Body language

Stepping in front of a camera can be intimidating, but effective communication is a skill that can be developed.

Body language

Tone, pace and clarity of speech

Dealing with nerves

Your body speaks before you do.

• Maintain eye contact with the camera lens (not your face on the screen).
• Take deep breaths before you start to create a sense of calm.

How you say something is often as important as what you say.

• Keep your pace steady.
• Speak clearly.

• If you stumble on a word, don't panic; briefly pause, smile, and restart.
• Authentic human moments build more trust.
