It's my latest commentary and it's been a while since I made one. I'm a noobie, and what keeps me back from making new commentaries ever so often is what to talk about -.- So, please check it out =)

[TheSkullkruncher12]

I like to do commentary while I play CoD. I will say stuff like "Woah. He killed me with guerilla warfare tactics. Shitting dick nipples"

[iGame360fficial]

The commentaries I have uploaded are all live.

[Versatile94]

[MartyZiinema]

you wanna be a better commentator? don't talk so damn fast! you talk clearly and all that, but damn you're talking too fast xD

[07duncan17]

Lots of people on tv use typoe graph or whatever there called, they don't sound like their reading but they are or more taking from really well written notes. Bullet point topics, and I think most the problem people are have is getting used to looking at a camera and talking to it like its a person, Big Hurdle, think of the camera as a friend and not just a camera & you in a empty room, yes pretend time and you gotta sell it! Then vwalla friends & haters will pop up on u'r post.....

?\:)

[D3uceMakina]

@07duncan17 its a teleprompter

[07duncan17]

@D3uceMakina Ya thanks, telaprompter. They were showing bloopers the other day in regards to a new video game release and the one guy who was part of the development team was supossed to talk about portion of the game then an othere person tell a part of the game and so on. But 1 guy kept screwing up he had to turn & referance his notes, after 3 mess ups he asked for a "Telaprompter", things local news companys use too. I forgot the name. Thanks

[BoCAbOyBLuE]

Not hating or anything but in everyones videos they say how to get big its always oh you have to be creative and well you have to have an appealing channel even if you do that ( i dont make vids but ik others that do) most likely nothing is going to happen. And even getting into a big clan like optic not hating, yeah of course you have to be good and bring something new to the table, not hating but its also somewhat luck meeting optic members. Anyway your vids are awsome :D

[BEEYATCH704]

When I was majoring in Communications my argumentative class helped me. We had to do a lot of researching and debate about it in front of the class.

[oliman1995]

you are shit.

[Z1Studios]

Midnite, don't listen to that wmberserk dude. Your one of my favorite commentaters because your not one of those people who are like

AIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS. IM A GIRL MOTHERFUCKING GAMER WITH BIG TITS AND SHIT BRO IM IN OPTIC AND BRO I TALK LIKE IM BLACK

Your just a normal person who does good commentaries.

[ZamoraForEngland]

"I don't think I'm the best at commentary's but I do think I'm good at public speaking."

I'm pretty sure there the same thing..

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@ZamoraForEngland Speaking in front of tens to hundreds of people is MUCH different than recording my voice over some gameplay. Comepletely different.

[ZamoraForEngland]

@ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT It's not completely different in the sense you talk to the public, If anything its easier doing commentaries and you can redo etc. There's not that much difference.

[CookieMonster8408]

1:08 lol i love it haha nice ring a ring a rosey 

[ThaRumbler]

u play with JEWEL???

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@ThaRumbler Almost every day!

[MrGoodcrapgaming]

[CookieMonster8408]

@MrGoodcrapgaming well i bet shes alot more "known" than you so dont go hating on somebody thats trying to help YOU out. :/

[theXBOXragers]

WANNA PLAY ZOMBIES WITH ME



[Bobstahr]

Are you a boy or a girl? :L

[camcolerul1]

a gamebattles tip...dont use the raffica, the stock of the gun goes above your head and makes you an easier target..use glocks or pp2000

[KAoSILLuZionZ1995]

what does FMGB mean?

[KAoSILLuZionZ1995]

omg midnite u actually played runescape? i thought that was some big joke or something lol. i like u even more now that i know u used to play runescape :) x

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@KAoSILLuZionZ1995 I don't play runescape.

[KAoSILLuZionZ1995]

@ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT well if u dont play runescape then start playing it ^.^

[xiCoNoRLFCix]

@ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT lol

[MrRiboo]

black ops pls

[Mw2mastaa]

HOw do you post a video response? lmfao

[Mw2mastaa]

Hey guys, go check out this commentator hes awesome but doesnt get as many views as he should!!

/watch?v=yg7LvLUlJPw

[MrJlumanji]

confidence is boss.

[wmberserk]

lmao, dont get conceited because a bunch of virgins following your commentaries. you're horrible.

wingsofredemption is better than you, lets just leave it at that.

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@wmberserk Maybe next time some constructive criticism on WHY I'm horrible would be more helpful. I'm only trying to get better here. I said in this commentary I'm not the best. No need to be a dick.

[NeSXeroZz]

@wmberserk Your talking trash and saying that somone's better than somone else but she's more known than you or your friend. Why even go to her video just to trash talk. Pointless, you give her a view and your commenting on her video and pretty sure you've checked her comments so that's even more views. So my advice don't cry on youtube <3

[wmberserk]

@NeSXeroZz looool you dont even know who wingsofredemption is? damn, i dont even pay that much attention to the cod community but even i know who he is. get your shit straight, hes way more popular(not implying i like him) than this slut, you're a faggot, bye.

[x115Gaming]

@wmberserk thats why your watching her video...

[darkhors3gaming]

yeah i think you have become my favorite commentator midnite. but id like you even more if you were in the kitchen! hehe...kidding...<3

[SlushyKK47]

i prefer ur other intro ashley. love ur vids btw:)!

[TheSystemZx]

Sorry but... what does Predator's OG stand for?

[RulezzEditing]

@TheSystemZx optic gaming

[TheSystemZx]

@RulezzEditing oh...

[DrTixaR]

Midnite: Best commentator EU? No way! World wide! <3!!! :D Hope you watch my video response

[ViBEGamingx]

@DrTixaR of course not in EU, you mean NA......

[DrTixaR]

@DrTixaR LoL Yeah hahaahah

[BryannaFTW]

[JuicyLobes]

[maniackiller0]

[thaproffesah]

[TBRHfilms]

@Peyboese19 u fuckin fight me if u have a problem u cunt

[Peyboese19]

i like your last intro better

[tweed11x]

Ashley, over all of youtube (in my eyes) you are the one connects the most with your fans, and i think that is why sooo many people press that subscribe/favorite/like button every time you put out a new video. Your such an inspiration not only to youtubers but to gamers in general. Soo i would like to thank you for posting videos each and every week. :D

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@tweed11x Thank you so much :D

[draconcrazy]

@tweed11x Nope shanedawson does

[Liljoe0213]

[YsGaming]

[LMCLUPE]

[Jixell]

[stonepost34]

I just uploaded a video response under my youtube channel account, but have personally been subscribed to you for over a year...thanks for watching...cheers...STONE

[baddass4ever]

Optic Pred was very bad at commentaries before, he was very nervous. :P

But he has improved lots.

[n111cky]

post the video where they read off the page! thatd be hilarious

[ghostfaceteen14]

Cool Video Ashley!

and very helpful tips

[OpForza]

Nice tips, but those people that ask will probably realise that there's no special secret or anything it's all kinda obvious if you observe what successful commentators do

[hellothorns]

Look at Sixtieths going even, what a NUB.

[Intelects]

Thanks for the help i posted a video response

[conwizzlo717]

Midnite, is it completely necessary to do dual comms for my channel to grow? I'm not myself around people I haven't talked to before, which is why I don't really want to do them, since it will give people the wrong impression. What do you think?

[MrAden1997]

can u do a dualtage with jewel

[TehTNM]

nice vid great help



[Allwillburn1]

I <3 the Class Names. Especially the last one. ;)

[linger163]

Check out MileniaDragons

[RiOTSxiNFAM0U5x]

Like OMG I Got A Twitter . Turns Me On :p

[SantiagoTZ]

Every video you make makes you sexier x_x Soooo helpful and cool.

[BroooksyBearx]

Your first commentary is amazing :DD

[TooMuchFlashing]

Did you make this video partly because of OpTic ShanGUNS Twitter Questions Answered when someone asked how to get known being a commentator on youtube?

[BroooksyBearx]

Jewel! She is beutiful and has a lovely voice!

[cbfd234]

Lol'd @ OpTic wannabe.

[littlekillab]

Good vid

[freakyboy147]

@ProEddites Yeah i kinda figured that out a couple of hours ago.

[dlabel73]

Thanks Good Video

[ChangsGaming]

Nice vid Thanks For The Tips....

[759jes]

you dont come on runescape much no more =(

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@759jes I don't play runescape. Someone goes on there and pretends to be me.

[captgetto27]

@ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT lol i made that mistake once :D

[Thiiz]

@759jes runescape is gay

[759jes]

@Thiiz listion here faggot im not like you where i jizz over cod i play it but i dont no life shit i perfer to play a few games not just 1 come on now talk more shit over the net

[Thiiz]

@759jes Neither do i.... But you play runescape. And it's gay. And im not talking shit, idiot. I was stating my opinion. Fucking dipshit

[DrBradlol]

I know you said not to read off of a manuscript, but what is your opinion on creating an outline, putting it in front of you and developing your commentary around that?

[MsArtemis01]

@DrBradlol Yeah I have to do an outline or my mind just wonders. I can talk about the game play then talk about puppies the next second. Once I do more commentaries I won't need an outline but I got a long way to go for that. All you can do is practice.

[Ten4uCorrea]

sexy C.C. !!!

[darkhors3gaming]

Another helpful tip. talk about penises.

[KilaMonst3R]

u should do a lobby?

[MrCJones98]

[VlLAS3RZlV00]

12a.m I enjoy your vids, really do but not to be a troll or ass or anything but....this video is really pointless.

Seriously PLEASE do think about why I would say this. 

[ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT]

@VlLAS3RZlV00 How is it pointless if I'm getting hundreds of messages a week about this subject?

[wlammey13]

@ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT moppy is really a man

[enterprises01]

@ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT how come every video someone says something like this video is so stupid or they say how stupid they think the thing is your talking about. midnite i love all your videos these people just hate and no one really knows why IMO.

[SiickMoNsTa]

@VlLAS3RZlV00 @ThrtLvlMIDN1GHT HURT! Can you cover How increase your skill at Call of Duty or other First-Person shooters?

[JSWoodhams]

@VlLAS3RZlV00 - PARRED/

[TheDTHustla]

@VlLAS3RZlV00 gt pwned?

[NancyAintGrizzXD]
