    • Could I please get some feedback? :3

      So I just uploaded my first ever commentary video, and I wanted to know if you guys could give me some feedback and perhaps give me some tips and tricks on how to improve. Please don't hesitate on being a little harsh, I can take it. Plus it'll only help me to improve :P

    • 1. i don't know if you can, but i feel like there should be more of a distinction between your voice and the game. turn down the game, and speak up.
      2. Your intro is a little weak.
      3. you have too many silent periods.
      4. be yourself, that will help you out the most.
      5. the video ended very suddenly.

      It looks like you have a lot of potential, the most important thing is to be yourself in your videos. good luck.

    • I don't usually watch these particular game LP's (just not a fan of the game), but sure, I'll give this a go:

      - Like Dub said, intro is pretty weak. Consider a more interesting font and a different color, because it's just hard to see against the BG
      - Video quality: Render your stuff for 720p. It's pretty blurry in some places with some ghosting.
      - Yeah, turn up your audio commentary, I can't hear you very well.
      - You're explaining certain mechanics that I can see on the screen, like having to go right and left as you fly to collect stuff. Try not to say the stuff happening on screen. A lot of people do that (myself included sometimes). Try filling it with other interesting information instead.

      There you go, that's my nitpicking XD

      Actually that is a good thing if you use it right. It is a great way of adding a little bit of filler if you are trying to think of something else to say. Nothing wrong with it what so ever. :)

      Fair enough :) Though true in some cases but not always. I'd say just choose your time to do this. I think telling me to go left and right in that one sequence, for example, was unnecessary. You know you have to collect the coins and you know you have to fly at them to do it. So maybe choose moments like puzzle sequences or something that requires slightly more complicated instruction? oO It's just a matter of preference anyway though, nothing serious.
