157 - How to Record Social Media Videos

Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson: communication coaching for humble leaders

In this episode I’m giving you my top tips for speaking on camera, and getting over that reluctance to record when it’s just you and the camera.

I record A LOT of video content - this podcast, for one, as well as course videos, Instagram reels and stories, and I’ve picked up a few tricks along the way to move past that reluctance to hit record and just do it.

Listen in to hear:

• Why it’s perfectly normal to struggle with speaking to a camera without an audience.

• Why creating content quickly can help maintain momentum.

• How to quickly plan the content of your video (not your script) to get you moving

• Why authenticity in video content is more engaging than perfection.

• Why I’m a big fan of recording once and publishing

• The only part of your video I suggest you practice

• My hot tip for connecting with an absent, invisible audience
