How to get rid of the "freeze in front of the camera"?

Honestly, just practice. If you don't want to waste your camera's battery, practice in front of the mirror. Unfortunately it's just one of those things that practice is the only cure for.

I totally have the same issue. I know what I want to say, but never seem stop come out they way i want it to.. I usually have to do multiple takes of the same line just so I'm happy with they way it comes out.

I think for some people its easy, and others it just takes a lot of practice... I hope it gets easier for both of us

As others said, practice.

I feel like "practicing" is something a lot of YouTubers do not want to do. Like the idea of not buying a camera and 20 minutes later you're on YouTube is just completely unacceptable. Remember, you're putting yourself out there for the world to see, and if you want to make a good impression you need to know what you're doing.

If you're not comfortable performing or speaking on camera, then all that's gonna fix it is doing it a LOT. There really isn't like some secret method that'll boom make you able to speak naturally and effortlessly. It's like learning to juggle. People can tell you tips and hints to help along the way, but unless you put in the time you won't get it, and just like juggling you probably don't want to step on stage until you're ready to.

Practice really does make (closer to) perfect. You could make a bunch of videos that you don't plan to upload even if you really want to get used to it faster.

Thanks for the tips everyone! I will try to practice and I hope in a few months I will be a little better
