Top Tips on How to Be Confident on Camera [2025]
https://blog.be.live/how-to-be-confident-on-camera-2025/

Being confident on camera doesn’t always come naturally—but it can be learned. In this article from Be.Live, creators are encouraged to start with small steps like practicing in front of a mirror, adjusting their posture, and breathing through nerves. Confidence is a skill, and like podcasting, it gets better with repetition.

The blog also highlights the importance of preparation—knowing your material, smiling, and focusing on the message rather than perfection. For podcasters expanding into video or livestreams, these tips can make a big difference in how your audience connects with you. It’s all about showing up authentically and letting your passion come through.
