 Hi, my friends call me Lime and I want to help you perform even better in your videos and so let's talk about nervousness. In previous episodes we've talked about being genuine and one of the greatest enemies to that is being too nervous. Now nervousness can enhance your performance but at certain levels it does the opposite. One can perform amazingly off camera but then lose that the second someone presses record. I, for example, tend to start to stutter, lose the words that I'm looking for and just overall lose the ability to perform in a genuine way when I'm nervous. One solution is to give yourself a goal. Actors usually give their characters a goal big or small. For example, my goal as a character could be to make another character love me and then it's my responsibility as an actor to make myself invested in this task and that way I will focus less on there being an audience and therefore I will get less nervous and at the same time I will mean what I say a lot more. So give yourself a task. Now you have a message that you care about getting across so focus on that as your task and let that take focus away from there being a camera or microphone. A closely related tip is to love your performance the more you enjoy yourself the less you will focus on being nervous. So remind yourself why you love doing what you do and or add whatever you can to your performance that makes you almost not being able to wait until your next recording session. Go with what moves you, what you care about, your fire and harvest a path of energy that gives you. Another tip is to give yourself something to do because then you'll have something else to focus on other than being nervous or the pressure turned to tame or so on. These players do it all the time playing games while they while they talk about stuff. Now watch this no no no don't look over there there's lots of weight on there. And then of course there's a classic classic there's a classic with classic there's a classic rhythmic reading with me classic with me classic with me and then of course there's a classic rhythmic breathing and relaxation exercises but I kind of figured that you're familiar with those tricks already if there's too if there's enough demand for it I will make a video about that too but I will leave that out for now. So tell me down there in the comments below how do you handle nervousness thank you so much for watching bye.
