Ok, so here's a little curiosity I have and was wondering If you wouldn't mind
sharing your experiences on the thought.
The majority of video-bloggers, and alot of my favourites feature themselves in
their videos, talking to the audience directly about their day, about their
thoughts or whatever. Do you think this is a personality trait, in the sense
that you are just born comfortable to be in front of the camera, that you guys
(or girls) have never had issues with it?
This is something that's been plaguing me for a little while. The people that
know me here, know that I love video, watching and making and if you've ever
been to one of my site's you've probably noticed that you've never actually seen
me and I'm always behind the camera (or computer).
I ask because it's something I'd like to get comfortable with. I'd like to have
the ability to create a 'talking head' video series for my new site. A few of my
reservations are: I have a slight accent (Welsh) which I myself often have
trouble listening to others on the news ;) and just generally not coming across
like I am uncomfortable doing it.
Has anyone gone through this? Did you start out like this and got better? Do you
have any advice?
Thanks,
Krystian
