Small problem

Whoop Whoop
I have to this problem where, as I start editing, I start saying to myself, "This is crap, scrap it", this happens with every video I make and although i know why i can't seem to fix it.
The reason this happens is because I keep trying to be someone else in my videos, im unsatisfied with myself, i think im too boring, so i try to be like other youtubers in my video, but when im editing i see how "not me or them" it is and it makes me see it as bad. how can i fix this? it's really starting to effect my videos, as you'll see in the next one i upload (sometime this weekend)
 
In the same boat, man!!

Honestly, best advice I can give is: write, record, edit, upload. Don't take breaks. The longer you sit on an idea, the more you'll hate it.

Or if you do sit on something, sit on it for a week, so you have time to rediscover what you liked about the idea in the first place. Stay strong!
 
Also worth noting: when you're big and famous, people will enjoy going back and watching the process of you finding your voice.

Go watch early WheezyWaiter or Vlogbrothers for good examples of horrible starts ;)

Point is, don't expect things to be perfect. And you only improve when you've put yourself out there.

I feel like in a way you do have to have a sort of persona in front of the camera or whatever it is. I'm not saying don't be yourself, but you're there to entertain and you're not usually always trying to entertain someone. So you should first be comfortable in your own skin before you do the other part. Just keep working at trying to make a product you're happy with, and if you're not, keep trying. That's the only way it'll get better.
