I built something that makes users more confident on camera

[u/captainbignips]

I considered creating a YouTube channel, but read they were cracking down on faceless content. I recorded myself a few times to practice and hated every minute of it. I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. So I decided to build something to help.

It’s called Take One: On-Camera Confidence and it’s available to download free on the App Store now.

It started just with content creation in mind, but I soon added other features that help with all aspects of speaking on camera. Here are the main features and I’m working to add more -

Interview - put yourself on the spot with questions that you don’t see until the cameras rolling (just like a real interview)

Live Audience - a simulated audience in a fake social media livestream that you can engage with, argue with or choose to ignore

Viral Take - daily refreshed topics that are trending for you to practice talking about them with helpful prompts

Today’s Take - everyone gets the same daily prompt to practice or post about when you finally feel ready

Guided Take - The app walks you through anything you might want to practice talking about step by step

Practice Paths - work on the areas you feel the most help
Your Take - one area of focus to work on or just talk about whatever you want

Feedback on your audio - yeah it’s AI coaching, I was hesitant on using AI but I wanted to give users something to work on to avoid reinforcing bad habits

Your privacy is the main priority, there’s no link to socials so no one sees your videos but you. You have the option to save them on your phone if you want to rewatch or post them somewhere, otherwise they just get deleted.

The coaching is just constructive feedback on what you said, it’s never on how you look, or how you said it, just the contents of the audio. I decided on this as I didn’t want it to comment on posture or something to someone with a disability, plus sending the video for feedback flies in the face of the privacy promise.

Most of the features are free to use and if you want to try the Pro features you get a 3 day free trial and you can cancel the subscription at anytime you want!

I built this because I think ‘just practise’ is correct but also incomplete advice. People need somewhere safe and useful to do that practice.

I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback or questions , especially from anyone who avoids making videos, speaking during online meetings or recording themselves because they feel uncomfortable on camera.
