Explain why you're passionate about your work

How's your posture? • Energy level: Does your enthusiasm match your message? (Higher energy for exciting topics, measured energy for serious ones) • Facial expressions: Do you appear engaged, approachable, and authentic? • Filler words: Count how many times you say "um," "uh," "like," "you know," etc.

Same closing call-to-action
Hook Styles to Try:

Question Hook: Open with a thought-provoking question
Statistic Hook: Start with a surprising fact or statistic
Story Hook: Begin with a brief personal anecdote
Problem Hook: Identify a specific pain point your audience faces
Curiosity Gap: Make a statement that creates curiosity (e.g., "The one thing most people get wrong about...")
Pattern Interrupt: Do something unexpected or contrary to viewer expectations
Feedback Process:
Show both videos to at least 3-5 people (friends, family, colleagues, or your target audience)
Ask them these specific questions:
Which video held your attention longer?
At what point (if any) did you feel your attention drifting?
Which hook made you most curious about what was coming next?
Which video would make you more likely to follow for more content?

Are You in a Love/Hate Relationship with the Camera? Let’s Fix That!
Does the thought of presenting on video or speaking in public make your palms sweat? Do you dread hitting record because you’re not sure what to say, or how you look and sound saying it?

Whether you’re creating content for your business, your ministry, your team, or your personal brand, being able to present confidently on camera is no longer optional. It's a requirement if you want your message to reach any audience.

About the Instructor
Hi, I’m Dwayne Riner.
I’ve spent over 20 years helping people communicate clearly and confidently—on stage, on camera, and in front of live audiences of thousands. I’ve directed and presented in hundreds of video shoots, coached on-camera presenters, and created online courses and commercials alongside Emmy-winning teams.
But I didn’t start out polished. I’ve fumbled through awkward videos, cringed at my own delivery, and learned everything I’m teaching you the hard way—through real-world experience, not acting school.
This course brings all of that together to give you a shortcut. It’s the training I wish I had when I started—and I’m excited to walk you through it.
