Getting over the fear?

[Brenden]

For me,its the fear of my peers,but now I just forget to care xp

As others are saying, just do it and keep doing it till you're comfortable!

One of the only ways is to push yourself to do it to overcome your fears, not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera initially and practising and getting used to it will help. Maybe make several videos you know won't be going online until you feel more comfortable.

This is exactly what I did. I was all into the gaming scene because I didn't want my ugly mug on camera but then I grew a pair and ended up saying screw it and just got used to it. Haters are gonna hate, they'll always be there. But when you get yourself out there, there's always going to be people who enjoy your stuff!

have you heard about the 30 days challenge? just push yourself to talk in front of a camera for a few minutes every day. you don't have to use the content you film, you can if you like. but the more often you do it the easier it goes. I make videos in English to learn to speak easier in English. I've also could have made videos in Dutch, but I already know Dutch fluently

Sounds like a good idea I really want to be able to speak english fluently So I might do that Thanks [DOUBLEPOST=1387024882,1387024745][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think my voice sounds annoying i had a fear to make videos because i worried about what if my enemies saw them and what if strangers on the net find me boring and annoying. I got over it by talking about it with my sister and also imagining how i will deal with embarrassment and i can say that now i am making videos looking silly and i am happy.

What all the others said, yes.
And don't forget that speaking in front of a camera is not so much different to something like crafting or any other talent. The first sword you craft (if you...well...time travel) just won't be as good as you 100th sword but you have to practice. If you feel too uncomfortable, then practice without uploading the videos. Just talk and watch the videos afterwards. Also remember that often you can do multiple takes and it does not have to be perfect immediately. Think about the blooper reels of blockbuster movies. Those actors get paid millions and still screw up their lines or the director has to give them advice on how to act in this scene.

I'm also strangely nervous whenever I turn on the camera and talk to it. It's strange because I've been on stage giving video game demos in front of 1000 people or giving video interviews for fansites without being nervous. But when there is no one there, and just the camera, I find it hard to imagine the people I talk to. It feels weird. Like I'm talking to myself.

i used to have this same fear so i made gaming videos with a voice changer and later even though i didn't upload them i made tons of daily vlogs eventually i just did it and made a video for youtube and im not scared anymore

I have the same sorts of fears and am still working on them. I agree with what the others are saying, practice makes perfect. When I sit down with my notes and get ready to start filming, all these nervous, confident draining thoughts come into my head. Then I start wondering if my housemates are around and if they will hear me. It takes me a long time to actually push record and get on with it. I can't wait for the time when I can just sit down and get on with it straight away.

You just have to keep recording until the magic happens and you grow comfortable with it. Try not to think about what other will think, all you have to care about is what you think. Do you like it? are you happy with everything? Does it give you enjoyment recording?, thoughts like that. Gradually the more you do it you will be able to answer yes to each of those questions. I doubt there is one youtuber out there who was able to answer yes to each one straight away.

Well, right now I'm just recording my voice, so I'll get used to it. But I'll plan to soon post some videos

Wow, thank you ^^ I'm still trying to get over my little fear, but day by day, it gets better and better, so when I just feel like it, I will post a video, when I feel the confidence in me

I just wondered, if you have any suggestions about, how to get over the little fear I have? I really want to post some videos on Youtube, and I have some ideas, but I have this little fear about showing my face on camera or even saying something. I even have this fear about my family, friends, classmates etc. figuring about me making videos on Youtube. It might sound irrational, the fear, but I'm still a little afraid about it.
Could you maybe have some suggestions how to get over this fear?

I STILL redo videos if I'm not happy with them. It's really all about having confidence and pride in what you're creating. My friends and family have been some of my biggest supporters. When I first tried starting my channel I redid my channel intro 4 times because each time was just very bad. Lol Once you get comfortable you can go a long way!
