So let me address the number one reason most people don't present online where you actually see them. It's because people don't know how to look their best. They're afraid of looking stupid, scared, nervous, uncomfortable, unflattering, double chins showing all legitimate reasons. We're all human beings. We all have some level of vanity. So might as well come to grips with this.

I'm going to show you exactly how to come across your best the number one problem most people have, when they are presenting online is they freeze. I'm here today to tell you about the professional services at my XYZ company. And everything freezes except their mouth. So best thing you can do is to move move the way you do when you're normally relaxed talking to a friend talking to a colleague. Now, it's easier to say that than it is to do it, you're going to have to practice Thank you. Members, you have to move your head see how my head is moving.

If you doubt me, hit the mute button on the video. Now you'll see my head is still moving, you want to move your head, you want to move your face, you also want to move your body and you do want to move your hands now even though you might not see my hands, my hands are moving because when you move your hands, your body moves more, your voice has more fluctuation to it. Those things will have you looking relaxed and comfortable. So you want movement. The next thing you have to remember is you've got to lean forward a little bit. Now I'm standing for this, it's probably going to be easier for you to be sitting.

That's just how I have my studio setup. But if you're doing this from your laptop or your desktop, no reason why you can't sit, but here's what happens if you're sitting back relaxed, you're going to look like you have a double chin. Even if you don't have a double chin. You're going to look fatter and heavier than you are even if you're not overweight. So the worst position you can have Half is sitting back. The next big mistake people have is sitting up perfectly straight because now I look scared and stiff and nervous, you need to lean forward about 15 degrees into the camera.

So here I mean from a side view, you can now see, I am leaning forward. It's not necessarily good posture in the traditional sense, but it will make you look best on TV, it creates a stronger jawline, and the camera latches on to your face. The other thing that's crucial your eyes if you're trying to look at the camera, and then you have your notes up on the wall or a teleprompter over here you become literally shifty eyed. Again, as I mentioned in an earlier lecture, there's nothing wrong with occasionally glancing down looking at notes and coming back and doing it again. But most of the time you should be looking at the camera. The Key of course, is you have to keep moving your head because if your head freezes, and nothing else is moving again, looks like a robot You don't seem believable.

The other thing that's important on camera, she's a little bit of a smile. Because if you're just like this and talking like this, it's gonna make your face look blank, scared, flat, on interested. So you need a little bit of a smile on your face, just to look relaxed and comfortable. So these are the basics. I want you to record yourself on video now, specifically practicing moving your face, moving your eyebrows, moving your head, moving your body and moving your hands, dude. All right now, record it and then look at it.

See what you think.
