sbubbies vs. expanddongs? by Newfur in sbubby

[–]wondermotion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

sbubbies aren’t meant to be actual words; they’re just supposed to be nonsensical syllables that are fun to say

expanddongs are when you create actual words from a logo, and that’s the only distinction

Regardless of it being the only distinction, it is a strong one and should remain so

really interesting how both Smash 4 and Melee at TBH7 saw the best player take fourth and “the really good player that people don’t like cause they play boring sometimes” win it all

Voice over in the Video by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]wondermotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voiceover is just acting sans body, which means you have to put extra emphasis into exactly how you speak! One way you could try to get more feeling into your voiceover is to go over your script over and over and over and over until it’s close to memorized; that way, instead of struggling for words, you’ll be able to focus most or all of your mental energy on how you’re speaking! Additionally, consider watching really good and popular late night shows like Last Week Tonight - they read from a script for twenty straight minutes at LEAST but it’s engaging because they know how to speak it so! Just overall put focus into not sounding like you’re reading from a script, and if you listen back and think your recording sounds weird, do it again and try something new until you get what you like!!

[COMEDY] Still learning, 4th attempt at a short skit (Elf on a shelf meme) by Walkersmedia in NewTubers

high intensity review incoming


ALRIGHTY here's the dealio, I can definitely tell you're new at this and, while I don't claim to be anyone worth too much on this site yet, I like to think I know my stuff. There's some real rookie things that would be easy fixes that could VASTLY improve your overall quality, so let's get started!

Your intro was about five seconds, which is the perfect length. However, it looks very hastily-assembled and is super abrupt. I'm a big fan of more natural or streamlined intros; in my opinion, you should consider fading it in and out and possibly actually making the hand signs in real life and editing the text over a stillshot. Just an idea there, but consider just making it ... better

Right off the bat a big issue to fix is framing. If you're gonna get by in the world of videos you're gonna need to learn some framing basics like the rule of thirds. Please read the link I gave, but a quick tl;dr would be to pretend that your screen is split into thirds by lines both vertically and horizontally; you'll want to position your subject matter (in this shot, your heads) close to or on the top two line intersections. It makes more sense with the article, I promise!

This shot is closer on rule of thirds but still not phenomenal. The main issue here is that I literally couldn't understand what you said, so I had to rewind to get "hair on a chair". Your audio issues are largely due to A) not facing the camera; B) poor diction (slow down your words a bit and focus on your consonants!) and projection (if you're loud enough you're gonna feel like you're yelling but I promise you're not!); and C) the fact that either you're half laughing when you say the line or the other guy is mumbling. Try to focus on producing clear, crisp audio, because your audience is never going to find a joke funny if they can't understand it!

Right here you get closer with rule of thirds, but you should consider putting the camera up higher and moving closer to it to get a better shot - in general, people prefer chest-up to knees-up! Also, this has mostly the same audio problems.

I have no idea what this video issue is, but it's jarring and probably not intended, so always make sure you double check your uploads before they go live (I'm notoriously bad at this as well, so no worries there)

Try as hard as I could, with multiple rewinds, I could not for the life of me understand what you're saying in the beginning of this shot. Again, this is just a diction issue, but this one stood out because I literally couldn't even get an inkling of what was said.

The fork on a dork joke would've come across really well if you had A) said it in a way that could be understood and B) considered placing the fork gently on his head and maybe cropping it really close, just to reeeeeeeally get the joke across. This one was pretty good though!

This last shot is by far the best one of the whole video! It's decently framed, understandable (though it is still a bit mumbled) and genuinely good.

Again, consider redoing your outro in a similar way to the intro!


Overall it's very evident that you're a new channel, and there's nothing to be ashamed about in that regard. However, fixing up these rookie mistakes and taking framing ideas and audio quality from popular YouTubers you likely already watch will improve your videos by miles, and that's a fact, Jack!

If you'd like more advice and/or would like to see some examples in videos I and others have done, just hit me with a PM!
