I cringe when I think of my wife being able to hear me when I record my videos. I feel like this has to be an irrational fear that I have because I can't even explain why I'm afraid of it
I tried this exercise once and what I did to make myself more comfortable I printed a face on a piece of paper punctured an eye for the camera lense and taped it to the back of my phone. It worked for me helped me feel like I was talking to a real person. I leave this tip here in case someone wanna give it a try.
I don't think people realize how different talking to a camera is from talking to a person. What a transformation though from day 1 to day 30. You just reminded everyone it's possible!
Just use a teleprompter feeding you what the camera is recording in real time. This way it's like talking to a mirror. Everyone can talk confidently to themselves 🤣
An important realization I have discovered is a relationship between confidence with talking to cameras and communication in real conversations. As i have improved my skills with the camera, i have gained confidence and strength in face to face conversations. Something to consider as you practice...
@@Michael-NZ you are not shy, you are insecure and your insecurity is a result of you feeling unworthy. gotta work at the root cause and not fiddle with effects.
I am back by completing 30 days challenge and trust me it really helps me to stand out. I will continue making it for another month. Thanks for motivating me
I absolutely love how you call it “Camera” not “the camera”… it’s subtle, but makes it seem less intimidating, a little more personal, but also more of a skill that can be developed naturally “talking to camera”
This is basically what I did as a side-effect of making videos. My speech went from slow, stuttering, weak and slurred to something more clear, tonal and smooth (still a little quiet though 😬). My body language and facial expressions have also improved dramatically. I'm not quite there yet, but the difference speaks volumes. Cool to see it working for others!
This is exactly why I created my channel! I have hearing loss and I started to lose my confidence in my speaking ability. I’m watching this twice and taking notes. Thank you. ❤
When I saw this pop up, I initially wasn’t going to watch it as I thought it was clickbait, but then I realized it’s a Thomas Alex Norman video! Your videos are always excellent and I appreciate how engaging they are. Easy to watch from start to finish!
I think one thing to remember, is also 'cater to your audience'. Being confident is great - but having a smidge of awkwardness can be very charming in its own way, and help people connect to you. Being too 'perfect' makes you less relatable, and in some cases, can make you appear a bit arrogant/self absorbed. But filming yourself is definitely a great exercise for improving your mannerisms, and seeing how you come across to other people.
Loved loved loved day 14!! I personally need to get over the fact that I'm near 60yo and I can SEE all my aging faults and it really doesn't matter and I know it..but it is still highlighted in my head. I also tend to be different on camera than I am in real life. Thank you for this awesome video! This comes from a woman who did a lot of community theater and sang on stage and in a barbershop group.. gah.. why does the camera change us so much.
On the bright side, that means you can reinvent yourself when you’re on camera! You can play at being a different version of yourself, like how you do in theater!

Thanks for sharing. I ran across a similar exercise on another channel and I started doing this. I just recorded day 11 tonight before watching this. My approach wasn't nearly as structured as this but it's encouraging me to look for a more structured approach and do daily challenges like this. Not sure if anyone else has done anything similar but did it turn into sort of a cathartic experience for you? I found mine turned into me talking about my life and my day and it feels really good to just be able to do so. And I feel myself getting so much more comfortable with it every day.
This is totally relatable. I need to do the same challenge to myself and practice everyday for an hour for a month with speaking to camera. Your idea is brilliant. Thanks for the tip! I am also thinking of doing a series of shorts, so this could help also. I have heard some people recommend do a whole series of shorts in a month, to get good at it.
Matt is such a nice guy, I’d like to watch more videos he would create, and he nailed it! I laughed when he was trying Casey work, he did great!Congrats Matt great job!
agreed! As soon as he added those dynamics I felt it make a difference. Even though you can tell he felt a little silly and was laughing through it by talking nonsense, it was a lot more fun to watch.
This is a very inspirational video. This technique can be transferred to anything. Just to it every day for 30 days and you´re gonna be more confident in doing it.
Matt you did amazing and made me laugh as it reminded me of myself and how silly i feel when trying to talk on camera and forgetting everything i want to say and just laughing. Now i don't feel alone anymore, thank you Matt!! I feel more confident now because of you.
Awesome video! I never even had the confidence to pose in front of the camera for a good picture and 3 min. into this video, I took the challenge upon myself, took my phone out to look at its lens, and started speaking. The initial few mins were super awkward. I started looking around while speaking and getting distracted by several things around me. I was patient, gave it a few more mins and then I started to naturally speak into the lens without looking away and being more natural about my topics. This also increased my focus and allowed me to delve deeper into what I was speaking and brought out the authenticity in me. Thanks for the video. I think this is a great starting point for me and validates my potential that I can speak confidently to the camera too.
I watched this video 2 days ago and decided to give it a go, for at least 30 days. I also challenged my girlfriend to do it herself. Just recorded our first two videos on the subject: Tell me an "epic" event. This was a bit nerve wrecking but we had so much fun doing it. It's gonna be some fun 30 days. Thanks for the video, Thomas! Obviously... Subscribed!
@Elizabethsavannahshelton @betterlivingwithbitcoin @familiarjoe7290 Sorry to keep you waiting guys. That was actually a pretty good experience. It allowed us to explore different styles of videos and different subjects. Some were more formal, other were more relaxed. I realized I'm better with no script at all, either on professional subjects or humorous stuff. My girlfriend discovered she's actually really good when teaching those things she loves to talk about. Now, we've had a few days without videos because life gets in the way or we had no useful ideas. But we did all the 30 videos and learned a ton. I absolutely recommend everyone to try it. I've written down all the daily challenges we've done. If you guys want it I can adapt it, translate it and share it with you. Maybe I can make a video about it... in english. 😆 Not sure you would understand a word of it. LOL We are portuguese and some challenges wouldn't make sense as it is. Or, maybe @ThomasAlexNorman decides to sell the 30 day challenge once more. I'm sure you would learn way more from him than doing my version on your own. 🧐
I really appreciate the fact that your a realistic person id like to keep learning from you please make me your next student I’m doing my first year in uni and I’m in Congo 🇨🇩
Greetings from Romania! Man I just want to thank you for this video, I had multiple attempts to start doing RUclips content. This time I was again on the point of quitting but then I saw this video and just went for it. Now I am at my 5th consecutive short where I took on the challenge of making a RUclips short for 30 consecutive days. Thank you again and keep doing what you are doing 🙏
I can talk the hind legs off a donkey speaking to myself when I am out on my bike pretending I am vlogging, butcwhen I look at a camera I fluff up feel incompetent sneaking. Glad I found your video.
Congrats man... What a good vibe.. good video.. great sound, great content.. worth watching.. I feel that people who don't need or want to record themselves would still enjoy watching this!
Matt is such a cool dude. Thanks for the video. I seriously started my youtube channel 1 month ago. Talking to thw camera is really a skill. Im joing the challenge in 2023
Thanks! This was very motivating. When I record myself I personally struggle with feeling free to talk and to fight strange postures I could assume. I never had problems in identifying what's wrong in my videos.
It's incredible how a person that is recognized as a good speaker in public, could complicate in front of camera. Obviously I'm talking about me, And I think a good portion of the problem rest in my ego, in my esthetics blocking paradigms and trivial but not less important things like that. Once you start to practice as you recommend in your videos, you can discover your angles, your confidence, your voice, your dynamics, as simple as seeing you, taking notes y trying to create something as your 5 mantras to talk in confidence, because everybody needs reflect and write their own mantras, I think is part of the job, the exercise. Thanks again.
I am following you from few years ago .. and I so happy because you come back talking on filmmaking and cinematography .. i will travel tomorrow morning and then yesterday I saw some of your previous videos like (b roll architecture) ... Your videos on filmmaking are stunning and Inspired me to make a family vlogs and videos .. Ahmed from Egypt .. thanks alot
Great inspiring video. I will do this Challenge myself. Trying to one day, live off of making content myself. I have ideas but i have yet to get started and get good at it. Currently i am going through a very busy and stressful part of my live but this should resolve this summer. And i will immediately start practicing.
Thanks Thomas, this will be my new year resolution. I’ll create the timetable today. Each day containing the topic beforehand. 10 min video each day. We good skill need to be learned!!
I'm autistic, so making eye contact with a person is incredibly difficult for me. I have that same barrier with a camera, but I'm somehow still able to talk normally with it. It's almost easier than talking with a person. I can just rattle off my thoughts and then edit it down for any times I need to pause or any times I ramble.
It's crazy that I was trying to practise filming myself just a couple of hours ago today and was checking your chanel to see if there is any new videos and here we are 😧 Good job you both, it was very helpful as always! And nice to see you back in London Thomas! Hopefuly I can get a collab with you when I am successful enough 😄

absolutely helpful. I’m going to try this!

Good tip. I use a cartooniish picture of a kid or teddy bear instead, but same idea
I don't think people realize how different talking to a camera is from talking to a person. What a transformation though from day 1 to day 30. You just reminded everyone it's possible!
Iam doing the same how to talk to camera and iam on day15 . transformation is insane 😅 I can't believe it ,this trick is working😊😅 .Day1 to day15 oof🫨
Whats the difference really?
@@FatTonyTheSkipperthe difference is you're just talking to a audience instead of an person..!
Just use a teleprompter feeding you what the camera is recording in real time. This way it's like talking to a mirror.
Everyone can talk confidently to themselves 🤣
Person to person conversational discussion is easier than talking your ideas on camera for 10 minutes.
An important realization I have discovered is a relationship between confidence with talking to cameras and communication in real conversations. As i have improved my skills with the camera, i have gained confidence and strength in face to face conversations. Something to consider as you practice...
thats good to hear, im still frightfully shy.
@@Michael-NZ you are not shy, you are insecure and your insecurity is a result of you feeling unworthy. gotta work at the root cause and not fiddle with effects.
“I’m just a guy in a racing jacket, on the Internet”. Hilarious 😊 Love it
Every time I hear "talking to camera" I want to say, "it's talking to 'A' camera.... talking to AAAAAAAAAA camera!!!" lol - great video though.
😂😂😂
This video will change of my life , will comment on it back after 30 days. Wish me luck

I think Matt's starting point was already pretty decent. Would love to see this done with someone who's much worse to begin with (like myself).
More coming soon!
He looks good and has a good voice, he's a natural.
i agree, as most people would be a bag of nerves!!
Just start and make a Video about it 😋

Awesome video and awesome progress! “A river of gold coins… I’m just a guy in a racing jacket!” Made me laugh along with you so much.
That's a sure thing! Thanks! Just add, that even you have a best mike, curtains help you to reduce echo!
Don't know why I clicked but I stayed because Matt was so cool and fun to watch :)
This is very life changing guys. i tried it myself. Anyone can change. Just trust the process and dont be shy
This is a great video. Such a good hook I want to try it now. This is great Thomas
Great video. Nice way to demonstrate your program. I'm convinced it works just by watching the progess.
The best❤️ needed it the most
Thanks. I will try this challenge.
Heck this was good - Count me in! Right behind you!
I'm autistic, so making eye contact with a person is incredibly difficult for me. I have that same barrier with a camera, but I'm somehow still able to talk normally with it. It's almost easier than talking with a person. I can just rattle off my thoughts and then edit it down for any times I need to pause or any times I ramble.
Where the F##K have you been?
This is EXACTLY the type of content I have needed! (Subbed)
Dope. go sub to @portalcreative - that's where all the new talking to camera content its!
It's crazy that I was trying to practise filming myself just a couple of hours ago today and was checking your chanel to see if there is any new videos and here we are 😧
Good job you both, it was very helpful as always! And nice to see you back in London Thomas! Hopefuly I can get a collab with you when I am successful enough 😄
One of the best and use-full videos I’ve seen in a long time. Very good. I’m subbing 👌🏼
That intro was so smooth. [taking notes furiously]
This is a great idea! I am gonna challenge myself as well to speak in front of camera for 30 days! Wish me luck!
Your course sounds great! I'm on camera all the time and I picked up some great tips to improve.
Great film. Really interesting and great to see! Thank you
This was really cool to watch and also really inspiring! Very easy to watch, thank you!
Wow it’s wild that this doesn’t have more reviews. Thank you! I really need to practice
This is just the video I needed to see, after putting off video creation for months!!
Congrats Matt! You are funny and very pleasant. Loved your progress, great job!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! You're the goat.
So good to see...what a transformation ❤️👏🏽
Awesome sign me up! I would love to improve my ability to be listenable hah. Great program!
I love the quote "what do I know, I'm just a guy on the internet in a racing jacket"
Thank you for this video. I t jst popped up and I'm talking to camera now so I nee to learn how to efficiently.
This guy is awesome, he did a great job and this was a great video... it also sells his course, which is smart!
What an improvement! Nicely done!
What a great video - really enjoyed watching the progression.
This was actually amazing to see the progress day by day. I love this!
