Title: Opinions on talking during modding videos
Post by: MobiusStripTech on 01/27/2017, 08:42 PM
I have a number of consoles here that I plan on filming while I mod them to put on YouTube. The trouble I find is that it's not very quiet where I work on consoles. So I had the thought of either dubbing speech over top of the videos or just using subtitles. The alternative is having lots of background noise. I would appreciate opinions. Also if I did subtitles I would overlay with music, most likely Arkhans music.

Most console mods take like, what, an hour? And the interesting stuff can easily be compressed to like...4 minutes. Therefore I suggest you film the whole process and record the four minutes of monologue later.

I appreciate the opinion. That is kind of what I was leaning towards.

Definitely dub for the final mix.

Definitely paint your fingernails.

Definitely adopt an "angry" persona and yell throughout your video.

Definitely call the series "X-Treme Modification Mayhem: Full Metal Iron"

You are welcome.

I'd suggest dubbing, too. Plus, cut away all the boring inbetween crap and condense the video to what's really important. Most people have a short lifespan of a few minutes before they fall asleep. If you ever want to exceed the ten minutes mark, make sure to get some excitement in there. There are only a few Youtube show hosts who are able to keep their audience watching half an hour long videos.

You mean just like AvE does?

Thanks for all the input. Even if I did speak during the videos I would cut away most of the nonsense. Or at least speed up monotonous parts. But it sounds like dubbing is the way to go.

The Angry Video Game Repair Nerd, I would watch it.

Definitely dub it as I doubt people like listening to wind chimes.

stephen hawking the instructions over the video.  Don't sit and deepthroat a mic while working.

Nobody wants to hear heavy breathing/grunting/noises

unless they're watching porn.

I made a video for the Hi-Def NES prep work. Let me know what you guys think. I just used subtitles instead of talking, but I did record talking the entire time, which turned out so so.
