Ive wanted to be a gaming youtuber sense i was a kid but i realized im pretty boring and i dont have anything interesting to say, im also not sure if ill stick with it like most do, but i want to try anyways. Ive condierd playing without voice but that would be even more boring and im not a pro gamer to say.
What would you advise?
I heard from one of the old big names of the space, AntVenom, way back when. The most important part is enjoying doing it, and I mean every part of it. You have to enjoy sitting there, talking to yourself while you play. You have to enjoy video editing. You have to enjoy collaborating with other content creators and putting a focus on making it interesting to watch more than interesting to play. If you don’t enjoy the process, you don’t actually want to do it. You want something you think you will get from it, and you won’t last.
Just pretend and give it a try. Use free (as in price) software for the first run. Play a game, something you were already interested in and just spout off to an empty room about whatever comes to mind, because that’s basically the gig. Then edit it down. This might take much, much longer than the recording. Regardless of whether you upload it or not, you get a taste. If you actually enjoy the process (not imagining what it might lead to, but the actual process) do it.
