Become a Pro by Mastering Body Language

As a performer on an adult webcam site, body language plays a significant role in how you establish yourself as a professional.

Mastering sexy and alluring body language will encourage positive viewer perceptions of you, which determines how they engage with you.

Whether you're a seasoned cam model or new to the industry, perfecting the elements of body language will strengthen connections with new and existing fans.

So, work on your awareness of these elements and you'll be on the right track to success.

The Power of Posture

Your posture tells a lot about you, before you even say a word to your audience.

To create a positive first impression, I recommend sitting up straight and centred in the camera view.

Keep your back straight and shoulders back as this creates an air of confidence. Many viewers will be captivated by this enticing allure.

A seated, purposeful posture demonstrates power and attentiveness!

It also encourages an open vibe in your chat room.

TOP TIP: Lean slightly towards the camera as this signals a readiness and receptiveness to play!

I recommend you don't do this: Lay down.

This is because laying down can appear lazy. Worse still, "slouching" suggests lack of enthusiasm and/or low energy levels, which many viewers (certainly the ones that have money to spend) will find this a turn off.

You will find that viewers will match your energy on cam sites. My experience tells me that this is almost always the case.

For example, you would make less money / get slower engagement in a position that makes you appear too relaxed - versus choosing a position where you're upright, alert and all set be a badass.

Eye Contact: The Ultimate Connection

There's a saying that the eyes are the window to the soul. In cam modeling, that could not be more true.

Maintaining eye contact with viewers can help build a strong connection.

By return, they'll want to get stuck into your performance and find it hard to leave!

TOP TIP: Try to hold that sexy eye contact with the cam to encourage the audience on the receiving end to chat, tip or go private with you.

With this in mind I recommend positioning the webcam directly above your laptop. This will enable you to quickly cast your eyes between the webcam and the chat on your screen.

You don't want to be looking in another direction to read and respond to chat, Nor do you want to turn your head to look into the cam.

This is because from a viewer perspective; it makes the show look awkward and it's tricky to build a connection with the model.

Gestures Speak Volumes

Gestures are an excellent way to express yourself and emphasise chat. Adding this element of visual enticement will help maintain the attention of fans during your show.

TOP TIP: Use hand movements like stroking, rubbing, tickling and "talking with hands." These are simple adjustments to make which will add so much vibrance to your show.

Gestures bring the performance to life and will make the overall presentation of your cam more interesting to watch.

Be mindful to find a natural, balanced rhythm with gestures though. Too many or repetition of the same ones can be distracting and become bugging to the viewers.

On the other hand, too few may set the impression you're low in energy. Where viewers feel there is a lack of enthusiasm, they're not so easily drawn in by that cam model.

The Allure of Smiling

Smiling dramatically alters the atmosphere of your performance. A genuine smile will see you appear more approachable and friendly, which invites viewers to stay and interact.

A smile lets your audience know you're happy to be online and seeing them, which encourages them to match your positive energy.

Don't do this.... appear moody or stand-offish.

A lack of smile creates a cold and unwelcoming vibe. This omits a negative energy which, from what I've seen; repels the majority viewers.

TOP TIP: Not all smiles are created equal! Practice creating different smiles for different vibes, including those that convey friendliness, playfulness, flirtation, seductiveness and intrigue. Combine smiles with subtle flirty gestures like twiddling the hair or stroking your neck and you're onto a winner!

Create a Calming Space

The state of the working environment can subconsciously influence body language.

A clutter-free and organized backdrop will make you feel more at ease versus one which full of too much stuff and disorganised.

A calm, tidy camming space will improve your sense of workflow and allow your natural charisma to shine!

TOP TIP: Set up your dedicated webcamming space in a fashion which reflects your on-cam persona. A tailor-made environment suited to your style will enhance your sense of comfort, promote positive body language naturally and enable you to express yourself better.

Mastering Body Language takes Practice

Like any skill, mastering body language takes time and effort to perfect.

Something I did in my early days of camming was to record myself performing. I would then play it back with a critical eye, to see how I could tweak and improve.

I studied things like my posture, expressions and adjusted physical elements of my room including the layout - even down to where I positioned my microphone, toys, even the water bottle.

I recommend doing the same as this exercise provides insights into your body language habits that you may not realise you even had.

It also helps identify any awkward things about your chatroom design which may subconsciously be affecting your body language.

Becoming mindful about these going forward will not only be enlightening, but also empowering!

TOP TIP: Experiment with various body and movements, gestures and facial expressions to see what resonates with you as a performer. Monitor how your audience respond in terms of how they chat or monetise your actions.

Becoming a competent performer on cam who cracks the code of body language takes time, trial and error.

By mastering body language, you'll develop your unique style with powerful unspoken habits that see you to connect authentically with fans. Eventually these habits become your trademark.

The eyes have it! Enticing eye contact into your webcam will help viewers to connect with you!

TOP TIP: If ever in doubt, put yourself in your viewers' shoes. Think about what would attract you to a cam model in terms of how she sits, how she smiles and makes eye contact, how she carries herself with her body language. What would you be attracted to? Think about these elements then mirror this vision!
