1- Feel free to Move
In an introduction to video, you must view yourself as an actor or actress. It basically means that you are dealing with a real scenario so don’t be hesitant to impose “real personality” in front of cameras. This is not easy especially when you have low self esteem (considered normal when getting started on video). You may feel anxious but it must not hinder you. To surpass this emotion, try to relax yourself using progressive muscle relaxation. In this manner, you’re just like putting some tension in your muscles then release/relax it after 2 – 3 minutes. Deep breathing exercises may help. Sometimes we are using our hands when talking to others. This is perfectly normal and can be perform while on camera. Moving our hands while talking can aid us in expressing our thoughts while relieving anxiety.
Movements provide focus as well as clarity, communicate your own desire and also interest. Tips to help you with movements:
a. Vary your movements
Try to use different type of moves instead of repeating merely one. Try to incorporate a variety of movements into your speech.
b. Use movements which fit your message
Occasionally a point needs some kind of extravagant move; at some other times a more subtle move is way more effective when introducing video.
c. Remain relaxed
Your own movements should flow with your own hands. Try to maintain your movements comfortable and also effortless. If you find a move makes you tense, drop it from the speech and replace it with anything a lot more casual and familiar.
2 – Smile!
What can you feel when someone smiles at you? Apparently, you may think that this person is approachable and friendly. That’s it. Smile can impose positive environment when socializing with others. Bear in mind that smile can also use in “awkward situation”. So when you have difficulties acting in camera, maybe a simple smile will help you overcome it. Introduction to video: you must get used to it.
