Does anyone ever try to write something on a piece of paper first before you do your audio recording

I agree, I recommend writing a script early and making sure you are hitting your key points. I have a notebook where I script out all my stuff. It's always rough, but it gives me an idea of the point I'm trying to get across every time I shoot.
 
A write a looot on a paper, but my English is not that good so I just have to make some preparation before pressing RECORD button.
 
Lia is fine without a script, Me however, my raw solo vlog footage is mostly me staring at the camera contemplating my life choices. XD so I should probably write at least a few points down.
 
Hey LDClaudius, your "My Channel" link isn't working.

Writing a script is essential for my process, mainly because I get a lot of the rough ideas out and then get to polish those ideas in a 2nd draft.
 
When I film my videos, I think of the words that are related to my topic. Sometimes, I use a script but oftentimes I don't since I just say sentences in front of the camera (while filming), then if something goes wrong I pause the camera and repeat the sentence until it sounds right then continue. :))

Here's a tip for you, kiddo, to bring out the best of your videos, jot down keywords of your video's topic. :)
From that point on, WRITE, WRITE, WRITE ;)
 
I think it depends on your content. I personally don't use scripts although I have in the past and did so extensively when I started out with my original channel. One day though I just couldn't be bothered with typing out a script. I'd sat down and said "right I want to talk about A, then B, then C, etc. I wrote these key points down and would normally use this as the starting point for a script. But yea I just couldn't be bothered typing it up. So I just went with it and it worked.

I think the key thing is to remember that everyone is different as to the amount they need to write. Remember having to do speeches during English classes? The people who took a whole script up there to read off of were the worst. They were dull and robotic and lost there place and struggled and it was awkward and horrible and they wanted to sink into the ground. The people who were the best had little cards with bullet points on to keep them on track, they were fluid and seemed more natural. As an example compare Bob Dylans recent 30-40 minute scripted speech with just about any politicians.

Finally I always consider scripts to be used for acting. Actors learn their lines and by definition aren't "real". They are faking whatever they are saying effectively. If you truly can relate to your subject then you wont need to fake it and you probably wont need a full script. Bullet points on a second monitor or on cards to keep you on track would be the way to go. But remember that's its your party and you can do what you want. Do whatever feels right for you.
 
Well, we make shorts, so we kind of need to have a script. One of our series, however, is just given a basic structure, and the actual dialogue and stuff is free balled. It's pretty cool.
 
I've tried it but it only really works for when I'm doing an outro or something similar but I usually do it off the bat or memorize what I'm going to say.
 
I usually don´t write a script, it´s only when I do my top5/10 lists I do write a list, so I can remember which items I will have on it!
