Build Your Video Momentum (Even if You Hate Being on Camera):Lights, Camera, Actionable🎬 Mondays!

Hi Reader!

Happy Monday!

Welcome back to Lights, Camera, Actionable Mondays, where we turn video marketing dreams into simple, actionable steps to start your week strong.

Building Foundations & Overcoming Initial Hurdles: The Secret is You

Ever feel like every video you see online is perfectly polished… and then you open your camera app and freeze?

Or you scroll through your feed, convinced there’s just no way you could ever be as confident, or as flawless as everyone else?

If this sounds familiar, let me reassure you: every creator starts exactly where you are. And guess what? The people who break through aren’t the most “camera ready”...they’re the ones who hit record anyway, flaws and all.

Here’s something I think we all need to hear (myself included!):

You don’t have to look or sound a certain way to make an impact with video. The real magic happens when you show up as yourself—even if that’s messy hair, a bare face, or a voiceover instead of your face on screen.

If the idea of turning on the camera (or going live!) gives you butterflies (or worse!), know this:

I started behind the scenes in TV (editing & production), and it took me years to feel natural on camera.
My journey included faceless videos, starting and stopping, workshops, and even livestreams that went… well, let’s just say, less than perfect.
The #1 thing that helped me? Taking action before I felt ready, and giving myself permission to be real.

Action Steps: Start Where You Are

Pick ONE Small Step:
Is it writing a script, recording your voice, or showing just your hands instead of your face? Any progress counts.
Use AI to Break Creative Blocks:
Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or NotebookLM can help you brainstorm ideas, organize your thoughts, and prep easy-to-follow scripts. (Check out my recent YouTube video on how I do this!)
Tame Your Inner Critic:
The best videos aren’t the most perfect, they’re the most authentic. Embrace your unique style, quirks, and yes even your imperfections.

Want extra support?

If being “on camera” still feels like too much, start with faceless videos (screen recordings, voiceovers, animated explainer clips) and grow your confidence from there.

I’m running 3 hands-on, no-pressure workshops this fall to show you exactly how easy faceless video can be and you’ll walk away with at least two videos by the end of each session!
