My First Youtube Video - Critics Welcome

Thought that the first part of the video the intro was pretty neat. You seem liked you forced the rest of the video though like were trying too hard. I don't think that you talked too much was pretty relevant. I will send you a link to some of my videos and tell me what you think. Can tell you haven't done a lot and much of what I commented on above will be fixed with some more time and ability.

A voice coach is a great investment so is a body language coach. If you can't afford either then Id go with a program or two or check out local college. Youtube also is a great resouce on above subjects. At the college Can find decent talent there for 10-20 per hour. Post some more videos! And keep on keepin on!

I like the whole idea..

Tip #1: Add More Structure to it.. make segments or a top 5 or top 10 or something..
Tip #2: Utilize your greenscreen and maybe add a paused screenshot of the video you're talking about in the background (with a number or segment name)
Tip #3 Get a Lapel Microphone so you can get better audio quality.

Other than that.. keep it up!

Awesome first video! But I think people are more interested in the vines than you talking. I'd say 5 seconds in between each is already plenty.

Hey guys thanks! Yes Im working on getting a lapel for my cam corder And Ive got someone now working on structure with me. As far as the green scree goes, ill be sure to ad a preview of the video im talking about next time Thanks again guys for the feedback

Glad to help,
if you need anymore help let me know, I could help you spice it up a bit.

Introduction graphic and animation is good! matching clothing/background color also well !!

Thanks Mindtricks

Love the tone and idea of the video. Kinda like Tosh.0.

The biggest issue I see is with diction and speaking clearly. I'm a Dialect and Accent Reduction Coach here in Los Angeles.. I can definitely help you speak clearer and articulate more. PM me if you're interested.

Otherwise, as was suggested before, search thru YouTube. Cleaning up your speech will help you become a more engaging and easy to understand speaker.

Great work with the video!

Thanks Donald! I highly appreciate the feedback. I just ordered a wireless lapel so hopefully the audio will sound a lot better next video

I absolutely believe that structure is important, however confidence can make up for what structure lacks or is missing. Its same with structure though sometimes its good to have an outline vs. script because then you have the additional worry of having to memorize every word.

Outline /structure vs. having to have all structure. People pay more attention to your body language and tonality than if you got it right. Messing up every once in a while shows you are human and allows you to feel free. Feeling comfortable allows you to recover from those incidents easily without a hitch.

I almost always do 1 take videos. In my field there aren't multiple takes available. However can always just find your own style the right mix of perfection and looseness. Its more about what you want to be and to who than what you do and how you do it.

You are an artist and a talent define what you are. Nice to know can always change. Its great to learn grow and evolve. Great luck and post more videos in a year love to see the contrast between them and this!

Another thing I forgot is learn to use audacity and if you speed it up x 1.1 or something can make it seem liek you have more energy without expending it! Keep us informed of your progress. Always excited to see people learn grow and evolve!

I never thought about speeding it up, thats an interesting idea. However, logically thinking, wouldn't that mess up the audio?

Great idea. Nice lightning and camera setup. What software are you using, Sony Vegas?

I am missing segments. Like to see a video that shows like a page, with headlines.

Good job these are great.

I watched the first video and thought it was good and that you had nice and powerful engagement in your voice and interacting with the audience. It was longer than I would actually want to watch though.

After scrolling down, I saw that you did another movie. This one was much better. Right the point and gave people what they wanted to see... Top 20 Vine Videos.

This niche is massive right now. Keep it up and you will dominate!
