Presenting to camera can feel intimidating, but with the right techniques, you can own the screen with confidence. Whether you're giving a media interview, recording a corporate video, or hosting a webinar, camera presence is a skill you can master. Here’s three simple tips on how to present to camera like a pro: 1. Think of the Camera as Your Best Friend The biggest mistake people make? Seeing the camera as a cold, intimidating lens instead of a trusted friend. Shift your mindset—imagine you're talking to someone who genuinely supports and listens to you. This simple trick helps with nerves, energy, tone, and pace. When you feel relaxed, your delivery becomes more engaging and natural. 2. Interviews: Who Are You Talking To? In an interview setting, there are always three people in the conversation: The interviewer – the person asking the questions. The audience – the viewers at home or online. You – the expert delivering the message. Where Should You Look? Looking at the interviewer? This makes the conversation feel intimate and authentic. Looking at the camera? This creates a direct connection with your audience, making them feel spoken to personally. Decide before the interview which approach works best for the format and your message. 3. Don't Shout! The Mic is Doing the Work A common mistake in presenting to camera is over-projecting or sometimes not loud enough! If the camera is far away, you might instinctively raise your voice—but remember, if you’re mic’d up, you don’t need to. Speak at a natural volume—your mic will capture every word. We're interested to know...how do you find presenting to camera? How are your teams doing? Do you thrive on insta-live? Zooms? Streamed events?

The reviews are in.... We love getting feedback from clients at The Presenter Studio after our presentation skills sessions with brands. These lovely words have just come in from a company we just worked with. A tailor-made session built around their personal needs and the brand of the business: "The trainer was very good. Def gets the KERB vibe. I thought he held the room really well and was great at giving everyone individual feedback. I really liked that it was not too corporate (no PowerPoint or slides to stare at) and lots of practice in groups and as individuals. There were loads from the session that were useful! The duration and pace was perfect."   "Gareth was great, I think he had a really nice balance between encouragement and direction. I think the session was certainly useful, for sure some good tips I’ll apply next time I’m putting a presentation together." "I think the duration and pace was pretty much perfect. It didn’t feel repetitive and there was no down time, but it also felt complete and not rushed at any point. On the whole, I thought it was amazing! We really made use of the time, I took some great tips and also got to understand what needs to be done to remedy my nerves (I just need to do more panels and speaking events )."   Have a great day everyone!

When it comes to media training it can be very outdated, far too corporate and do you and your business more harm than good. Effective communication is really down to 'you'... And here's why....

Presenting is a visual medium. But lots of our clients forget the importance of what your audience will see.... Your words matter, but so does how you present them. At The Presenter Studio, we teach that visual impact plays a crucial role in audience engagement. Here’s how to elevate your presence: 👔 What to Wear: Confidence Through Clothing Your outfit should reflect your brand and boost confidence. Steve Jobs – Black turtleneck & jeans = simplicity & innovation. Mark Zuckerberg – Hoodie & T-shirt = relaxed startup culture. 💡 Choose clean lines, bold colors, and a polished look. 🎤 Slides: Less Is More Your slides should enhance—not distract from—your speech. ✔ One key point per slide ✔ Ditch bullet points, use images or one-liners ✔ Clean, professional design 💻 Zoom: The Virtual Stage Your background, lighting, and framing matter. 🎥 Background: Clean & professional 💡 Lighting: Soft, natural 📏 Camera Angle: Eye level for engagement 👀 Eye Contact & First Impressions Maintain eye contact for trust and confidence. Look into the camera (for virtual talks) Walk on with purpose & a smile 🎭 Choreography: Move With Purpose Walk when transitioning topics Step toward your audience for impact Avoid aimless pacing Ready to Elevate Your Public Speaking?
