Since you've been doing VEDA, and there's been so much of your content readily available on my home page, you've slowly become one of my favourite youtubers, just putting that out there.
5 words: precious actor bean, good heart also thank you for answering my question !!! i do hope your vivid memory was a real memory because it would be an awful shame if it wasn't
Hearing you say "mainly because I don't deserve that" actually broke my heart a little. I might be reading way too much into this, but you have worked so hard for everything and you deserve every bit of recognition and every single fan you've gained along the way. If someone cries when they meet you, it's because they're finally meeting someone who makes them so so happy. And if you make people that happy, you deserve everything in the world.
as Ben Brown said, "remember to work hard, be nice to people and try not to get lost or killed." I love yours as well, "go forth and be a good egg!" Is that replete with merch? Five words to describe DJL: Sultry, bright, humorous, erudite ponderer.
Your hair tho! 5 ways i'd describe you(and this is just a general observation): - clever sarcastic charming funny british - theater/film nerd (so you know he has great tastes and amazing voice and acting talent) - he's quite domestic? he bakes, he helps you make furniture, etc (this automatically adds like 100 points) - caring,soft mother hen, kind of great friend, probably gives great hugs - and of course, handsome like honestly tho
DAN!!! Your videos make my day and I'm loving you doing Veda - I love your sense of humour and you, along with your little TH-cam community (hazel, sammy, etc) inspire me to actually do something about my passion for films. Keep doing what you're doing tysm xxxx
I got to go backstage at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and honestly, the set and costumes were incredible. I don't know if it's that all shows are done in such detail but wow, the effort that went into all the props and moving sets... just fab.
You in five words: "Baking or acting? Either's amazing" I adore everything you've done so far on VEDA and that you've done a variety of video styles. I hope you keep uploading a little more frequently post VEDA ❤
So even when your videos came out few and far between I'd get excited to watch it because you've got such a lovely take on things and have a great sense of humour. Now you're doing VEDA and I'm loving it so much more. Keep it up please it's great!
honestly Dan everytime i watch your chatty videos I end up just subconsciously responding to everything you say as if it's a conversation. 'Yeah' 'I know' 'I agree'
warm, honest, charming, incredible friend. thank YOU and your youtube friend group for giving me a place to go on the internet where i feel warm and happy and safe but also creatively and intellectually fed.
THANK YOU FOR DOING VEDA.I'm on holiday and your videos define the day occasionally and really I just love your stuff, I think you and Bertie are each forging out your own brilliant paths in vlogging so keep at it
i dont think that there should be a stigma around doing q and as i really enjoy them and many others do. the "disclaimer" at the beginning was unnecessary, the videos which show creaters as humans who need a break every once in a while are an awakening i guess i really enjoy that. this might be rambly but ive thought this about many peoples q and a videos and the unnecessary disclaimer that is always present beforehand. thats a weight lifted. tatty bye
Just wanted to say, I love you VEDA videos! I'm really enjoying this increase in content... they're always so interesting and funny. Good for you Daniel! Keep it up :)
If you're a fan, you're part of the fandom, even if you're the fan sat in the corner away from all the other fans. All fans are great, whether you're a mainstream or a sideline :)
Five words: Awe-inspiringly passionate, kind man - so strange seeing parts of myself (ironically not the aspects listed above) in someone else, oddly lovely x
I tweeted you a few weeks ago asking, if i should see Get Out, because i hate horror and i am SO GLAD that you encouraged me, because that movie was GOOD. It also helped me realize things about myself, like how i am not scared of gore but it is the unknown that scares me. Because i went with my friend, who LOVES horror films a lot and torwards the 3rd act she was freaking out, meanwhile i was feeling giddy. So thank you, it truly was a good movie to GET OUT of bed for....I'll let myself out.
Five words; He's the new Hugh Grant. Seriously though, it's scary how well you fit that role. I will write a full sequel to Love Actually and cast you as Hugh Grant's brother at this rate.
Daniel J. Layton live streams are great when done properly. It's one on the reasons I think DnP are still relevant. They save casual chatty stuff for live streams and therefore their main channel content is *generally* pretty streamlined. I think it's a great balance. I'd definitely watch if you ever decide to do it 👍🏻
honestly chess doesn't get the credit it deserves. i was in a club the other day that played a dance remix of one night in bangkok and it was such a glorious moment
Dan! I'm a pretty new subscriber, and I do not know how I hadn't discovered you until recently! Your videos are amazing, and Veda is killing ittt (aka me, but in the best possible way). Thank you for being so amazing; you seem so genuine and it's fantastic.
Thank you very very much Daniel for existing and i lowkey wish all of my uni friends could be like you but instead I'm getting drunk every Wednesday love uuuuuuu
im with you on charlie and the factory! i saw it on the west end and i was just sad about how un-catchy the music was. the original movie was so lovely and well balanced in relation to the book. sets were still great though
I disliked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the point that I got hit by a car 2 weeks later (I'm fine this was a while ago!) and I have memory loss for about a month running up the accident. However I do remember how much I disliked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 👌I think they've changed it a bit for Broadway so it could do significantly better over in the states. Edit: I also saw Shakespeare's signature the same day as Charlie and can only remember being really excited, so apparently I only remember extreme feelings haha
I just got back from seeing Pippen and when I opened my youtube feed and saw you and thought. "You know what? Dan would make a good Pippen". idk just a thought.
I agree 100% with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - there were great elements like the scenery, but I felt a lot of the songs were missing something special, and the one song that I think is great (Juicy) was let down by the fact that there wasn't really any dancing or movement at all going on. Loving VEDA so far!!
You'd make a great Phantom! I'd love to see a cover of 'Music of the Night' from you. I was in a production of Phantom a few months ago playing Madame Giry and it was honestly an incredible experience!
HA u did build p much everything in my flat yeh
You're welcome.
daniel j layton in 5 words: satire with a dramatic twist
I'll do you one better and do four words: "Deserves more roles, honestly."

DANIEL J LAYTON IN 5 WORDS: Baking with Layton also wrestling

Can I be the Colin Firth to you Hugh Grant?
Answer: Yes. Let's fight in a fountain.
Since you've been doing VEDA, and there's been so much of your content readily available on my home page, you've slowly become one of my favourite youtubers, just putting that out there.
+Gen Moum yaaaaaay!
Fucking hell wasn't expecting that. Cool. Dope. Nice. I'm fine.
Gen Moum okay literally same i just started watching him and i love him and he's always popping up and yes so good new fav

five words: daniel. j. layton. actor. good.
edit: and oh my GODS i want to see you as valjean
5 words: Flamboyant actor who sings lots.
And so proud of you for making it half way through VEDA! You got this!
And I completely agree with you about Bertie's vlogs/films! Huge fan!
Thats so fucking weird i said charlie and the chocolate factory in my head as you said it. I felt like i was controlling you for a second 😂
5 words: precious actor bean, good heart
also thank you for answering my question !!! i do hope your vivid memory was a real memory because it would be an awful shame if it wasn't
Hearing you say "mainly because I don't deserve that" actually broke my heart a little.

as Ben Brown said, "remember to work hard, be nice to people and try not to get lost or killed." I love yours as well, "go forth and be a good egg!" Is that replete with merch? Five words to describe DJL: Sultry, bright, humorous, erudite ponderer.
Your hair tho!
5 ways i'd describe you(and this is just a general observation):
- clever sarcastic charming funny british
- theater/film nerd (so you know he has great tastes and amazing voice and acting talent)
- he's quite domestic? he bakes, he helps you make furniture, etc (this automatically adds like 100 points)
- caring,soft mother hen, kind of great friend, probably gives great hugs
- and of course, handsome

so I'll finish this then watch the rest of dodies amazing video
i'd go with "right, so he's not gay"
Go forth and be a good egg is such a bloody good motto I am feeling this
I read the title as Hallway Q&A and I was rather confused as to why your hallway was so large.
DAN!!! Your videos make my day and I'm loving you doing Veda - I love your sense of humour and you, along with your little TH-cam community (hazel, sammy, etc) inspire me to actually do something about my passion for films. Keep doing what you're doing tysm xxxx
literally so torn between this video and Dodie's, uploading within a minute of each other AHHH
Honest, Genuine, Loyal, Hilarious & Talented.
ugh now i really want an avocado toast. eating because im bored will be the death of me.
I got to go backstage at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and honestly, the set and costumes were incredible. I don't know if it's that all shows are done in such detail but wow, the effort that went into all the props and moving sets... just fab.
You in 5 words: "New discovery, pretty fucking cool". Cause I've only been subscribed to you for a couple of weeks but I'm immensely enjoying VEDA

Five words: Intellectual, witty, actor, charismatic, charming.

I like to not take myself too seriously and laugh at how low effort a Q&A is, but I do rather enjoy putting these together!

Really wished this was longer. Have you thought about doing live streams?
I have indeed! I'm very intrigued by the prospect.
Daniel J. Layton live streams are great when done properly. It's one on the reasons I think DnP are still relevant. They save casual chatty stuff for live streams and therefore their main channel content is *generally* pretty streamlined. I think it's a great balance. I'd definitely watch if you ever decide to do it 👍🏻
I think you are the only TH-camr that makes me laugh

Dan! I'm a pretty new subscriber, and I do not know how I hadn't discovered you until recently! Your videos are amazing, and Veda is killing ittt (aka me, but in the best possible way). Thank you for being so amazing; you seem so genuine and it's fantastic.

im with you on charlie and the factory! i saw it on the west end and i was just sad about how un-catchy the music was. the original movie was so lovely and well balanced in relation to the book. sets were still great though
The feeling when Dan answered your question :')
5 words - Daniel J. Layton, good egg.
I disliked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the point that I got hit by a car 2 weeks later (I'm fine this was a while ago!) and I have memory loss for about a month running up the accident. However I do remember how much I disliked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 👌I think they've changed it a bit for Broadway so it could do significantly better over in the states.

"Holy Hell that hair tho!"
your five words mate.
I just got back from seeing Pippen and when I opened my youtube feed and saw you and thought. "You know what? Dan would make a good Pippen". idk just a thought.
I agree 100% with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - there were great elements like the scenery, but I felt a lot of the songs were missing something special, and the one song that I think is great (Juicy) was let down by the fact that there wasn't really any dancing or movement at all going on.

You'd make a great Phantom! I'd love to see a cover of 'Music of the Night' from you. I was in a production of Phantom a few months ago playing Madame Giry and it was honestly an incredible experience!
