So I found myself at work today not working! I found myself at 7:30am doing a commentary over some Black Ops. Anyone else find something wrong with that? I actually don't find anything wrong with it mostly because I love posting videos. So tip number one for today is "Love what you do". If you don't "Love" whatever it is that you are currently doing that your not going to put forth the effort needed to succeed. Like I said I've attempted to gain popularity in the commentator scene a few times, and have yet to break through. I feel that this is the time for me. If effort isn't pushing your 40 hr a week job to the side for trying to please an audience I don't really know what is.
Don't think I have mentioned this before unless you have actually watched a commentary of mine, but I am software designer for a small lighting company. So its not like I don't like the job I have, but I really don't enjoy myself with the people I work with. They just aren't the same as me. Reason number one that I started doing commentary in the first place. To join a group with people that are my peers, as in gamer people like me.
What I thought was interesting was that I felt different doing this commentary. It wasn't my first, second, or even third so I may just be getting more comfortable with the whole deal. It just didn't feel like I was talking to a computer it felt like I was actually talking to an audience for once. My channel has been open for almost a year and currently have 61 subs who seem to be decently loyal at the moment, but I am pretty sure that some loyalty was lost in the time off that took posting videos.
TIPS O' THE DAY:
1. Be yourself during commentary
2. Love doing it
3. Stick with it if Love is involved.
4. Talk to the audience not the computer
