Hi I just started making videos about two or three weeks ago and wanted to know how I could improve my content. I was also thinking about redoing the banner and getting some branding but I am not sure if that's necessary with the kind of content i'm posting at the moment. ANY advice at all would be helpful, I appreciate any suggestions!
 
Hey just checked it out... I watched the video on harassment, I noticed your intro volume was one volume then you brought in the video of you talking and the volume was way down. I'd make sure to keep the audio levels at a semi even level. I usually try to aim for -6 to -12 db.

As for your shooting location I'd recommend making a bit of a 'set', don't need to put a lot in, just get a bunch of posters of stuff semi-related to your channel. I saw you did stuff on outfit you wears, so something about fashion could work. Then make sure to have a light behind you facing away to shine on the posters so they're bright and visible and no shadows on them. You seemed to be lit well enough, but little things like I suggested would help bump up the quality for minimal cost.

Thank you for the input, its very very helpful! I think I'll set some time apart to decorate before I film next. I just moved in and have been putting it off since I got here hahah.

You're welcome. I wish you the best of luck on your channel. I'm interested to see how it turns out. Oh and I just realized, if you're gonna go with the poster root, make sure it's not glossy otherwise you'll get reflections from the lights and won't look anywhere near as good compared to a matte finish.
 
HD videos is great. Vocal audio is pretty good but perhaps a tad low in areas at times. Kinda loud to me would be hearing it very clearly on about 15-17 volume on a Windows machine. Banner is ok but I would advise you to come up with a slogan and a schedule to be placed in the banner. A schedule overall would be helpful to any viewers of potential subscribers.

A review of mine in return would be helpful :) I'm MusicForTheDay and I run a channel that features a daily show highlight a variety of quality free royalty-free music pieces for project/video content creators like yourself! Have a quick look and you may find something. A review of the brand, thumbnails, video format and editing would be helpful. Hopefully you like the 3D audio spectrum for viewer experience :P

Thanks for the advice, I've been trying to redo my banner completely but maybe just those touches will make it feel more complete! I think your content is great but maybe make your banner a little brighter and more noticeable. :) I like the tracks, I might use some here soon!

I have been wondering about utilising a glow and utilising the audio spectrum shots in the banner since that is my unique selling point!
I'm glad you like the content and the track selections. Please be aware of the licensing information for music usage in the video descriptions and also that these songs do not belong to me but the highlighting format and the show does. Saying that you got recommendations from my channel would be enough referencing after you have referenced the music track properly :)
