I look like a pro in the mirror, but a potato on camera.
Is it just me? I practice in front of my bedroom mirror and I feel like I’m ready to debut in a Big 3 company.
But the moment I hit "Record" and watch the playback... who is that? lol. My lines look messy and my facial expressions are so stiff. Does anyone have a trick to bridge the gap between "Mirror Self" and "Camera Self"? Should I stop practicing with a mirror entirely?
STOP because this is literally me. 😭 I’ll be slaying in the mirror and then the camera playback humbled me so fast lol. It’s the "camera lens distortion" I swear!!
Try not to look at the screen while recording! Look straight into the lens like it’s a person. Also, mirrors lie bc everything is flipped. Try practicing with the back camera more!
