10 Songs To Enhance Your Confidence Before A Shoot
Whether it's your first shoot or you're a seasoned pro in front of the camera, the music you listen to can drastically alter your attitude, reduce anxiety and enhance your self-confidence. Being in front of the camera might be nerve-wracking, so turn on some bass-heavy music and let your confidence radiate while you flaunt your charm in front of the camera.
Music makes you feel certain ways, and it also affects the way you do certain behaviours.
Think about boxers or MMA fighters. They probably don’t get ready to enter the ring by listening to classical music. They need to feel pumped up, ready for battle, and probably listen to something high energy electronic, rap or hard rock.
From the drumbeats of our ancient ancestors to today’s unlimited streaming services, music is an integral part of the human experience. A 2013 study in the Journal of Positive Psychology found that people who listened to upbeat music could improve their moods and boost their happiness in just two weeks.
In the study, participants were instructed to try to improve their mood, but they only succeeded when they listened to the upbeat music of Copland as opposed to the sadder tunes of Stravinsky.
And a happier mood brings benefits beyond feeling good. In a press release, lead study author, Yuna Ferguson, noted that happiness has been linked to better physical health, higher income, and greater relationship satisfaction.
Here are Mimmynvovo’s Top 10 hype tracks that are guaranteed to boost your mood and enhance your confidence. So you can be looking your absolute fiercest for your photoshoot.
Momentum in a Photo shoot is key to keeping a steady stream of strong poses and positive vibes. To help with this momentum this song by the most famous power couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z will hype you up. Although we could argue all Beyonce’s songs would be perfect for a boost on your next shoot, this one in particular can get your inner Queen or King strutting for days.
Disclosure meticulously craft comfortable dance music you can listen too anywhere. While we can say that the entire Energy album is absolute fire, the show stopping song Energy will in-fact GIVE YOU ENERGY for your shoot.
3. UP – CARDI B
Cardi B is delivering confident gangsta vibes with this strong production. If this ass shaking beat and fire flow doesn’t have you twerking upside down for dollars, nothing will. “I said my face bomb, ass tight/Racks stack up Shaq height.” Up has Cardi’s characteristic self-assurance and instantly quotable one-liners. It’s a solid winner.
Casual genre-bending, and her bratty disdain for authority, Azelia Banks delivers this
rhythmic head bopping song. Full of chaotic funky beat samples interlaced with relatable lyrics, this song is a boost of confidence you didn’t know you needed.
This Photo shoot confidence playlist won’t be complete without a Doja Cat tune wedged in here somewhere. This tune is practically the anthem of self-love and it oozes determination and confidence!
I'm having a hard time recalling another song from the last several years that has so neatly encapsulated the bling gospel. This track moves from throwing up dollars into a listing of luxuries that have you feel like royalty. Turn it up and let your sexy boss bitch out.
Missy infuses her signature personality on the electronic single, while Janet's smooth voices coats the fast-paced track. The track, fuelled by glossy keys and thick synth-bass, finds Janet promising to “dance like no one’s watching” and “show you how to burn it up.” Missy’s goofy guest spot is full of meows, groove instructions and rhythm to pose too.
8. POPSTAR – DJ KHALED FT DRAKE
Nobody embodies the “another one” ethos of nonstop hit-making more than Drake, and this collaboration, more than any of the others, finds the rap king revealing in that truth. This beat will have you gracefully dropping to your knees serving stylish poses while the lyrics reinforce your fierceness.
Pulsing with a disco-like ‘70s vibe as it delivers a message about sexual desire and viewing life as an eternal dance floor. It’s an earworm about dancing, partying and living without a care.
It's all right there in the title! This playlist is coming to a close on a high note! On number ten, we go back 15 years to Kanye West's debut of "Stronger," which gave self-confidence a whole new face. This hip-hop track has just the right amount of boosted bass and techno noises to make you feel ready for a photo session.
Mimmynvovo encourage you to add these tracks to your photoshoot playlist for a boost of confidence so you can hype yourself up and get those front cover worthy shots.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
