Hate being on camera? You’re not alone.
One of the main reasons that people don’t create videos is that they are uncomfortable on camera. If they do record video, they hesitate to post any content they’ve created.
The reason most people hate being on camera is that they are afraid of being judged for what the way they look or sound on camera.
If being on camera still makes you nauseous, try my BOCA: Banish On-Camera Anxiety 14-day feel more comfortable and confident on camera technique.
Here’s how BOCA works:
#1 – Step 1 Record One Video Every Day
→ For the next 14 days, record one short video (1–2 minutes) each day on your phone.
→ Share one idea, tip, or insight you would normally share with colleague or client.
→ Keep it simple: sick to one idea only per video.
→ Write a short script or a few notes to stay on track
#2 – Don’t Publish Any of the Videos
→ Do not review, share, or post any of these videos during the 14 days.
→ The goal is to practice without the pressure of perfection or public feedback.
#3 – Day 15 Now It’s Time to Review
→ After 14 days, watch all the videos you recorded from oldest to newest.
→ Notice how much more confident, natural, and engaging you look and sound.
💡Why it Works
The reason BOCA works is because you’re building muscle memory for speaking on camera without overthinking, so video becomes just something you do, not a chore you dread.
And the next time you’re worrying about people judging you on video, just remember a lesson I learned years ago from a presentation coach:
→ nobody cares what you look like
→ nobody cares what you sound like
→ people care if your message is relative to them
