Chiptune VideoCast

[xhunterko]

Hey everyone!

I started my own videocast this week on youtube. I have only about 3 videos right now. The third is being processed actually. I don't know if you guys listen to chiiptune/video game music or not. Here's a linkie to the third one though.

Some say I'm too loud, others can't hear me. How's the voice on this?

[Gil]

You don't smile, we can't see your face and you don't speak out.

It's not about volume, but you tend to mumble a lot. Try adjusting body position, you can't speak clearly when you're hunched like that.

I know it's criticism, just trying to help out of course

[xhunterko]

I'm camera shy and I have scoliosis. Try and hold your arm up continuosly for awhile. It gets tiring. And not a problem. I'll try to speak up a bit more. I guess smiling helps too. Thanks for watching though!

i actually like the hat thing. I say you should try actually over-pronouncing your words and exaggerating your enthusiasm. It's good practice if you've fallen into a habit of being underwhelming. Plus you can always edit out mistakes. Also don't be afraid to move around!

@gil: "you can't speak clearly when you're hunched like that."

I did not realize that you were meaning my leaning over the keyboard, my bad.

@Sakket

I don't think that'll work for me. I'm not that good at acting. Though I did think about doing a voiceover change next episode. Squeaky maybe?
About the hat, I thought, nerd with a dorky hat on, not cool. A Talking hat, kinda cool.

Thanks guys!

(here's one and two if you'd like to see 'em:

Yeah, I think it will help with intonation if you sit up straight.

About the shyness:

Get comfortable with the hat, then try it without.

When I was your age, I was pretty insecure. I forced myself to talk to a random stranger each day and not care what they think about me.
By my final year, I was chairman of the computer club, playing ball with the jocks every lunchbreak and I took a girl from the drama club to prom.

YESMAN!

I agree with this advice.

"When I was your age"

cough, just a quick correction, i'm 27 cough

(not to be taken offesnively, some of my co-workers thought I was 17 until I showed them my id, if that's not what your thinking, ignore this altogether)

[Gil]

Hmm, I remembered you were a lot younger? Strange. Who is it that I'm thinking of?

You're about my age then. Sure. comments still apply

[xhunterko]

Nope, might my other behavior have something to do with that...  .
By the way, I'm going to have episode 4 ready to post later if you want to see it.
