I've heard it said that after something like ten videos you're more comfortable with the camera. I really hope this is true because I feel totally strange talking to a camera lens. I can't see a reaction or fully connect with my audience and that makes things difficult for me. Now, I'm not the most extroverted guy in the world... in fact, I'm a pretty quiet guy around people I don't know.
My voice isn't something that I can change very easily. Or even at all. I wish I had a voice that was more like Mike. It's just the right tone and pitch. I don't think anyone will ever leave him a comment saying, "I unsubscribed to your channel because your voice sucks." Unfortunately, I see that happening to me one day...
With that said, though, I think the issue with my voice stems directly from not being comfortable in front of the camera yet.
The biggest issue with my Various in general is that I don't have a signature look or feel to each of my videos. If you look at most of the YouTubers that I subscribe to, they have a gimick or flare or something that makes their videos theirs. One of the channels I really like is KipKay. This guy makes some of the coolest things from household items and some electronics parts that you can pick up pretty cheap. Not only does he have a theme to his videos, but he has a simple pattern to the way his videos are produced. I like that and am trying to find my own look.
While I have been picking at my videos, I must say that I'm happy with most of them. I think right now I just want to be more comfortable with who I am in front of the camera and then things can just grow from there.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or tips for Various, leave it in the comments section, email me, or leave a comment over at my YouTube channel. Hope to hear from you! Thanks for reading.
