2. Rehearse Your Inner Talent

This is very important because speaking in front of the camera is the only way you can get your message across.
Try This:
- Jot down notes
- List your ideas in bullet points
- Practice speaking.
You can even try it in front of the mirror if you like! In that way, you are more comfortable when you are about to record your vlog, no matter how long your shoot will be.

This means that you wear something that suits your vlogs or livestreams. Whether a polo, a dress or a blouse, that would make your viewers want to watch you and pretty soon, they will be hooked
4. How to Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Aside from how you speak,
you have to make sure you wear that glowing smile 🤗!
Show them that you are interested in what you are talking about so that people will be more engaged with the topic.
Wearing a smile will not only make you feel comfortable but also the viewers who will be watching. Who wouldn’t want to feel more handsome or beautiful right?
5. How to Stay Determined
YES, this is something that you should remember over and over. Practicing patience will help you feel more relaxed when filming. It’s okay to make mistakes because that’s part of the growth process.
No matter how low you get or sometimes your emotions get in the way, you can still manage to get back up after every fall. If you are on Youtube, Facebook or any other platform, being patient is one of the keys to a long term success.
