Video Archive- getting used to your face on video

Posted on 03/02/2012 by Genna

One of the things that stops peeps from getting in front of the camera is the dislike of what their face ACTUALLY looks like on screen.

We’re used to looking in the mirror when our face is static and without movement. So as soon as we see our face moving, our expressions, the way our nose scrunches up when we say something, we get all ‘eeeeuuuw, I don’t like that AT ALL’

It takes a wee bit of practice and doing quite a bit of video before you’ll entirely get used to your face on screen. The video below talks about this and gives you an exercise to do to help you get over this and just get on and record some video!!

Do you have a question?

If you’d like to ask me something, please leave a question in the comments or I’m always about on Twitter, Facebook or email me , I’d be happy to help.

Or go one better and book a consultation! A full 45minutes with me to ask all the questions you have about creating videos of your own.

Go one EVEN BETTER than that and join the Sassy Minx Society where I share more [on a fairly regular, like once a week basis] about being fully self expressed, getting yourself in front of the camera and putting yourself out there & sharing your genius with the world. Plus I always include some cool videos too. Join today, the world NEEDS more minxes!

Video Archive – Inpired Action [from NYC]

Posted on 27/01/2012 by Genna

This little video was shot in Bryant park, behind the New York City library in Nov 2010, just after I had attended Marie Forleo’s Rich Happy & Hot event.

I was inspired to talk about how taking the first step toward a goal is the best thing you can do and that from there all sorts of great things will happen. Oh and if you could help me wish for my long hair again, that would be fabulous!!

PS at the end of the video I mention the ‘Sassy Minx Club’ well that was it’s first incarnation, it’s now the Sassy Minx Society and you can join by popping your details into the form on the top right of the home page or go here

Bridging the gap between you and your dream

Posted on 25/01/2012 by Genna

If you have visited this site more than once you’ll know it tends to be all about video, how you can do it better and how I can help you to Shine on Screen.

Now that’s still true but being great in front of the camera is rooted somewhere a little deeper. It’s rooted in your self confidence, self esteem and most importantly how you express yourself and want to be in the world.

Self expression is my key driver. Without it I feel stunted, stuck and silenced. But I also know that expression without a goal [though fine and dandy when you just HAVE to say what you wanna say] can, with repetition, seem like a stone rattling around in an empty can.

All noise and no intent.

And so it’s important to know what your self expression is for. Is it to achieve your goals? Is it to help others? Perhaps helping others IS achieving your goal.

Last year I had a chat with my wonderful friend & constant inspiration, Lee Chalmers about what it means to have a dream or a goal and why it is crucial to your self development.

Have a wee watch and let me know what you think in the comments.

Would you like to be notified when a new video is up on my site? AND become a member of the super cool & oh so snazzy Sassy Minx Society?

If you become a sassy minx, you’ll get a fairly regular [like, most Fridays] email alerting you to cool things you can do when creating video, my take on how to feel confident in front of the camera + what it means to be self expressed as well as lots of links to other fabulous, creative & cool videos currently online] Go to my main page & fill your details in the form on the top right of the sidebar.
