How's my channel? :)

KGATV

YASSS
So i'm looking for a review of my gaming channels (http://www.youtube.com/user/KGATVgaming) design, thumbnails, banner, videos, etc. I want honest feedback, so don't sugarcoat it :p I know that my videos lag a little bit, especially the facecam, and I am going to try a different technique to record both without it lagging to much.

Any feedback is appreciated, and thanks in advance :)
 
Well the mic quality is a bit bothersome to me, you can hear a slight hissing in the background which might turn some people off. As for the banner I would suggest making it a little less plain, maybe a little line that says when you post/favorite phrase. The thumbnail's shadow for the white text, like you did in the first episode, sticks out more than the other thumbnails without the shadow so I would suggest changing it back. Also Minecraft is a pretty good start but a lot of people play it so you might want to switch it up a bit with something else later on or maybe some Feed The Beast/Tekkit stuff. People like mods because it's cool and brings a new perspective to a game that everyone knows.
I'm not really an expert on balancing out audio on LPs but this video helps a lot. It's a good guide on how to balance out the audio of the game and your own audio.
*Edit* Also you should do a call to action, tell people to sub/like/comment/fav/share because they're more likely to do that if you inform them and maybe put an outro with a little subscribe button with all your social media links? The outro part isn't really necessary and I've seen a bunch of people do great gaming videos without it but it does help out quite a bit and will get you a bit of exposure. Sometimes it's good to leave the videos on a cliff hanger so they will be excited for the next video. Last but not least, if you have a specific goal in video, mention it so the viewers will anticipate something!
 
Well, your banner is cool but how about adding a rainbow that joins your avatar so instead of it being a banner and avatar, make it look like one massive joined picture if that makes sense?
Your trailer is pretty informative and really creative. You're right about the lagging and the sound quality is not the best. Not sugarcoating but your channel is already great :)
 
Design-wise I like what's currently there for your banner and avatar, but there is A LOT of free space. I'm a fan of the matching colours and what not for the avatar/banner, but the whole thing needs a bit more in it. Maybe a tag-line about your channel? Add some more background to it, more characters?
 
Love your intro and your banners! The only thing I'd say to improve would be the sound quality! Other than that your channel is great! :D

Yeah I'm going to try and record facecam/my voice a different way next time I record.. The hissing is my computer haha. I'll add something to my banner and the shadow on the thumbnail. I'm also doing my gaming channel 100% for fun. So I know it's been overdone and overplayed. And there isn't anything too special about it, but I'm not doing it to get views or subs or anything. It's just something I'm doing for fun haha. I'm also not a big fan of reminding people to like, comment, and subscribe. I don't even do it on my vlog channel that much. I am working on an outro though.
Thanks for the feedback :)

Well the problem with banners, is depending on your resolution or browser size, it moves. (You can even do this by making your browser smaller). So it may line up for me, but it wouldn't line up for some other people. I do like the idea though :)

An yeah I need to record my voice and facecam separately, because when I record both facecam and minecraft it lags. I'm going to try something else nexttime I record.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Since someone else mentioned my banner being to simple, I'm going to add a tag line or something to it. I don't like cluttered banners, and I was trying to keep with the same theme as my vlog channel (which is similar to my gaming channel). I'll mess around with it haha

Thanks :) and yeah I'm going to record my facecam / voice differently next time so it should be better in the future :)

I appreciate clean and tidy banners, as mine is similar, but even I think mine need something more now. Not enough to look at as all.

A day in the life 'ey?
