The biggest issue I have with my channel is the language barrier. As a non native english speaker, it is quite an issue. Also, I fear I sound boring while reading from the script, I drop some impovvisation every now and then, but just minor stuff. I'd like to know if my reading has improved in my last couple of videos, and what I can do to improve it.
Thank you
I spent a good amount of time perusing your channel, and I think you have a lot of good things going on. Here are my thoughts:
- You're doing a great job with your English. I know it's a difficult language, but it's the common tongue of the Internet and you've done a great job at learning it and writing in it. I wasn't distracted by your accent and I understood everything you were saying without exception.
- On a related note, I know it's tough to look into a camera and deliver your ideas in a second language, but I'd encourage you to try to move away from the cue cards or teleprompter that you seem to be referencing as you speak. You're a good communicator and you'll come off stronger if you seem more relaxed as you speak. I know this is hard, and I don't throw this out as a thing to fix today, but rather a goal to keep working toward.
- I like your theme music and your logo. I wouldn't change a thing.
- Your thumbnails are cool looking, but repetitive. That's okay for some types of channels, but your videos look dull from the thumbs. I'd encourage you to try to think of a way to communicate the central idea of each video in a fun way with your cover image.
- I like your subject matter and I learned some things by watching. It might be worth your while to deal with some really mainstream stuff that would draw people to your channel though.
- My biggest critique, and I offer this with great respect for what you've already accomplished, is that you seem stiff at times. You're clearly smart and savvy, and you should make that work for you. Try to find ways to have more fun with your audience and let them see your personality. That's what will separate you from other channels like yours.
I offer all these thoughts with respect and humbly as a non-expert. I think you are getting stronger as a speaker with each video and I'm rooting for you to succeed.
Best of luck.
