Thanks for checking out my channel and for the feedback, I'm real excited to hear that things for my channel look pretty good! I have one question, what do you mean by sting? I'm still new to this and have never heard of that before, thanks for taking the time to review our channels!

Ok, I really like your channel. Though quick question, did you make your "Future US navy and military technology 2016 " by yourself? If so, awesome job. I love the Star Wars music near the middle of it. Your channel is really well done. You may want to make a 3-7 second sting for the beginning of your videos. You are wise not to use text in your thumbnails, and your thumbnails are well done.
Though I am extremely surprised that you have 1k subs... I didn't think that was stuff people were really interested in. Awesome channel. You don't need a trailer
I like the idea for a Science Countdown Channel. You are a very good narrator... You put the videos together well. Everything I don't comment on please consider it being a compliment about it. However you may want to change your icon to being just "Top" and "Facts" being black, "Science" being red, and the background being white. Basically remove the blue globe. Then make your letters bigger. You may also consider making a watermark. You are a really great channel though.
Wow, I saw your request for Collab (I can't colab btw). JSYK usually people record the gameplay beforehand and overlay narration audio about their specific subject. However that's personal choice, and you have the ability to talk about a subject while playing an FPS. Cheers to you mate.
To improve your channel I'd suggest doing these things. For your banner switch the side That "SOO Polish" and the red dragon thingy is on, to the opposite side of the "suit" icon. Then in that space write "Videos every Day!" or whatever your schedule is. I'd also suggest posting a video every two days instead of every day, that way you don't lose your mind working your butt off on your channel. You might also want to consider switching the red dragon thingy with your suit in your icon. In addition to these, make a watermark. Make a sting. Consider making end cards.. Hope this helps!
Alright, to improve your channel I'd suggest not recording in a metal room and/or putting a carpet on the floor. Your voice reverberates around the room, putting a carpet in will help absorb the noise. You might also want to invest in a microphone eventually. Seek assistance besides me. I really don't have knowledge concerning your type of channel. Hope this helps!Me please!
Huh, that's a pretty good mic... How close are you to the mic while you are recording?
Ok, you need to upload more frequently. Determine your upload schedule. I'd suggest every 1-2 weeks if at all possible. After you have more than 15 videos up, then here is what you should do: Get end cards. That way you can promote your other videos on one video.
After 15 videos you should also ask for help again so we can help you improve. It's really hard to help someone when they have only 2 videos on their channel. Hope this helps!
.I know my editing needs some work but I'm learning
You have the foundation of an awesome gaming channel. You have a webcam: which is good. You have your thumbnails down pat. Your recordings are lagless. That means all the important stuff is good. To improve however... Your music in your BO3 Kill Confirmed video (the music at the beginning) is a little loud compared to your voice. For your banner, you need to find a way to take advantage of all that width space... At least eventually. You should probably make it so the people you subscribe to don't show. For some reason your channel is also not in the format as most other Youtubers. Check out "Chickadee Plays", which is one of the people you are subscribed to, to find out what I mean. Find out how to switch to that. You should make a sting and an outro. You should also add a watermark. Good channel overall. Once you do those things you should ask in the "Reviews and Channel Feedback" again on how to improve.
Hope this helps!
I would like a review, thanks!
Awesome channel dude, I subbed. You have literally everything set up right. The only thing you can improve is your thumbnails. For your thumbnails you usually don't want anything in the bottom right, as it's blocked by the timestamp (I believe that's what it's called.) You usually want to have a bigger size with your font to. Besides that you are good. You might want to look at other channels which have similar content to see what you can improve. You might also want to get into some forums and see if you can do some Colab with other Youtubers who do Paintball on their channel. Great videos mate.
This is an example of a sting: Los Stingas. The sting is basically the 5-15 second video before the actual video where the person's name dances around, usually to dubstep. If you require more of an explanation just ask.
I'm going to close this post when it reaches 250 replies. Just so you guys know.

I Love YTtalk
I'd love a review if you have the spare time still (These threads always get so bombarded, I understand you having a cut off point, haha.)
For your channel:
First impressions are that I like the top banner and avatar. I'm wondering if the logo would look better with the long bar acting as the 'i' instead of having it be to the side.
I'm a little confused as to what your channel is about though, just glancing at the main page. You have a playlist that states it's self explanatory, but it's not for me xD The videos you have listed seem random and I don't know what they mean. I went to the about page to learn more, but unfortunately I didn't get much. I now know it's family-friendly and potentially faith related, but other than that, I have no idea what you do on your channel. Jumping over to the videos page, I'm seeing gaming videos, so are you a gaming channel? I'd recommend making it a bit more obvious. Perhaps adding a subtitle to your top banner, more info on your about page (the few first words show up when you hover over someone's username, so they're pretty important!), and a more understandable front page. Maybe even have a video auto-playing? One of your more recent/better quality ones or perhaps a channel trailer?
Hope that helps! Best of luck to ya'!

Now, I think your channel is an awesome art channel. Unlike all the other artists you actually have commentary, coming from a good mic. This is great. Your branding is great. Your thumbnails are great. The one skill I'm having trouble mastering. Your branding doesn't really coincide, however it's by the same artist so it does it's job well enough. You don't need to fix anything with that.
For the sentences in your banner you may want to spread them out and take advantage of the space you are given. As in, move them to the left and right so you can take advantage of the width. If you have a specific reason for not doing this, let me know please because I got a lot to learn to. You might also want to make a watermark for youtube As in, this thing: http://www.wikihow.com/Add-a-Logo-or-Watermark-to-Your-YouTube-Videos
What kind of channel is your channel? A vlog or gaming channel? or what? Please respond with an answer.
Besides that add a watermark, take advantage of the space in your banner, research how you can improve your thumbnails, and keeps posting videos.
