Thank you for the tips and i agree with your opinions. I could use some work on my enunciation. Could you tell me what you mean by camera control. Sorry, i dont recognize the term. I dont have many solo commentary videos because i find it boring to make and boring to watch something like a simple minecraft lets play. I plan on doing tips and tricks videos in the future. As far as my "um"s, i have been diagnosed tourette's syndrome which causes "tics". I dont have severe Tourettes but it causes me to involuntarily do things. I also close my eyes tightly when i blink and jerk my head to the right. This doesnt happen constantly but it is the cause of me saying um. In severe cases of Tourettes Syndrome the person will involuntarily curse (yes, i mean say cuss words) at any point in time. I dont have this, but i do say um frequently. I try my best to not do this. Again thanks for the tips. Ive seen you around the forum and it is nice of you to give constructive criticism to people.
Cya Around!
PS: Still looking!
Camera Control is how much movement the 'viewer' sees in the screen, generally speaking, while you don't want to 'minimize' it all the time, you generally want to minimize it while talking, and then accentuate movement when 'making a point' (using a sword or their fist to swing towards a mentioned object is also part of this, you'll see other youtubers do).
Lack of Solo Commentary is fine, though it is less common to push up as a group commentator (compare the number of groups like GameGrumps or DontPressStart - vs the number of solo creators - that grow large)
As for Tourettes, that's understandable - Coprolalia (compulsive swearing) isn't necessarily a more 'severe' case, so much as an alternate manifestation of it (and actually Coprolalia/Copropraxia/Coprographia are also symptoms of disorders other than Tourettes, despite there being the common association with it - can be anything from Stroke to severe psychological dysfunction). As for the use of the "um", many of them didn't strike me as from a disorder, as they fall into 'moment of thought' timing (as opposed to inappropriate timing). During conversation, the use of "um" is actually normal process to say "I'm still on this thought, please don't interrupt me" - this is the reason why it sticks out so much when people create content, because the viewers can't interrupt, and it's a subconscious reaction to be bothered by it (same reason people are bothered by it in public speeches)
