Hey der, I went and checked out your channel and here are my first impressions:
Pro's:
-On the first video, your commentary wasn't annoying (that's rare to find... for some stinking reason)
-You were not playing by yourself
-You were playing a fun game I love playing sometimes.
- The commentary and gameplay had some pretty funny moments (You see the crawing guy at the start and think about shooting him, and your buddy keeps telling you to avoid him ha ha)
con's:
-On entering your channel, the video turned on and I wasn't ready for it. and the intro was pretty loud (But that might also be my fault seeing as my mic was turned pretty load ha ha, so don't look to much into this one.)
-It was slow to start and got kind of bored. (But as a fellow game channel tuber, I skipped ahead to find more action)
-I couldn't tell which commentator was you, But I figured you were the quieter one as you had the same voice in other videos.
So obviously, you have a huge leg up on about 80% of the youtube content out there. And I am not one to be giving you advice as you are a bit larger then me (like 200+ subs larger ha ha) But I always like getting feedback so I might as well do some for you
.
Here is my advice. Take it as it is and what not.
1. Do more sound testing before each recording. I started doing this lately (like last video lately) and Ill just jump in before recording and find something with lots of sound happening and record me talking. Then listen and adjust accordingly. I do it 2-3 times before starting, due to one time me recording a really funny game, but the sound quality was so awful I couldn't use it :'(.
2. Make sure to follow the "you have 30 seconds to impress me" rule. If you find a funny clip, that makes you chuckle. I would throw that right in before or right after the intro. Then get back into the lets play format kind of thing. If a video makes me laugh even a small little chuckle. I will watch up to like 5 minutes per laugh I have.
3. umm, I think that's about it ha ha. That's all I noticed
You got decent content, and that is very nice to have trust me.
Also you do come across as likeable, And I won't bs ya. If I don't like a commentator/video, I just wont post ha ha.
