Body language on camera

The signals that say "trust me". Open posture, hands visible, head still, eye line steady. Most untrained interviewees fidget. The fix is small and rehearsable.

Camera amplifies everything. A slight head tilt becomes uncertainty. A fidget becomes anxiety. Crossed arms become defensiveness. The fix is small: open posture, hands visible (not folded), head still, eye line locked on the lens or interviewer. Rehearse it once and it becomes muscle memory.
