Get the jitters when presenting in an on-camera meeting? Professional beauty influencers share some tips.
DO NOT OVERTHINK IT
Her videos may reach tens of thousands of viewers on the Internet, but "it's just me" when filming, says Ms Sahur Saleim, who has gotten used to talking to herself. It helps to keep someone in your head - a colleague or friend - and adjust yourself in the way you would talk to them.
"When I film videos by myself in the middle of the night, I pretend I'm talking to my best friend, so I feel more calm and can articulate what I want to say without feeling flustered."
MAKE NOTES OF WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY
Save yourself the awkwardness of blanking on camera and jot down what you need to say in point form first, advises Ms Yeoh Mong Chin.
"People can't really see you referring to notes off-camera. And keep it short and sweet, as people's attention spans are generally shorter online."
HAVE A LITTLE MIRROR NEXT TO YOUR COMPUTER
"You can't always see what's happening on the little screen of yourself in the meeting," Ms Saleim points out.
Having a mirror can help you see if you have a smudge on your face and make you more conscious of how you are sitting.
She adds: "You can kind of zone out and lose track of what your resting expression is. I've noticed sometimes when I edit my footage that my face looks really blank."
