how do you releave nerves in front of a camera?

Question

find that i will have trouble or be relaxed in front of a camera, trouble with natural smile, have heard the advice on naked people, anything else that might work?

Answer 1

Friend - That naked person thing stinks, lol, all it does is give you giggles. The first thing is to try and FORGET the camera is there and just be normal. If you must look directly into the camera, picture your best friend there (with clothes on). Learning basic relaxation techniques will help most of all. This would include 4x4 relaxation breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, meditation and...try pilates as well. Good luck. GBY
