How to stop being afraid of the camera?

Now you will find out what 1% of people can actually do, and what the remaining 99% of people will never do.

~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~° Shall we start? Why is it that when a person starts saying something on camera, he doesn’t do it well? Yes, it’s still very simple. Two thoughts are beating against each other in his head: ° what do I look like now? ° what am I saying now? And what happens to the person? For example, you are fixated on appearance. And the text flew to warmer climes. And what does the viewer hear at this time? "Beck...mek...sorry...it's my first time...sorry...once again...bek...mek...what did I want to say...forgot...etc .d."

And vice versa! You speak so wonderfully (you studied the text all night or wrote a cheat sheet and scratched without stopping), and at this time..... You don’t even notice that you’re starting to twirl a lock of hair on your finger, all the time you’re trying to do something with your own hands: scratch your nose, rub your eye, straighten your collar, twist a button on your blouse...😂 How many interesting and funny situations I had to observe when I worked as a cameraman in a television company.

But that’s not all your brain is capable of. He personally prepared three negative attitudes for you. Ready? First installation: 🥺 I don’t like myself!

Wrinkles no longer just appeared, but like a furrow on a field, a bad haircut, a kind of long nose, dark circles under the eyes (I didn’t get enough sleep), and what a nasty voice! Oil painting! Then let me ask you a question: “Is it you who don’t like yourself or did someone force this idea on you?” If your "well-wishers" have driven this into your head, send them......to the forest! And let them remain among the 99% of people who will never pick up a camera and film themselves!

If you don’t like yourself, then just trust my experience. I have not seen a single newcomer who would do everything perfectly on the first take. THIS IS A SKILL!

Second installation!🙈 I'm embarrassed! Ooty - ways...what shyness. And the “well-wishers” around you are just waiting for you to make a mistake, blurt something out, or shoot 59 takes, or even 100. So what? Yes, you are already lucky! You picked up the camera and mumbled something. You are now among the 1% of successful people. But 99% now would give everything just not to be in your place.

Third installation and last!🤭 I do not know what to say!!!!!

Everyone has something to say. And you are no exception. Everyone has both experience and their own genius. You have no idea how talented each of you is! Well, when you press the REC button, all your thoughts no longer fly to warmer climes, but to the north. What to do? And here everything is also simple. Keep the plan in mind. Not a memorized text, not the thoughts of others, not quotes from the greats, but your own plan.

Did you recognize your fears? Do you agree with the brain's settings?
