081: Charisma on Camera with Sandra Dee Robinson

Charisma on Camera

Sandra Dee Robinson

Charisma on Camera may come naturally to some. For those of you who are more like a deer in the headlights, guest Sandra Dee Robinson can make you ready for your close up.

Sandra Dee Robinson has spent nearly all of her life in front of a camera: as an actor (including Another World, Sunset Beach, Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, Two and a Half Men, Criminal Minds, Secret Life of an American Teenager and TV movies) and as a TV host and product spokesperson.

You might think then, talking directly into camera or speaking on a stage would seem like a natural thing for her to do. Far from it! “I was extremely shy but comfortable behind a character (acting). When people began to ask me to support a charity on stage, or sell a product, even be interviewed and they said, ‘Just be yourself!’ I was so lost.”

As it usually happens with persistence, there came a day of a breakthrough; exhaustion and a funny circumstance onstage of an infomercial shoot had Sandra unexpectedly enjoying being “herself” on a stage. She was relaxed, having fun, and getting her message across in her own unique way. Suddenly, moments of her training experiences came back to her and it all finally started to make sense!

What Sandra teaches at Charisma on Camera is a super-condensed and individualized combination of her training and experience that can help anyone feel better, look better and perform better without all of the years of frustration and pain, and outrageous spending that she did!

Sandra has been coaching entertainment reporters and television hosts, and she founded Charisma on Camera to expand her clientele to professionals in any field. Her current clients include authors, life coaches, experts in their fields that want to find their star qualities, confidence, and comfort level to establish themselves as an expert guest, successful speaker or host their own show. – See more at:charismaoncamera.com
