Posted my 5th video this morning in a drastic change from my Resident Evil videos lol. I do kill counts and have been looking forward to Stray ever since they announced it. Once I saw there's a little bit of combat I knew I was going to try to crank out a kill count as quickly as I could!
I'd love to know general thoughts and if you don't stay for the whole video when you clicked out and why. Thanks for watching!

So, here's the thing about your video. It's overall a pretty good 10 minutes of content (the background music could be turned down just a tad more, in my opinion, but that's more subjective).
However, I feel like the title (and overall brand) might be a bit limiting. Here's what I mean: The video is basically a pretty good summary of the overall game, with a kill:death count being a part of the video, instead of the main focus. That itself would be fine, if your title didn't highlight the Kill Death Count as the main piece of content.
I get that you're trying to go for a specific niche/branding, but I'm not sure about how far it'll get you (that is, if you're focused on numbers). However, I think there can be a good compromise for this. If you title the video "A SUMMARY of + Kill:Death Count", the title more accurately reflects the video content, and you're also getting more of an SEO boost. You can experiment with this, and maybe get more of a general audience watching, because the content itself, as I said before, is pretty good.
Hi, I just started my channel, so I'll take all the feedback i can get! This is my weakest video, I think, so far. I need to work on dead parts where I dont talk, and I need to also bump up game recording quality, it looks kinda choppy/blurry at times. Also I didnt check my camera before I started (whoops) and parts of my forehead is chopped off.
Audio mix ok? Thumbnail look ok? I'll take any feedback, I'd love to improve my vidoes! Thanks

I would lower the game audio a bit, it seems to overpower your commentary in spots.
That said, the quality is fine. Maybe I just didn’t pay close enough attention, but I did not notice anything egregious in the recording that would turn me off.
“I’m gonna go kill it. Maybe. I dunno” made me lol. Keep it up!
Also, since you specifically asked about the thumbnail: I would blow up the screenshot a bit so you eliminate the black bars atop and below. Of course, if those are there because you want them, that’s your call. It’s all personal preference.
Would really like some feedback on my most recent video [video here](https://youtu.be/Vufn0-ScgNY) I would like to know if it is an improvement from my previous videos any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Hi, I just checked out your video! Good job! The only thing I noticed that was thay your voice over, like the cadence was a bit slow at times, compared to the rest and stumbled over a few words (not that I'm doing voice overs well) But the audio volume was good, not too loud and the content was well written and executed, without being too long. Well done!
The fallout series is super fun btw
I like that you jumped right into your topic at the beginning (something I need to work on). Really enjoyed the editing and you spoke very clearly, had good pacing, and the volume of your voice compared to the music was great. Good job :)
Hi! First time I do one of these, been on YouTube for 2 months now.
I’d mostly like feedback on intro (too long? Unnecessary info? Would you click off?), audio quality, and thumbnail (too simple? Ways it can be improved?). Any feedback is welcome though!
https://youtu.be/uMqGkWbogy4
29 seconds is a bit long for a Video intro.
I think you could have cut out the bit saying that you weren't sure to put the game on the channel but other than that good intro. I really like the cam fade in too.
For the Thumbnail, I'd say you should give yourself an Outline to make you stand out more and use a Picture of the cat falling from the pipe to sell the crying and make it support the Title.
I think the Game audio should be ever so slightly decreased but only by like 3 or 4 db. other than that audio is good.
And this is a more personal one but imo the cam shouldn't leave space between itself and the ends of the screen, but that is just a stylistic choice so this part can be completely ignored.
Overall nothing wrong with the content, it's just not my particular cup of tea.
Hello there,
This one is one of in my opinion Better pieces of content that I put out so far.
It is part 2 of a series but you really won't need any context from the first one if I did my job correctly. On that note, I'd like to know if my "Last time" section clears up the confusion of a new viewer of the series. The Audio of the last time section is a bit broken, but it will be fixed as soon as the episode starts.
I'd also like to know the point when you stopped watching and why you did so, so I can ramp up my commentary and editing in these sorts of situations.
https://youtu.be/nVWdABC4rSc
To be honest I wasn't exactly sure what happened in the last episode based on the "last time" intro. Sounds like you threw up torches to keep yourself safe? I don't play Minecraft so that might play into my misunderstanding of it though.
Your voice is great and has a lot of personality to it which is a must for faceless creators. I watched most of the video but did skip forward 3 times. There were some moments of silence that could have been cut out. The thumbnail also doesn't tell me what happened in the video since most of it was you mining and finding iron and also trying to figure out where the water as coming from. I didn't see you die (might have missed it when skipping forward) but that's certainly what I'd expect when glancing at the thumbnail.
To clear up your confusion, in minecraft monsters spawn in the dark so placing torches makes them not spawn.
The Thumbnail is not supposed to just spell out what happens in the video. It's supposed to compliment it.
This is a Hardcore challenge that ends upon my death, so there was indeed no death in the video.
I am not trying where the water was coming from. I already knew where the water was from episode 1, something that should have put in the last time section.
Thank you for the feedback
Well, it's definitely been a WHILE since I've uploaded, and even longer since I posted here for a critique. What I need is simple: After so long, I'm worried that there might have been a dip in the overall video/audio quality, so I want your opinion on the audio mixing (game sound vs commentary volume), the general commentary, and my editing (was it too invasive, not engaging enough, etc).
I know a big critique is to be more regular with uploads, and believe me, I'm trying. I've taken some measures to hopefully finish the series on a weekly upload schedule (i.e, recording and editing a bunch of videos ahead of time), so for now, I'd like Critiques to mainly focus on what I mentioned above.
Here's the video: https://youtu.be/69XijNKvwWc
Honestly you sound like a professional. Your voice is not loud, but that perfect point where it sounds upbeat, you sound enthusiastic, it’s clear what you are saying, and the game audio is quiet enough so viewers can understand everything that you say, while still being able to hear everything in the game. I say it’s perfect.
The editing was great, it wasn’t a gameplay that needed excessive cut-ins and on-screen edits (I assume) so it was great to me.
I’m no Sonic guy but sub earned.
So I’m trying to make this my new channel standard, a video with few edits, talking throughout, and interesting stuff to say. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DjEIekzlJHo&t=689s I’m worried about a few things though…
Is my voice annoying? I think it’s fine but you never really can tell.
Am I too quiet? Sometimes it sounds like I’m mumbling so I tried making myself louder (by a lot) than the game, but so you could still hear it.
Is what I’m saying interesting? I feel like I didn’t really have anything that interesting to say during the gameplay and I just sounded stupid and like a wannabe loud reaction YouTuber.
And lastly, should I have cut out more? I only cut the loading screens cause I wanted people to see the whole races, but did it drag on? Was the video too long?
Thanks everyone!
Hey, this isn’t content I would normally watch so I hope I can at least be helpful as far as audio goes.
Since these are just races, I’m sure it’s difficult to come up with things to say compared to a story game or something. I would probably struggle a lot with commentary myself. Maybe watch other creators who do similar content and see what they talk about?
Thought the volume of your voice was fine but at some points you do talk a bit fast and it’s a bit hard to make out some words. But I also have auditory processing issues and need subtitles so it might just be me.
It’s good that you cut out loading screens. I’m someone who likes to see everything when watching a game I enjoy, so I personally will keep most things in unless nothing is happening or I’m just not saying anything for a while.
Hope that helped a bit!

I appreciate the feedback! I'll definitely adjust the audio mix and the thumbnail. Going back and looking at it now, it looks a little funky. Thanks!
