The Visibility Game Plan is a focused, one-hour strategy session designed to help you get seen, remembered, and rebooked. Together, we’ll review what (if any) self-promotion you’re already doing, identify the gaps, and map out the most effective visibility moves for your business or career. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a customized set of next steps to elevate your presence — so the right people finally notice the value you bring. Valued at $250, but complimentary to you.

In our 45 minutes together, we'll discover what's holding you back from establishing a memorable online presence and crafting videos that land more clients. Together, we'll create a strategy for greater effectiveness, so you can gain greater visibility in your industry and convert more leads to customers. Do you have a short video or recorded presentation that you'd like me to review? Send it in advance to laura@lauradoman.com or play it during our session for an overall assessment of your current strengths and areas for improvement.

Because decisions don’t wait for flawless. Let’s get this out of the way right now: Perfection is not the thing that gets you hired. Sure, it’s impressive. Sure, it looks responsible. And yes—it takes time to get there. But more often than not, perfection is an idealized goal , not a real-world requirement. Availability, on the other hand? That’s currency. Especially in a fast-moving world where timelines shrink, budgets expire, and decisions need to be made now . Perfection impresses. Availability gets chosen. Why Availability Beats Perfection in Real Life Speed is in demand—as long as it’s not sloppy. And availability plus a quick response time? That’s the real power couple. This is especially true during the holidays. Not every business can shut down for two weeks at the end of the year. And plenty of organizations have budgets that must be spent by December 31—or the money simply disappears. That spells opportunity for those of us willing to keep an OPEN sign on our virtual doors. Even during the holidays. “Perfection impresses. Availability gets chosen.” What Actually Gets Chosen (When Time Is Tight) In real life—especially when deadlines loom—people aren’t choosing perfect . They’re choosing: Responsive Reliable Clear Easy to work with In other words: available . Especially when they need something done right away . Over the holidays, I was reminded of this in a rather profitable way. When Fewer People Are Working, Being Available Matters More The week of Christmas, I booked a voiceover job for a 20-minute training video. It didn’t come from nowhere. I had already told my clients and prospects that I’d be available through the holidays and could accommodate rush jobs if needed. I wasn’t traveling. My recording studio is in my home. And honestly? I enjoy a break from all the cooking—and the cleanup! So while many voice actors hung up their mics until January, I made myself an available resource. Yup, that's me, hard at work in my voiceover booth - and actually having a very good time! Availability paid off again when an unexpected (and frankly unusual) flood of on-camera auditions landed in my inbox right after Christmas and through New Year’s Day. December is usually quiet—but sometimes schedules get turned upside down. Two commercial auditions arrived with tight turnarounds. I submitted both—well within deadline. Then six more landed late. Very “can you get this in quickly?” energy. Eight auditions. Over the holidays. I didn’t wait to make them perfect. I made them ready . (And let’s be honest—trying to be perfect in this business often leads to stiff, uninspired performances. Casting doesn’t want perfection. They want real, human, authentically-you. Imperfections included.) The result? I was cast in two commercials … …and just got a callback for a third . Not because I was flawless. Because I was available and responsive. Why Availability Is Reassuring (and Magnetic) Availability isn’t just about being around when others aren’t. It’s about making other people’s lives easier. It quietly communicates: Competence Reliability Confidence Long before perfection ever enters the room. And this isn’t just true in voiceover, film, or TV. During the holidays, I also stayed in conversation with people who—like me—were still present. Open. Reachable. Those conversations turned into: Speaking gigs booked for January Potential collaborations New partnerships No theatrics. No pressure.Just presence. This Is Not About Hustling (Please Read This Part) Let me be very clear. This is not about grinding through the holidays. It’s not about never resting. And it’s definitely not about being “on” all the time. That’s exhausting. This is about choice . It’s about noticing when the room gets quieter—and deciding whether being available serves you in that moment. It’s also about communicating what you can do for others , rather than constantly talking about yourself. A Shameless Truth (Because of Course There Is One) You don’t need to be perfect to be chosen. You don’t need to feel fearless to say yes. You don’t need to have everything figured out to be bookable. You just need to show up. And more often than not? That’s the entire difference.

Actor-approved tips to look present, confident, and genuinely you - on camera and off It’s that time of year: Holiday parties. Family gatherings. Festive chaos. And - whether you like it or not - photos. Lots of them. Somewhere between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, you will end up in at least one picture that lives on social media forever. Or at least long enough for someone to tag you before you’ve had coffee. Before you tense up, suck in, or mentally rehearse your “good smile,” take a cue from little kids. (And no, I’m not talking about the ones caught mid–nose-pick or tongue-out rebellion.) I’m talking about how kids are fully present . You can see what they’re thinking. You feel their personality. There’s no self-conscious posing—just pure, unfiltered being . That’s why they’re so fun to look at. And here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a kid - or a model - to photograph well. You just need a little presence, some intention, and a few actor-approved tricks. “People don’t want perfection. They want you .” Instead of Worrying About How You Look… Do This 1. Think a Happy Thought (Yes, Really) If a camera suddenly appears while you’re mid-conversation or reaching for another cookie, don’t panic. Think about: A joke you just laughed at A moment you enjoyed at the party A favorite bite, song, or conversation That memory shows up instantly—in your face, your eyes, your energy. Give the photographer what they want and they’ll move on faster. Win-win. 2. Look at the Camera Like a Human, Not a Deer You don’t need to stare it down. Just know that someone - later - will be looking at that photo. Let it feel like a brief moment of connection: "Oh, hi. Nice to see you.” That’s it. 3. Smile Like You Mean It (Not Like You’re Auditioning) Most people just want to see happiness . And a public service announcement: Attempts to look “sexy” in holiday photos often age… poorly. Duck face? No. Please. Never. Ugh. If you don’t love a big toothy grin, that’s fine. A relaxed, closed-mouth smile with warmth behind it works beautifully. Let it reach your eyes. 4. Smile With Your Eyes An empty grin paired with bored or disconnected eyes reads as fake every time. Real photos come from real engagement. Even a subtle shift - softening your eyes, lifting your cheeks - makes a massive difference. 5. Let Your Body Language Do the Heavy Lifting You may not get your “best side” in a group shot. That’s okay. Borrow a few tricks from actors and lifestyle models: Posture & Body Lines Stand tall: Straight spine, shoulders relaxed, chest open Create angles: Shift weight, pop one knee, turn slightly ¾ to camera Elongate: Think ballet or yoga - long lines, not stiffness Avoid freezing: Don’t lock up. Find gentle movement and flow Hands & Face Relax your hands: Soft fingers - no fists Use angles: Turn your head slightly; don’t lock it straight-on Subtle expressions: Small shifts read powerfully on camera Add Realism Staged candids: Hold a glass, lean against something, pretend to walk Movement helps: Music loosens everything Find a base: One flattering stance, then play with hands and upper body The Mindset That Makes Everything Work When You Want to Look Great in Holiday Photos Who doesn't want to look great in holiday photos? Especially years from now when you and your kids (or grandkids) are looking back on family memories? Just keep these three things top of mind: Confidence: Comfort shows up visually Presence: Be where you are Storytelling: Even a single photo tells a story - choose a good one Final Thought The best holiday photos aren’t about perfect angles or flawless smiles. They’re about looking like someone people want to be around . So relax. Enjoy yourself. Be present. And let the camera catch that version of you. Want to add talking on camera so it looks - and sounds - effortless? Engaging? Memorable? I can help you with that, too, 'natch. You know the drill. Just reach out and we'll make the camera your playground.

The mindset shift that finally makes video feel natural and confident You hit record. You say the words. And then you watch it back and immediately think: “Ugh. I don’t look right.”“Why do I sound like that?”“This is terrible.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. Even professional actors run that same conversation in their heads when self-taping auditions for film, TV, and commercials. I experienced this  exact  thing today while preparing a commercial audition. Normally, I can knock out an audition in one or two takes. Try too often, though, and it’ll start to look over-rehearsed and stale. Today? Aarrghh. Nothing worked. Every version looked forced. Unnatural. Like something I’d change the channel to avoid watching. And the technical setup was fine. The real problem? 👉  My mindset. Your MINDSET - not your appearance - is what makes or breaks your on-camera confidence. Your audience cares far more about your message than your perceived imperfections. When Your Head Gets in the Way of the Camera The role called for a laid-back, younger woman from the Deep South. Now, if you look at me or hear me speak, you’d probably guess New York. (Nope, I’m actually a native Clevelander.) I’m also far more Energizer Bunny than “cool and laid-back.” OK, I live in the South. Yes, I have mellow moments. But it’s a safe bet that no one is confusing me with a true Southern belle. 😉 So what happened? Before I even began, the narrative in my head was “I’m wrong for this role.” And once that thought lodged in my brain, everything looked stiff. Forced. Overthought. My delivery was trying to  fit instead of simply  be. I was sabotaging myself with that belief. Then something interesting happened. I stopped analyzing. I stopped trying to match “what they probably want.” (Casting often doesn't know what they want, either. It's often "we'll know it when we see it." Bottom line: I stopped judging myself. I just… did the role. And BOOM! suddenly, the audition worked. Well, nothing Oscar-worthy, but definitely better than it had before. Whether casting loves it or not is out of my control. But what  is  in my control is this: they received a strong, professional audition from a confident communicator. And who knows? It wouldn’t be the first time an actor sent in an audition that they privately thought wasn’t one of their best effort, only for it to book the role. This Is Exactly What’s Happening to You on Video, Too My point is this: If you struggle on camera for your business - whether it’s for social media, marketing videos, webinars, or Zoom presentations - the issue usually isn’t your lighting, your camera, or your script. It’s what’s happening between your ears. My guess is that you’re thinking about: How you look How you sound Whether you’re “good enough” Whether people will judge you Whether you belong on camera at ALL And the moment your attention shifts inward to self-judgment, your presence collapses. Psst! Here’s the truth most people need to hear: Your audience cares far more about your message than your perceived imperfections. Whether you’re selling hotel rooms, financial services, coaching programs, or consulting expertise - people are The 3 Most Important Things to Do Before You Hit “Record” If you want to look more confident, natural, and charismatic on camera, start here: 1. Focus on the Value You’re Delivering Stop making the video about  you. Make it about what your audience needs in that moment. What problem are you helping them solve? What insight are you sharing? What result do you want them to walk away with? Your intention shows up on camera more than you realize. 2. Silence the Inner Critic That voice that says you’re too old, not interesting, not qualified, not “camera-ready”?That’s not intuition. That’s fear. And fear is the fastest way to flatten your energy and sabotage your delivery. 3. Relax and Let Your Personality Lead You don’t need a “video persona.” You need permission to be yourself. When you relax—even just a little—your natural warmth, humor, authority, and authenticity come through. And that’s what people actually respond to. Why Mindset Is the Foundation of On-Camera Confidence I work with high-level professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners every day who are brilliant in real conversations… and freeze the second a camera comes on. Not because they lack skill. Because they’ve never been taught how to: Shift out of self-consciousness Build confidence under pressure Use the camera as a tool instead of a threat Communicate with presence in a digital space That’s where my dual background comes in - as a working actor who lives on camera, and as a coach who understands the real-world pressure of showing up on video to grow a business. I’ve been where you are. And I know how to get you past it. If This Hit Home, Let’s Talk If you’re tired of: Avoiding video Re-recording endlessly Feeling stiff, awkward, or “off” Knowing you  could  show up better—but not knowing how Then this is your invitation. I offer a  free 1:1 strategy session  where we: Identify exactly what’s blocking your on-camera confidence Clarify your communication goals And determine the fastest, most effective way for you to show up with clarity, comfort, and charisma on camera There’s no pressure. Just insight, strategy, and real direction. 👉  Click here to schedule your free 1:1 on-camera confidence strategy session. Because when your mindset shifts, everything on camera changes. And you deserve to be seen as the confident, credible professional you already are. This can be the year you stop “trying” to be good on camera - and start  being  great. Ready to begin? Let’s talk.
