one is very apparent. Thanks for giving this to us 👍
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
That's just good life advice
Thanks mate
this is gold! thank you
You've got it spot on! Exactly what you said is exactly what I felt like when talking the camera for the first time last weekend. I'm starting to wildlife filmmaker channel. Great tips and Thank you! 😁
Love this. Arrived here after watching and reading a lot of Brene brown. Authenticity is something I struggled with from an early age. Just in the last few years I’ve realized it’s a huge gift to myself, my wife, family friends and clients. Thanks brother
Brene brown is great
