I think you should be more natural. It feels too "rehearsed".

[cherubicwindigo]

@311fob A few people have mentioned this but I beg this question: how does one do a news show without rehearsing? I have to research the topics I want to discuss and then make sure I stay within the 2-minute limit I've set. The feeling I'm going for is a semi-pro news-type show. I haven't seemed to master the news anchor voice quite yet but that would sound even more "rehearsed". It's a puzzle for sure.

Great stuff, but your mic was picking up ambient echo, and you felt a tad too scripted. Scripted is something I can expect on television with specific time to fill, but here, you've got ten minutes (does that still apply to non donators?) and I know you won't struggle to fill it. Talk about your topics on a personal level, like how excited you are for Reach (if at all :P) for example. Great stuff, hope to see more :D

[cherubicwindigo]

@TheGamerUH8 1) I don't use a mic, I can't really find a reason to spend money on my channel when it's just a hobby. 2) The majority of the YT people I watch have scripted episodes, it's a bit hard to do a "news" type show without a script. 3) I still plan to do free-form videos with 10 minutes of my invaluable opinion ^_^

Reach is worth being broke for the next 2 weeks. yes, keep doing news. I imagine you doing a style like ultraneko. ever heard?

[cherubicwindigo]

@ErtomicV She was a gamer YouTuber but took her channel down after some unfounded rumors. I never saw her show but I do understand her wanting to quit after being hassled. I'd like to think I am more thick-skinned than that, I plan to do this channel for a while no matter what anyone says. ^_^

[GODSDARKFIST]

i liked nerdy news, keep it up

[turtlebuttmudd]

Technosexuals? lol.

I think that you should make them all 2 minutes regardless, so if its not jam packed, at least you have room the stretch and allow it to feel more natural.

Also, for the camera angles idea, maybe you could experiment with doing every shot in a different location?

That a little complicated though, because of proper lighting and sound quality.

On another note, I also love that outfit =x

@idiocy25 At one point I feel like I was "racing" to the end, a camera angle change would help break it up. Thanks ^_^
