Description

Then this course is for you.

My name is Jason and I am an international model and actor.

While I thoroughly enjoy being in front of the camera now, it wasn't always the case.

My first casting I had an anxiety attack (& it wasn't the last).

But just because the camera is a relatively new invention to human history, doesn't mean performing under situations of stress is.

Over time I was able to listen to industry mentors & also replicate strategies from other peak performers that hacks into our behavioural biases and allows us to be who we can be, even if the red light is on.

In this course I show you how to firstly look your best on camera with a step by step home studio set-up:

Working with natural light

Setting up your background

Some tricks if you don't have a tripod

Best practices for using a ring light

Options if you have a couple of lights at home (e.g. a lamp)

A 3 point + light set up if you are interesting in extra equipment

Microphone examples

Entry-level camera example

Pre-performance quality control suggestions

In section 2, we then take a deep dive into strategies to build up your confidence especially in a world where we are acting often under the eyes of other people (e.g. on social media):

Getting comfortable with the camera

Staged progression into public opinion

Forgetting who you were, to become who you can be

Building an emotional connection with your message and the audience

Tricks to remove fillers (ums, ahs, likes)

Eye contact behaviour

Industry tricks on building spontaneity

& much more

This is what turned my life experience around, I am sure it will help you too.
