A creator shares how he went from nervous and breathless on camera to confident by uploading daily. He argues confidence isn't innate talent but a skill built through repetition. Other successful YouTubers followed the same path.
You want to know how to be confident in front of camera? You simply practice, bro. You only practice. That's the only thing. The only thing that spares, like, let's say for example me from being confident on camera and you not being confident is simply the fact that you don't have experience. Look at my first video, bro. At my first videos, I was like shy. I was talking like a girl, bro. I was talking so— with no confidence. I remember the first video I've ever made. It's not on YouTube anymore, but the first video I ever made, okay, bro, I was so stressed. You don't understand. I was so stressed just to talk in front of a camera. I was so stressed. I couldn't barely remember anything. I couldn't breathe properly. And, you know, for so long, like, I couldn't breathe properly. I was just holding my breath and just talking as fast as I can. But with time, I realized like, bro, it's easy. You practice and you start seeing the illusion that, oh, actually, bro, being confident in front of a camera is nothing. That's what happens with everything. You face your fear. That's what was my goal. My goal was to make my future self more comfortable in front of the camera. Like, I want my future self to already be comfortable and confident in front of the camera so in the future I can do anything. With YouTube or anything. I'll be— I have experience. That's why I practice. That's why I upload every day too. You only gotta practice and you'll be there. I swear to God, every other YouTuber you see confident on camera, being themselves and everything, they simply practiced. I look at their first video, they were like you, bro. We're not different. Like, they were like you. I, I am like you in the beginning, bro. Don't Don't think like you need like some special talents or abilities or genetics or something. That's what I used to think, and bro, it doesn't work like that.
