It's been a while my friend. Would you believe I've been subbed to you this long, and I do not know your first name? That is sad lol. It's kinda hard to review you considering I've watched and enjoyed your videos pretty much ever since I first joined this site. I've seen you do alot of good things, when I first started watching you you had trouble speaking up, it was as if you were kind of embarrassed to be on cam and clammed up a bit, mumbled somewhat when you spoke. But soon you got over that problem. I thought your vlogs would stay in your dorm room forever, I thought your ideas would stay the same, but you surprised me again by going out and doing interviews, and coming up with different topics to vlog about and ways to vlog, your fan comment criticisms are some of my favorite videos of yours. I think the moment I knew I wanted to sub to you and you were someone I'd enjoy following, was the first time I saw you stand on your chair, then narrate for yourself "It's the amazing, the extraordihairy..." And I thought to myself, "how funny is that, he's standing on a chair, announcing himself like he's some big shot even though his tone says he doesn't really mean it, and he just changed extraordinary to extraordiharry, he's comfortable with himself, yet enjoys mocking himself as well. Yep, I like this guy". You haven't let me down since, so on to the review!
This was honestly not one of your best. It had the usual charm I've come to expect from you, however it was too unplanned and floundered around a bit. The negative aspect is the slow pace, there was quite a bit of time in here that really didn't add much to the entertainment value. But it certainly had it's positive aspects as well. For one thing, it's funny to watch, and easy to relate to, you cutting to an hour later and you still have accomplished nothing on your room, and admit that you were destracted by boobs and youtube, I was like "oh God I do that all the time" (especially with the boobs)
Then I liked how when you finally "cleaned" your "cleaning" was to throw all the crap from your floor to your bed, and toss crap in the hallway lol. Very male of you. The thing I feel about your vlogs is that with you, the content always seems a little too unplanned and there's usually some of those down time moments, but you tend to pull it off in the long run anyway because by god you're just likeable. You have a very endearing personality that people should just naturally be fond of, and it comes through. You are very real, and you're not afraid to show the nerdy and more embarrassing sides of yourself, which is something people love because we ALL have those sides of ourselves, most people just try to hide it from everyone.
If there's anything I'd like to see you do, it's kind of the same thing I said to AlbeeWon, perhaps you should plan these vlogs out more, take some more time in editing, spend some more time analyzing which parts you think will be fun to watch and which parts might be unnecessary to leave in. If you could get your vlogs to seem more fast paced, and remove anything that isn't adding to the entertainment value you would rise alot in quality.
I'd also like to see you try your hand at sketches. I think you could do it, you'd find a way to do it in that signature style of yours. If you could start pinpointing your ideas more, and lessen the "I turned the camera on and started talking" vibe of your videos, plan them a little better, not reading a script but having main points and certain lines you know you want to have in there, I think you'd see a rise.
Also, what do you do to promote yourself? The fact that I have nearly 5 times as many views and over 3 times as many subs as you troubles me. There's no reason you shouldn't have a lot more action on your channel than that, I've seen far less likeable channels getting alot more attention, so maybe you and I should discuss ways for you to get yourself out there better. It's not that your content is bad, you must not be networking like you should or something. Anyway, good to see you, suddenly I think your name may be Tom. I don't know if I'm pulling that out of thin air or if I'm remembering it... lol anyway, let me know if I was right, see ya.
And we are definitely working on making Dom a better actor. If you watch his FIRST album review, you will definitely notice that he has more confidence in this newest video. Now if you want, I just made a new Jonny Nitpick (I think you will like this a lot too). Be sure to let me know what you thought! :]
