YouTube Character

[ChemicalScence]

I feel like my videos are kind of boring with me just talking and I don't really think they're that engaging and to be honest I am pretty bad when it comes to ideas...
But one thing I've really wanted to do is have my own YouTube character, someone who I can pretend to be who has their own personality and likes and dislikes, and I can make little skits by myself but as 2 different people but the thing is I have no idea who this person could be, how they should dress, what their voice should be like and so I wont make a fool of myself

Could someone help me with some ideas?

It's no that I'm gonna change myself, this is a totally new person working with me (I'm so bad at explaining what I mean I apologise XD) but this will basically be for entertainment purposes

Do you mean actual skits, like Smosh, or do you mean like little skits inside of your vlogs and Q/A's? If you mean to do actual skits, you could go a route similar to Shane Dawson and just make up new characters (played by yourself) all the time to fit into whatever skit you're doing. If you mean for vlogs, then I would say that you could make a character to make comments on the things that you say, or the answers you give to questions. Perhaps with a personality a bit contradictory to yours? On a side note, I wouldn't be too too worried about making a fool of yourself. The thing about Youtube is that you're putting yourself out there to the whole internet, so it's natural to be a bit mmmm..... cautious, in what you do and how you act. However, you'll find that the things that you feel are foolish, are what viewers feel make you unique. For example, I've seen PewDiePie make a fool of himself time after time in his videos, doing things I would feel utterly embarrassed to do, let alone have on the internet. Yet he has 30+ million subs. In my opinion, if you watch your video and feel that it's outright stupid or unfunny, (depending on the type of video) then maybe you might want to think twice before uploading. Other than that, feeling a little embarrassment might just be a sign that you've done something right.
