Hey creators🌱 Have you ever noticed how the moment the camera turns on, you suddenly stop feeling like yourself? I have been in that place for a long long time. I knew what I wanted to say, most of the times I'd script that too, I cared about my message, and still, the second I hit record, something in me would tighten. I would start watching myself, trying to control how I looked, how I sounded, how I came off. Instead of speaking like I would to a close friend, I would start trying to “do it right.” And the hardest part was knowing there was a more relaxed, real version of me there, but not being able to fully let her come through😮‍💨 I thought this is all about not having enough skill, so I took more courses, watched more YouTube videos, went first to present always just to freeze in front of those people and I couldn't find out the reason why I was this way. What I have realized after doing inner work and studying neuroscience in my freetime is that this was not random at all. A lot of times, our brains are simply trying to protect us. If our current self-image still carries beliefs like “I am not really worth being seen,” “I should stay small,” or “it is safer not to be fully expressed,” then of course being on camera will not feel natural. Because one part of us desires visibility, but another part still does not feel safe in it. And when those two parts are not aligned, we can feel the tension. We simply gotta get comfortable with our desires first. We have to feel safe being the person who wants to be seen, heard, and fully expressed🤍 Because authenticity on camera is not something you force. It is what starts happening when your self-image is finally aligned with what you truly want. I am curious🌱what do you think your brain is trying to protect you from when the camera turns on?

Hi all! I am currently recording using my Mac camera on computer, but am struggling with reading the script. As I am going into stats with my work - I feel like I need to script it out rather than riff. I've been using my phone as a teleprompter behind my computer but this draws my eyes up wards.... and it looks weird. I'm not making 'eye contact ' with the main lens. Don't have a regular camera to use at the moment for those traditional teleprompters... Any suggestions- right now I"m trying to just memorize the key points and fill in the rest, but I stutter alot.... or mix up the order I want to say things...or sound too mechanical when memorizing and then speaking... I've only done about 7 videos- so maybe I just need more practice? Any advice, is MUCHLY appreciated. Hope you all have a wonderful day,

Hello everyone, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of this community. I know that I have much to learn and look forward to getting started.

...and posted a new video! I'm a bit "out of shape" on my Youtube journey due to severe schedule bandwidth issues, but that has let up enough for me to start posting videos again. Any thoughts on this one?
