When humans are much Audrey, the founder of our money talks media company, which helps engineers and entrepreneurs improve their communication skills so they can express your ideas with clarity, confidence. For the past couple of years, I've been growing one aspect of the Armani talks brand, which is extremely important for this course. The YouTube channel. Within this YouTube channel, I've posted over 300 plus videos, have done a dozen plus interviews. And I've worked with different entrepreneurs and helping them launch their YouTube channel as well. So they can take their ideas from their mind to the outside world. And throughout this journey, I've come to notice a lot of different patterns which are extremely important from different parts of the world. The more that I saw these patterns, the more that I came to realize that these patterns, the fundamentals. And it was simply the fundamentals which mattered all along. In this course, we're going to be learning those basics to help you overcome procrastination. So you can get started on recording your own videos and taking your ideas for your mind to the planet. I look forward to seeing you inside and you're going to be going from point a to point D real quick. Let's begin.
2. Overview: This course is going to focus on a lot of the high level principles in regards to speaking in front of the camera. We're not gonna go too much in detail or too much about the technical setup. Instead, we're going to be tackling the beast from head-on. We're going to be talking about why camera anxiety is a thing in the first place. We're going to talk about the nitty-gritty fundamentals of putting in the work and understanding that everything is a muscle. Even building convert in front of the camera. We're going to be talking about how to understand or ideas, clarify it, and created in real time. We're going to be learning the art of hitting that Publish button. So at least one person can see our work. And we're going to wrap that all up with a final project where you're going to have that opportunity to hit the Publish button so other people can see your work. Let's get started with lesson number one. And that's the reason for why camera anxiety exist in the first place.
3. Camera Anxiety Video: Claustrophobia. You know what that means? It means the fear of public speaking. Sono phobia. Do you know what that means? Is a fear of dogs. Now, I don't know the name of the phobia for a camera shyness. But understand the camera shyness is a thing. And it's much worse than shyness as a whole. It delves from China's all the way to anxiety. There are plenty of people who legitimately avoid events that's going to require them to speak in front of the camera because they're nervous. I want you to understand that camera anxiety is completely normal. It's actually extremely unusual if you don't have it. Because here's the thing. This technology that we have in the present-day world, the camera, is something that's extremely new. And when someone is telling you that they don't have camera anxiety or they've never had it. Understand that they're very similar to the guy who knows how to walk. But then as a baby, there were struggling. They were crawling. They're trying to get up. They fell. You're trying to get up. They will cross a more. They tried to walk and eventually they were able to learn how to walk. Now as a grown up, we don't remember our struggles as a baby. So when you see someone that's extremely poison, speaking in front of the camera, maybe don't remember the beginning of their journey. Sort of like a baby. But just know that camera anxiety is completely normal. And in the next section, I want us to understand more of the technicalities as to why it's normal so we can do something about it.
4. Why Camera Anxiety is Normal: When you're thinking about communication, you want to view it in a very targeted manner. There's five different levels of communication. Level one is known as intrapersonal communication, which is self-awareness level tool is known as one to one communication, also known as conversation. Level 3 is many-to-many, also known as teamwork. Level four is known as one too many, which is public speaking. And level 5 communication is human to machine, also known as media, or predominantly focusing on level five communication for this class. And I want you to understand that this is a rather new phenomenon. If we're trying to get specific with it, we really can't. So let's get general. Imagine that this is the entire civilization that ever existed. Now for trying to find where speaking in front of the camera is, is pretty much the small little sliver. You can barely even see it with shows that speaking in front of this inanimate object is new. And anytime that we're doing something that's rather new, there's discomfort involved. Now I'm bringing all this up because you want to have the right expectations from the get-go. When you understand firsthand, hi, this is supposed to be difficult. It's not supposed to be easy. And since I know that now, now I can actually approach this skill set with the right mindset. So just know one main tank, speaking in front of an inanimate object is never supposed to be simple. And that's why overcoming camera shyness is huge. You go and have a brilliant skill set for this generation. And in the next section, I'm going to be talking about the value of learning the skill set and the first place.
5. Importance of Speaking on Camera: Youtube channel Zoom meeting, saying a toast, which is going to be recorded at a wedding. Three simple situations of when you may be expected to speak before the camera. So if you have the skill set and you know that anytime the recording light is on, you know that you're not just going to become flustered, you're going to be looking all over the place. You haven't edge in this world. Nowadays, the era that we're living in is known as the Information Age. We're a global communications is bigger than ever. It's easy for someone from the US to speak to someone from Italy as though they were next door neighbors. So a lot of the communication is going digital. And if you're one of those rare few people who doesn't shy away from digital communication, then you're going to be able to thrive in the information age. I want you to take some time and find five practical benefits of learning to speak into the camera and listed out, go ahead and write it down. Because when you write it down and you see firsthand that this information is practical to your life. You're much more likely to stay committed long-term. So stay committed long-term.
6. Practice is the Only Way: Repetition, repetition, repetition. You want to know the biggest difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Growth mindset views everything as a muscle if they're physically capable of learning it. Now. So game with the mind. And once again with the mind, it becomes a game of the heart, is desire. Do you want it or not? The fixed mindset is going to mill it in. But the growth mindset is going to put in those repetitions, repetitions, repetitions. Now you may have not wanted to hear that a part of you may have thought that this class was all going to be about giving you the latest hacks tricks to shortcut the process. No, it doesn't work like that. Every single person that learned how to speak in front of the camera had to first figure out the discomfort stage. And every single individual that's poised had that discomfort stage. They got up, Fell, got up again, and repeated that process in iterations. So just know that we're going to be stressing practice throughout this class. But more importantly, we're going to learn how to practice. We're going to be talking about deliberate practice, especially. So we're not wasting or rubs and we're just all over the place. There's a big difference between a player who is present in the basketball court and shooting deliberately versus the person who's in the basketball court shooting. But the mind is in Disneyland. We want our mind to be present, focused, and we want to practice correctly. Just know that all about speaking from the camera comes down to putting in the reps.
7. How to Practice: In the last section, we talked about like camera shyness is completely normal, why you face it? And how the main potion for overcoming it was to practice putting the repetitions and build your speaking muscle. In this section, I'm going to give you some unique frameworks on how to practice. So each and every single video is progressing you one step closer to your goal.
8. Dark vs Light Mode: I want to introduce a new concept called the dark versus the light mode. The dark mode is all the videos that you record in private. To this day. I have hundreds and hundreds of videos in my laptop, in my camera that I never plan to release. These videos are just for me, just like an experimental ideas. Understand where I stand on certain issues and just experiment. It feels good when you have that certain zone that you know that no one is going to ever virtual for. This is known as the dark zone. Eurozone. The light zone, on the other hand, is what I call public. This is when you are allowing other people to see your ideas, watch your videos, and every now and then give you constructive criticism back. What I recommend is that we start off with the dark zone and then we transition smoothly into the light zone. Most people teach you the exact opposite. They tell you to put yourself out there, shred up in the public from the beginning, which works. You're tackling the beast head on. But in this class, we're just easing ourselves into it. The more that we focus on the dark zone, the more that we sought to improve our body language, understand our ideas, and create very unique insights that you're not going to find in any search engine. So let's take this dark zone very, very seriously. So we make a smooth transition to the light.
9. Private YouTube Channel: Oh, someone told me what I'm about to tell you right now. There's been plenty of videos that I've recorded, uh, my phone and on my laptop. But one of the best areas in order to create your dark zone is YouTube. No way before you panic about everyone watching your videos. Did you know that you can make your YouTube videos private before you decide to ever make it public. There's plenty of videos and nowadays on my YouTube channel that I just keep private to watch for myself. The reason that I like YouTube is because plenty of times you may have hardware issues with your laptop and even with your phone. B-series, how often do you have the same phone now that you've had two years ago? Very rarely. But with YouTube, the beautiful part is that once you upload the videos, once you could access it from any part of the world. As long as you have an Internet connection. And as you keep the videos private, you only are aware of this channel for yourself. When you have this channel, you're capable of watching your growth in real time. When you see your growth in real-time. This is very similar to a man who's been struggling with obesity for a long period of time. And he finally decided to get a good gym instructor. This German structure is different. Sure, is making this person go to the gym, eat right, sleep well. But he's also making this person take progress, picks simply by this obese man seeing his progress pigs happening in real time. He keeps on feeling more and more motivated. There's this feedback loop that's being created for this person to just keep on going and going and going. And that's the same exact thing with a YouTube channel, the private one. So start a YouTube channel, start uploading some videos on there and make it private. This is going to be your dark zone.
10. Publish Videos: You don't want to be one of those people that's getting stuck in the dark zone, just posting videos and private all the time, never allowing other people to see it. Eventually you want to get to that state where you're sending your private videos to at least one person so that they can see it for themselves. Or you just make it public and allow a whole bunch of other people to see it. Now this may stink. You may be thinking, well, what if they don't like it? What are they? Just criticize me nonstop. Perfectly fine. Because with content creation, some of the best speakers that you know, all times three groups form. One group, loves them, other group is neutral and the third group despises them. You want to know that she code view all three has the exact same. Notice what I said. As the exact same. You don't say that all the people that I like mean more than the people that I hate versus the people that are neutral. You don't want to do all that. Just say that all opinions or whatever. Because ultimately I'm creating for me first, I understand that this is a skill set that is going to benefit my life first in order to be one of those individuals that lets the good opinions get to your head. Because then the mean opinions are going to get to your heart. Have the right attitude. In regards to the light zone. There's billions of people on this planet. There's millions of people that want to start a channel. And there's only a handful of people who actually end up doing it. But unfortunately, those handful of people are stuck in the dark zone. Few of those individuals put themselves out there. When you do enter the light zone, do with some swag, due to some confidence, even if you stumble, fumble, and mess up your video completely, just know that you weren't aware of fews who have entered the light.
11. What to Talk About: In the last section, we were talking about the importance of learning how to practice. And we divided our practice into two different components. The drug zone where we record videos in private, and the light zone where we make a lot of our videos public. We talked about why YouTube is an amazing resource. Mainly because you'll be able to watch yourself grew up in real time. And you're able to access a YouTube anytime you have an Internet connection. In this section, we're going to be talking about what to talk about. Because when the recording light is on, a lot of the times your brain is going to freeze. So if you have some clarity regarding the subject matter of what you're going to be discussing beforehand. It's going to help you out for me honestly. So let's get started with this section.
12. Talk about Things you Love: I've a very simple rule and what to talk about. Things that you know extremely well. Some of you guys are going to do the exact opposite. You guys are going to be doing research on research, on research, writing notes, and just giving yourself analysis paralysis. Remember what we said earlier. The most important part of this course is the repetitions. So if you start off with something that you know extremely well, now it becomes much easier to put in the repetitions. What do you like to talk about? It could be any day. You don't want to judge yourself too much. Let's say you're a big Harry Potter fan. And a part of you has been wondering for a very long time whether or not the author of Harry Potter was going to release more books in the future. Talk about that and be creative. Let's say you don't think she's want to release more books, then put yourself in her shoes. If you were JK Rowling, what are you gonna do? Would you release more books? Do you have more sources tell in regards to Harry Potter? Have fun. Make it creative. Because the more that you make it creative, more than you start associating a feeling of positivity was speaking in front of the camera. And when you can associate the right emotion in regards to this act. Now you're hacking the system. Now you're gonna do this act long-term. While many people right here haven't even recorded the first video, the researchers, as I like to call them. Now that's not to say that in the near future, that you're never going to do some research for your videos. All I'm trying to say is that Azure warming up as you're trying to overcome the beginner state and you're putting in the repetitions, just start off talking about something that you know, inside and out. You're the subject matter expert. Act like it.
13. Look for Patterns: Want to know one of the biggest differences between a leader and a follower. A leader notices patterns while a follower has no clue. What does leadership really? Leadership is a game of the mind. Power, persuasion, influence. They're all ideas. And whenever you're dealing with ideas, you're dealing with themes. And anytime that you're dealing with a theme, dealing with patterns, whether you're aware of it or not. Anytime they've, you're speaking in front of the camera, you are now playing the game of ideas. In the last section, I was talking about you creating a whole bunch of different videos regarding topics that you know very well. You're going to be stacking up all this data. And as you're looking at this data, you'll come to notice that a lot of them are rubbish. You can say that some of them are so-and-so, but a few of them are gold. These ideas are resonated the most with you. And whenever you find an idea that resonates with you a lot, I want you to collect it like their Pokemon. Because the more that you keep collecting ideas that resonate with you, the more that you build your foundation regarding what you stand for. And the more that you build your foundation, the more that you understand a communication skills law. You always come Number 2 to the idea. When Barack Obama was first starting his presidency. There was a period in his career where he was getting a lot of criticism for his speech. And the particular criticism that he was getting was that he said a lot. There was one time that David Letterman clip a little bit of his interview, a two-minute segment of the interview where Barack Obama said 30 plus times. This was a huge work. A rookie cork like this for a sitting president was no good at all. Yet. By the time that Barack Obama finished his career, he was seen as one of the greatest speakers of all time. Extremely persuasive. Any idea why? Is because Barack Obama understood this communication skills law that he came number two, to his ideas. Sure. Obama as a person, he may have said a lot. He may have had some self limiting beliefs. He maybe didn't like his style too much, all normal as him as a person. But he understood that anytime he was speaking, he was now in a different rule set. The rule set regarding ideas. Idea comes number one. And it can never come number one if you have no clue what you stand for. So as you're creating your data points, I want you to do it with some intention. Look out for those ideas that resonate with you the most. You feel it in your chest, you don't need to intellectually explain it is something primal is something as though the answers have been there all along. Look for those ideas and keep making yourself aware, aware, aware, and now your foundations are getting stronger.
14. Add Nuance to Ideas: The last section, we talked about the importance of collecting ideas which resonate with you. But we don't want to stop there. We want to keep going and going and going. We want to get those ideas and add layers to it. When I was starting their money talks YouTube channel, there was a certain period when I was extremely curious in regards to articulation skills. What was it exactly? Sure. I need a definition regarding it. But what was articulating? The more that I thought about it, the more that I realized that is pretty much a person thinking out loud. When I had that simple framework of just thinking out loud, the more that I was able to see a stunning parallel between articulation skills and the gym. I told you in the beginning of this course that speaking skills are like a muscle. And I wasn't exaggerating it very much as we're speaking skills were thinking out loud and would go to the gym. We're training in the visible world. Anyways, I was starting to notice this little parallel and Australia to play with this idea of articulation skills more. And eventually, I ended up releasing a video called the articulation chamber. And this is basically where in one part of your home you're living facility, you create this chamber where you're just focusing on creating ideas. Sort of like how you go to the gym to strictly work out. It's the same concept strictly with articulation skills. Now notice what happened in the initial stages as simply found an idea that resonated with me. But I didn't just stop it right there. I started to ponder on it more, dwell on it more, started to add more tiers to it. And that's when I was able to create a new idea. Creativity is not only about creating new ideas, It's about connecting different concepts which leads to idea generation. So the more that you're recording these videos, the more that I want you to keep adding nuances to past videos. And a lot of the times, you're gonna surprise yourself. You're going to be thinking of innovative concepts which could provide a whole bunch of use value to someone else, which means practical value to another person that you were never considering before. And that's because you took the time to keep adding more and more layers to an idea.
15. Camera Etiquette: The last section we talked about what you're going to be talking about, especially when the recording light is on. And we basically said that it's important to start off by speaking about topics that you know well versus topics that you need to research. The main reason why is because you cheat code passed analysis paralysis. And you start putting in your reps. As you start putting in your reps, you're going to notice yourself collecting a whole bunch of different data. And through that data, there's going to be certain ideas which resonated with the most. Collect those ideas. But don't just stop at collecting add nuance to those ideas. The more that you add nuance to the ideas, the more that you're going to create new ideas in the process. Now as you're doing all of this, I want to use this section to create some basic camera etiquette, which is going to make a journey much easier by failing to implement any of these forms of etiquette that I'm going to give you. The whole process of speaking in front of the camera is going to be filled with tension. Let's eliminate the tension. Let's allow it to melt off. Let's make speaking in front of the camera fun and easy.
16. Talk to only One Person: The human mind has a huge problem with one. Focusing is such an issue. You're just focusing on one task at the exclusion of others. But you've got to get over it. Because in speaking in front of the camera, your goal is to speak to only one person rather than a general audience. Now in the beginning of your journey, as you are putting the eruption, It's going to feel like you're speaking to a whole bunch of different people. But notice that anytime that people are consuming video content, they're consuming a predominantly one at a time. Now, even in movie theaters, sure, a lot of people are watching the same movie, but they're processing it in their mind one person at a time. So you want to prime yourself to just speak to one person. And this mixer journey way easier. Because if you're trying to speak to a whole bunch of different people, you're kind of looking like this the entire time. And the audience is getting a filtered version of you. When you're just speaking to one person, everything just takes care of itself. Who is this person going to be up to you? For me, I like to envision that I'm speaking to my younger self. I know other people that like to envision that they're speaking to their dog. Some people envision themselves talking to your best friend, their younger brother. You can get creative with it. And if you don't even want to make it too complicated, just focused on building a relationship with a camera. Your best friend was a stranger at 1. Think about that. Truly registered that this friend that you have so many inside jokes with memories would bonds with was a stranger. Now as the transition was happening in the beginning portion of the transition, you guys weren't that quote one another. You guys needed some time, time to let the guards down, build the bridges and start planting the seeds for the jokes. Likewise, is going to be the same thing as you're building the relationship with the camera. Just know that you're speaking to one person, not a general audience. And this is the first advocate that you need to imprint into your mind.
17. Fix Posture: And human communication, you could do a whole bunch of things wrong. But if you make the other person feel heard, they will love you. In digital communication, you could do a whole bunch of things wrong. But if your posture is right, then you will love this process. In the beginning stages of recording videos, you'll notice that your posture is not the best, especially because you're nervous. The recording light is on and you're freezing. Your mind, maybe running a lot. And you cannot always control the mind. But you can always control the posture. Stout backs rate, shoulders, peeled back, chin up, and you can even do a gentle smile. By doing this, you come back into the present moment. The more that you can prime your body to be great posture whenever the recording light is on, you kill two birds with one stone. The first word is that you improve your posture. And the second bird is that rather than being in your head too much, you're in the present moment. So over time, these little incremental changes sorta add up. So Carrie herself, that the CEO of a planet.
18. Informal Beats Formal: A big part of speaking well, in front of the camera is on learning. When I was growing up, anything that the mainstream media said was law. If they said sorted words, we viewed it as a fact. Now this isn't necessarily me setting myself up to make fun of the mainstream media. It's just that in the modern world, with new media, the new complex level of digital communications, things are changing. When I was younger. Most of these individuals from the mainstream media were extremely formal, very serious tone, a serious face. Not too many jokes, just straight to the business. But nowadays, where more and more content exists or more and more, people want to build a relationship with the person's content that they're consuming. Rules are changing. Formal no longer wins. Informal wins. Yes, there's a time and place. You don't want to be the guy and for the camera, that's acting like a pseudo Pat Boone. But if you're one of those people that's capable of telling jokes, use this to your advantage. If you don't like telling jokes. Prime the mind to keep being like, Hey, it wouldn't hurt to tell a joke every now and then or whatever you smile a little bit more just so you could loosen up. The more that you can loosen up from your own state of being. The more that you release mirror neurons and the other person. And mirror neurons are the 10th wonder of the world, right behind Pareto principle and the compounding effect. So when you can feel good yourself, because you're tracing informality over formality than other people that sure to watch your videos back are going to enjoy you much more for it.
19. Importance of Watching Film: In the last section, we were talking about a few basic camera etiquette to just keep in mind of. Although those camera advocate seems very small at first, the more that you are practicing, the more that you'll start to notice, the effect is getting bigger and bigger and bigger. If you are still the good habits from the beginning, you will get good fruits. If you instill the bad habits from the beginning. You know the story. In this section, we're going to be talking about something very unique. We're going to be talking about the importance of consuming your own content back. And I want to make this as tangible as I possibly can. So you're actually doing this rather than skipping the step. If you can watch your own content back at guarantee you, you're going to speak so much better in front of the camera. So let's get started.
20. Psychoneuromuscular theory: Psycho neuromuscular theory way before you run away. This theory isn't that complex, is a theory that a lot of athletes use in order to become top performers. A lot of athletes consistently watched their content back. Floyd Mayweather is consistently watching his boxing matches back. Tom Brady is consistently watching film. Kobe Bryant used to watch. His entire game is back right after he used on playing it. Do you see the pattern? Because I do. The second neuromuscular theory states that when you're consuming your own content back, it's firing off thought waves in your mind, which is influencing your nervous system to behave in a completely different way. And when you break it down in a very logical sort of way, you are watching you back. This questions your sense of self. The brain receptors in your brain, which is always trying to break things down. What the lens of the ego is now temporarily being suspended. And although is going to be extremely cringe at first, to walk yourself back on tape, push through it. Everything is a muscle. Remember, the more that you keep watching yourself, the more that you're going to notice yourself, fine tuning yourself. Sort of like big data and artificial intelligence both need one another. If you have big data with the current hardware is just not going to work. You need very, very complex hardware that artificial intelligence can provide. But if you just have artificial intelligence without any data, then how is it going to refine and movements? You combine the two. Now you've got magic. That's how a lot of self-driving cars work. Similarly, when you're watching your content back, you and your nervous system, It's sort of like the artificial intelligence. And the content is the big data. Combine the two and you slowly start to get more and more polished. Over time.
21. Content and Warmth: What should you look out for as you're watching your content back? You don't want to get super specific in order to break down every single word like Dang, I should have used this word, this word. As you're watching your counter back, you want to go for the gestalt of tanks. Just all basically means the high level picture. Basically whenever you're watching your content back, you want to let your body do the takin. Your body is going to tell you when. So learn things you're vibing with a sort of things would fill off. And whenever your body is serving as a compass, listen to it. Because the more that you keep listening to your body, the more that you're going to build a genuine feel for the camera, and the more warmer that your personality is going to become. Now that's not to say that your body just going to be telling you everything. You still want to somewhat evaluate the content. Is your message good? Are you saying something that resonates with you? Or are you just seeing a whole bunch of random nonsense that doesn't make any sense. If we're in the beginning stages, you're seeing a whole bunch of random stuff that doesn't make any sense. That's fine. You're still gathering data. But the more and more that you're putting in your ribs, the more polished that your message should be getting. Can it benefit at least one person if they were to watch it? Watch your content like that. A very high level overview where your body is doing the talking and now you're just going for the content. Are you enjoying it? Are you learning it? Are you being entertained by it? Is a providing some sort of value.
22. Extra Things to Look For: Here's a few more tips to Washington or content back. The Holy Trinity, facial gestures, palms, tonality. You don't need to get super specific loaded. But if you have no clue where to look in regards to your content and you don't necessarily even know how to read your body yet. Just look out for these three variables in regards to your body language. How is your official gesture? Is a very stiff like this the entire time. As your tonality, are you in very monotone the entire time? And how your palms do show your palms at all. You showed a little too much dew point a lot and very sharp threatening way. Look out for a few of these variables. Content-wise. You just want to focus on a very big tank. Are you using 50 words when you could have used five? Think about that. Because the purpose of clear communication is to keep on becoming more and more simple with our message. So we don't want to use 50 words when we could have used five. So this is another thing that you can look out for as you're watching videos back. Just get a general feel of whether or not you're being efficient or whether or not you're using too many words. Simply bringing conscious awareness to these two different things, the Holy Trinity and excess words, will allow you to fine tune yourself in the process. You don't need to do too much other than that.
23. Recap: We covered a whole bunch of different topics in this course. So let's do a quick little recap just to make sure that we understand the big points. We talked about why camera shyness is a thing in the first place. It's normal. It's normal to not want to speak in front of an inanimate object with life yourself. How are you going to speak with life to a lifeless object? Through practice? You've got to keep on practicing and practicing and practicing to record the videos. But you're never going to practice unless you understand the practical importance of learning how to speak in front of the camera. A few of the practical benefits is to record you two videos so you can scale your business, get your message out there in the world. So you're not running away from Zoom meetings. So you can actually record the video in the wedding when the bride and groom ask you for some thoughts. Once you understand the practical benefits firsthand, you've got to practice tons of different ways to practice. But what I recommended in this course, we'll still have a dark section and a light section. Drug section is when you're gathering data and just experimenting with different ideas. Light section is when you're making your videos public. Where are you going to create this? On YouTube. The beauty regarding YouTube is that there is a private feature that you can use anytime. And you can make your produce public anytime. The more and more that you practice, you're gonna keep on wondering whom am I on the right track? You are. If you're making videos about topics that you know very well about, you can always talk about topics that you need to do research on later on in the game. But we want to avoid any form of analysis paralysis in the beginning stages. Keep on recording the videos. Keep on stacking up your data. And eventually you'll find certain ideas which resonate with you the most. Collect those ideas at nuances to those ideas, and that builds your foundation. So you start to build more confidence in front of the camera. As you're building the confidence, you want to make sure that you're focusing on the right etiquette. You don't want to be speaking to 50 different people in front of the camera looking like a deer stuck in the headlights. You just want to keep it simple. Speak to one person, fix your posture and enjoy the process. But don't enjoy the process so much to a point where you don't finish off the steps. Because as you're accumulating this data, this body of work in your private YouTube channel, which you are one day going to make public. You also have to watch your videos back through the process of watching the videos back in a very general sort of way where you're letting your body dictate to you what to look out for. The more that you are fine tuning your movements in the process. The more that you fine tune your movements in the process, the better that the next video is going to become, the warmer your personality is going to become, and the more simplified your message will be. Now without recap out of the way, let's get started with our final project.
24. Final Project: In this final project, I want you to pick one topic that you resonate with. This is a topic that you can speak about for five hours if you're told to do so. We're going to be speaking about it for five hours. You're just going to be speaking about it for five minutes. I want you to speak to me. I want you to assume that I know nothing about this topic. And within these five minutes, I want you to deliver the most important points of the subject in a very simple way. And your goal is to make me laugh at least once. So not only are you educating your also entertaining as well. Once your video is done, I want you to post this video in the class projects section. Don't be shy. I know you practice a lot behind the scenes. Now is the time to put your work to light. So put it to light. Show you five minutes of your story and I look forward to watching it and giving you some constructive feedback as well.
