Camera Confidence Information

Camera Confidence is a course offered by Ali Abdaal, designed to help individuals overcome their fear and discomfort with being on camera.

Level Up Your Confidence on Camera

Learn how to speak confidently and comfortably on camera to connect with your audience, whether you’re looking to improve your creativity, career, or communication skills.

A Must-Have Skill. For Everyone.

In today’s world, being able to speak confidently to a camera can genuinely change your life. Whether you’re a YouTuber, a business-person who wants to communicate their ideas, or you have a lot of Zoom meetings, your confidence and comfort on camera is one factor that can really swing things in your favour.

The truth is, video plays a huge role in all our lives.

In fact, I’d go as far as saying that camera confidence is one of the most important skills in the 21st century. Every day people are gaining an edge just because they’re able to express themselves better on camera, look comfortable in front of a lens, and hold people’s attention for longer.

You see, learning to be more confident on camera is the reason why people are able to:

1. Grow creative businesses with millions of followers (like YouTube & TikTok), giving them total freedom to work on what they enjoy every single day;
2. Nail the interview for their dream job, instead of remaining in a job they hate;
3. Feel confident, outgoing and energised in all social situations, helping them to make more friends, meet more people, and try new things;
4. Climb the career ladder faster, given their confidence negotiating deals, networking, and building strong relationships with their colleagues & boss, and;
5. Attract more life-changing opportunities and benefit from the social serendipity that comes from being more outgoing in all aspects of their life, which is increasingly done on camera.

There’s literally a million different ways that speaking on camera can improve your life. And it’s played a major role in building my entire career too.

The Struggle is Real

Being comfortable on camera can be tough and it doesn’t come naturally to most of us.

Even if you imagine yourself to be this happy and engaging person, things can very quickly change as soon as you hit the record button. Some of us freeze. Some of us feel awkward and uncomfortable. Some of us just stumble over our words and struggle to string a single sentence together.

It’s painful.

This pain may not even end after you stop recording either. If you’re like me, you’ve probably watched back one of your videos and thought “oh my god, why is this so bad?”. You cringe at listening to your own voice and realise your worst fears: you’re as boring, monotone, and incoherent as you feared.

For many of us, we think this is a good reason to stop trying and tell ourselves that if we’re not confident on camera already then we don’t have much hope.

But, this isn’t true. You can learn to be more confident and highly engaging on camera, regardless of how bad you are when we start.
