video of yourself in front of the mirror, watching yourself on camera, correcting

Smile
With Your Eyes:

coming across the camera as it clearly shows the sincerity and confidence of
the individual. The eyes can tell us whether a smile is real or forced.

Chill:

nerves and sweaty palms as it will depress you. So sit in front of the camera
only when you’re feeling calm, cool, relaxed and collected. It will be added to
your confidence level.

speaking directly to the camera, imagine the camera as a person. In fact, don’t
just imagine camera as a person; imagine it as your best friend. The lens of
the camera supposed to be your best friend’s face, and you’re speaking directly
to them, it will help you a lot.
