How I Stopped Feeling Awkward in Front of the Camera, And You Can Too
What’s the best way to stop feeling awkward when the camera starts rolling? I used to wonder the same thing.
I know that awkward feeling all too well. My heart would race, my mind would go blank, and I’d feel this overwhelming urge to stop recording.
Even if the awkwardness didn’t show on camera, I definitely felt it inside.
For me, this happens when I get stuck in my head, overthinking everything instead of letting my ideas flow naturally.
Yep, I’ve been there...
Before pressing the record button, everything seemed easy. I’d think,
- “This will be a breeze.”
But...
as soon as that red light came on, it was like my brain hit a wall.
And suddenly,
I wasn’t sure what to say or how to say it. The confidence I had just a second ago disappeared.
So,
how did I finally get past this? How did I stop feeling so awkward and start enjoying being on camera?
Here’s my trick, I stopped taking it so seriously.
I began telling myself,
- “This is just a test video. It doesn’t have to be perfect, and I don’t even have to keep it."
That simple shift in mindset changed everything. With the pressure off, I found that my words flowed more naturally.
I could relax, be myself, and just talk without worrying about every little detail.
And guess what? The videos turned out better because of it. They felt more authentic, more “me.”
And that’s what people connect with realness, not perfection.
So if you’re struggling with feeling awkward on camera, try this approach.
Remind yourself that it’s okay to mess up, that it’s okay to take a few tries to get it right.
The important thing is to keep going, keep recording, and keep improving.
Before you know it, you’ll start to feel more comfortable, and that awkwardness will soon be gone.
And, you’ll actually look forward to being on camera.
If you give it a try you might be surprised at ho
w much easier this approach is to being on camera.
