Hey folks, I'm somewhat apprehensive but excited to announce that I'm going to launch a Youtube channel in anticipation of Fallout 4. Leading up to the game's release, it'll be a weekly series I'm calling "Get Hype!", just sharing thoughts on what's excited me and other fans about the new game. There may be some other videos sprinkled in separate from that, but when the game hits, I'll be sharing almost exclusively gameplay (probably with commentary). Hopefully it gets off the ground and I have the time after the semester starts to keep it going.
Obviously, the more support, the better, but as a totally new Youtuber, any tips or suggestion you can share are invaluable (particularly if you're a Youtube veteran)! The channel is here and if the intro video isn't up today, I'll have it up on Friday. Either way, I'll post here with another announcement.
Thanks! Hope to see you in the comments

Liked and subbed, looking forward to more. A couple tips you might consider (if you haven't already):
Thanks a lot, Teccam, I'm glad you liked it
I highly recommend scripting your videos. It'll cut down on "uhs" and "ums", enhance pacing/flow, and allow you to be concise, direct, and informative. These are all things people look for, whether they realize it consciously or not.
I'll definitely be scripting in the future. I rerecorded so many segments so many times to try to cut back my pauses and "ums" and definitely want to avoid that in the future.
If you can justify spending some money, a desktop/PC mic is a really good investment. Even form around $50, you can get a massive improvement compared to your built-in webcam mic. And if you can squeeze more like $100-125, you can get some truly fantastic stuff. Also look into audio editing software. Doesn't have to be anything fancy; Audacity has some great options that can make a nice difference with minimal time/effort, and it's free too.
I was actually more concerned about the camera, but I do want better audio as well, and I'll have my ear to the ground for camera/mic deals.
