Your title said review, but it was an unboxing. 2) Determine who your audience is. Then figure out what your audience wants to hear. Are you trying to convince young people to buy vinyl? 3) Either work extemporaneously or not. I do unboxing videos and I have things I put into the videos in order to keep a recurring theme: I get a beer out of my fridge, I show a few records I've picked up, etc. I also show the vinyl itself, and not just the record in a sleeve. I have no idea if people are enjoying my unboxing videos, I put them there because it was requested of me. So, I do it and have fun with it. I did get a good comment on YouTube once...so there's that. 4) LOOK LIKE YOU'RE HAVING FUN. It looks like you're doing an oral report and didn't prepare. 5) If you're going to be doing videos of long established albums like Dark Side of the Moon, you shouldn't have any editing, any ums or urs...rehearse it before hand. SPEAK LOUDLY and clearly. 6) Have a point. It didn't seem like there was much of a point to the video. 7) Do many of them before you start trying to get people to watch them. It takes time to develop a style and you don't have one. Your video is not going to garner repeated viewership. Just because you make a video, it doesn't mean you have to publish it. Do practice videos of every record you have. Figure out what you're trying to get across and learn to get that across. You're coming at this like he's doing a serious review and failing. It's really just mocking people who do vinyl reviews. bridley and TGSNick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Realizing now that the review is supposed to be a joke do you want us to comment on your comedy? it should probably be funny if it is intended to be a joke. You can be quiet if that is your style but you still have to be articulate and audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I've noticed similar savagery in kickstarter threads, but that was somewhat understable. This is more personal, which surprised me.

It was suspect (particularly the replacement music, the sign running out of post-it notes and the general awkwardness). As with all things on the internet and the current generation, you can never tell for sure. Metal Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people with big mouths and small talent - all given a platform. Metal Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Well now we're just being trolled. Oh well. I'm'a get back to work. I did like the second rate aspects of the video, but good satire it was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, not funny when rehearsed/pre-planned and not funny or witty on the spot. 2/2 would ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This guy is ok, Liam Pickford is much better IMO "There's this bloke on the circuit who wears a papier-mâché dolphin mask and does fish puns. Someone shouted 'They're mammals!' at him. It's funny, informative and scientifically accurate. I don't really remember any putdowns as I'm too busy being a cuddly northern funster. I once ran at a heckler with a bin in Liverpool. That did the trick and gave people a thing to put rubbish in, which was nice for them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
