About this listen

 Your camera is on. Are you ready? In this episode, Kevin Cameron is joined again by photographer and on-camera coach Rebecca Sanabria for a practical, no-fluff conversation about how to show up with confidence on video - whether you're interviewing, networking, or casting for your next opportunity. Rebecca brings expert insight from behind and in front of the lens, and the result is a must-listen for anyone whose next big career moment is happening on Zoom. From lighting hacks to "main character energy," this episode covers everything you need to make a strong first impression before you even say a word. As Rebecca puts it: "All these little tweaks add up to a big first impression." Key Takeaways Decisions are made in seconds — your lighting, posture, background and energy all signal professionalism before you open your mouth. Face a window or set your light to 5,600 Kelvin to mimic natural light and look your best on camera. Do a test call, download your software early, and shake out nervous energy before you sit down. Keep your background clean and simple — you want the focus on you, not what's behind you. Show up with "main character energy" — confident, present and authentically yourself. Make sure your LinkedIn headshot still looks like you. Refresh it every two years, and think twice before using AI-generated versions.
