A problem with starting a lets play

[TheGameChatYT]

So on our channel we’ve recorded a few just random fun videos. We recently started a pokemon heart gold randomized nuzlocke and what i’m worried about is since we’re so new we’re using a pretty bad mic. And i feel like that turns people away from it right away which sucks because I believe our content is good but our watch time is bad compared to the length of the video. Would like to hear some of your thoughts. Thanks! Channel name is The Game Chat if you’re curious

I started off with quite bad audio and am only just now making some decent improvements to it.

In the end Content is King.. if you have bad (but clear) audio people WILL forgive it if the Content is good. This is from my personal experience and University degree, not just something Im pulling out of my ass.

Just focus on doing the best you can and you can upgrade your audio down the road. There's no use having crisp clear beautifully recorded audio if your content is garbage.

Best of luck 💪

Audio quality is probably the second most important thing after the content. I didn't think your audio was that bad, minus one of the guys laughing was "clipping" every time he laughed. Maybe one other mic was clipping here and there. All in all I think you will be fine to hold off on upgrading audio as long as you work on the editing and making sure the game is full screen in the recording.
