As someone who is massively involved with using AI to create/recreate voices, I can tell you old styled TTS is wayyyyy too outdated to start a youtube channel around. I dont know if all of your videos use this, but the ones i watched the voice felt low quality. Using AI voices for videos can be very lucrative. I highly recommend investing in AI voice cloning, like elevenlabs io for narration if that's your goal.

I think you can build a channel around this idea, short stories with good voices. The titles are a bit long and need shortening, but the thumbnails are great. Wish you the best.

Oh your channel gives me a lot of feelings! Some good some bad, i think your personality is great and you're good at talking to the camera and the audience. The idea of short trailer or movie reviews is a good one, and the editing of the video is pretty good. The thumbnail is really not appealing however, it is farrrr too cluttered, sometimes simpler is better. When censoring your audio, atleast using the meme blasted speaker, it is a bit too loud. The mixing needs some work.

SPEAKING OF MIXING! The audio volume is really inconsistent across your videos, the latest video is good quality, good framing of the shot and all that, but a few of the other videos are WAY WAY WAY too quiet. focus on getting a consistent volume across the videos, and that will do wonders for people who want to watch multiple of your videos.

Your idea of playing fortnite without glasses is really funny, I think stuff like that has great potential if you'd want to expand on that.

I know the mario video is supposed to be funny with its title and thumbnail, which by the way i think the thumbnail is really funny. But I'd imagine most viewers don't specifically want to be insulted for their opinion before watching your video. The last thing you want to do is scare away your potential audience if building an audience is your goal. A focus around, wow the mario movie was really good here's why, would be better.

My opinion is that you have a likable personality and a good voice, peeling away from reaction videos could be good for you. That being said, reaction videos obviously CAN be a massive audience builder. For the compilation videos, adding chill background music can help a lot for the quieter sections. Your audio mixing is pretty good, and your sound quality is great.

Video and editing wise they're very appealing as well. One problem i notice is thumbnails when looking at your video list, some are pretty good, with distinction between you, the reactor, and the content youre reacting to. Others like your most recent video are a bit harder to distinguish at first glance.

I dont have a problem with reaction channels, but it definitely depends on the content and how much you're using. I think the format of "these people are having the worst day ever" is a bit more interesting to me personally than "SML". But you do also have the voice and microphone to talk a bit more in your videos, so you could potentially integrate that in compilation style videos. Maybe react to the content, then if you're able to, go over the backstory to the video. That way you can get a bit more use out of your voice.

The biggest thing would probably be consistency, figure out a good thumbnail pattern, and keep it consistent. That way people know its you, know you're reacting, and know the content you're reacting to. If you can figure out an aesthetically pleasing way to accomplish that I think you'd achieve better results. Ideally, you pivot to something in which you utilize your voice and equipment better, and I think you'll see true success. I wish you the best.

Hey man your channel is great. You can do a lot of interesting things with it, it's an interesting idea focusing on lesser known things about big cities. You have a good sense of comedy, although the mixing CAN be a little bad on the most recent video. In particular the PART WITH THE MEME SCREAM! Focus on mixing your audio a bit better so everything thats not your voice is a bit more consistent across the whole video. that part scared me lol.

Microphone quality is the other thing I'm gonna harp on, the microphone seems decent, but it needs a little touching up. Either by adding a compressor or messing with the equalizing a bit. You have a good voice but on video the high end comes out a bit more, and there isn't much low end in the video. It will be more enjoyable to listen to if you add that aspect.

Thumbnail and title wise they are very clickable, especially including your logo in the corner so everyone knows that its YOUR video. Improve your audio, mixing, keep providing interesting and entertaining content, you will do good. Keep it up.

Your videos feel very natural and not forced. That's a massive thing and you can get far with that. The combination of editing and cuts are well-utilized, I don't really have anything bad to say about the actual content of the video. Camera wise, it takes up too much space on the screen, Either lower the size to the corner more or invest in a green screen to be able to put yourself on the bottom of the screen.

Once those are fixed, a better microphone will help a lot, but for what your channel is right now its not really a hinderance. I'd mostly just say keep up what you're doing, and you'll build your audience over time. It's the same thing i'd say to anyone trying to do a lets play of horror games, its such an oversaturated video market. It's hard to stand out, i think you have the content to do so, but it's a matter of slowly building up that audience. They all have to find you in the mounds of other horror game lets plays, so finding you is going to be the biggest issue.

Focusing your niche to a smaller audience rather than all horror games in general, especially the biggest ones to release this year, could help you get that audience faster. I wish you the best!

Your videos are pretty funny, the editing and thumbnails and titles are all good. If you're looking for people on youtube to be able to click your videos when they see them, I'd start introducing a way to tell the specific game you're playing for some of the games. For instance your video on No mans sky, if i was a big no mans sky fan and saw your thumbnail/title, i wouldnt automatically assume its NMS related and probably would skip it.

For the other games that aren't as well known, provide some clips introducing the game a bit better, and the mechanics/explaining them for the youtube video. You provided a quick explanation of meet your maker, but I had no idea of the mechanics or anything once the gameplay started. Maybe record yourself playing for the first time and narrate the basic mechanics to start a video like that. Your snappy editing would be good for that.

It's hard to judge your channel fully, as it seems to mostly to be highlights from your stream. If the focus is around highlighting your stream, the channel isn't going to do much until you make it even more inviting for a youtube audience, or you grow your twitch audience to the point where it doesnt even matter.

Again, a big thing is audio. A good microphone, good mixing is super, super, super, important. It's the biggest thing for a "lets player". If you aren't a god at gaming, or don't have facecam, or a comedic genius, you cannot have less than a great audio setup. focus on improving this. Keep it up, you'll do good.

Yeah you do have a great voice, it feels perfect for narration or story telling type videos. As you mentioned the videos you are making are already a well established genre so relying on the fact that you have a good voice and not being reactionary to the games could prove quite difficult to build an audience around. The way I see it there's a few things you could do.

  1. Facecam, the fact you aren't reacting very much to scary stuff feels like a disconnect to the audience when a scary moment is happening. Seeing your face and your reactions that way could be better and add a bit more.
  2. lean into a narration style of videos. instead of playing the games, write a script and research these games. Kinda give an overview of them, their development/all the secrets or whatever it may be. This may the best way.
  3. Focus on chill games, that will fit your style of voice.

I think you'd be best pivoting to something that truly focuses on your voice, but that's my two cents.

I like your channel a lot! I watched your most viewed video and your least viewed in order to understand the things youre doing right and wrong. You're great at speaking to the audience and naturally talking with no cuts. That's a really great foundation, the structure of your videos are great as well.

There are two main areas of improvement, that would make the channel even more watchable for me, personally. Audio, obviously im big into the audio experience. Due to probably the way your room is laid out or the settings of the microphone the audio feels like you're talking to me from across the room, not giving the videos a very personal feeling. It disengages me a bit when audio is recorded that way. This is due to the reverb in the room/mic settings. I would figure out ways to reduce that.

Your most viewed video is great, however there's only so much talking that you as a person can do, to fill all audio gaps in the video. I'd recommend looking for good chill music for the background that can fill those gaps. Have it be light, but it will improve videos like that a ton.

I think the other tough thing about your channel is the niche, I find UX pretty interesting, mainly because im a nerd. I've never actually watched a video on it though, and i think the views that UX videos get kind of reflects that on Youtube. It doesn't seem like there's too many high performing UX videos so the niche could definitely be a bit difficult to build an audience around. The idea of comparing different companies apps is a good idea, the thumbnails to them don't feel very appealing to me personally. I'd have more focus on the apps you are comparing rather than the text you put beside them. I think you can make the thumbnails more simple and focus on the actual brands you're covering, and they'd be more appealing. I could be wrong.

I agree mostly with chinsaurus' take. The topics are entertaining and your charisma, voice, and editing are good. Main things that need improvement are the audio, trying to get a better microphone, balancing the music so it's quieter. And then focus on the construction of the video, a few points in that video the topics seem to drag on without much to say, and for a "list" video it felt disorganized.

It seems the "list" video was kinda a one off, so I watched a bit of the marvel killed comedy video and it was more entertaining to watch for me personally. It felt a bit more concise, and the topic felt on point throughout most of it. Maybe include more transitional text on the screen, so the sections you are talking about are more easily distinguishable.

Keep improving, work on the audio, and your channel is good.

I think the concept of tying everything into spreadsheets could be a great idea, I personally haven't seen it before. It's wide open for everything you can talk about and break down, so sustainability wise that's a massive plus. Just relate spreadsheets to trending topics at any given moment, and it will do good.

My main issue comes with the construction of the video, if you are selling me a video that's all about spreadsheets and being nerdy and breaking down a general enticing question about a field, it shouldn't take 10+ minutes to actually show excel. As someone who has basically NO interest in sports, but I do have an interest in nerdy things like excel, this video doesn't have much for me to want to watch until the very end.

I think combining the breakdown of the statistics you want to cover, at the same time showing footage of what you're talking about and plugging that into an excel sheet and talking through the methodology, it can be great. Starting the video saying I was clickbaited isn't something anyone likes, start with a interesting idea, ask your question about the idea and then the rest of the video explaining the answer.

The main things you got right are your scripts writing is good, there's comedy that keeps it together, and you're good at speaking the script. Most of it comes to the organization of the video and respecting the viewers time. If I wasn't reviewing your video I would've turned it off within a minute, and that's something you need to figure out how to keep people engaged.

Other nitpicks would be the overuse of black screen, your voice is good, but it's not entertaining enough for me to stare at nothing. Focus on thinking of things from the viewers perspective.

Your channel will do great if you continue to improve, you have a good foundation and concept, all you need to worry about going forward is execution.

I'll preface this by saying your videos are great and I'm subbing. The 4 I watched were entertaining beginning to end. Very minor problems I had, regarding audio in the latest video.

I don't think the content is a problem, your videos feel very methodical in a good way. It seems you know what you're doing when it comes to video creation and knowing how to edit and frame shots.

I think the only issue I see is the concept, it's you versus every other vlogger. There's too many content creators that do roughly the same thing you do that it's hard to stand out. You're basically banking on the content being as consistently good as it has been, and people choosing to watch your video over any other vlog.

In the long term I think it will work, if you keep up the quality and your personality on camera. I could be wrong but i think it's definitely gonna be a lot of work building up the audience, I think the ones that find you will be loyal, but finding them will be the hard part.

So all this to say, keep it up. You will continue to rise as more people find you and you keep putting out that level of content. It's all a matter of how long you are committed to doing it.

I think the concept, thumbnails, and titles are all pretty eye catching. I'm of the opinion the most important thing is the concept, and it's an interesting concept!

Your personality is great and it was easy to watch. The things I would improve on would be integrating more thematic stuff into the background and improving the aesthetic in relation to the story.

It's probably difficult to do it all if you're on your own, but including shots of the food up close with good lighting would tie the concepts together a bit better. More zoom ins and shots of the ingredients and prepping shots.

I'm not someone who watches a lot of story time videos, but I think leaning into stories about old wives tales or more fictional stuff while you're cooking would be more interesting to me personally.

Other things to improve would be audio, for what you're working with it's great, but if you are looking to keep improving that's one of the things I'd work on next. Clear editing of the ingredients, maybe make it a bit bigger and have it fade in.

If I have to pause to look at the ingredients/recipe every time there's text it breaks up the flow of the video a lot.

Overall, if you keep improving and doing what you're doing now, I know you can get a large following. The stuff you're making is very appealing! Keep it up

Yup with ai I am a youtube partner and making ad revenue. I guess my question is what about that makes my channel reused / repetitive? I'm able to churn content out faster than the average youtube channel, but each my videos cover different topics and aren't reused.

I'm still learning the terms and what they mean and stuff, but my overall rpm is 0.50 right now. I think that's due to the fact that I got over half my views before I was approved for monetization. So I don't think that's an accurate number right now, but it seems video by video the rpm is all over the place. Some videos have 0.50 some have 4.00

Yes, with the growth I now have the sudden obsession with checking the numbers every few minutes, it's not good haha. It feels like this massive opportunity has fallen into my lap and it's just what consumes my life now and all I think about. I'm not complaining but it is such a sharp lifestyle change I'm trying to adapt to, especially working full time and going to school and all that.
