How to Speak Confidently On Camera: A Guide for Content Creators
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
This is a simple guide to developing the skill of speaking on camera with confidence.
Video plays a massive role in our lives. It helps us get informed on the world and to learn new things. The ability to express oneself on video is an extremely important skill in the 21st century, and it's only going to become more valuable. Being able to speak on camera has played a major role in building my entire career.
Unlike popular belief, I see this as a skill, not a talent. Which is great news: it means it can be developed. And in this class, I would like to share with you everything that I've learned about building this skill.
In this class I'll teach you how to:
1. Authentically express yourself in a way that feels raw and honest.
2. Methods to feel more comfortable and at ease in front of camera.
3. Think about the process differently to take the pressure off and make it easier to enjoy yourself.
4. Stay spontaneous and interesting when you speak.
In addition, there will be a behind-the-scenes look into my own process, from scripting to filming to the post-production that happens afterwards. While this is not a technical class, this will hopefully shine a light on what can often feel like a very unclear process.
This class is for anyone interested in honing the ability of sharing an interesting message in video form on the internet. Whether it's launching a channel on YouTube, or creating your own online class, this course will help you create a final result that you're proud of.
