No but seriously. I feel, just from looking at my first few videos, that I'm seriously lacking in energy in my voice. And that, I believe, is really affecting my slow growth on my channel. When do you guys normally record? Morning? Night? 3am on a Monday? Do you drink a lot of caffeine or pump yourself up before recording? Let me know.
 
Film during a time when you are the more excited! For me it is usually during night time, but for some people it is during the morning.
 
Well you need to get yourself into a different persona! Don't use your usual tone of voice....put emphasis on certain words and what not and you will see the energy flow into what you do :)
 
Some people find being in front of a camera easier than others, and naturally developing good communication skills is something that happens over time.

If you are talking about something that you are passionate about it can be alot easier to sound more energetic and excited about it!

Remember to play back different styles of talking... Remember to smile and be clear and consise.

Most importantly, let others give feedback - some times you can be your own worst critic ..

I'm not the most energetic YouTuber out there but I've come a long way since my boring, monotone self from my first few videos. I've found it's definitely something that can be practiced and improved on over time and it gets easier as you become more comfortable talking into a mic or camera. What I used to do was always aim to bring just a little bit more excitement than my previous video with every video I'd make. This allowed me to make small, incremental improvements with every video. Now, after hundreds of videos, it's at the point where I can pretty much turn it on or off in an instant but I'm still working to improve.
