Hello! I run a channel called The Casualcore Gamer. I want to talk about channel identity. I mean, my name comes from the fact that one moment I can be super casual about a game, and the next I can be the most hardcore addicted play ever in existence, but that doesn't really give my channel an identity.
I believe that people have to have something unique about them when they start a channel, and for me, it's probably my gift for sarcasm, one liners, and humor in general. That's what I'm known for in my personal life--being able to react and come up with something funny and sarcastic off the top of my head and on the spot. People look for my reaction, and I've been told that I'm a deadly mix of Chandler Bing, Dorothy Zbornak, and Grumpy Cat xPPPPP
But, how do I turn something like that into an identity for my channel when most people like gamers who are a bit...obnoxious? I mean, people love Pewdz and Markiplier, but even though I love them both, I can see it's because they're loud and outrageous, and I'm so chilled out and kind of monotone and deadpan. I've definitely been trying to work on that, but I'm also thinking of ways to capitalize on my gift for sarcastic gab. I thought about creating a separate channel for sarcastic videos, like daily doses of sarcasm--short videos and reactions and stuff, but do I create a new channel for that, or incorporate that into my gaming channel. Please let me know what you think would be best, and what you do/did to create an identity for your channel!
