After An Honest Review Of My Channel

I watched your two most recent videos, and I really enjoyed them! It's different from what I'm used to watching, but the footage you shot and the commentary along with it made it very interesting to watch. I really like the simplicity of your channel profile picture and banner as well. The two things I would say are to try and edit out the background noise of your commentary in your videos (the microphone is good, but there's still a little background noise that can easily be edited out) and to give your channel a more professional look by hiding your subscriptions and clicking the "customize the layout of your channel" option in the little settings menu on your channel. Other than those things, I really enjoy your content (even though I never watch content like that, which is impressive) and what you're doing on your channel! :)
 
It's enjoyable. Were I in your shoes, the very first thing I'd do, would be removing HUH from my HUH vocabulary. You see, it's a bit HUH annoying, and sounds very HUH amateurish.
Your channel is about film making. So, I'd get myself immersed into learning film making techniques. Filming techniques, editing, color grading etc. We're now blessed by an unimaginably large library of knowledge that surpasses the dreams anyone would have a century ago. We call it Youtube. You can make good use of the knowledge in it.
On top of that, I'd act my a$$ onto the mic, and create a very likable narrator, capable of presenting me his message in a very eloquent manner. Which, of all things, would be the most important aspect in your type of videos.
It's hard work. But I'm sure you'd get an immense sense of satisfaction when you see that you can do better than you ever thought.

Thanks Manarkey, didn't realise you could hide the subscriptions, I'll look into sorting out the layout. Its a good shout with the background noise, I did read that there was a way through Audacity to limit a range of sound frequency in a recording so I'll have to look into it a bit more. Sounded a bit technical, but you're right there is a slight buzz in the background which is off putting.

Thanks for the kind words mate, appreciate the feedback.

lol, yeah I know about the Uh and Ums. I actually mentioned it in my introduction video a little while ago. I do know its an issue and I'm gradually getting better. I think in the first videos its worse because I felt I had to record the entire narration in one go, but I'm now breaking it up into smaller chunks which is actually quicker to be honest because I don't have to re-record huge chunks all over again.

I'm a little restricted with what film techniques I can add in right now because of the limitations of the equipment I'm using (again, something I'm aware of and will hopefully sort out in time.) But I take on board that I should be looking into what others have done better and try and adapt my methods.

I think narration is just going to take time. I don't particularly like the forced enthusiasm you see on many channels (worst case seen through channels like PewDiePie etc) is pretty irritating. I'd rather just get more confident being myself than create some different personality. Afterall, this is a channel with my own name on it, seems daft to pretend to be someone else. But I take on board that I need to be a little more confident but I guess that will take time. I'm already getting better with it.

Thank you for the advice though, I shall take it on board going forward.
 
Alright, so YouTube is mainly gaming, vlogs. You're uploading historical videos, that's something unusual. So therefore it might take you a while to get noticed as not many people know about this kind of videos. I also noticed that you don't have channel layout, if you lookup on youtube how to get channel layout it would make your channel more professional/attractive.
