Celebrating 25 Years of Video
This year, we are celebrating 25 years of helping businesses tell their stories. Reaching 25 years…
Being in front of a camera can be nerve-wracking, especially if you’re about to be interviewed. In fact, 75% of individuals experience some degree of anxiety when it comes to public speaking. Whether it’s for a corporate video, a documentary, or a social media campaign, the pressure to appear natural and articulate can feel overwhelming. But confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being prepared, relaxed, and yourself.
How you can build your confidence
1. Know your key message
You don’t need to memorise a script, but having a clear idea of what you want to say will make a huge difference. Write down three to five key points you want to get across. Think about your audience—what do they need to hear? This will help you stay focused and help your message come across clearly.
2. Practice speaking out loud
Saying your thoughts aloud, even in front of a mirror, helps you hear how you sound and adjust accordingly. If you have time, record yourself on your phone and play it back. This will highlight areas to refine and help you get comfortable with your voice and delivery.
3. Dress for confidence
If possible, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident, but also consider how it will look on camera. Solid colours tend to work the best, avoiding overly bright whites or distracting patterns. If you feel good in what you’re wearing, it’ll show in your body language.
4. Arrive early and get comfortable
Give yourself time to settle into the space. Familiarise yourself with the setup, lighting, and the people around you. A rushed arrival can heighten nerves, so arriving a little early ensures you can ease into the experience.
How we can help on the day
1. Guided warm-up
We’ll chat with you before filming to ease you in, helping you feel comfortable and confident before the camera rolls.
2. Clear direction
Our team will guide you through the process, from where to look to how to pace your speech naturally.
3. Multiple takes and edits
If you stumble, no problem! We’ll take the best to get the best version of your message without pressure. Even if we don’t capture the perfect take in one go, we can stitch together sentences in the edit.
4. Encouragement and support
You’re not alone in this—we’re here to help you shine and tell your story in the most authentic way possible.
At the end of the day, confidence on camera isn’t about perfection; it’s about preparation and comfort. The more you embrace the process, the more natural you’ll appear and that is what resonates most with an audience.
