So how should I begin my educational videos?

[TheBardKen]

I have a series called "Bardic Knowledge - Folklore and Culture" that's about interesting tidbits about various legends and creatures. My general channel's purpose is to talk about various subjects in a Bard-like fashion. My current problem is my introduction (My outro sucks too but I already know how to fix it, I just need time.).
My intro is never the same, I usually say "Hello" or "Hey" then waffle on.

Should I introduce myself each time? "Hello everyone! The Bard Ken here!"
Or should I just say what today's topic is and skip my name?
Maybe both?
Maybe neither?
Any suggestions?

I think you should for every "Part 1" videos, if you plan on doing your videos like that anyway.

I think it's fine to introduce yourself every video though, I do that on every single gaming video I do. Even on "Part 2"s.
I think I should stop starting each sentence with "I think" as well.

Also, this series you're making sounds really interesting. Bards are awesome, and I'd love to learn about them.

I think you shouldn't stop starting each sentence that way I think TheBardKen should make a consistent introduction.

Introducing yourself gets the people watching get to know you a bit so I'd say yeah

I agree with all of their comments, you should introduce yourself. You could tack on "Welcome to" after that maybe

Thanks, I really appreciate everyone's advice on this. I think the general consensus is that I should attempt to introduce myself based on the type of video, and then transition into the topic at hand.
