    Default Looking bored..

    Hi,I am going to try cam again. I was wondering how to combat the 'looking bored' thing. I mean it is boring sometimes. But it doesn't look good to watch tv, read a book imo.. And it doesn't feel natural for me to fake smile all the time, or dance when know one is in the room. What should u be doing while you wait for privates? Stare at the screen for hours? Any help is appreciated..thx

    Just watch yourself in the encoder and you'll figure out what looks natural for you. I don't think anyone can really give you a description on how to look because what works for them may not work for you. Like some girls can smile with their teeth and look natural/fun, I'd look like an idiot with a stick up my ass.

    I use 2 laptops, one to cam from at a 45 degree angle from me and one in front of me to stop myself going insane. I position myself so I can easily turn from one to the other. It's not good for my eyes to sit staring at the same distance for a long time, and I won't hold a forced smile for eternity, looking at a screen when guys are just wanking and not talking.

    It is your J O B to be entertaining, if you are bored, well.............. then are you really doing your job? It is NOT the guys job in free chat to entertain us.

    Going into it with a fun outlook instead of you will be bored might help. Music you are into, have your goals written near your screen to help you focus. Practice silly faces on cam, use that time to figure out fully dressed what positions & camera angles work best for you.

    My mind is always going, I'm never bored. It really is a mind set.

    As goofy as it initially sounds, some of the best advice I picked up on here for the looking bored problem is to talk to yourself in public chat! Tell a funny story. Pretend to answer questions about yourself to pique the interest of a potential customer. Last night, I pretended to make fun of a cuckold's tiny cock. No one was in the room when I started, but by the time I was done, I had several guys hanging out. Even got a decent private out of it!

    Being entertaining isn't always about dancing around or fake smiling. Its about NOT boring your potential customers. Be fun! Be interesting! But whatever you do, DON'T be boring!

    Hope this helps a little!

    I read something funny in another window or watch a comedies with subtitles and muted sound. Helps me smile naturally and keeps my spirits up even if the room is empty or there's idiots galore.

    Ditto. I do this ALL the time. It's not for everybody, and in fact almost all of MY personal favorite models do the "I'm a fucking Goddess, I'll pay attention to you when it goddamn pleases me, in other words, when you fucking pay for my time" thing, but I tried it thinking that, hey, it comes really naturally to me, but zero bites in chat. Turns out that shit don't fly when you're an Asian lady who is more cute than hot. And if all else fails, ask about people's day to start a conversation so it's not quite so out of the blue when you go off about yours.

    i minimise my cam chat window and drag it to the left of my screen and then stream tv shows on the right hand side. Nothing that could potentially upset me though. Cant be watching Ghost Whispered and crying my eyes out because she made the ghost cross over lol (though im sure some guys would love that)

    If I start getting bored, I incorporate it into my hustle. I tell people I'm bored, let's fuck my cunt or something! Because let's face it, some of those guys are probably bored and horny too. I don't like sitting still. I am terribly fidgety, so I need to be constantly doing something. I try not to come off beggy, or desperate.

    Someone once told me if you are bored then you are boring. After I beat the shit out of him, I couldn't get it out of my head so now I have a kind of fear of getting bored. I start making fun of the guys names in my room who are not saying anything. I play triviacrack out loud in my room and yell out the answers. I tell a bad joke. I make my boobs talk. Whatever, just to keep myself amused because if I am not amused then why should anyone else.

    I've tried standing up and moving around but got bored and drained really quickly from doing that. I usually try to do a light smile, dance in my chair, and make eye contact with the camera every few minutes. But then there's some guys that come in like "bb why aren't you smiling?", "You look bored.", "Why aren't you moving?", etc. I never know how to respond to those questions because in my head I'm like ummm I am smiling and moving (and in general I hate when people tell me to smile on cam or in public.).

    What I do to combat boredom is I have fake conversation with myself. I have a list on the wall of conversation starters or commonly asked questions I get asked and I sit there and just chat it up with myself. Also something I often do is read textfail sites and look at funny videos, and memes because looking bored but still seeming happy is ok imo, looking bored and seeming pissed is a whole different thing.

    Whatever you do or not do, someone will be displeased. I have gotten "What's that funny?!!" "What are you laughing at" and "Are you high?" when smiling and "Why aren't you answering me" and "It's a recorded video" when up and dancing, so IDGAF about what they say anymore and just do what makes me comfortable at the moment.

    Just smile when speaking to someone. You don't have to keep a smile on your face during non-talking moments. It would just look creepy if you were sitting there smiling the ENTIRE time you broadcasted. Lol.

    Keep music playing. Public chat is BORING when there's no talking and no music.

    Stuff like watching t.v., browsing sites like Facebook, texting (it just looks better - a little more professional - to keep the phone out of cam's view...keep it beside you on the bed)...you could actually do these things in between privates...however if you're on a public chat site where guys are constantly entering/leaving the room (like Streamate or MyFreeCams), you should be frequently checking your public chat screen. Don't just put on a t.v. show and stay glued to the t.v. your whole shift, ignoring your public chat completely. Sure, you may still get some privates with that method (and you'll be able to hear that they've taken you private), but you could also miss out on some privates due to the fact that you didn't acknowledge that guy in the room who kept saying "Hi" to you. Some will just take you private on their own...some want to be acknowledged by you first before they take you private. Many of their attention spans are not gonna allow them to sit there for 5 minutes, waiting for your eyes to look back at the computer to answer them. If they don't have your attention and can't even get some sort of acknowledgement from you, they'll move on to a different model. So when you're doing other things like checking e-mail or whatever, just make sure that your eyes are still glancing at the public chat screen frequently...frequently enough so that you don't miss anyone who came in and typed 'hi'.

    Default Re: Looking bored..

    My resting bitch face is kind of sad so I try to strive for what I call a 'slightly elated look' I have the encoder at 150% in the background and I position my Chrome window (for SW and browsing) on top so I just can see my eyes/face. I try to keep my face and mouth relaxed and sort of dreamy smiling, and like others have said, I answer out loud to stuff on facebook, reddit, make comments on articles, etc... I also repeatedly answer questions --real or pretend-- about my body hair LOL. Some lurkers have jumped into PVT at that.

    It stresses me to have 4-5 people in my room not talking and just oogling at me, so when guys come to my room I address them or chat them up until they either take me private, tip, leave, or if a minute goes by with no answer, I usually kick them. Then I can pretend no one is watching me and be a goof in my room.

    I found, like others, that even when my room is empty that if I started talking to myself people would start flocking to my room. I keep things smiley (that's my style) and make a lot of bad jokes. I only chair dance if I feel up to it, and I don't show them much unless they tip (they even have to tip to see me stand etc)

    I just be an extended version of my true self, but I keep babbling. Nothing kills my room further than silence. If the guys don't respond to me I usually tease them for being shy, and ask that they just say hello. If no one does then I kick them after a few mins or so.

    I treat camming like a customer service job, or a receptionist job or like something where you are seen in the public eye. No texting, not looking at the internet, no gum chewing just keep focused on the room. Annoying and boring sometimes, yes. Worth it though? Totally. I have awesome regs.

    I normally split on one other site when i cam and normally there are always ppl in my room talking to me on it so it makes a conversation and makes me not look bored/boring. I have a hard time making conversation and talk to myself so i feel more natural and myself/in my element when im talking to real ppl. talking to myself just feels forced and fake and i feel it throws me off

    I stand up and dance with my face above the frame. Well, my dancing is mostly just wiggling, but I tighten my abs so that I'm getting a little work out. If I'm not getting paid, I might as well burn some calories. I bend down and jiggle the tits with my head in frame every once in a while as not to be a headless creature. Also, red wine and singing.

    I can't do this. My resting face is naturally sulky. I look thoroughly pissed off and miserable. I get negative comments which then affect my actual mood.

    My best resting face is neutral, although it's not 'resting' at all, and took me a long time to come up with it! (and is still fairly hard work to maintain)

    Yaaaaaaas...me too. Some are like:

    "I have to tip just for you to stand."
    "I only want you to stand though."
    "I don't want to see you naked I just want to see you stand."
    "I just want to see what you're working with."
    "Just let me see you real quick."
    "$_ just to stand?".

    They act like models across the site don't have a tip menu. Yes dude standing is a request, no???? So yes your cheap ass has to tip, take me pvt, or check out my pics if you want to see my body. If I was I already standing and teasing fine but naw son I'm not getting out my chair for free...give me your money sir.
