If you find you are having issues with being around cameras, trying a few deep breaths before going live. If that doesn't work, a quick Google search will find you plenty of websites with advice on public speaking, speaking to a camera, etc.
Don't worry about being camera shy. A lot of people have issues when speaking to a camera. Nervousness is normal - don't forget that. It's just a hurdle you have to overcome, as we all do with something, at some point.

Interesting title for the video, which is, by the way, absolutely not true!
It was a very cute video, but what... still no Adam? ;D Maybe in the next video you could tell us a bit more about what you've seen while on your trip, would be interesting to hear about it!
I'll never include Adam in any of my vids As much as you want to see him lol. He doesn't like being broadcasted on Youtube. I once tried to take a video of him but he almost slammed the camera at the wall .. so not a good idea..
Anyways, i could show you a picture of him lulz.
& again Dieter, when there's a camera in front of me, I usually don't know what to say DX

Meh, don't worry about pictures of Adam, Rury. Turns out that, in some countries, taking pictures of another person without their consent is against the law.
And you're most welcome, Rury! ^.^ Issues with crowds are also normal. Nothing is more unnerving than getting up there and having to speak your best in front of a large group of people. All those actresses, actors, etc. out there who get in front of cameras every day are trained professionals, remember; what applies to them may not apply to the regular folk such as yourself and myself.
lol Erik . I've actually been here for a week. I left around the middle of August to Greece and then a few weeks later went back to Germany.
Addie, I've actually taken Drama classes in school and we've learned breathing exercises before performing, but it's still haven't helped me Weird, eh? Oh Addie, Adam let me xD just not video taking.
And now for the one and only ! AADAAAMM!

I appeared on channel 8 news at 6:00... or was it channel 6 an 8:00? Well, either one, I was down in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for a reenactment, and a dude approached me after the gunfire was over and asked if he could have a word with me, and I said sure. Before I knew what was happening, I had a camera pointed at me and a string of questions. I don't even remember what I said, only that my dad was staring at me like I was a lunatic. I probably said "wib-wibble".
My heart was pumping like crazy, and I had a huge andrenaline rush. Everything was moving real slow, and I had plenty of time to think of answers. I could have fixed tea before the guy had finished his questions...
Waitaminute... Third time watching it through... why does it say "Rury is a Retard"?

Very nice video again, Rury! This time we also got to see more of you, which is good. And it was interesting hearing about your trip, too!
But why does Adam hate me so? Ooh, sounds like someone's jealous! Don't be like that, Adam, what have I ever done to you?
Anyway, you asked about phobias. I think mine is maybe slight claustrophobia. Nothing serious, I can be comfortable in an elevator and stuff like that. But I get creeped out just watching some people crawling in small caves and tunnels (in TV or movies), I couldn't do it myself at all. Maybe I have a childhood trauma from digging up snow tunnels and getting stuck in them?
I agree on the awesomeness of owls, Finland and New Zealand fully. And cats are pretty great too... except when they barf on the carpet.
Maybe if you make another video, you could tell us how you got interested in WW2 and the Holocaust?
