Audio quieter on YouTube

I Love YTtalk
This has been an issue since the start of my channel, it's not as bad as it was in one of my videos but when I watch other peoples videos (same audio level on YT) theirs is a much nicer level, where as mine feels really quiet.

This is strange because on my PC (after rendering) the volume is rather high. I'm using Premiere Pro to edit/render. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it?
 
If you have Premiere Pro, then you likely have Adobe Audition. Load the audio track in, select the whole track and use the effect Normalize. Set it to -1db. Then mix it back in with the video.

If you're not already recording vocal audio separately from other audio, you should be.

Vocal audio is recorded separately. I'll give what you said a try.
 
There are more things that you could be doing as well, but the normalize function essentially pushes the volume of the track up to just below where it would clip. I actually find that many YouTubers upload content quieter than that, which is frustrating. heh.

This seems to have made it worse.
 
I know with VLC and some other video players when you play a video by default at like 125% volume for whatever reason so I always have to turn it down to hear what others would hear. I would see about trying to play it in another video player and see if audio sounds same.

You don't even need to do that, it's right in Premiere:
