Hey guys, I'm Greg and my gaming commentary feels a bit lacking. I'd love it if you could hop over to my channel and tell me what you think is wrong and what you think I should do about that and also what I'm doing right so I know to do that more often! Thanks for the help!
 
Not to much wrong with it really.

You could turn the game down and your voice up, that would be an improvement.

Be careful with the self deprivation though, this was a criticism my brother gave me today actually and he is totally right, it gets annoying after a while so stop saying how bad you are doing because really your not that bad.

I think considering how new you are you have very little to worry about because you will improve naturally over time, many people who are great now started out at your level. So be patient and enjoy what you are doing, that's the most important part after all.

Thanks for the advice! usually I keep my volume pretty low (I think) but ill see if i can lower it a bit more. Also I realize the self criticism isnt all too entertaining,
i just run out of things to say some times
 
Yeah, I know what you mean and it must be difficult now but in time it won't be, at least I hope not. At any rate you'll developed your own special brand of filler.
 
YOU SUCK!!! just kidding thought i would pretend to be the internet for a little bit lol

Good audio quality, funny commentary but i think the videos are too long. Video viewership falls off sharply if the video is longer than ten minutes.

Thanks for the advice! I don't usually think about how long the vids are but ill try to keep them shorter or maybe edit them down a bit?
 
I'd recommend keeping your videos shorter(doesn't have to be everytime) but not a lot of people(especially on mobile devices) have the time to watch something 20 mins plus. Maybe 5-10 min clips and you could always do part 2's and 3's etc. Good luck! :)
 
Hey Greg! Checked out a couple videos from your channel and I gotta say I love what you're doing so far! Here my two cents and what you should work on/ keep the same . First off I like your commentary style you sound confident when. You talk which always nice in a gaming commentary . As far as the music being too loud I think it's just a matter of the mix between the vocals and background sound (same problem that gets me too) so maybe messing around with that mix will help! As far as running out of things to say that will improve over time , Jenn and I like to think of stuff before hand to talk about just in case we hit an awkward silence! Keep up the great work man!

Thanks for the tips! I don't usually think of things to say before I record but I'll have to try it as I usually run out of things to say :P

Yeah we've found it helpful to be like "okay if all else fails maybe we can spark a conversation off of SUBJECT" and then once we start talking we just go off of that going on random tangents some times xD, btw that game disco dodgeball looks amazing where did you get it?
