Camera Confidence by Ali Abdaal

The Camera Confidence Course
In this online course, I’ll be teaching you everything that I’ve learnt about camera confidence over the past few years of making hundreds of videos and coaching over 2,000 students as part of my Part-Time YouTuber Academy.

We’re going to cover a bunch of principles, strategies and tools for being more comfortable on camera, and you’ll see real life evidence of these techniques in action as I take various members of my team through the exercises, and give them feedback throughout.

To that end, this course is going to be split up into six modules:

Mindset

We’ll be looking at how to deal with your inner critic, embracing imperfection, and identifying what type of presenter you want to be.

Technique

Actionable tips to being more confident on camera. In particular, we’ll look at what to do before and during filming to quickly improve our camera presence and comfort.

Analysis

We’ll look at how to analyse our footage so we can continue to grow and improve over time. In particular, I’ll show you my TEACH framework for analysing our own video content and content created by other speakers.

Drills

I’ll also be giving you all my favourite drills to improve camera confidence that I’ve used over the last 4 years of my YouTuber journey. So, you can continue to improve leaps and bounds for many years to come.

Case Studies

We’ll run through a bunch of case studies, where we analyse the camera presence of various YouTubers and celebrities so you can see what’s working for them.

Guest Speakers

Finally, we’ll be bringing in a couple of guest speakers to talk about their own tips and tricks for being more confident when speaking to a camera.

The Secret to Being Confident on Camera
The secret is simple: practice.

The more you put yourself in uncomfortable situations and stretch your comfort zone, especially on camera, the more confident you’ll be. So, even if you’re the sort of person right now that gets nervous, anxious, or experiences brain fog when stepping in front of a camera, with time and practise this will go away.

It’s a skill that can be learned.

Yes, it’s hard. Yes, you’ll feel uncomfortable. Yes, you’ll want to give up.

But, with the right guidance and a little bit of patience you can reach your goal of being super confident on camera. All you need is a camera you already own, a phone, or a webcam. It doesn’t really matter. The important thing is that you show up every day and put in the reps.

There’s actually something else too.

It’s taken me hundreds, if not thousands, of hours to get to where I am today. I’ve been putting in the reps for over 5 years now and I’ve been through all the pain a beginner has when first learning to be more confident on camera. It’s hard work.

But, it doesn’t have to take this long. Or be that painful. In fact, it can be a lot of fun and with the right direction, support, and practical advice you can get there in a fraction of the time. A handful of hours, not hundreds of hours.

This is what I will teach you in this course.
