I agree completely with everything. I'm still getting used to editing so I'm not sure if I can do anything amazing like someone like Vanessa :). But, I think that just comes up putting more work into my videos, and I also feel like my lighting/camera is sort of keeping me from going to the next level. I try to make so what I'm saying is interesting but I can understand that as an actual video that you're watching it can be a bit boring. I think I can definitly work on having a more exciting tone when speaking, but yeah that comes from being a bit self concious on camera. I think a 6/10 is very fair and hopefully I can get you to give me a 9/10 one of these days ;).

Yep it's a process, I've seen you improve from where you were when you started, and you will continue to improve from where you are now, I'm sure of it. Good luck stef!

A quick trip to the hardware store with thirty bucks or less can yield an effective clamp scoop lighting set up. Find a supplier of film rentals to purchase tough-spun diffusion. Add a few clothespins from the grocer, and you've got a soft light.

This is true but I feel these sort of things require a lot of assembly time, at least it does with the makeshift lighting I'm using now. That's why I'd rather invest in something a bit more professional that's easier to set up.

No fat jokes huh? You're too skinny!!! EAT SOMETHING!!! har har har

Ummm.... hmmm.... uhhhh... I don't know how to explain how i feel about this video. You have the kind of likeablity that some people are just gonna latch onto, and others won't. Your jokes in all honesty, are kinda cheesy, it's not a stylish hip kind of comedy, it's a more silly goofy kind, but not like my videos are goofy, I go extremely over the top and outlandish, you seem like a reserved guy who's pushing himself out of his comfort zone to do comedy. Am I saying it's not funny? no. Thanking your views from different countries was cute, but that's the word I would use to describe this, it's cute.

There are people in this world who will love that factor, they will find you to be humble, not too outlandish, not too out there, you have an honesty in what you do that is endearing. However I don't think your material is the kind of material that would go viral or get the response you may be looking for. By and large most people are looking for a different style of humor, this reminds me alot of the kind of humor you would see in the 80's or 70's, comedy has taken a huge turn since then. But that is why your fans will be very loyal fans. This may not become an overnight sensation, and you may never reach the status of some of the big name youtube comedians, but you will be a breath of fresh air to the people who enjoy this type of humor and have been wishing more people would do it.

I really don't have any suggestions for how to improve, I wish I did, but I see no need for you to change what you're doing. It's just you. It's what you do, you've got a unique personality and a unique take on humor, it's not really better or worse than anything else, just different. I think you should just keep plugging along, and enjoy the attention you get, don't mind the haters, I can foresee alot of people saying disrespectful things because this isn't the "cool comedy" they are used to, but that's just people being closed minded. For those of us who see the quality you have, and understand your appeal, you give us just what we want to see.

Yeah. It's a lot easier for me to play some sort of character (a condescending news anchor, idiot talk show host doing an interview, or fast-talking guy from a different era) than to just be myself. I just don't find myself that interesting. That being said, I feel honored that you would compare me to comedy from the 70s or 80s! I think some of the funniest stuff ever was made back then (Airplane!, The Jerk, Caddyshack). All in all, thanks for the honest review. At the end of the day, this vlog was mostly made to promote my channel and get views from subscribers and friends. Thanks for the review.

You just have your own thing going on man. The cinics may tell you it's "bad" or "stupid" but really it's just unique and it has it's own quality to it that while I may not be holding my sides laughing, I still enjoy it for what it is. I don't think there need to be changes made, just an understanding that what you do has it's own quirky kind of charm and some will love you for it and some will be stupid about it. So I say just keep doing what you do man and screw what anybody else thinks, for real :)
