The invaluable handbook for acing your on-camera appearance

On-Camera Coach is your personal coach for becoming great on camera. From Skype interviews and virtual conferences to shareholder presentations and television appearances, this book shows you how to master the art of on-camera presentation to deliver your message clearly, effectively, and with confidence. Fear of public speaking is common, but even the most seasoned speakers freeze in front of a single lens—being on camera demands an entirely new set of skills above and beyond the usual presentation to an audience you can actually see. It requires special attention to the way you move, the way you speak, and even the way you dress. This book provides the guidance and tools you need to ace it every time.

Video is powerful, and it is everywhere; corporate YouTube channels, webinars, virtual meetings, TedTalks, and more are increasingly turning the lens on those who typically remain behind the scenes. This relatively recent trend will continue to expand as media plays a larger role in business, and the ability to appear confident, authoritative, and polished is becoming a necessary job skill. This book shows you everything you need to know about being on camera, from preparation through presentation and beyond.

Learn how to prepare for an on-camera appearance
Tailor your presentation to on-camera demands
Discover how the camera interprets wardrobe and body language

Appear dynamic, confident, and engaged when the lens points your way

The lens captures everything—the awkward pauses, the nervous fidgets, poor posture, and every false start and mistake is captured for posterity. Is that the image you want to present? You want to get your message across and be heard; to do that, you must portray authority, energy, and confidence—even when you don't feel it. On-Camera Coach provides the expert instruction and insider secrets that help you make your message sing.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

For the business executive of today--and surely of tomorrow--beingable to communicate through a camera is an essential skill. It's power-ful. It's immediate. It's often necessary to reach global audiences.

It's never been easier to leverage video across the corporate land-scape to reach both internal and external audiences. Cameras areno longer con ned to studios or designated videoconference rooms;they're on our phones, our laptops, and our tablets. A face-to-facemeeting with a client on the other side of the world may require onlya video chat app and a strong Wi-Fi network.

But speaking to a camera is not like speaking to a roomful of peo-ple you can actually see. It requires an entirely different skill set--onemost people don't innately possess. This book aims to take the mysteryout of communicating through the camera and provide speci c tipsand techniques that can make your message sing--and you, the mes-senger, feel con dent in a job well done.

From the Inside Flap

There's no escaping the fact that the ability to perform on-camera has become an essential business skill. Written by a top presentation coach and award-winning news anchor, this book takes the mystery out of performing on video and tells you what you need to know to appear confident, engaging, and in control in front of the camera, and to make your message sing.

The camera captures and exaggerates all awkward pauses, fidgets, and nervous ticks--and every oddity is recorded for posterity. A poor performance can broadcast the wrong message about you, your intentions, and your organization. If professional entertainers need coaching to come across well on video, is it any wonder that a business professional, even one with years of public speaking experience, would too?

That's where On-Camera Coach comes in. Whether you're preparing to speak before shareholders or employees, appear in a marketing video, take part in an on-air interview, or even give a TED Talk, On-Camera Coach arms you with the tools you need to present effectively before a camera.

Karin Reed covers every stage of the successful on-camera performance, from initial preparation and wardrobe selection, to presentation and Q & A. She explores common misconceptions about performing in videos and alerts you to mistakes businesspeople often make when appearing on camera. And she gives you priceless pointers on how to dress, how to stand and sit, what to do with your hands, how to control the pitch of your voice and the rhythms of your speech, where to look and where never to look, and much more.

Whether for Skype interviews or virtual conferences, shareholder presentations, or television appearances, On-Camera Coach walks you through all the steps involved in delivering your message clearly, effectively, and with confidence.

From the Back Cover

"In today's increasingly video-driven world, all of us need help communicating our ideas in a natural and approachable manner. Karin Reed's On-Camera Coach is an excellent starting point for anyone who needs to learn how best to communicate their ideas on video while avoiding common pitfalls that could easily distract from their intended message. Her personal anecdotes from her own on-camera experiences are entertaining while clearly demonstrating techniques needed to prepare and practice for a medium that does not come naturally for most of us."
--Andrew Schwab, President, First Flight Venture Center

"Being great at speaking in front of a room doesn't guarantee success on camera. This book reveals many valuable lessons Karin taught me over time when we have worked together. I highly recommend that you read and take heed of her advice before going on camera. You'll considerably improve your performance."
--Bill Franks, Chief Analytics Officer, Teradata, and author of Taming the Big Data Tidal Wave and The Analytics Revolution

"Video is possibly the most effective media for reaching other people, conveying ideas, and selling products. Karin Reed's training gave me the edge I needed to produce professional-quality videos. Whether you want to promote a startup, communicate with colleagues, or apply for a job as a news commentator, On-Camera Coach will help you polish your skills for optimal results!"
--William C. Rawls, Jr., MD, Physician and Co-Founder, Vital Plan

"I am an experienced public speaker, but I was intimidated by the camera, until I had the opportunity to participate in Karin's workshop. She provided practical advice to make me feel good, look good (well, better), and do better in front of the camera. I have so much more confidence that I even look forward to on-camera appearances now! She's both professional and approachable, and that comes through clearly in this book. Having this book is like having a private consultation with Karin before every on-camera experience! I will definitely be keeping a copy at my desk--you should too!"
--Kelly A. McGuire, Vice President, Advanced Analytics, Wyndham Destination Network

"Karin accomplishes what few authors can--she reaches through the pages to personally connect with the reader, turning what might have been a book about on-camera tactics into a supportive and educational conversation. Her insights are simple, direct, and effective. If you're looking for a guide and mentor to mastering on-camera communications, look no further. Karin is the coach we all want in our corner."
--Bill Harper, CEO and Chief Creative Officer, wmHarper

With her clear, concise prose, and her warmly encouraging tone, Karin has written an indispensable guide to improving your performance in a variety of video scenarios. Think you don't need this book because you've never needed to be in front of a camera? Think again. As Karin explains, our world is becoming more dependent on visual components, ranging from videoconferencing, to video web content creation, to Skype interviews. So, nowadays, everyone needs this book. The chapters are designed to sequentially build your skills, as you reinforce the learning process with exercises that are carefully constructed so that you can easily conduct a self-analysis on your progress. Exercises may sound like a drag, but they are not at all. It is amazing to do the exercise and watch yourself inadvertently doing the things that Karin cautions against. There are tips at the end of each exercise that help you to correct those aspects of your performance, so when you do the exercise again, you see real improvement. It's not only the exercises that are beneficial, however. Karin practices what she preaches with respect to content - the major takeaways in each chapter are easy to grasp and remember. Her writing is enlivened not only with interesting case studies, but also with stories from her own experiences with public speaking and on-camera work. Lest you think that she was always a polished performer, she'll disabuse you of that pretty quickly with some funny tales from her early years. In short, this is a book that will both inform you and entertain you, while lighting the path toward developing a better relationship with the ubiquitous camera lens. I highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017

So I'll be honest: I have not read this book. But I have taken her class and it is fantastic. While I have always been comfortable on stage and in front of large audiences, video flummoxed me - I wasn't sure what to do with my hands, where to look, what to wear.......Karin fixed all of that for me. I got rave reviews on my first "real" video at work - professionally produced, shot in a studio, etc. - and I owe it all to Karin. So if you can't take her class in person, definitely get the book!

If you want to stand out in a video-driven world with authenticity, credibility and impact, then look no further than Karin Reed's "On-Camera Coach." Written in an engaging style, with personal anecdotes and practical tips, Karin shares how you can tune your performance by addressing the mental, vocal, and physical dimensions of video communications.

Even though I had taken Karin's on-camera performance workshop a few years ago, her book offers new insights and techniques for captivating and connecting with your audience--on camera or in person. I highly recommend it!
