I recently started a YouTube channel and have posted two videos. One, an introduction to the channel, and the other, on a speech I did for my communications class.
The hardest part is the distractions, (from my mom mostly) and I get pretty anxious during the recordings. Usually, I calm down by talking to Emily, my friend, and discussing what I’m upset about.
Talking about your fears really helps you get over them.
I love when I record my video and make sure its good enough to be on YouTube (checkk itttttt!) and it is awesome because the world gets to see my personality and listen to my ideas. I’ve been getting a lot of support from my friends and family on social media and that really helps my confidence!
I would definitely suggest you check out my videos and even make your own if you want to, buddy!
Here are 5 tips I have for starting out on YouTube!
- Eye Contact – keep your eyes on the camera!
- Show confidence and show the world your skills!
- Hard work, pride in your work (make sure it’s a finished product when you post it, no half-hearted editing!)
- Keep a record of cool new video ideas in a journal or a list!
- Don’t sweat the small stuff, keep going if you mess up. That’s what editing is for!
Here is a video I made recently. Hope you like it. Talk to you guys soon!
