Camera Brave Show

Camera Brave Show

Welcome to the Camera Brave Show where I help entrepreneurs build their confidence on-camera and learn to tell their story through video. Each week, I share topics that will help you frame your mindset to focus on your messaging, and teach you how to craft your camera presence. We dig deep into pillars like confidence, energy, and authenticity and how they can help you build deeper connections with your audience. If we haven’t met, my name is Marissa. I’m an award-winning camera personality who is completely self-taught. After spending nearly a decade working on my craft and being labeled a ‘natural,’ I have taken my process and created a coaching system, teaching you how to do the same. I’ve used this framework to transform business owners that were terrified of being on-camera, and can now fearlessly embrace their voice and connect with their audience. Please subscribe to get new episode notifications and listen in weekly to learn how to take the next step to embracing your inner storyteller and becoming Camera Brave.

Body language is one of the most valuable assets for establishing a confident presence. Whether you’re on-camera, on-stage, or in-person networking, It all boils down to the way you carry yourself. Between 70 and 93% of communication is non-verbal, so that’s pretty important! 

Start strong at the base and plant your feet. If your legs are crossed, uncross them to give you a stronger foundation. If you really need to keep still and a...

When we’re talking about short format video, one of the most important aspects is developing a strong CTA. So I recommend building your content backwards. When you plan your content, start with the action you want your audience to take, then build your content around that.

For high-quality and high-performing reels, your content should include these three components: Hook, Value, and CTA. 

To plan your content, start with your CTA (d...

A little encouragement can go a long way in the world of business. The best thing you can do for yourself is to work on building your circle with a community of those that will uplift you. In the moments of wins and especially those moments of fails, having people to turn to can be the ultimate difference between throwing in the towel and pushing forward.

Do you have a community that’s showing up for you when motivation isn’t. Do yo...

Smiling is not going to help you feel confident in video, but here’s a few things that will. Keep in mind that confidence is a result, it’s an outcome. Confidence isn’t something you have to have before you take action, it’s a result of you believing you performed that action well.

I recently spoke at my first conference and learned some valuable lessons my first time professionally taking the stage.

The most remarkable part of the experience was how similar the skillset I use to speak on camera was to the skillset I used to speak on a stage. Key skills like preparation, body language, and energy are all components that work virtually the same on stage as they do on  video.

Today, I challenge you to audit your thoughts. What is that voice in your head saying to you all day long? Is that voice positive or negative?

This episode is based off a quote my mom says all the time: "Positive Thoughts Make Positive Things Happen." It's a very simple concept that states:  what we focus on in life, grows. Does it mean you have to have a perfect life? No, but you do have to focus on the po...
