I was going to comment that your microphone was way too far from your face but that's improved in your latest videos.

The biggest issue to your channels' content comes down to your commentary. Right now your commentary is completely dead-pan. Being dead-pan isn't bad by itself as it can be used to great comedic effect, however in your case it's dead-pan delivery coupled with uninteresting things to say. Your reactions are completely one-dimensional and anyone watching your videos will know exactly what you're going to say and how you're going to say it.

No doubt you'll get better with every video you make but what you can do right now is practice. Write a few lines down, practice reading them over and over again until you can nail the delivery in a single take. It'll give you more confidence so you're less reliant on editing to make your words cohesive.

I wish I had more advice for you but that's really all your channel needs. Keep practicing, keep making videos and you'll get better over time.

As requested, my critique will be exclusively on 'THE NBA FINALS IN MADDEN 16' video.

Audio and audio mixing should be top priority going forward. You're peaking the audio quite often when screaming which leads to a lot of distortion. To top it off, the music you add in is way too loud compared to your vocals. For future videos, make sure that once you finish recording to look over the waveform in your audio editing program of choice and find out where the audio is going into the red zone (peaking) and do your best to reduce the decibels (db) until it's levelled. It'll still sound distorted but it won't be as loud to listen to which will help mask it up. When you add in music, make sure that the volume of the music is always lower than your vocals.

Good luck!
 
Cool that you make some time to check and help some people out.
I just started a Design channel and almost reached 100 subs which I'm proud of.
Maybe you can help me with some other tips? Channel below :')

On first impressions I have no idea what your channel is supposed to be about. Your channel header states "anime reviews, walkthroughs and montages" yet there are absolutely no anime reviews on your channel at all, very little walkthough videos and you've got a heavy focus on uploading music from artists which I'm not sure if you've got permission to do so. A complete channel rebranding is in order to help nail down exactly what it is your channel does.

Your thumbnail design before 'Leage Of Legends | ADC Montage #1" is terrible but at least you've improved in your later videos (to be fair, you didn't design the images used in your montage videos so I can't exactly give you full credit), with the exception of your 'DmC: Devil May Cry' thumbnails which has cheap, unfiltered text slapped on to promotional images. When redesigning your channel branding, think about how you can incorporate the new elements into your thumbnail designs.

In terms of your content, since you focus quite heavily on montage videos, work on timing your edits and cuts to the beat of the music you use. Think of it like a music video - you need to match your visuals to the music otherwise it becomes incredibly boring and tedious to watch. Here's a sample to take inspiration from:


Good luck!

You've got some skill with your After Effects work, so you should be proud you've almost reached 100 subscribers. All you need now is more content, perhaps even consider doing some tutorial videos on how you create some of your intros. A lot of content creators are in the market for logo stings and video introductions so your channel could potentially provide a service to them by either helping them learn how to create certain intro effects/styles or even start commissioning custom work.

Whatever you decide I know you'll find success. Your skill and talent on display is extremely promising. Keep up the good work!
 
The link is below. How are my thumbnails? Are the videos in the "Other Fun Stuff' playlist okay? I want to make more of those types of videos.
