I am so glad you're here!
I have worked as an on-camera performance coach since 2008, helping people overcome their fears to market their work, businesses, and brands through video. I’ve worked with executives, performers, and students in hosting, interviewing through online platforms, and video marketing. I teach people how to overcome nervousness on camera, what to wear, where to look, and how to adjust on-camera habits that negatively affect the performance.

Carmen Braidwood

Failing at all three, she took a vow of silence and joined a monastery. Not really — this would have been a very different biography in that case — she dusted herself off and developed new goals, the biggest being to make a life from radio, journalism and television. Sources across Australia report she has been doing ‘a pretty decent job’ of this for the past 22 years, working with Channel 9, 96fm and most recently, 882 6PR. It’s just as well — the monastery had terrible internet speeds.

Braidwood started her media career in Western Australia as a producer on radio working on 882 6PR and Hit 92.9. She graduated to working the mic as a music announcer at 97.3 Coast FM and 6KG Kalgoorlie and later as a newsreader for Mix 94.5 and Hit 92.9.
