Hey /his/
I'm starting to make videos on lesser-known wars in my spare-time. This is the first one and I wanted to know what you guys thought about it.
I'd also like to know if any experts or people willing to narrate would like to hop on board and help with this side project of mine
Also - Let's discuss Prussia and the Wars of German Unification

good

Could do with a bit better choice of opening music, but you've got a nice voice, and get to the point well. It also ends fairly abruptly, perhaps have a longer fade to black once you finish speaking? Other than that, I'd love to see more videos on Prussia from you.

Unfortunately, it isn't my voice. Someone else is narrating. However, we are going to use a multitude of narrators
Will take that into account, threw this together in just a few hours yesterday, rendered it after making the channel and intro and outros today

so you are a group?
are you going to turn into a right version of John "MUH MONGOLS" Green?

Yes, I hate history with a ITS 2015-lens that you see from Leftie Green.
However, I do the editing, writing, and compiling - I just have friends or other people narrate. Occasionally I may narrate
It'd be nice if you went into a bit more detail.
On a technical level, think about getting a pop filter. You don't necessarily need a super expensive mic, but a pop filter could go a long way towards making your stuff sound a little more professional.
You could also maybe tighten your intro a little. The stock footage is nice but it's a little overly long.
I can also tell you recorded in order, maybe in one or two goes. Your cadence and diction gets better as the video goes along. You start off a little dry and awkward, but later you start to get some emotion in your voice and I feel like I can tell you really are passionate about what you're talking about. Consider re-listening and re-recording where necessary, like you would an essay.
If you did laboriously edit and re-edit your audio, consider listening to other popular historians, especially those on well-received podcasts. No, you don't have to be as over-the-top as a Dan Carlin (please don't try, we don't need any more of him. He's like Tom Leykis of history podcasts), but the affability of a voice like Mike Duncan can go a long way to making your material more palatable.
Otherwise, video editing is tight and the material is great for a first go. Keep up the good work, man. I've subbed so I look forward to more obscure war talk.

Also, just read the thread. Pass on all that info to whoever does do the audio. It should help them.
>>351420
Will do.
Also, I didn't edit / re-edit the audio - That narration was one file from one person through vocaroo.
Also, it isn't me whose talking, it's another person who decided to narrate the script.
