Have you been on-screen virtual for last few years & sick of seeing the same old tired, dingy LIVE set-ups or stilted presenting style?
Time to book yourself in for a rapid repurpose with both text & visual support...
Your practical guidebook help is here: https://bit.ly/TheBook_ConfidenceOnCamera
Then LIVE from 2016 Dublin studio, a few cameras & 2016 edit tools, repurposed as a Be.Live show - this video shares simple studio set-up, mindset fun.
In our post COVID "everyone's virtual" world, we know these simple tips can reboot your on-screen persona perception - by relaxing ^ reviving your , beyond what you're so bored of seeing...
On-screen frustration & tech updates can irritate and bamboozle us all, so get a life & keep LIVE simple !
------------------
'50s TV started LIVE, but with giant machines & mega production-editing teams. Now the world creates their own virtual shows, meetings, events with tech-terrific production tools at our finger-tips...
- But what can easily work for YOU?
- Where can you simply re-start?
- How can you avoid wasting time or spending a fortune?
------------------
I've spent the money & made the mistakes over 30 years, so you don't have to & my 2015 book https://bit.ly/TheBook_ConfidenceOnCamera is mostly about YOU, not the video machines, devices or tools we have to use!
Turn FFWD from Fast Forward to by refocusing via video, virtual, LIVE, back to connect, collaborate & communicate with the people we deserve to serve - developing together through the camera lens...
- start simple, stay easy
- create it & make it with fun
- useful, easy useable, un-aging content that truly
helps viewers & teams connect
Tech WILL change.
Simple skills, well done, won't...
------------------
So what will you let drown you or choose to crown you in 2022 -
or YOUR OWN ?
Been saying it for years coaching Hearn & ever since 1st training Sydney TV presenters back in 1998!
If you want to remember what you really want to say, write it down + EDIT it down to key words = theatre & TV Chunking done since 1980s!
WHY relevant now?
If you're new to video, virtual, LIVE communications - your brain will be full of fears... from your simple studio set-up to speaking on screen with 30% extra-required boosting energy.
SO, WRITE CONTENT DOWN ON PAPER & edit it down to MOST important, engaging, interactive messages... whether creating your own shows or learning from those you watch - ENGAGE YOUR MIND BY WRITING :)
= one less thing to panic about virtual-tech, when your core content, aims, engagement, fun and CTAs on old-school piece of paper right in-front of you!

Sometimes life is crummy... but going LIVE can literally save your mental life... This is #LIVEWithLottie #NeXtGenLearning Impromptu crummy-day- #Replay2020 of an inspiring interview done in 2017, as a promo recording for the 1st Ladies Go Live #VirtualSummit.
It was the 1st full-day online virtual event created by women, for women and the men who supported us, to share & build knowledge and skills across the world for LIVE streamers to buiuld shows for:
1. Creativity
2. Philanthropy or Community
3. #Inspircation (how we Inspire + Educate with viewers!)
4. Business
Pre-summit interviews, training shows and the summit shared 2017 #GoLIVE #GrowLIVE #ThriveLIVE connections - is what Lottie dubbed #NeXtGenLearning via video, virtual + #LIVEStylePresenting in 2018 - even when it's a pre-record...
Interesting how choosing to share a Happy 40th Birthday message and #Inspircation reminder to a friend, mentor & #GlobaLIVE mega-star, can actually rediscover learnings you forgot, give new skills for current mental situations and help you embrace, acknowledge & let-go the **IT that may be going on for you 2020-style!

How to Pro-photo Frame On-Screen + Why Framing Effects Viewers?
Back in 2016 my best mate & her hubby, international pro & art gallery exhibited photographer Edward Barber, came to Dublin. Ed happens to have been an iconic photographer of the 1970-90s, his images were UK front-page-paper-sellers, are now collectible and his "Peace Signs" exhibition photos of the Greenham Common peace protest women, was the 1st "peace photos" exhibition at Imperial War Museum London...
WHY does this matter?
HOW does this relate to on-screen appearances & #LIVEStylePresenting?
BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO REBOOT BASIC VIDEO FRAME, FORMAT, FOCUS (and lighting!).
Once, the artistry behind photography & videography was the realm of highly qualified, experienced visual experts. A photo or classic video could demand vast fees due to the innate professional production.
But today everyone with camera in hand or computer screen seems to set-up with little thought for framing, lighting or how you appear in your surroundings to the viewing eye...
The value and huge importantance of enabling brain-absorbtion, comprehension & clarity VS distraction and sub-conscious irritation seems to have got lost, as we Zoom into vid-blivion.
WHY?
The impact of avoiding "visual white noise" is overlooked, and as a result, so will viewer learning. It can also prevent impulsive or conscious decision-making to act on what you say = loss of potential income!
It matters most because the subliminal brain spots SO much more than we think we see, hear & understand. We make immediate judgement calls, disconnect & switche off so easily.
As presenter-hosts we:
- need to lessen the impact of distraction and increase the chances of
interaction...
- have 3-7 seconds to make an impact in cyclical repetitions...
- have between 15-30 secs to engage & re-engage at different conscious
and sub-conscious learning levels...
- need 3Vs Visual, Vocal, Verbal Impact to be Congruent...
- so our core content message is constantly backed up by how we look &
sound...
THIS IS A VISUAL
Interesting - canât seem to access the #LIVEWithLottie Show post via mobile...
We know as hosts, speakers & viewers, we all love a story. And with minds wanting distractions & fun right now in #COVID19 times #LIVEWithLottie took #Insprication (inspiraction & education) from a childhood fave book "The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe"... If CS Lewis Narnia is the land of adventures, strange creatures and never knowing what will happen next - the LIVE IS Narnia... and all we needed was a Lion, a Witch & a Wardrobe. Could we find them in the forms of professional speakers three?!?
-------------------------------------
Sharing stories, wants, needs & issues with 3 pro-speakers from UK & Ireland, we hear all-too-common video & LIVEs experience issues, and gain collaborative learnings through empowering tips from all.
Watch to discover how to boost your IMPACT when you #GoLIVE, see how on-camera adventures take you to #GrowLIVE well beyond the wardrobe, find how a laughing Witch can give you great joy and a Lion with a secret salesforce communication system, guides you to #ProLIVE speaker better serve your world!

How Co-Vid Can Save Business & You during COVID
Fri the 13th - a time for fear or for stepping up with some savvy to keep your business going during COVID19?
While we may have been closed down in many places in the world, there may be panic, there may be disconnection loneliness affecting many due to office closures, work-from-home (WFH) demands, self-isolation, enforced social distancing and the the work/life fears this global pandemic entails... we have one tool that can easily be used right at our finger-tips: #GlobaLIVE video & virtual interactive tools.
Many of us who have chosen, or are forced, to WFH have used LIVE to grow communities, awareness, projects, businesses and income around the world. And now is the time to maintain our ethical standards and fairly help out others who may be new to it all. We WANT to get everyone comfortable using these tools, as we've known for years LIVE communications, virtual meetings and video conferences are the way to save the planet through less business travel... and now it can help save more than that through simple human connection - without the over-hyped "I'm speaking" perception that could ruin acceptance of our LIVE community. So today, it's #LIVEStylePresenting taken back to basics!
Fears may still be there but those of us who know how are eager to help you out - it can be easy! So on this traditionally "unlucky" day, we're going to chat about how Co-Vid, aka Collaborative Video Presenting and LIVE connections, created in a positive way truly can help save both your business and your soul, during these fretful, unknown times.
We'd LOVE it if you can come join us ready with your How Video Can Help ideas to share in comments - so we can complete this COVID-19 Challenge by creating 19 Co-Vid Tips to help you through tough times...
Some will be serious, some may be silly, but come see how these tools and specifically how you use them, can keep you connected to the world, customers, clients and beyond.

As an out-of-work actor in Australia many moons ago my agent asked me to help her develop her TV Presenter Training workshops. Iâd never done that before, I was petrified, overwhelmed, but I knew I knew how to present TV and she had the basis of the course we grew to fit all kinds of presenters, so my 20-something âfake it till you make itâ guts ânâ glory gusto said yes! That was the kick start to loving training and coaching others how to love sharing their stories, their own way, via that glowing silver screen, big or small, that led to a global speaking, training and mentoring career thatâs now #GlobaLIVE!
Having spent 30+ years âperformingâ in theatres, TV screens, on speaking stages & corporate boardrooms around the world - UK to NZ, AUS to HK, around Asia & Australia and back again to IE, UK and EU (Phew!)... that powerful knowledge of how screens can both entertain, educate, inspire and connect us all, has led me to choose to share the why, what, howâs of #ConfidenceOnCamera to the best of my ability today, and leaning towards a rethink of exactly how... But one learning from years ago still stays the same - the real keys to overcoming camera fears & learning to love sharing why, what, how you support others in your world via video, is in always being grounded, honest and open about what you share. From Core Content to Emotional Connection, being willing to accept both positive perceptions & negative knock-backs, and to be ready to get over viewer or tech-issues and yourself when it all falls apart.
Because frankly, it will.
And more than likely, youâll never know when, so be ready to laugh at yourself at those times!
Thereâs nothing quite more satisfying than stating the obvious issue a social troll might be desperate to point out went wrong, while you simply cope with any perceived disaster with your own style of #ConfidenceOnCamera, which helps others laugh, smile, feel relieved & that your sense of fun could help them cope through the same... Itâs basically the secret behind professional speaking and training - being the most confident, approachable expert, while guiding others through obvious disasters!
My own âexpertiseâ, crazy concepts & learnings gathered over the years, thanks to so many other coaches, mentors and expert guides, helped me create the first ever Guidebook to âConfidence On Camera - 7 Steps to Present Your Power on Any Size Screenâ between my bowel cancer survival fun from 2013-15.
How Did #ConfidenceOnCamera Start?
It all grew from my first 1998 TV Presenter Mentor job, gained after losing out on too many Australian TV auditions due to âyour non-Aussie accentâ, but having had loads of experience creating & presenting TV shows in Hong Kong in my 20s. I was a professionally trained & paid actor, TV presenter & producer, but untrained trainer, training other TV presenters, simply from years as a performer, drama training and with plenty of insight into the fears of having to create, manage & present HK kids and life-style TV shows to a Chinese & international audience! Iâd even fallen into that, after 4 years stage-acting âsuccessesâ & tours over 4 countries. Iâd also been versatile and good enough to become one of HKâs 1990s in-demand Voice-Over artists, starring for international brand ads into China, Jet Li & Jackie Chan movies and Chinese Government promos going out, Longman Publishing English learning tapes, Tom & Jerry doll voices, and voicing a multitude of foreign films and crazy (at the time!) Japanese cartoons, like Pokemon.
Seat-of-my-pants-personal-experience teaching of students from all walks of life, learning to be entrepreneur on-screen presenters for all sorts of output reasons, from biz to stardom, taught me a lot! I taught and learned with World Champions sports stars, millionaire execs, international radio hosts, teens to grannies wanting TV auditions some of whom became global TV stars. Then there was the early corporate business video and global video conferencing needs, with basic TV equipment - I learned the studio & tech-gear may change, but connected, interactive, interested & interesting presenting doesnât! I confirmed my kids TV experiences that the only Point Of View (POV) that matters is ultimately the viewer POV, so connect to them and get out of presenter-EGO! The only reasons we are on screen in any form is because someone else thinks you have the knowledge and skills to help others overcome and achieve, and to help viewers watching make their lives, better, richer, warmer, kinder, easier, easy, easiest.
And most of all - I knew that you could NEVER please all viewers all of the time, so aim to talk & connect through to them ONE at a time - like an intimate conversation. By making that one person someone you know would support, love & laugh with you through anything you said on screen = your greatest fan - youâve got your self-supportive confidence-team!
How to Confidently Assess Your Presenting Skills?
Once you know who you want to be talking to, aka your ideal viewer, your real-life #StageToScreen presenting can simply be broken into three key questions to ask yourself. Your core-confidence, self-knowledge learning questions, to answer in this order are:
What works for you on screen? (what do you like about you on screen?)
What distracts your viewer? (what could be even better than now?)
Overall, what positive words would best describe you? (in a truly supportive way!)
AND IF YOU LEAP TO WHAT YOU DONâT LIKE FIRST - START AGAIN!!!
Now Get Specific for Greater Confidence...
To give yourself specific viewing points for greater clarity, you can break those three self-assessment feedback questions into the 3Vs Key Impact Areas, I first learned about via another â90s Australian acting super-power agency, when hired for their Train The Trainer (TTT) & corporate training courses...
Any presentation can be subconsciously broken down to these 3Vs:
1. The Visual Impact = what we see: physical movements, stance & facial expressions
2. The Vocal Impact = what we hear: the power, clarity, warmth, tone, etc. of your voice
3. The Verbal Impact = the words you choose to use: the story & message you care to share
...or those you donât use yet, which could make you present even better right now!
Why Watch Objectively - as if itâs not really you...?
When you force yourself to objectively rewatch what you do, thinking âYes, be kind. Judgement, let go!â - you can start to find what you like & want to see, the appropriate tone of voice your story needs to have, and therefore the most powerful content you want to share and need to include for the viewersâ POV in every video you do.
Once you have found at least one item you like under each of the 3Vs (in this order, rather than leap to word content first!), write them down. Only then are you allowed to rewatch to notice any 3Vs habits you may have, which could potentially distract a viewer and cause them to want to hit the Stop button. Your aim is to present in a way they want to Press Play!
Having adapted & refined these from #StageToScreen on-camera presenting over the years, I always see the hardships presenters have when asked to find what they LIKE about themselves first! So avoid the self-troll pitfalls and BE KIND!
Can you simply notice your repetitive âcrutchâ habits, moves, vocal notes, noises or phrases, or something youâve yet to do? (SMILE?!?!?!)
Notice those potential distractions, then one-by-one let them go!
They may irritate you, but others may find something endearing, or think itâs just like them...
Your aim is to help them Like you, want to listen & take action with you.
So make it easy to watch & smile/ cry / scream/ laugh with you - simply help them feel it!
And the often forgotten, BEST thing about TV?
If it didnât work we filmed it again, but to a time frame limit, and so can you.
And if itâs LIVE - you laugh your way out of the horrors and learn, as Iâve said since the â90s: âStuff up with Confidence, and Get Over It!â right then, right there, laugh & let it goooo!
Get it? Got it? GOOD!
What Can You Achieve?
Once you can spot what helps you come across as confident, look like youâre loving what you say, that you truly care and are aware of certain habits you may do, you can subconsciously connect/ disconnect/ reconnect your viewer with you. That will be a series of small habits that can be broken in to small achievable chunks leading to an even better perception and more natural style of your own.
During that formal TTT in 2000 (repeated again after 2010 Coca Cola Ireland marketing team redundancy), I discovered that the way Iâd naturally âtrained & marketedâ others was how pro trainers & big business actually did it!
I realised I was allowed to mix experience & knowledge with my own theories, adapting training to be easily demonstrated Live on stage, to turn that learning action into helpful videos, to create my own TV shows, but this time online, without a formal TV station! Coaching volunteers on the stage & screen enabled us to immediately put learnings into practice for business growth, to confirm the confidence gained & to verify each presenter is truly different, because their life and biz is different too! Itâs always great, if not imperative, to get verification of epiphanies, and they often take time to actually sink in. But when you put something youâve been afraid of for years into practice and have fun doing it, you allow yourself to recognise how simple it can really be... So I got people having fun with #ConfidenceOnCamera with me!
Thatâs why I moved into live stream only in 2016, and created #LIVEStylePresenting ethos for pro-speakers, entrepreneurs, biz-video presenters and via creating online LIVE community summits, like @LadiesGoLIVE full day conferences and more interview shows. Itâs why I encourage clients to #GoLIVE without edits only these days - business is not just about those who âknow, like & trust youâ any more - Iâve been saying since 2017, they have to want to work with you too. Consciously ethical business presenters are sharing & growing!
If you canât speak or present from start to finish for 3-10+mins about your core field of expertise, then are you truly an expert?
If doing an hour long interview or training - if youâre more focused on your own questions than your guest, or what the viewer might want/ need to see, are you delivering a service?
Watching trainees grow from their own #LIVEStylePresenting light-bulb moments, to feel instantaneously confident enough to join in and take action via video, to appearing on TV shows and ultimately creating their own LIVE shows has filled me with joy over the years.
Itâs why I deliver so many of my own shows Free to Fee + the book to fit all budgets. LOADS of trainers are doing similar, Iâve even been meaning to adapt & publish my online training programmes for years, but health has got in the way... and now, thereâs so much on the market, Iâd rather recommend others and know those who come to me, do so for very specific reasons, with the investment to do so. I also feel things are shifting to a bigger consciousness arena, having worked with our local TEDx as a Speaker Mentor & been invited back again this year. So cross-generational #NeXtGenPresenting & across the ages #NeXtGenLearning is growing more important to me - looking ahead to future-proof, as I always like to do ;)!

Weâre in the new decade where nearly 200 years ago the 1st photograph was taken in 1826 (the first moving pictures in 1888) and nearly 100 years after the 1st âsound movieâ in 1927... So what will happen to Network TV, business videos and LIVE stream shows in the 2020s?
As I write, poor eyes & MS health âschtuffâ might have held me back from regular #StageToScreen performances this last year, but I still KNOW...
These core learnings & 3Vs specifics can be all you need to raise self-awareness-facts, to get out of screen-presenter fears, and to say no to the acceptance of negativity as truth sadly consuming so many in this world of social-media-judgement world today. You simply need to know what works for you, what makes you smile and have the confidence to speak up, speak out. LIVE & video tools give you the quickest, easiest way to present your mission/ purpose/ community value stories you want to share with positivity across the world today. If your body really canât do it, your voice+images still can!
The type & purpose of content doesnât really matter at the start, so start!
Again, have been saying for years - now is the time to stop telling & selling, Start Sharing & Caring and give yourself the courtesy and kindness of knowing... whatever your story is - youâre sharing it, because it is important to you...
So know - it could be life-changing to someone else out there too.
#ConfidenceOnCamera that works for YOU simply comes from knowing:
You may not change a million lives at the start,
so build one by one, with fun,
shift perception with kindness & heart.
