Confidence is a useful tool to better engage and interact with your audience. It also allows you to have a great time and show your audience seriousness about live streaming for business. It also adds credibility, trust, and validity to your stream, making your audience more interested and loyal.
Here are some tips to follow to gain more confidence on camera while live streaming or recording video content:
Share What You Love
In other words, don’t try to be someone you are not just because it is a popular niche or “what everyone else is doing it.” In fact, this is a great way to ensure you will fail. No one can pretend they are someone they are not for too long.
To be confident and create a successful video or live stream, you need to share what you are actually passionate about, something you have skills in or can provide quality value somehow. The more you know and trust your ability, the better you can translate that confidence on screen. Plus, it is hard to be confident when you truly don’t enjoy something.
Practice and Test
Before hitting record, practice the content or material you want to share with your audience. Test your equipment, audio, and everything you plan to share during the video or live feed. This way, you know you did everything you can to prepare for an uninterrupted stream. This also includes taking the time to practice the skills or content you share on-screen. If you don’t practice, you can’t learn your weaknesses to improve your content and engagement on stream.
Expect and Allow Mistakes
No one is perfect, and you are bound to fail. So expect it and learn to plan around it. The less you reject it and fear it, the more likely you will avoid it. Remember, only through failure can you learn to grow.
Go in With a Personalized Plan
A detailed and personalized plan is a great way to get rid of any anxiety or walls in your way. The more you know what you are doing and expect, the fewer fears and the less anxiety you will have, overshadowing your confidence.
Collaborate with Others
Get involved within your community more by working with and communicating with other streamers. The more involved you are within the community and those who stream too, the more knowledge and education you gain—naturally increasing your confidence and understanding.
Remember, confidence is not something that stays constant. You need to work on it and establish proper routines and strategies to keep it up. The more you practice, plan, and get to know yourself and your audience, the better you will feel over time.
