A manager told a client her on-camera presence felt off. The fix: stop seeing the camera as a black hole that drains you. Treat it like a friend you're talking to, and your natural energy stays the same whether the camera's rolling or not.
You are so fun, you are full of life, but why don't you show up like this on camera? This is one of my client. She heard from her manager she was having issues while addressing camera, and when I asked her, she said that, you know what, my camera energy is different. And this is when I realized that she was actually telling a wrong story. A camera can be your friend. A camera is where you can pass your message and connect to the people from across the nation, across the world. So instead of treating it like a black hole where your message will get sucked, if you start treating camera like your friend, your energy will be the same whether you are off camera or in camera.
