# I hate being on camera but I have to sell my product

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

**Short answer**Start with hands-only videos, then voice-over, then a short talking clip. Use notes by the lens, film alone with the phone on a stand, and record five takes and keep the best.

Most people hate how they look and sound on video at first. It fades with reps. Make it easy on yourself:

* Hands and product first, no face needed.
* One sentence on camera: who it's for and why you made it.
* A teleprompter by the lens so you aren't reciting from memory.
* Film alone; Music Wide Selfie's Solo Director waits until you're framed and ready before recording.
