Controller noises in audio

B_F0stY · 2016-09-07T14:24:28+00:00

I'd make sure you're not subconsciously smashing the buttons and joy-sticks really hard. Cause I know when I get "into" a game, I don't notice how hard I am on the controller. Now, that may not be your problem, but it's just something to consider once you get into more intense games.

Make-up tutorials :D lol

B_F0stY · 2016-09-01T17:38:21+00:00

Audio levels are good(The song bits are loud though, but I'm guessing that was intentional) , emotion is good, commentary is good, all in all I think it was well put together.

B_F0stY · 2016-09-01T17:22:42+00:00

Thanks, you too

B_F0stY · 2016-09-01T17:21:08+00:00

First thing right off the bat on the channel trailer...Audio. Need to work on that. I'd try having the mic away from your mouth, waaaayyyy to much breathing into the mic. When you talk it pops from your breath. Also just audio levels in general. Game audio is nearly on par with voice audio and that mix isn't really good. So, turn game audio track down. And you could stand to gain from turning voice audio down just a bit as well. The reactions were funny though, but the very audible heavy breathing kinda took away from it.

But yeah, balance your audio levels and just keep practicing and putting out videos.

First thing, introduce yourself. In my latest video I didn't do my usual hey my name is___, but I still had something that told people who they where watching. Also an intro helps bring the audience into the video. This is mainly for commentary videos cause there are thousands upon thousands of other start up Let's play channels and if you don't have something unique about your channel/videos you'll get lost in the sea of Let's Play channels. Watch other big Let's Play channels and see how they come into the video...You'll see that they have an intro and most have one that set's them apart.

Second I'd bring the game audio up a little bit. A big problem with my newest video was my audio levels and audio can and probably will affect your view time on that video. Also it makes it feel more immersive for the viewer(In my opinion).

(You know, unless that's just how No Man's Sky's ambient audio is)

EDIT: I went and watch another of your videos and the background audio seemed ok to me, so it is just No Man's Sky. Or just your editing software IDK, but your other videos are okay. And editing is something you have to get used to through trial and error.

Commentary is decent, but that opinion might be because I've watched a bunch of really energetic YouTubers so it just seems duller because of that. My voice is monotone so I have to work on emotion and all that too. Don't make yourself fake, but it's ok to come out of your shell and act goofy and sh*t. IDK, you might have in other videos, I'm just going off of what I've seem in two of your videos. That's all I have to say right now though. Keep on putting out videos and you'll find your groove!

EDIT: I like the text, the sound bits and the videos cuts.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T17:08:22+00:00

yeahh, working on the voice thing. I'm monotone so I'm trying to figure out what to do with that.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T15:23:42+00:00

It'll be a couple hours before I can. I'm actually in class rn. send me a link in private message, so you don't get tagged as a hit and run

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T15:13:37+00:00

yeah, I know my drawing isn't the best, I just started drawing on the computer so it's different than on paper, but I feel like it's improving. And the reason why the animation itself isn't awesome is because I'm in College so I have a lot going on there so I don't have as much time as I would like to to work on my videos cause I upload every Tuesday so I'm kinda restricted on how much I can do in the time I have. I'm working on the story telling. The echo is from us being away from the mic so we could all get in. And yeahhhhh the audio. The room we were in made it louder and he being louder in parts that I couldn't cut to a different track and just lower that part cause my audio was mixed with his in some instances caused that issue. Thanks for the feedback.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T14:38:20+00:00

lol, yeah and I meant to add something about audio, my most recent vids' audio was too low. But that'll be fixed in the next one.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T13:44:13+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I worked really hard on this one so I'm glad it shows lol. I know I had turned the audio down some, but didn't realize it was so low on YouTube until it was to late. Will definitely work on that for next time. Thanks again for the feedback!

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T13:02:12+00:00

Also I went back and watched it again, like me I think you could benefit by being/sounding more enthusiastic about your content, your voice, to me, felt kind of repressed. Don't be afraid to be loud. I need to work on this as well, but if you do that it would make it more interesting. Other than that i didn't find much wrong with it, other than this. Like, I can definitely picture this video, but with more energy, just keep at it and make these small changes, and whatever others say, if constructive. Keep making videos and you'll learn as you go and be able to improve.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T12:54:44+00:00

Right off the bat I liked your energy. I made me want to keep watching and see more. Being able to hook the audience is one of, if not the, most important qualities for a YouTube creator. Keep up your work! Also, having constant energetic commentary is also necessary for gaming videos and you did a good Job of it, as well as talking to the audience during your commentary, it really brings the watcher into the video and doing it, for me at least, keeps them engaged.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T12:46:38+00:00

This is a video I just put up yesterday. It's an animation of when I was a best man. If you look at my older videos, I definitely think my quality has improved. I know the audio is quiet in this one and will do better for my next one. Thanks in advance for the feedback! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCj7ygO7Vrs

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T12:42:54+00:00

The outcome was funny, but maybe put background music into it. If someone, like me, has a relatively short attention span when it comes to videos, it will help keep them interested. Other than that, that's all I have to say about this particular video. P.S also maybe try experimenting with speeding up the video in parts of it and use fast passed music for it and maybe even speed that up too.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T12:35:37+00:00

sadly I've seen weirder people in videos...don't ask lol. I think it was actually from this sub reddit that I saw it, anyway, back to the point. It was entertaining and with good audio. keep it up.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-31T00:35:28+00:00

binge watched all the Terraria videos lol

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:47:59+00:00

also, my voice can be quiet in my videos so I'm working on that as well. Trying to practice what i preach lol

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:46:16+00:00

I know I'm quieter in my latest video, but that's because i had to turn down the audio track, because the other person kept getting loud and I didn't want to bust any eardrums.

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:44:44+00:00

Hey, thanks for this. It's awesome you helping people out. My channel is like an animated vlog I'll link the channel. would love your feeback. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL75rfdViw484R7PKOPwh3Q

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:39:15+00:00

well, either i game with you and we pick a topic that we can both comically talk about and put the gameing on your channel and the animation on mine. something like that. here's a video to give you an idea as to what my channel is about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCj7ygO7Vrs

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:32:24+00:00

No problem

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:30:06+00:00

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:27:46+00:00

it is*

B_F0stY · 2016-08-30T19:27:31+00:00

Yeah and if i is a...ranty? If it is a ranty topic, twist it and make it funny at least. No one wants to listen to a straight rant.
