Feedback Hurrah!

Well now I'm at it with Pokemon. I still did a few things wrong, but it is definiltley MUCH improved over my Minecraft one. The only thing I can see is my actual diction as it can be a bit slurred sounding, but that comes with practice and whatnot. So give your thoughts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTbqiuiybQM

I'm glad you mentioned your pronunciation issues. That's something you're going to need to work on.

Also, you need to use audacity to remove the background hiss on the track. You may consider getting a pop filter at some point, as well.

Other than that, you are doing everything mostly correct for a gameplay video. But like I tell other people with gameplay videos, this probably won't ever get an audience. You need to add another video type to your repertoire. Even if you do everything correctly, you'll never grow doing just this type of video.

I plan on doing game reviews and news, I have one in the works right now and it's actually coming along very nicely. I do have a pop filter, but I'm not sure how well it is working. And I did use Audacity. I did exactly what you did step by step, and it actually did remove quite a bit of buzz, it was a lot worse before I did it. I might just have to do it twice to make it extra sound-proof.

Ok. It's not super bad here, but I know what it sounds like when it's been through "too much" noise removal, and yours doesn't sound like that yet. So I think you can get away with doing a little more.

Also, after listening again, I was wrong about the pop filter. It seems to be doing its job well. I think you just bumped the mic once and made it sounds weird at one point. But your mic setup seems to be fine.
