I am currently working on becoming a successful youtube commentator, but I seem to running into some road blocks. This is the start of my blog about my travels. I hope all the readers enjoy.
I also hope that my readers can contribute their findings along the way as well. My youtube channel(HippyHD) currently is very small, but it is a work in progress as I said. In the beginning I had some trouble with what I should talk about with my first commentary. So I thought hmmmm. what could it be, and bam! it hit me in the face. Since its my first one I should probably introduce myself and talk about my history with gaming, which was what I was going to be commentating about in the future anyway.
Later in the video I also thought about involving the viewer with some questions for them answer. Although I don't have many viewers at the moment I felt that asking the questions anyway would get my later viewers involved once I got more viewers.
TIPS FOR FIRST VIDEOS:
1. Rehearse topics before recording
2. Make sure if it is gameplay you are commentating over that it is great gameplay. (I picked one which i had a really good score)
3. Introduce yourself to the viewer.
4. Interact with the viewers Ex. Questions, Conversation Topic, etc.
5. HD quality video is best.
6. Mic quality is also highly wanted. No cracks or pops in the mic would appeal to the viewer.
I plan on going over my entire trials and tribulations while striving to be a youtube commentator. So this is just day 1. I will try to post daily from here on out about how my progress is coming along or not coming along. With tips for every post if I come across some.
