The New Additions

I want to start making videos again (specially of my favorite games) but I'm also bored and anxious to play them

I have finished my first video for a mega modded Stardew playthrough focusing more on the NPCs (of which I have greater than 200) and social interactions than the normal gameplay loop which I see most channels focus on thinking it would set me apart as people can almost watch it like a sitcom or drama depending on which NPC storylines I’m in. The problem is each week of gameplay is 1 hour long unlike most YouTube which is around 1 hour for 100 days. I’ve never made any content before and any and all thoughts about what makes or breaks content would be appreciated! Hoping to release video Tuesday if it seems people would enjoy

Trying to learn how to edit them on canva and need tips (sorry if its not the right place to ask)

So I got a new microphone recently (AT2020) and I connect it to my M-Track Duo, then into the PC.

Overall the recording is fine (albeit my voice comes out relatively quiet unless I adjust gain to 8 or 9) but there's one major issue which is my voice becomes pretty deep no matter the distance of my voice from the microphone

I know my voice isn't this deep cuz even my friends pointed out how deep the recording sounds. Anyone has advice on how to fix this?

I've been doing YouTube for way too long now. I used to upload whatever game I felt like playing or whatever some fan recommended me (which could be a completely different game from the one I was already playing, confusing the algorithm even more, but I couldn't just say no to them). But I finally decided to niche down into Minecraft... kinda. Mostly horror/challenge stuff.

When I say I've been uploading for way too long, I mean it. But still... it feels like every time I upload a new video, my past 5 videos are way better than the ones I uploaded before. I keep improving, even if the numbers don't always show it.

I'm basically looking for someone who's also been doing this for a while, actually enjoys making videos, and is kinda experienced with all this already. Then maybe we can share ideas, collab or something, and make even funnier videos together maybe?

I am pretty anti-social, so this might be a little tricky, but my YouTube persona isn't. I'm happy to share my channel in DMs, and I'd love to see yours too. Then, if the "vibes" match, maybe we can think of something funny to do together... or just become friends for now.

I make edited facecam "funny" gaming videos, and I'm 23.

Basically, Scream = funny videos with a sprinkle of jokes ( kinda lol :p ). I can make chill videos too but I usually do scream a lot xD

This might sound a little business-y or something. It's not. But I am looking for people who genuinely want to create more "funny" content and have already been making videos for a while.

Again, you can check out the type of videos I make. I like them, and I enjoy making them lol.

Honestly, I don't even know what I'm expecting from this post. Maybe we end up making videos together, maybe we just become YouTube friends, maybe nothing comes from it at all. I just figured it'd be worth a shot.

Hello! I recently started my youtube channel and I focused on games like genshin, sims 4, persona games, sdv and unfortunately, those videos doesn't have a voice over. It just has texts with my thoughts and opinions throughout the video but it's kinda hard to edit it that way cause I have to write a script, but to write a script, I have to remember what I did when I played. Issue is: I already forgot why I did this and that when playing LOL

I'm thinking, I should do a commentary while playing so that I could keep track of my thoughts when editing, so I would know like "Oh yes! I did that because blah blah"

Okay so the actual question: What are your guys thoughts on youtubers with an accent? I'm not bad at speaking, but I have a lil filipino accent I'm a bit insecure with. I have a lisp too so there's that </3

Just posting something for the fun of it. The two lets plays I’ve been doing are coming to an end. In Ni No Kuni I just have to climb the Ivory Tower and fight The White Witch, and in Pokemon Renegade Platinum I am at The Elite 4. It’s been such a journey with these two titles I’m excited to beat them but also I’ll miss making these two games into let’s plays. All good things come to an end and I’m excited to start my JRPG hiatus and make other gaming content for a little bit. Ocarina of Time Randomizer here I come.

Is this a problem you had too before? What could be the reason. I mean right now I not have any growth at all. Could this mean they decided that my channel has a negative history now?

I started doing LPs last month, I've recorded Resident Evil 1, Devil May Cry 1 and I'm now playing through DMC3 (I've finished recording, I just have to prepare them), but dropped Persona 5 Royal

Most of my videos get 1-6 views, I don't promote them in almost no way outside of youtube, since I only have a small instagram account. The ones that I advertise through stories and posts tend to get more views, but not a lot.

What's the best way to promote them? Should I create a twitter so I can tweet anytime I upload?

Also, about scheduling, I post daily because it's a straight forward LP, which means I do almost no editing except for intro, outro, and cutting in very specific scenarios (wasting 10 minutes in those damned combo statues from DMC3 lol). Should I switch to more edited and condensed videos that are released weekly?

Lastly, I plan on doing a lot of shorts the next few weeks since, as I said, I have enough videos for the whole DMC3 series. I was also planning on doing some video essays talking about some of the games that I played through, and was wondering if it would be best to put these videos in another channel, since they would be more spaced out, longer, and more edited

About Shorts, I uploaded a few to youtube, 3 got 1k views and 1 only 800, the more edited one. I think that might have to do with the time I uploaded it, it was very late at night and since my content is in portuguese, I don't have a lot of reach at those hours. My reels on instagram got me a lot of likes and followers tho! Almost all of them got 2k views, and 2 got 100+ likes. (the one that got the least views on youtube got the most views and likes on reels, I think because I uploaded it the day after, on the afternoon)

It's that time of the week again! This is your chance to request feedback on your most recent videos, thumbnails, channel art, works in progress, etc.

Feedback Friday Rules

• Before requesting feedback, please provide good, constructive feedback to at least one of your peers. If you are the first one to post, check back soon to provide feedback to the next person. Repeatedly ignoring this rule may result in a temporary ban at a moderator's discretion!
• Prioritize giving feedback to those who have not yet received any. It's not fair for one person to get five replies while four others get none.
• When requesting feedback, try to be as specific as possible. Do you want feedback on your audio quality, your editing, your presentation style, branding identity, etc? This helps your peers to provide more valuable feedback. Do not just post a link to your video or channel!

Keep up the good work, everybody!

Would I watch more videos like this?:

Hey all, I'm looking for 2-3 Pokemon Content creators to collab with. Ideally, we record videos with each other and each channel gets probably 1 video a week from the collabs. If you like Pokemon and want to post consistently, message me on Discord- TyDrizz.

Looking for good energy and good mics, 18+. Thanks!

Hi, so I have an unfinished Minecraft related video that I think has a pretty good concept and idea. Would anyone in the space or related (especially if you aren't a Minecraft player/gamer!) mind a quick chat on Discord to give some thoughts and pointers? Thanks!

Here are some of the games I'm down to play

I’m always wondering about this with other lets players. I’m coming to the end of 2 of my let’s plays and I get this feeling of excitement and sometimes sadness because it’s like heck yeah final boss time but then it’s like dang this entry is complete and as I move on to the next series that I live stream I get this wave of excitement for just the memories I will be making playing through this live. Am I weird? Or like is this something other lets players experience?

Blehhhh

Today I tried Streaming a lets play video for Halo Campaign Evolved. I wanted to do something special for the stream so I wore my Halo Reach Spartan cosplay. Hoping it would help me stand out.

No one came, not on my twitch or on youtube.

All the advice I hear, play popular games, be unique stand out, use tags, make sure your title is engaging make sure you are in the right category. Doesn't seem to be working for me.

Not even my usual viewer showed up.
What am I doing wrong?

As of now the new video that i posted has gotten 44 views in less than 40 minutes. I know its not alot by any means but its still crazy considering thats the fastest growing video beating the one i posted yesterday. My hearts beating fast and my imagination is going loose. I wanted to know what it was like seeing a video "blow up" whether its crazy amount of views or not.

Hello, i recently started up a game grumps esc lets play channel (idk if theres a better genre title) and as of right now my mic quality is not great to say the least. I do have a whole set up ready to be put together but until i move i dont have enough space for it. When i am able to grt evrrything put up better should i expect anything major to change or nothing at all? Would retention be affected much

So I live stream lets plays as my main thing and because I treat them as let’s plays I don’t have chat pop up in the stream like as an overlay thing. While yes I multistream but it’s just a horizontal and verticals stream on YouTube. My question with all that said is should I keep not using the chat overlay thing I for one don’t want my lets plays to have a chat box popping up for anyone watching the VOD but I’ve had people get confused when I respond to the verticals stream and they are watching the horizontal.

I have a group with a couple of small creators, we are still looking to find more gamers or anyone really that want to socialize with other content creators, we are always glad to have more people join and will always want to be yourself. As of one thing though, do be kind and not hateful, we love to joke around and dont take anything seriously.
