Tip #25: Do Not Video Yourself to Overcome Nervousness | 30 Public Speaking Tips
Tuesday, 25 November, 2025

Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter. Whether you've been speaking professionally for years and years or are looking to just start your public speaking journey, applying just these 30 tips I cover here will instantly and easily make you improve as a speaker. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT VIDEO YOURSELF IF YOU WANT TO OVERCOME NERVOUSNESS. This is one of the absolute biggest mistakes I see in new presenters who are trying to improve their confidence. They think "oh if I can just watch back my presentation I can pick out the issues with it and focus on improving them.". What will actually happen is you will watch it back, nit pick the problems that are barley actually there, and likely leave with even lower confidence of yourself as a presenter. Getting a coach to point out the issues to you without lowering your confidence is a million times better than trying to be your own coach. This does not apply to more advanced speakers though, if you are already confident and are just trying to marginally improve your performance videoing can be a great tool.
