Okay so I have posted in the "Does anyone here do YouTube" thread but I would really like to get a little bit more in the way of feedback for my Let's Play series on YouTube.
I hope people don't see this as blatant advertising or spamming or whatever, because I truly would like some honest (harsh even..?) and constructive criticism of my YouTube. I'm not looking to get views of subs out of this, just views from people about what they are looking for in a great LP channel.
Specifically in the way of my commentary and what I talk about because personally I do feel like I am lacking... but I am really bad for being my own critic and not very good at critiquing on others as well so I figure you guys could help.
I have been on YouTube about a month now and completed a number of LP's, some on my own, some with my sister for multiplayer ones and Ben Jordan. I feel like I get nervous as soon as I start recording and feel like I get a bit of stage fright, sometimes I like to have a drink before I start recording because it loosens me up a little bit but I don't want to get to the point where I am wasted for every recording lol. Quite often I have trouble finding things to talk about, or being entertaining when I do it. I have quite a monotone voice and I know people say it's good to sound enthusiastic for your LP's because no one wants to hear someone being bored but it's kind of just how I sound. Guess I have to change that!
I realise the microphone quality of my older videos and multiplayer videos is lacking... we are investing in a new high quality microphone so hopefully that should improve because currently we have this really crap one where we have to lean right into the mic for it to pick us up - and we often forget about it and start to get very quiet.
Anyway, any critique or feedback you guys have is greatly appreciated. It can be as harsh or nice as you want it to be (but add something reassuring too
) and I look forward to hearing what people have to say (:
