When it comes to being in front of a camera, I understand that not everyone likes to be recorded and the most common reason is lack of self-confidence.
When I started recording videos back in 2008, it used to take me over 20 minutes to record a 1 to 2-minute long video with my wife. But with time and practice being in front of a camera right now for me is like riding a bike, it's second nature.
Bottom line, wether is on video or in person if you don’t look and sound confident people will not take you seriously, and it will lead to loss of income.
