When did you start to feel comfortable in front of the camera?

Title really says it all!

I'll start:
The past few videos I made for some reason I have really liked being in front of the camera and just talking. And I found that if I'm talking and being myself, being comfortable on camera came really easy!

It took a good couple of months for me to stop being self-conscious. But now that I've been doing it for a few years, it feels like second nature. I find that this also helps with things like giving presentations at work...the pressure of having an audience and having to talk from an outline is much easier now.

Comfortable, About a year into making videos, I'd say. But totally comfortable? I'd say a few months after moving into my new flat when I got my new camera! and even more so when I got my new mic and lighting setup
I think knowing that the video I'm making at the time of filming will at least have decent quality (in my eyes) makes me feel way more confident!

I felt comfortable as soon as the vodka kicked in

I still don´t feel really comfortable, as I stutter sometimes, but i´m not afraid of shooting videos!

Took me a year just to show my face on camera and i never got 'comfortable' with it.
I dont film anything with myself on camera at the moment. But I do have plans to be back on it in future.

Right around video #50. I had done enough at that point that it all felt normal to me.

Right away for me, luckily my wife is there to joke around with also. The thing that was a little awkward at first was vlogging in public...now it's no big deal.

I think I've always been a bit of a ham, but It's easier because while I know eventually everyone is going to see my video, it's not the same as it being live and having all these people staring at me.

I show my face on camera, but recording audio was not easy either...but when people started responding positively to my videos in terms of views comments and sub I started feeling comfortable.
