Jamie, thanks for doing this vlog......it was great to get guidance and identify where I am on script writing.....its really handy to have nice clear 6 bullet points to follow for my next step in development on TH-cam!
Much love on this video. Great content. However, I gotta level with you, your mic placement just doesn't work. It's so distracting I wanna click off. Get it up and outta frame, or drop it to the usual spot. Apart from that, excellent work.
Agreed. Surprisingly distracting, and yet so easily fixed too! Personally I also prefer it when the interviewer and interviewee are looking into the camera rather than being sat at an angle... otherwise it feels like I'm not a part of the conversation. Especially as the other guy was looking in to his camera, so it felt like he was talking directly to me.
@@JamieWhiffen Actually I'm planning to create a channel soon (I will notify you here after publishing my first video), and you just teach me use my audience NAME in comments' reply. So Useful, Thanks So Much AGAIN.
What do I really think about this video? I found it through researching script writing and found it to be excellent in all aspects, pace, content as well as delivery techniques. An all round great video. I will certainly be saving it for future reference as I have a lot to learn from this........ Just a thought, it would be an amazing and an interesting project to adopt a very small niche subject channel and conduct a step by step guide on how to pull it round. Thank you for making and sharing this content.
As someone watches a lot of videos, there was two ways I subscribed, one of the youtubers gives drawing lessons and he says in the beggining of the video something like "all of this for free? no, all I ask is a like and a subscribe" it made me think "wow yeah this is really good concentet for free". The other one was the diary of a CEO where he tell us that most of his viewrs arent subscribed. So one of those times I did ;)
Hey, just to give an example of a CTA working, I've been watching the TH-camr Lathland for Years now an he plays very niche videogames, mostly builders of some kind, ever since he started making massive hour and a half long videos (movies as he calls them) his views shot up. The whole pitch is that he plays a whole playthrough of an extremely hard Game (From the Depths) which thakes 10-20 hours and cuts it down a lot. After about 10 minutes of the video he does a 1-2 minute long CTA which works well. He is very niche and has a very loyal and long lasting fanbase
Thanks, very useful, please lower or remove the background music, very distracting got to point had to leave. Good information and nice interview though 👍
This video is useful but it’s painfully slow. I recommend speeding up the clips 10%-15% faster in post, as long as it doesn’t look obvious you sped it up or sound bad (pitch changes). Simple tweak to keep your audience more engaged.
I definitely forget to like videos/subscribe even when I’m enjoying it (probably especially when I’m enjoying it) because I’m focused on the content and not about their channel doing well and when someone DOES say something I’m really like…wait this video is giving me value, it’s their best video yet or whatever it may be and I like it. I’d say an animated graphic reminds me too. However, for smaller channels when you can tell they’re passionate and really want your like, because they genuinely want their channel to do better, it makes me feel more inclined to like because I see their drive/passion. You can tell when someone wants it in an almost desperate way and I have a higher chance of liking it when I see their drive/passion or even a need for their channel to do well.
I’d also add I go out of my way now to like/subscribe more now that I create videos myself, however before creating videos and as a viewer, I never thought about it when I’m enjoying a video. I’m enjoying it and not thinking about liking/subscribing. I used to only subscribe if I was afraid I wouldn’t find their channel again.
Thank you for a great video which gives me many take aways. I am having trouble remembering what to say, if i only rely on bullet points, and as you mention if it is all scripted, it is not the way i usually talk. Any advice for an ADHD'er like myself, who is struggling to remember the script, without a teleprompter and fully written lines ?
Section your video into 5 or 10 minute sessions of recording. Read your script aloud before each session multiple times, imagine the camera is an actually a person that is particularly easy for you to talk to. Then put the script down, record the session without worrying about how it’s delivered. It will take longer to record, but after many videos you’ll get more comfortable with your own recorded voice, with the camera, and with being on camera. Note I haven’t started yet, it’s a tip I got from another TH-cam personality the other day that I plan on trying.
Thank you for this important video. Appreciate if you could change the background music seeing that the guest is very calm himself. I found myself drifting often when I really want to concentrate but I can’t help it.
I loved this interview and how it was edited with all the visuals and stuff. I think this video will help me a lot for my YT journey. Thx a lot! Cheers, Daniel.
Dude, interviewee knows his stuff, but this piano music background was a really poor option which has nothing to do with the theme and distracts the hell out of the audience
I agree. 100%. Piano is a percussive instrument and the note placement interferes with the spoken words, giving a version of stuttering, and it’s incredibly distracting. I’ve had to stop, back up, and go forward again too many times, and eventually I just lose the message, which is followed by losing interest. I do appreciate the information, but I’m not going to fight the interference of the piano for it.
The music is painful and this script writer isn't very compelling as a speaker/ performer so it's hard to pay attention to this one and stick with it. I'm trying to learn but struggling a lot with this music

i really appreciate kevin de bruyne taking time of his schedule to teach us about script writing
Really?? 😂
This is valuable! Thank you so much. Just at the very beginning of my journey here and grateful for knowledge like this.

I actually found the audio from Jamie to be lower quality, Im sure moving the mic will help that too
I gotta level with you. Who gives a phuck
love the value here! thanks 🙏🏽
So Useful, Thanks So Much.
You're welcome Amir!

another hit, Jamie. Scriptwriter content for the win!😊
awesome video man, thanks so much for all this free value! Also really clean thumbnail, I'm a sucker for blue and yellow complimentary colours
@@joshuashediak Yellow and Purple are complimentary colours. Blue and Orange are complimentary colours.

This high quality video deserves more views.

bullet points is about as far as I got in writing a script and it was very effective!

Great advice, thank you
Beau is stellar!!!! An inspiration for my content…. Minus the running…
The video quality of this podcast is pretty good. What platform are you using to create this podcast?

Yeah the music is awful

This is really good advice! I have been doing a ton of research as I’m interested/in the process of starting a channel.
Thank you so much for sharing
Glad it was helpful, Gwilym is fantastic at what he does.
very informative thanks
I am just starting to TH-cam. so this is really helpful for me
As I'm new to TH-cam, this was great info!
If you had to learn scripting and writing again…what would you study? Read? Thanks
so, so good man!

This guy could send me to sleep in the middle of the day, I don’t know if that’s intended or what 😂

Jamie, thanks a lot for this video. I watched it from beginning to end.
Note: maybe it's just me, but I could have done without the music.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure to not use any music next time!
You’re saying not to say like and or subscribe, but if you say it; the thumbs up button or subscribe button glows with a little rainbow outline.
That's true but would you *really* subscribe because a TH-camr said it and a little button glowed? Probably not.
The music is painful and this script writer isn't very compelling as a speaker/ performer so it's hard to pay attention to this one and stick with it. I'm trying to learn but struggling a lot with this music
I’m sleeping also
😐 I hadn’t noticed the music until I saw your comment.

He looks and talks like Kevin de bruyne from Man City 😂
