  • You should talk about your characters in D and D :)

  • If you want to make videos to just talk about cool stuff that interest you (and us), why not talk about RPG? You characters and stuff... I would love to hear about that.

  • Maybe if you want to do something quicker, you can put out some covers or re-works while you write your own stuff in the background. I'm sure there's a ton of songs your voice would be suited for, and when you are ready, you can put out some of your original songs as well. Even pros do covers (and some really badly). It's easier, takes less time, keeps fans interested until you've polished whatever you are writing in the mean time.

  • Truly you are one of the more under-appreciated gems on youtube, an excellent singer, good song writer, and fair guitarist. Your songs are simple, but always affecting and to crack my jaded emotional manipulation-proofed facade takes quite a bit a skill and heart, and you've got it to an art. In any case for a quick song I'd suggest running a cover with your own spin on it, or expanding upon some existing song; possibly something in the same vein as Escape Key's "Mal's Song".

  • Haha you're hilarious. Keep it up, you're a great singer!

  • YoU cOuLd GiVe TuToRiAlS oN yOuR sOnGs!?!?!?!?

  • you're pretty quirky, and its awesome. anyhow do you take request for song covers?

  • if you are still up for the song ideas, how about a short song about 'Community'? hah

  • Oh man, I could sit and listen to you stammer on nervously forever. So cute. Creeping aside, please do a song for joss whedon, dollhouse, firefly. Anything like that. Look forward to hearing whatever you come up with next anyway! X

  • I've been meaning to do a short story about a boy that was born and raised in his village under the impression that he was to be their prophecized (prophecied?) savior but ultimately fails to protect them when the time comes and is ultimately disowned by them. I think it would be totally rad to hear a song based on the same premise.

  • You are not the worst. i love you. and I have an idea... Firefly! The most amazing show cut short from it's time.

  • I'll stay subscribed no matter what. Vlogging gets much easier the more practice your get. Although I can't wait for more songs. Hope you are feeling well. Car accidents are no fun.

  • Huh wha? ok...if they don't pick you for the next season of AGT then the whole world's gone crazy :) This is great stuff!!

  • Glad to hear that you're recovering well.

  • Message limit lol...

    Been told how good it is for ages. Look forward to the AD song.. almost as much as the season/movie... Almost lol :P x

  • @cossbysweater... I didn't know it was THAT serious... call me stupid but you didn't go into too much detail in the description.. and you seem fine considering.. again stupid me saying this considering the only evidence I have is a short video lol.. really hope your up and about again soon :)

    on the ideas thing, my opinion... Don't ask, write songs for you. *shrugs* just a thought.. I still need to watch "freaks and geeks" I have owned it for ages but never got round to watching it..

  • @bigdaveVStheworld This video was recorded a week or more before the accident. I'm doing much better. Thanks.

  • Color me boring, but I would love to hear more about your Dungeons & Dragons experiences; either through delightful videos like the one above or through even more magically, tragically, wonderful songs.

    Other subjects I would like to hear about: Anything in relation to nerdery of the silly fantastic kind from The Last Unicorn to The Last Airbender.

    Keep up the good work and keep on keeping on.

  • I'd be interested to know about your history with D&D, since you've now written two songs about it. :)

    I've never had a chance to play it, myself, but it always interested me.

  • More DnD songs ! More DnD songs !

  • You may be the most adorable thing ever. Keep up the good work, and make a video about whatever you would like to talk about. Your audience will watch :).

  • I have seen worse talky videos on YouTube. As to the song suggestions, I'm with enragingsilver. You should write a song about all the song suggestions in the comments.

  • Lol damn cute.

  • Comment removed

  • It's time to go mainstream nerd. Do a Star Wars song :)

  • Write a song about asking for song writing topics.

  • I loved this video and how it ended. You should definitely do more of these. Also, more D&D songs!

  • Do a short song about the joy of killing your first dragon!

  • Awww 1339 views... SOOOOO CLOSE BUT SO FAR AWAY!!!

  • You could just keep making videos like this one. It's very cool to see more of who you are as a person outside of your music.

  • You are quite possibly the most adorable person on youtube. <3

  • Take your time Allie, we'll be here.

  • OH, also, in regards to in-between videos: if you want to show us what sort of toys and knick-knacks are on the shelf behind you or if there's anymore cool things in your house like the gumball machine that you think are worth seeing, that could be interesting.

  • Write a song explaining the difference between verbs in the past tense and past participle, relying on "proved" and "proven" as your starting point.

  • well since you know D&D how about a song singing (redundant?) the praises of your favorite class...or your favorite incarnation of D&D (original, AD&D, 2nd Ed, 3rd Ed, 4th Ed)

  • Keep doing what you're doing and in a year you'll be big.

  • @strivinglife

    She shouldn't worry about being big or small. As long as she's having fun, she'll be alright.

  • @GodakDS I agree with you 100%.

  • If you want to write a short song, write a song about something you know well. Write a song about your favorite friend, or pet, or family member.

  • You did awesome, you really should continue to post videos between songs. I am sure it would not take long for you to actually be comfortable just speaking in front of the camera.

  • Please write a song about a Song of Ice and Fire, I will love you forever.

  • I think you should do a song about the office

  • Haha! XD

    You remind me of a highly exaggerated, stereotypical anime girl. Is that a compliment? An insult? I really have no idea!

    Perhaps you could write a song about being crazy emotive/animated/awesome! Yeah, you should do that.

    Or the Skyrim thing. That's also good. Do you play video games? If you don't, you should. I mean, you play D&D. Video games are pretty much D&D's favorite cousin. They only get to see each other once a year, but they make the best of it.

    Keyboard diarrhea, FTW!

  • Just wanted to say you are good at speaking. Just keep your chin up and be confident! Just go with the flow, dont overthink what you are saying...

  • Your' songs are awesome, you are awesome, and I love your' face!

  • I always end up leaving the page with a smile. thx.

    but to be honest, have you even seen half of the videos on youtube? Make videos about anything you want and it'll be all good.

  • Try writing a song about a zombies longing for his wildest desire: brains. You could make it a love song/ballad. :)

  • I'm in love. please make reviews on random shit. thanks.

  • If you thought that was a rant/ramble, you should listen to my friend Carter.

    Love the end. :D

  • @shawnvmartin haha, thanks shawn :)

  • Hi Allie!

    I'm from Ukraine, far from you, isn't it?

    I understood not all from your last video because English is not my native but I'm really in love with English after being listening for your songs.

    Waiting with no patience for your new releases!

    And the idea for new song?.. maybe it can be about that someone on another side of the Earth is waiting for you.. and you even have no idea who is that person.. but the true story is that this person exists and is thinking about you

  • adorkable awkward singing glasses girl.... yes you do rule.

  • You are so cute! Thanks for the video!

    You should do a song about World of Warcraft!

  • A song about your every day life. Keep a notebook with you for a day and write the significant things. It'd be an interesting vlog type music video type... thing.

  • Just read the just read the description... Hope your recovering well from the crash :) I don't really have any ideas... But I just wanted to say I know how it feels to feel insecure about expressions and such, you have nothing to worry about.. very cute :p (but don't tell my girlfriend I said that lol) hopefully pluck up the courage to start my own channel soon.. best of luck in the future :)

    Dave x

  • @bigdaveVStheworld Thank you. I'll be walking soon. It'll just take some practice. I appreciate the warm wishes.

  • In American English, proven is only an adjective (e.g., in the phrase proven formula). English usage authorities have long recommend proved as the proper past tense and perfect tense of prove (e.g., He has proved us wrong.), but American writers often defy this recommendation by using proven in place of proved. Similar trends are seen in British, Canadian, and Australian English, but these dialects, especially British and Canadian English, favor proved by a wider margin.

  • @kittilynn Are you Aunt Kitti? Or is this a coincidence? Whoever you are, that's extremely interesting! I didn't realize! Thank you.

  • @Cossbysweater : Yes, it's me! I found that info on a grammar website! Yay for the Internet!

  • Thanks for the welcome. We're looking forward to seeing more of you.

    Cheers

  • You are just absolutely adorable when you can't find the right things to say. Now that I'm done sounding like a creeper, I say good day

  • Song ideas: Breaking Bad, Big Bang Theory or IT Crowd; Comic books (i.e. Superman, Batman, etc.); Geek Romance

    PS. You could talk about your favorite geeky pop culture (TV shows, video games, books, movies, music, etc.) and you could have current events videos about things that interested, bothered, or pleased you and give your opinion on things. People will want to listen, believe me. Looking forward to more videos. :)

  • Y U NO WRITE SONG ABOUT SKYRIM? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

  • @elmstfreddie hahahaha i love this.

  • Hmm, I don't know. I paused @ 0:17 and got a nice shot of your quirky adorableness (is adorkableness mean?) Anyway, how bout an ode to your glasses? Do you love them? Hate them? As someone that's never worn them what's life like with glasses?

  • Cuuuute! Are you into video games? I'd love to hear a song about Fable. Or about those annoying people who only play shooters but claim to be gamers.  If you aren't into video games, how about a song about some of the annoying issues you run into producing and publishing your videos? All out of ideas... or caffeine...

  • @StitchVIIIVI Fully support this song idea. Not about Fable, but about the shooter people who aren't real gamers.

  • You're adorable and beatiful. Keep on the good songs and videos like this is just cool to watch, since I'm camera shy to. Keep it coming!

    Song Idea:

    Sleepwalking

  • How about a song for the real-life nerds out there? (Out here?) Not about geek culture, but about long days and nights studying and getting lost in the web of knowledge. Since you're still young and in school, I'm sure you can relate to the trials of a nerdy student striving to learn things about which normal people simply don't care, thus spending a valuable part of one's life enjoying knowledge for its own sake. Or maybe you know someone who does such things?

  • @miranatu that's a terrific idea. thank you.

  • It's so cute how awkward you are! Seriously, I mean that in the nicest way. You should do more talking videos so you get the hang of it.

    Also, I know you like stand up. Have you written or performed any jokes? Done any open mics?

  • I'd love to hear a song about British Comedies!

    Black Adder, Fawlty Towers, Jeeves and Wooster, Good Neighbors ( aka The Good Life), Are You Being Served, even some Python and Bean. Heck, you could even mention Spaced and The IT Crowd.

    Anywho, I'm glad to see you're still kickin' and I'm really looking forward to your next song, whatever it may be.

  • Mix it up a little and do Rooster by Alice in Chains. I think you've got the voice for it and the chords are pretty easy.

  • How about a song from the point of view of one of Captain Kirk's alien love interests? Sort of a country girl dazzled by a city guy kind of thing. Just google "captain kirk love interests" for some ideas.

  • Perhaps a song about owning pets, and attempting to train them for poke' battles?

  • I understand the nervousness, but no one here thinks that you're weird. You seem to have a naturally charming personality, so don't worry about sounding weird. Just be yourself, and everyone will love you for it. :-)

  • hahahaha that was super funny. i really liked it.

  • Just relax :)

  • Please continue to give us beautiful videos ands songs :)

  • When you first start talking to a camera, it is weird and awkward. Just keep at it. You are awesome! That's how most of my videos are before I edit them. =P Keep being yourself and keep being awesome! =)

  • I did pause the video and it did astonish me how cute you are every damn second ;)

    It is nice to hear you talk and I don't really get where you're coming from with speech patterns and overly animate expressions, you seemed pretty normal to me.

    As to song ideas how about a song about a zombie pirate that is in love with a robot ninja?

  • Hey Allie, hows it going? I stumbled across your page with your "Song for Ulvaak" which, btw, I love. You have a strong and amazing voice.

    Dont worry about subscribers. Just sing. Its an art. You are good at it because you love it. We all benafit from your talent. :) So, keep singing, talking, and posting! :) I mean hey, your doing this for fun! take a look at my blog. I have no views and no comments. But, I enjoy taking picturs and so I keep posting. johnmarkb.blog.com

    So, keep on posting!!

  • Yeah, don't think random blogging in between videos could hurt.

    A very serious, yet totally not random question: are you into gaming?

    Also, excited about what series, what movie?

    "Silly speech patterns and overly animated expressions" Don't be silly..

  • I don't know how grim you want to get, but what about a song about AMC's WALKING DEAD show, or just that sort of zombie apocalypse situation?

  • Very nice video. Looking forward to more.

  • Allie, your songs are really great and the idea to make videos in between them sounds nice (especially if you're as nervous as in this one, LOL). But please try to get better lighting, even if it's just a desk lamp pointed to the wall in front of you (to act as a reflector). I imagine you must be shy but there's no need to hide in the dark. :D

    Keep up with the good work!

  • @alexandremaki I will I promise

  • I want to hear more about the movies, series, books and games that inspired you to write your songs. What about that for the between videos? (:

  • @tbione fantastic!

  • Haha you're so nervous, as if you're in frony of a crowd, but you can't even see us =D But yeah the song about shyness is a great idea, I have a feeling a lot of us will be able to relate to it =)

  • Still loved it. You're adorable, Ally. (Aly?....Alley?....)

  • @guesirwowghr Allie. Thanks!

  • @Cossbysweater Too many ways to spell that name. :p And not a problem. I'm a big fan. First saw your D&D video, from Dorkly.

  • Your awesome. Accept it and don't worry about the idiots.

  • @cougar6988 Don't worry about the idiots. Words to live by. Thank you.

  • That was mightily endearing! Welcome to the internet.

  • Do you watch Wilfred? I always thought that show was full of song-worthy stuff. 

  • @MyEverConstantSmile Not yet! I'll check it out. It looks brilliant.

  • Oh and also, the more you talk in videos, the more comfortable you get. At first, it's difficult to talk to a camera lense. It just looks like the damn thing is staring at you, never blinking, never looking away. After a while though, it becomes second nature. Check my talking video out, and you'll see. (i used to have more but deleted them). Also remember that you don't always need to get things correct first time around, because you can always edit :)

  • @whielyex very well said. that's certainly encouraging. this first one was a bit daunting but i hope if i choose to make more talking videos that i'll be a bit better. i appreciate what you said. thanks

  • @Cossbysweater The first one always is haha, its like "what the hell do I actually say? I know I want to talk about this, this, and this.. but what do I actually say??!!?." I remember my first video I posted about 5-6 years ago... I prepared so much haha, I rehearsed and everything and I was like "ok, lets do this!" I then turned the camera on and started recording... everything I prepared?? NUP.. mental blank..

  • Camera shy? your much better than i ever was looking into a camera haha

  • Song idea:

    How hard it is for you (or anyone) to get a sentence correct, when being filmed haha. That was funny to watch! Glad to meet you :)

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry to read about the car accident :\ glad you're ok! Thanks for the welcome, looking forward to more videos from you. Take all the time you need to make a video though, no need to rush things :)

  • @Palanor thank you very very much. I recorded this a week ago but couldn't stand the thought of posting it. i was lucky in many ways regarding the accident. in addition to surviving, i have gained some important perspectives and have chipped away at some insecurities i had. thank you.

  • @Cossbysweater Someone as obviously fantastic as you should have no insecurities. Your problem should be controlling a massive EGO!

  • aww you seem so awkward :P Talk about your life ooorr about the awesome collection you have behind you :)

  • You're just as bad as I am at talking! Perhaps a quick song about shyness?

  • @devilinisepic i think that's a great idea. thank you.
