Why People Freeze On Camera (And How To Fix It In Seconds)

To get the best out of somebody on video is to make them feel absolutely comfortable on the video. It's something they don't want to do. It's something they want to do but don't want to do. You get the gist. So what you want to do is you want to focus on the time that you have before filming the video. Now, it might only be a few seconds, a minute if that. The fastest thing to do to get someone to feel comfortable is to give them a compliment. Nice shirt, nice earrings, nice hair, you're awesome. Any of those things work really well to break the ice straight away. When you've broken the ice, then what you can do is you can ask them to think about something they're really proud of in the gym. I always just go straight off and just ask them questions about what they love about the facility. But most importantly, I don't have any gaps. I want to make sure that straight away I talk to them and just talk, talk, talk, talk until they feel really comfortable to be on camera.
