Course Description
Stop dreading the camera. Start owning it.
If your voice gets tight the moment a webcam light turns on, or your meetings, recorded updates, and video presentations feel like a performance you're failing at — this course rebuilds the skill from the ground up.
You'll learn how to handle nerves before you hit record, structure what you say so it actually lands, and use your body and voice the way confident on-camera communicators do, without sounding scripted or stiff.

The training has been broken down into small doses and very authentic, for example, there is encouragement to do the things with fear, but push it aside, body posture is important, looking into the camera for those kind of presentation, taking small video's. I have enjoyed the training.

Helpful course that explain very clear how to improve your public speaking skills. I'm usually not good in presenting, I don't feel confident, but now I feel like I know what I need to practice to change my perception and fear regarding presentations.
By Yoshiaki Nagaoka on 4/20/2021
I took this course because I started my Vlog channel on YouTube but didn't know how to speak better in front of camera. I think this course offers valuable information for those who want to improve public speaking/presentation skills.
By Anonymized User on 4/16/2021
Great tips and techniques to improve your communication with audiences, I prefer the speakers with more "charisma" (funny persons) but Jimmy does an excellent work conveying his way to understand the world of a professional speaker.
By Martin MrSorry on 5/4/2019
I have done New year's resolution - watch and learn all Jimmy's courses. Everyday, whatever happens, I must watch and think about his words. It helps me to develop, I literally feel it. Also it's ideal for learning the body language. Imitate Jakub, immitate his language. Best tutor ever, nobody has more practical content. This year, learn and mainly PRACTICE all stuff from this guy.

The title is Video Presentation Skills - How To Be Confident on Camera, but it lacks depth. It mostly consists of motivational speaker-type admonitions with very few real process or techniques offered.
By Agnessa Spichka on 7/7/2018
With Regard to Content: I studied Psychology in college and in spite of my educational background I'd like to say that while a lot of the topics Jimmy shares might appear basic from the forefront, he presents them in a very relevant way. He dives deeper into the topics and ties them to everyday experiences in a way that allows his students to relate on a more personal level and really take in what is presented. He encourages us to stop and take moments to practice and even stops to carry out examples himself which helps the viewer to better register the content. We then have a clearer understanding of how to pick out these characteristics in our own presentations once we do apply them hands-on. I say this because there are a lot of resources out there teaching how to be confident, how to feel good, and how to better present. The concepts appear simple when read and heard, yet people still struggle to adapt them to their own lives. Here Jimmy bridges that gap between the content and bringing that content to life. Speed of Delivery: Jimmy presents with a very articulate and easy to follow pace. This is extremely helpful and often preferred by a good number of viewers. However, it is very easy to speed up the lessons by x1.25 or even x1.50 for those of us who prefer a more swift pace so it's convenient for either type of crowd. Style of Presentation: I really enjoy Jimmy's energy and passion for the course topics and I trust what he has to say because I can see that he exhibits all these qualities himself as he speaks. He is a great presenter. You can tell English isn't his first language and he doesn't let that inhibit him. His style of expression is very genuine and his lessons are simply enjoyable to watch. What better way to learn than to enjoy what you're learning. He's a very likable guy. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

Jimmy delivers useful content in a relatable and easy to understand format. I would recommend this as quick review. There are lots of things we know, but in today's busy world it's good to be reminded of what's important.
By Mirena Petkova on 7/22/2017
I like his style - it is understandable and focused on the topic! He gives me practical information, which helps me a lot! English is not my native language, but I understand him perfect! I had to make some videos for our company and his tips were priceless for me!
