Is the lighting bad?
Yes. And the orange edit doesn't appeal to me.
Am I being overly charasmatic?
Not at all. There is no form of charisma here at all. Lol.
Or perhaps, not charasmatic enough?
It's hard to act this one out. It's either you have it, or not. No big deal. It's more important in movies... not on short vlogs/clips like these IMO.
Is the topic bad?
To each their own. But this question is better answered if you can determine who your target audience is.
Did I not provide enough details about the topic? Did I make it clear what the video was about?
Quite clear! Your editing, minus the lighting and colour, was pretty good. The back and forth, rigid, edits keeps the eyes moving and interested. So props to you on that. The shades was a nice touch as well.
