Camgirl – How to stay anonymous during shows?

This is definitely the question that comes up most often among potential debutantes. How do I stay anonymous during shows or even how do I make sure no one recognizes me?

You’re worried about your privacy and that’s perfectly legitimate. Rest assured, there are many ways to protect yourself, here are a few.

Simply don’t show your face!

It is often said that the simplest recipes are the best. In order not to be recognized, the easiest way is still to not show your face to the webcam! All you have to do is set the camera so that your face is off camera. However, this method has some limitations:

• the interaction with the viewers is de facto less
• you should always keep in mind to keep your head out of focus

Despite these two constraints, it is quite possible to make successful shows. It may surprise you, but there are camgirls who make a good living without ever showing their face on screen.

It is also possible to use a mask such as the one in the image highlighted in this article. There are more or less covering ones depending on whether you want to use it alone or in addition to the “head off” technique.

Disguise yourself to change your physique!

Another way to not show your face during shows is simply to show another face. More clearly, this involves dressing up. Two schools exist depending on who you want to look like:

• dressing up as another “lambda” person.
• the Cosplay. For those who don’t know, I’ll give you the wikipedia definition: “a catchword made up of the English words “costume” and “play” (“acting”), is a hobby that involves playing the role of one’s characters by imitating their costume, hair – using a wig or making the same haircut as the character’s – and makeup. ” If you’ve read our article on differentiation marketing, you’ll immediately see the added value that dressing up can have. So you go from an apparent disadvantage (not showing your face) to a real advantage (differentiation). It’s up to you to choose a theme that pleases!

It only remains to acquire some accessories to disguise yourself and thus become totally unrecognizable even for your loved ones: a wig, glasses, colored contact lenses, an unusual makeup or a mask. The list is not exhaustive, let your imagination play!

A more radical way: use your platform’s geographical limitation options

A more radical way to not be recognized is to not broadcast a show in your home country. Most platforms have options to ban your videos from being broadcast in the countries of your choice. Depending on the platform, it is possible to target more precisely the forbidden places (region, department).

For example on Chaturbate, you can block the countries of your choice. This option can be found in profile -> settings and privacy -> Performer settings

By indicating France as a blocked country, no internet user connecting from France will be able to see your chatroom. This blocking does meet the need for confidentiality but nevertheless cuts you off from a certain audience. This is a point to take into account if you are mainly addressing a French-speaking audience.

Some additional tips to preserve your anonymity

There’s no point in doing everything you can to hide your real face if you’re making information about your identity available in other ways. What do I mean by that? That there are plenty of mistakes not to make that could reveal your identity. Here are some tips:

• be careful about what information you share: if you’re not careful, you can give “clues” to your viewers without realizing it. You must be vigilant to all the information that can be in the field of your webcam: photo, window, personalized object with your name … Similarly, when discussing with your viewers pay attention to indications that you could leave: restaurant, metro station …
• don’t open a link sent by your viewers: never click on a link sent by one of your viewers. He could, thanks to some tricks, know your IP address and therefore your location. This advice is valid in your chatroom but also on social networks.
• use a different email for your camgirl activity: obviously, do not use your personal email for your camgirl activity. Create a specific one without your first and last name in it.
• if you used a wishlist amazon be sure to mask your shipping address. Otherwise, you may see your viewer arrive with the gifts 😉
• Don’t meet your viewers physically: this seems obvious, but in the heat of the moment some camgirls forget this basic principle.
• Trust on social networks: this point is not directly related to shows but if you promote yourself on social networks (Twitter, Instagram…), all the advice provided in this article applies. Also remember to disable all location sharing options (Twitter, photo tag…).

In conclusion, confidentiality and privacy are important aspects of camgirl life. Of course, there is always a risk of being recognized. But by applying the tips distilled in this article you greatly reduce that risk and can focus on your camgirl business.
