Nobody likes being on camera or hearing their own voice—should I still do it?

Yes, absolutely. No one likes it—not you, not other artists, not even the people teaching you. But face-to-camera content consistently outperforms other formats because it creates authentic human connection. The discomfort is universal, but the results are undeniable. You have to be contrarian: do the thing that feels uncomfortable because that’s what works. Your audience wants to see you, hear you, and connect with the person behind the art. Push through the discomfort, and the engagement will follow.
