Well, there are a lot of videos you can see to get an idea of how YOU would like to come across. E.g., if you see videos on VH1 or CMT or Austin City Limits, or even Lawrence Welk, in some of them the artists seem to be looking right at you and in others, they don't at all, and others they seem to scan the audience, occasionally glancing at you. Which style is the one you would choose?

If you want to come across as looking at the audience, try the advice above about looking 'through' the camera or just above or below the lens, perhaps. (Some people use this as a way of maintaining "eye contact" during conversations with others without appearing to stare. They look at a spot between the other person's eyes or just above them.)
