I started up a channel for vids, like Andsy decided to go for some critique.
click me

Things I didn't like about it, was I kept falling over my words and my voice was too ---------- not varied enough. Sounded boring.

Anything is really appreciated, you all seem in the know :)

Apologies if I come across as sexist, I don't mean to be crude :|

But ya, your voice was fine. As you're a girl and the gaming community is predominantly male, I don't think you're going to have an issue with keeping the viewers attention. Your voice is clear, coherent and I didn't recall any stuttering / mess ups. If it does bother you, stick to the age old saying:

Plan your work. Work your plan.

Write a short script, just a guideline to keep you on track, helps you avoid missing key-points you wanted to discuss.

As for the 'boring' voice, I completely disagree. It seemed natural, and your accent is :wub:. Ahahah. If it does bother you, check out the classicgameroom reviews. I believe their youtube is: inecomCompany. His voice is hilariously monotonous. It's absolutely beautiful.

One problem I have is engaging the camera directly, something you do really well. I have a big issue with eye contact in real life, and the camera is no exception. Guess I should be taking my own advice. :$

Anyway, keep up the great work :)
VSigma100: If I've learned anything on here it's that Andsy is a crazy bastard. LOL.

Keep up the good work, these sort of things get better the more you do them. I enjoyed it though, just as mentioned above, plan, make notes, even make a basic or simplified script if you have to. Most of all though just stuck at it!
