I listen to a lot of music and watch a ton of movies. I often find myself with a lot to think about and a***yze with no one to sh aare my opinions with. Anyone got any tips for starting a channel?

press that b**** nigga Fantano

research your topic
learn how to use editing software
talk about unique s***

also share it on here

dont sell out

basically sums it up. Also good to have a good vocabulary so you can sound good

if ud rather do a channel instead of a blog or podcast, then your visuals will be just as important as what you're saying

and just be honest w ur opinion, be urself

its so many channels and folks that say opinions they don't have just to appeal to a crowd

Whats not to like about him? He always seemed like a cool guy to me.

I was joking

Don’t give up

Dont be an overly dramatic person or play up your reactions for things unless its actually that good. That can get exhausting to watch as a viewer and is taxing on yourself as well.
And of course. Make sure your videos are worth listening to and that youre saying something of value worth hearing, beyond just your surface level opinion. Avoid using filler language which is saying something is "good" or "bad" in 5 different ways without elaborating on it, or explaining it in ways that are lazy and dull to listen to. You need to have substance.
And at that, try not to stress too hard about it. Approach is as a hobby, even if youre pursuing a career for it. And dont rush through the video or say stuff like "sorry for explaining that" or "to put it shortly..." or the like. People are watching thr video because they care about your opinion and want to hear what you have to say, so dont shy away from being vocal.

Probably a longish post but Im a person who really enjoys reviews so I always watch a lot and those are a few things that stand out to me.

So was I

you should start a review review channel

Dont

I would really like to and Ive thought about it a lot but got a lot of side projects going on right now. Thanks though

As far as visuials, what do you like to see in review videos?

Be consistent about your work, it takes time to build a following. Every successful YouTuber wouldn’t be where they are if they were inconsistent with their work. Being yourself is important too, there’s going to be an audience that naturally gravitates towards your style of commentating and they will prefer you vs other people. You may want to listen to tracks like several times and you’ll probably want to watch a movie twice. You probably want to start the off with a script where you read certain points you wanna talk about throughout your review to avoid being the person who always goes “ummm.......and like......and uhhhhhhh.....sorta like.......” all that pausing will have folks lose interest if the commentating isn’t flushed out and coherent.

A YT channel?

Will it jut be you? Will you have guests? A co-anchor?

What is the format? Will you discuss one movie/album per video? Or do a video a week about everything you watched/heard that week?

You need to sit down, get a sheet of paper and a pen, and brainstorm an outline of everything you want to do

a lot of people like to see the person talking to them, makes it more intimate - dead end hip hop does this well as though you're part of a conversation

but there's no 'textbook' approach i guess, u can be really creative and unique with it

e.g. my favourite reviewer is dunkey and he has no facecam.

while he's really articulate, half the time he's not making his points directly - instead it's through witty visual comedy, or just letting what he's talking about speak for itself

he mostly does games but some movies as well, either way i could easily see this kind of style lend itself to reviews for any medium

if you're going to do it, try to get a solid backlog of content so you can stay consistent even if things come up in your life. Out of all the youtube channels I have seen grow, consistency was the biggest player in their growth

this is one of my favourite examples, it's just 5 minutes

it could be funny as f*** if done right, probably a golden idea

If it's movies assume people watching your reviews have already seen the movie. Too many movie review/analysis channels paraphrase the movie or give some really obvious commentary.
