" Number one is going to drivin'." Pretty awkward. He seems nice, though. The background chill out music was odd. Shrug emoji here

Also I would advise you not to beg for subscriptions and likes. I think it is awkward when chanels do that. I listen to a lot of ASOIAF theory chanels. My second favorite always begs for subscriptions. Drives me crazy. My favorite chanel never asks for that sort of thing. Preston Jacobs! My fave! That's just my hand full of change... get it? Cause normally you would say " that's just my two cents," but I am so long winded..

People are super harsh, man. Sorry about that. I would recommend scripting out what you want to say a little more and rehearse a bit beforehand. The editing was there, but a guy rambling to a camera tends to still feel a lot like a guy rambling to a camera even with editing.

Also, I would change the background. I know at least one of the guys commenting is totally blind, so he was basing his assessment on sound alone, but for people with sight the setting is off.

You sitting on your bed makes you seem like a little kid... or maybe like an amateur exhibitionist? Idk none of that is the vibe you want to be going for. Sit at a desk. Or angle the camera so you can't tell that you are sitting on your bed.

I think the content of you blog was alright. I have blindness to look forward to and some of the things you mentioned were things I hadn't thought about, like filling out forms. I just think your execution could benefit from some polishing.

Also it would be good to add a little intro, why are you talking about those things in particular. Give the audience a little context, tell them a little story.

Anywho, do watchya want. Take or leave the advice. You seem like a sweetheart. I hope the advice can help you with your chanel. :)
