subscribe to my channel all you want but it's not going to work instead ask us to review a specific video on your channel oh man hey guys this person's channel is free it's free to subscribe really yeah i've never heard of that i've been paying for so many channels lately well i mean steven over here paying youtube red so i don't know that's a plus that it's free it's all about the mobile right now yeah it's so nice so we're going to do a channel that we haven't done this genre i don't think it is tcv beats trap beats and instrumentals i don't believe we've done a music channel lately okay sweet so mix things up a little bit let me add him to the only thing i have to say about this channel currently before it loads is it's a trap all right so now that it's in the featured channels that wait how do i save what am i doing hello control s like is this your first stream right click save us jpeg no it doesn't work like that png transparency out of channel automatically save once i type in there it did wow that's incredible i didn't even have does it i didn't even click save oh all right here once i got a shout out to work now there's a bone in the way hijacking my stream all right which video do we want to check out do you guys have the link yeah i got it yes um we could watch the just this first one here let's do it instrumental for rick ross mmg wait okay are we doing the rick ross one is that the first one the rick the featured ones i had one yeah i had the feature one okay we'll do a feature there we go okay the trap instrumental forever as you guys can tell we're super organized today i gave them a whole five seconds to prep i just got done eating and now i'm thirsty so i might get some water but well i like this center thing yeah i don't listen to too many i don't listen to music that much of this genre for in particular i listen to a lot of i listen to a lot of music on youtube but you know dubstep trap i listen to some chill step even and i always like it we're on the video they have something moving with sound waves yeah the equalizer yeah i just have always thought that was a great thing to kind of add to any sort of music video like this uh huh yeah it gives you something more to look at and i think it really actually enhances the music when it you know works well with whatever's happening i mean it's like popping and moving according to the actual music i can't really go to the music itself right now because i don't listen to this genre too much but the the way for thing is it's all mathematics and after after effects so it does it according to waveforms yeah so once you set up the java then it does the rest for you is this a template would any of you know if this was a template waveform or if this was his it's probably the script is based off a template for sure i would assume that it's a template just kiss i don't know i mean maybe this person's incredibly artistic talented it just seems usually a lot of people that are good with music or i mean that's what they're doing is making music not after effects but so either way you have your your actual tcd in the middle here and that's kind of the important part so with these things it's kind of cool because in after effects you apply this like mathematical equation to the waveforms and it makes it visual on the screen and then you can warp it how you want and apply it to your video so whether it's a template or not it's all the same script that goes into the waveform generator what is it sound keys uh-huh rap code sound keys i just use that yeah that's another option it does it for me so yeah i'm lazy and i'm not good at math um but the music i think is cool and yeah i'm enjoying it if you make it royalty free then i think you'd have a lot more option even if it was paid royalty free you could start building upon that and you could start doing more with that and start like building a business around this because if this was all hundred percent your work which it seems like it is it's not like the parody one like i saw earlier we're uh using samples from other people but there's a lot of opportunity for people that are talented and stuff like this i just tried to click on your facebook link and it apparently is broken so that is something to fix um i gotta make sure all your links are functional i made it to his facebook not from the channel let me see if the channel one works yeah the one the description doesn't work yeah the one the description doesn't work yeah the one in the description doesn't work i was kind of looking out of here i wanted to know um one thing i'll say with the channel like this um he wants to know what royalty free is um do you want to go for that or do you want um you can i feel like you have a slightly better understanding to be honest so um because that's important yeah so if you make your own content hundred percent yours this is good for any youtuber watching this is good for everything um youtubers need music that is not copyrighted so that they can profit off their videos and use work from other people that they have permission to use so by providing royalty free music you can have other youtubers from all over the world use your music in their videos and then credit you and that would be like the in return for the royalty free and then you get promotion from all over the world and you can grow this platform so much quicker and then you could do paid commissions and have paid royalty free stuff that you don't copyright you know someone gives you a hundred bucks or a thousand dollars or whatever to make a custom track and then it's theirs to work with and you don't give it to anyone else so if you have this talent you have this ability you can start building a really awesome business off this so you can look at royalty free sites like epidemic sound or audio micro or even in kompa tech they all have royalty free stuff there that anyone can use just by signing up for the site or something like that so this is something i think you could do a lot with i think i want to add to that is i feel like a lot of times people approach youtube kind of in the wrong way they think i want to start making this music on youtube and then i'm going to sell it people are going to come to my channel watch it and buy the track straight from here where that could happen i don't feel like that's a good way to approach youtube youtube is a great way to build a following and you get work in profit from that so by making your tracks royalty free and kind of by going into that avenue you'll have a much easier time building a following and then you make money based on commissions like one commission someone approaches you says hey i found your music like i want to use it on my channel i really like it i give you and then i like i've been using this track i want another one to give you a hundred bucks to that that money right there is probably more you're going to make than all of the people trying to buy your tracks individually oh yeah so you want to i feel like approach youtube is that youtube is a platform to build a following so that you can make money through other aspects and other avenues this is for any like the intro you're making any sort of thing that you want to sell off of youtube it's better to approach it like that in most scenarios yeah definitely um your music is really good i mean if you're making this i only listen to one track but i mean i know we've reviewed a whole lot of channels that would benefit from something like this definitely yeah i i don't listen to a lot of trap i can't really comment much on the genre itself he listens to country oh yeah country and class it does have a banjo in it he won't listen to it but i do i like the track it is very uh it kind of reminds me more of i don't know i guess sort of that style of like like slow motion walking down a sidewalk with all your friends something that you'd see in like a movie or some kind of actual production yeah it's not like a background gameplay yeah thing exactly which is good i mean there's a huge market for that even definitely now um go ahead i was gonna say the only other things i'm looking at your other videos i haven't listened to them but i would if you're going to make videos and spend the time doing so i would focus on making original content if you can because that's really what's going to benefit you i'm not short rick ross times mmg times lil wane i'm really not sure if that's like an original track you made for them or if that's a i don't know if these are copies or i mean i would have to listen they could have all given him permission to um use their content it's possible doesn't seem likely yeah but it's possible i suppose i mean but like if you're gonna do the time to do this original tracks are kind of what's going to um encourage other people to contact you and try and get some of your music now two things i want to point out real quick as a video aspect as like the entertainment value watching um your video actually stops the one that we're reviewing at three minutes and fifty seconds because that's when the audio track stops but the video keeps on going till five minutes now that's going to really hurt your watch time because no one's going to sit there and just watch well i've actually seen it happen but typically they're going to shut off the video instead of watch the extra two minutes of nothing to see if anything else happens or they might skim through it or something and that hurts your watch time which hurts your rank which hurts a lot of different things so keep an eye out for that and make sure that you're actually cropping the end of your video where the end of the song is not where the end of the template is and then lastly with these videos i've seen people take it like an extra step and do like uh out of focus moving background or something to give it more to look at in just the waveforms so if you want to start building on that maybe try and think of a way to take it a little bit further but on the the most part music wise and what we see here i don't think it's bad i think you're on the right track um also if it was an accident like seriously i just saw him say that was an accident um like take it down and redo it or youtube even hasn't in yeah i'd better say don't they have the editor yeah where you can just chop off the end like my friend he was working with uh an artist who flagged all of his videos because they like broke apart so all of his outros were flagged for a third party so he took the youtube editor and just cropped h and every single video cropping off the end so it still had the same videos the same comments and everything and he was able to chop off the ending and not have to take down his videos that was the last thing i wanted to say on this though um get an outro not only do you don't want the extra time but i'm not sure if you're more recent ones do you have one but people if people like your video you want to especially with music redirect them to more tracks redirect them to more of your stuff and like an outro is the perfect way to do that because after they're watching this towards the end of the music they might like flip back on because normally they might not watch the video all the way through kind of have it on the background they'll switch back to video at the end of it they'll see an outro and it will be like hey check out this shot on the track or hey try this or hey here's my facebook or i don't know you want to redirect them somewhere but i'm just letting the video just end yeah hey uh steven tell matt to get off the internet you're starting to go robotic oh am i um gotcha all right hold up one second let me go yell at him hey get off facebook all right facebook will do that he he doesn't have the best hitter no i'm pretty sure that they're like they're both watching movies or something all right so i have the next channel so i'll go ahead and leave that in chat here i like to comment said he's always here watching for advice and i like that aspect because instead of getting here to get your channel critiqued you can apply everyone's channel's information to what we're talking about in your video so you know you can watch the like how it wasn't in all caps watch my videos okay hey yeah so i'm gonna add him to the description now so now that should be all right oh here we go minecraft there you go mike this is your forte are you in your world now you love minecraft we'll just watch the latest video how about that right so first off it's 720p and pocket edition wait so oh so this is like a phone or tablet or something so that's cool oh oh this is pocket edition survival and oh wow i didn't even notice that hey i don't know apparently that's what the title says that's kind of cool oh i guess i kind of see it yeah i mean obviously the screen looks like it it's really clean yeah yeah it is when he gets back you could see the on-screen buttons and stuff i didn't know they were this advanced in pocket edition oh yeah no they've got they've come a ways last time they were introducing sheep but last time i played they were introducing dirt blocks okay well yeah it took him a bit but um yeah i think mike's like fear back wanting to like lose my life for a while hold up i'm watching this what are these the words on the blocks here is this for his channel he's playing an adventure map so this is like the rules of the adventure map or something like that yeah so right now that would have been the coolest thing if it was like my facebook if you put your facebook and your twitter stuff and all of that like all the links you want to put in the video i want a minecraft block to look at that would be on an outro slate yeah like you could click the signs and go to the different pages i saw links and i couldn't tell like wait is that you saw his link is so what is that what you think you saw links links yeah like okay yeah 40 seconds through like the first minute of the video yeah i see it gameplay all right so first off you're like automatically at a what's the word i'm looking for it's it's gonna be harder for you to produce the top notch quality because you're working on a mobile device so first seeing that you're already recording an hd and there's no like watermark recorded with power pocket cam recorder right you know it's like whatever i see that's just people doing it just because they feel like they have to do it but this actually looks like you're legitimately trying and you're getting there now that being said the next step you already got the visuals down the next steps to get your audio clear um let me have a listen real quick because it's it's not the worst audio i've ever heard but it could be improved a lot um keep in mind the music should be significantly lower than your voice and right now they're about even i think um you're both quiet so it's okay for the music to be quiet but you need to be like booming over top of it like this is your video this is what it's about this is what people are here to see they're here to see you and you want to make sure that's heard so whether that's improving your mic or bumping the gain or getting the microphone closer to you there's a lot of options to get your microphone sounding more crisp and clear and like never be afraid to actually just like unleash on a video everyone i feel like sometimes they think they need to be quiet or they feel the need to be reserved but it's like you know i just saw bunnies in the first thing i thought was bunnies like oh my god i like bunnies i know i was surprised when i saw bunnies too i was like why oh my god i love bunnies like i would have done that like if i was gaming that would have been my first natural reaction i'm just still impressed they have adventure maps on i know hey that was cool start throwing in some like swipe edits and sound effects and he's actually taking time with this because normally they like when i see people do pocket cam or pocket uh pocket edition minecraft it's normally a direct upload they don't do any editing he's doing transitions and music and everything i don't really know how you would clean up on a phone are you recording the audio as you play on your phone because that could be difficult well if you get like a really crisp clear audio you could jump over it well if he's editing later he could just have like uh like a little handy mic on his table recording to that or something you don't need a full desk set up recording to your computer you could just have a little pocket recorder like let me see here one sec so this guy right here is an h1 handy recorder i don't know how much they run now give me one sec let's see so they're about $80 so it's not too much but they have really good sounding audio and you can set on a tripod right in front of wherever you're playing and you can get really nice audio and then when you're recording and doing your editing later you can get something like this or a cheaper version or anything and you can get really crisp audio and get it right up close so you can have that nice bass in your voice and get out of here everything that way you won't be hello everyone yeah welcome back to pocket edition you're in my pocket how is it you're in my pocket well anyways guys that's it and you're going back in my pocket bye bye and then it dims to black i don't know i'd watch that yeah i mean another thing i have to say about this channel though is like i was noticing that a lot of your videos they have only like a couple views um some of them even i mean according to my screen they have like some of them even have zero and they're still like you're putting a lot of time into this and actually i always admire that because i think so many people they make like one maybe two videos it doesn't get any views and then they quit and it's like well they're not really passionate about it they don't actually if you're really passionate about you'll still go and you'll keep going obviously you want more views but i appreciate the fact that you haven't just like stopped giving up and your videos are still quality you're watching the most recent upload um so yeah which was 13 hours ago and you're uploading quite frequently as far as i remember i need to go back and check but like you're spending a lot of time on these videos i mean i couldn't even imagine editing like a pocket edition video into like yeah compatible like this is a really good video uh so it's the little extra things of where to put your effort that i think will kind of really take this off but i just want to say like i respect that in you um but so like investing in a mic for example gonna be a big one i think that would be a game changer yeah would be a microphone balance out the audio it's like 70 i think yeah um of like what you would need to do to actually get other people engage in watching because it's not just buying a microphone it's also like making sure that your voice is leading full time i mean you're actually doing a pretty good job of like having reactions you open a door you're like oh what's this um you're talking pretty consistently but you definitely want your voice to carry it like this video has to be yours yeah step one get a mic step two learn how to use the mic and then step three yeah you know don't just don't just buy a microphone plug it in and then go okay problem solved do definitely take time to use it learn how to use it learn what it sounds like oh yeah you don't just want to you might end up with something even worse yeah i've had this mic for a few months now and i'm still learning how to get it to sound good like one day it's perfect and the next one sounds like i recorded on my butt it's like how'd that happen what it's it's it's a bit fickle yeah yeah because i have to change it every time like i get in the skype call it to boost all my levels and i get in something else and change it back i can't just leave it it's i know this completely this is completely off topic but with this microphone i found it sucks for like chatting with friends but it's amazing for production like recording so you're saying i need a skype mic and then i yes i have debated doing that so many times getting another little tiny crappy microphone to talk with my friends just so that i'm at a decent audio volume yeah and then using this for other things but yeah i honestly i think this is this channel has potential and you're in a unique i'm i am genuinely surprised it only has 55 subs and such little views because there is a lot of effort that's going into this and especially pocket edition being something that you know there are damn a lot of minecraft channels out there and this does have enough originality to it um i see you've also got the minecraft story mode on here too which i'm sure is a pretty popular topic right now i think part four came out or something and you even have an outro slate although it's only lasting well i think five seconds here i might have made it a little longer but you even have an outro slate that has the previous video clip playing um lastly just always make sure to link those things so that people want to click on it yeah um yeah but like you got a lot of good stuff going for you here and the videos are very short too which is a good size they're concise a lot of times the videos are like 40 minutes long and it's like wow here's my train everyone welcome jim to the party i don't hear it yet oh well i have it on voice activation for you guys but for the stream they can hear everything okay all right so yeah uh in conclusion this the first pocket edition minecraft that i've actually liked like i thought it was good quality that's the first i've seen one that was good quality like it if you didn't know any better you'd think it was pc i will see i don't know if you chose to do pocket edition just for that reason or if you actually have a computer to run it off of i don't know what the situation is but i definitely think this channel is a good example of making good use out of what you have to work with um yeah and it's a unique niche so that's another thing yeah all right guys it's time for another one we are going to do the magical dealer now we're now everyone's just gonna everyone's gonna start posting comments hey uh advice of taking your advice yeah but i would i would appreciate if you guys could critique my channel i really like an outside opinion about my content okay so that's straightforward yeah i i think that's fair enough so one of the things that the dealer definitely caught me yeah oh god okay right um yes okay audio quality times a million that's the first thing i'm just gonna just throw out on which video are you watching the but oh my the featured one that came up out yes i understand that was like oh yeah okay yeah oh my um but since this is such a great feat i can't conquer it i'll let i'll let mike give his opinion here because yeah on august 29 yeah i mean you have all the energy and the enthusiasm to have like yeah like you even had like a creative mean thrown in there yeah yeah so it's all there but you're really being hindered right now from your audio quality um like if you look at your views here you're getting decent views and decent ratings and let's see all about comments yeah you have a decent amount of comments i mean it's not doing bad but there's a certain level yet you're not going to be able to surpass until you change your quality like i've seen some big youtubers that have some bad quality mics but they still do well because it's still like you know but they could do so much better if they improve their overall quality well this like this level sounds as if i don't know it's like the audio was recorded and then it was the gain was turned up too much and then it clipped and then you normalized it and then you turned it down i don't know it sounds like it's clipping a lot yeah what's so what's interesting to me is i'm still laughing at some points through this video but it's hard because i think you edited it really well yeah there's actually like like you know like um Steve Carell was thrown in there yeah it's an enjoyable video it's definitely done like the video is good i think that's why you're getting still the view count on it but if the mic was if the mic was good if the mic was really awesome i feel like that view count and the watch time was at the very least double yeah it's like because i'm honestly having a hard time like watching this whole thing and i have to turn the walling way down it's very scratchy now in the middle the voice changes it's a girl he said poison made yeah because it looks like there's three people that were oh yeah yeah i mean really it's it's there minus the audio yeah you have the energy of it like an actual like gaming channel yeah um you're you're doing everything right here yeah but if you just fix that mic there's so many cheap condenser mics you could buy like you can't my first one i bought went on to sale the other day for like twenty five dollars and i use that i use that for years here with me yeah but no like take my mic sorry to pay for that i went and i mowed three lawns in my neighborhood i just knocked on doors i said hey i'll mow your lawn for ten bucks and i did that i went door to door i didn't have a job i have money but i wanted to get a new microphone so i knocked on door to door mowed people's lawns went and bought a microphone so it's not tough to get a good microphone it's just you have to actually try so i mean you could be five years old knock on a door and someone would be like oh you're so cute here's ten dollars just just act like you're bowing okay goodbye and then you know it's it's not hard to do it anyone that wants to make it happen can make it happen so i'd recommend going out either fixing your audio setting so it's not scratchy like that and maybe turn down your volume and then record it then do the normalize and stuff so it's not peaking or if that's just your microphone quality then invest in a thirty dollar mic if you don't have money or if you have money get a hundred dollar mic for christmas or you know just do a little stuff here and there to bump your overall quality if you did that i could see your channel really taking off if it has that energy that extra effort put into it to make it funny so it's not just you just you don't just sit down and record for 15 mentions they are that's it by it's uh there's editing involved there's comedy involved you're working with other people so yeah yeah it's definitely worth trying to get the mic but after that i feel like i'm your channel is pretty awesome yeah and i really enjoyed this video and if i like i could tell by your energy that your other videos are also gonna be um pretty good definitely you have a very your voice is very projecting and that's good you just you don't want to hinder it with the quality like that yeah that's every not every gaming channel has to be like this but personally in my personal preference because this is how i am too if i were to make a video i would be loud energetic and i want to carry the audience not just a video with my voice like like three seconds of hearing my voice they should be like i'm excited about this video and like some people have a natural talent for that others have to learn how to do that either way it's possible for everyone you don't necessarily need to have that there is no one way to do it but in my opinion it's very very helpful and you definitely seem to have a very natural ability uh stage presence even oh yeah to do that so that's awesome you know about stage presence i would know about stage presence stage presence oh i spoke on stage for a living for a very long time that's another like i guess simile imagine if you did motivational speaking but your voice is like scratchy the whole time it's like it'd be you know i have done case studies on this upon case studies and heard so many different types of speakers who have soft voices who have not so energetic stage presence and blah blah blah and i've still heard some of the most amazing speeches i've ever heard from other people are from people who are very quiet you don't need a loud voice you don't need a super energetic voice you just need to know how to use the voice that you have now when it comes to like they may have specific audiences that like them more like for me i like speaking to youth and youth generally respond really well to high energy and that sort of voice and so like this youtube channel let's be really you're gaming you're doing minecraft the people that are watching are most likely going to be in the youth category anywhere from 10 years old 20 years old but you know somewhere around there is most likely going to be your your primary demographic and generally speaking especially when it comes to youtube so much more on stage having that energy and speaking like that is really something that's going to carry the video because your voice is the number one thing that will carry the video not the video itself though that's just for any any person out there whether you have a gaming channel or a non gaming channel you have to realize that your voice is the thing that's going to carry the video a lot and it's going to inspire the initial feelings that you want your viewer to have the first five seconds in the first five minutes yep definitely yes may the voice be beautiful when the comments are saying use the voice very very well said steven i agree with you thank you i'm i'm very particulate about my audio so yes i am a strong believer that voice can carry a lot yep uh reaver asked i believe that's what the name was i lost it scrolled past but uh yeah something reaver i saw in the comments that just scrolled past i lost it but asked how we pick the videos there it is reverse and pie so how do we find the channels do you guys leave the comments of what video you want us to check out in particular and then we bring up the channel and we watch the video so anyone that wants a critique just leave a comment let us know and we will filter out the spam and find people that legitimately want critiques i apologize but if your name starts with reaver all i can think about is firefly and i will not i'm scared of you though just i'm scared of you i i don't know you but i'm terrified so omg it's guppy your back your every single stream yeah and and you got here early this time i'm so proud of you listen i would love to critique you but we need to get to new people that haven't been featured yet so i see go ahead i see a lot of people who are like hey i was here two weeks ago three weeks ago you viewed my channel i made some of the changes that you're saying um if we have the option then we're probably going to pick someone that we haven't reviewed yet just because we want to be able to get to as many people as possible so we we would love to spend more time on you guys um and but we we want to prioritize channels that we haven't actually maybe one week we can senpai so i apologize for making fun of your name you have senpai at the end of it i appreciate you still yeah maybe one week we could do like a channel's revisited or something but people get so upset because we can't get to their channel and they've been here week after week trying to get in so those are the type of channels that we're trying to feature so no offense to you we love your videos and we'll watch them afterwards all right so next one is tech genius all righty then like i said i've been here for two years he says please critique my channel i would like to hear what you think about my channel from someone else's perspective awesome well that's someone else well while i might be someone else while i update this i it's really important to take other people's opinions and thoughts and stuff because like you could think you're the best channel in the world but if no one's watching you have to take people's advice people's you know their their thoughts into consideration and the way you grow is by hearing what other people think so you know you can't just say like hey check out my video it's like what do you think of my audio like i like it but what do you think as an outside person or what do you think of my quality so you have to really take these things into consideration as you're growing your channel yeah so yeah which video making they're making your youtube channel because you like doing youtube sure but it's for your audience hey we're watching this one top three best microphones for youtube under $50 send me a link i lost link no i i actually got it straight from the chat here all right all right so i just looked up tech genius to be fair so since we were talking about it a moment ago we're gonna do top three best microphones for youtube under $50 hey there we go perfect follow-up video i know right we just talked about a last video that you get good video or good microphones for under 50 bucks so beautiful all right so first of all there's the intros you left steven yep i noticed i was yeah upset intro i don't i don't know that that intro really screams tech review to me but yeah so actually i'm really confused because we're watching gameplay you're doing one of the vlogs where you have call of duty gameplay your gun is shaped like a christmas tree or color at least like that i like the candy cane gun yeah yeah it's the candy cane i like the graphics over top of it though how you've learned it out you put in the text like the top three pro mics for youtube at 10 seconds today i'll be going over uh yes i see yeah i like how you did that that was pretty good if you have a gaming channel or a beauty channel which funny enough the first microphone he mentioned is the one that everyone was saying in chat when we were talking um telling the magical dealer that he wanted he should get a mic everyone is like you should get the blue snowball yeah the first mic that's on here so would that be apparently there's a consensus yeah that's a pretty decent mic i i'm very as i said i'm a very big stickler for audio quality microphones i absolutely despise the yeti but yeah i i've never mind i've never had a problem with the snowball for the price the first thing yeah it was the first mic i had and i think it did a really good job but i think comparatively to any other microphone out there around the same price it just doesn't keep up the snowball so yeah or at least from my experience i if you can find it a good price i mean they kind of uh the ones i always saw were like 75 dollars for a snowball and that was stupid if it's under 50 i don't think that's bad yeah um no i i found a couple i mean at one point there i was finding snowballs for 30 dollars or so yeah in winter that's fantastic yeah this may be more of a personal critique more than anything but i mean i see top three best microphones for youtube you know under 50 dollars in the video you should really have like really good microphone quality and your microphone isn't bad at all but my personal preference is it's a little bit a little bit uh why it's one of those background mics and you kind of have that sort of voice which again you have to learn how to use it personally though if you know your theme of the video is top three best microphones it's not the gameplay the gameplay is actually just kind of distracting from that it's kind of filler you really want to highlight you know i'm speaking on a good microphone i have the credentials to talk about this and so i would kind of maybe play around with audio levels a little bit to kind of really highlight the mic that you're using yeah now the channel name is tech genius it's not called duty awesome player that likes tech it's um it's tech genius so when i clicked on this channel i expected to see like a full-on review like so guys this is the blue snowball this is how it sounds here's what it looks like and then the next up we have this one here's what this one looks like this one it sounds like i don't have a problem with the call of duty gameplay and all that but yeah no i'm yeah i'm with mike i expected the video to start up and it was you with a camera with all three microphones sitting there on a table or something going all right i'm going to show you guys this we're going to do some tests we're going to do sound samples you know that's yeah that's what this channel sounds like to me now if your channel is a gameplay channel which it doesn't seem like this i haven't watched all your videos but i think you need to kind of figure out what you're going to do and what your videos are about like i'm gonna kind of skim through the other ones and see if it's all okay it looks like it's all gameplay so you know maybe if you change your name to like the cod guru or something like that like something so it still has gameplay in that way it's justified but when you're saying tech genius you're expecting like tech and let's say you were doing this video maybe you could have started out like playing it and then showcase the blue snowball and then showcase the at 2020 and then or the 2000 or whatever the cheap one is and then showcase zoom h1 handy recorder and record doing your gameplay with these different mics that way you could showcase these different ones and it's understandable that you probably may not be able to afford all those microphones to showcase but i mean you've got almost 3000 subs you get a decent amount of views you know i wouldn't be surprised if you could try to get some contacts set up some sponsorships i mean that's that's an entire plausible thing and it would really make the quality of your videos a lot higher than just call of duty gameplay in the background yeah all you have to do this video does sound to me i don't know i might be wrong the video sounds like it's recorded on the snowball this video i'll be mainly focusing on that that sounds like a snowball to me i feel like it would make well it would make sense considering it was the first mic he mentioned yeah but i mean i guess again that's kind of the thing is if you're doing what mic said if you're doing a video that showcasing microphone quality you do kind of want to come on and or no that wasn't mic those steven i don't know both of you together you're the same person now and if it is in fact recorded on the snowball right now mention it because people want to know like you could say that it sounds good all day but if your recording sounds like butter if it sounds really good or whatever and you know it's it's not actually showcasing that mic if you have it and you're recording on it and then you say it's good and it sounds good it's like wow it does sound good remember people like you have to tell them why you have the credentials for the video you can't just like put it together and expect them to say oh yeah no he has tea because he's the one i should listen to when it comes to the top three best mics like you gotta give a little bit more reason for someone to trust you on that yeah and also i know it can be scary for a lot of people and it's a lot of channels that i've seen while doing these reviews so actually get on and show your face on like a vlog or like on a review so it's easy just to throw gameplay on top of it like you can do that that is definitely an aspect but don't be afraid to try to kind of play around and like what happens if i put the camera on my face today and do this review with me yeah like you know maybe you're concerned about the way that you look maybe you don't think you'll have a good personality to do so but give it a try i feel like it's definitely worth trying like mess around with it the first video you do probably is not going to be the best but people actually like seeing people talk like the gameplay is an aspect of things you can do it but don't be afraid to kind of put yourself out there and make nerd references and you know bring your unicorn or something as long as you use it to further the video though i can't tell you how many times i see people that do face cam that just sit there and they stare and they don't do anything they're playing the game and they're eating a bowl of Cheerios Cheerios that's like all right Cheerios i was thinking cereal and Cheerios kind of mixed up but yeah it's like you know you use the webcam yeah use the webcam to further the viewer's experience whether it's talk to them like make eye contact with them or like steven saying using props and stuff like that or actually show the snowball and that being said if you want microphones to review for the top three best microphones on youtube or whatever just throw them an email say hey i have this channel i have a million views i'm looking to showcase your mic because i believe it's one of the top three best microphones for entry-level youtubers and they're like wow really yeah here's one to check out and here's an extra one to give away to your audience it's like that's a hundred bucks for them for a video that they'd have to go spend ten thousand dollars for with a professional company and then it's titled the best microphone on youtube that's good SEO for them that's going to get views that's going to promote them that helps them and it helps you so i don't i don't mean to cut the short but i actually i realized looking at the time right now and uh i have two channels that i would actually like to review and take i want to kind of notice it as we were talking about it first one is a reaver senpai uh i want to because i you know i kept commenting on your name i actually checked out your channel i was like hey this is interesting and the first thing i thought was otaku king so you had me there okay um so you guys have a link let me link it right now so in conclusion while you're linking that the channel i think is a good idea i think you need to solidify your branding and understand what you're going to be if it's a tech channel make it a tech channel if it's a game channel make it a game channel if it's a game channel with tech on the side make it a game channel with tech on the side so right now it's it's branded as this like hardcore tech channel it doesn't say anything about gaming so it's kind of misleading when you see a call of duty slapped in your face yeah it's kind of like if if they're a youtube channel that had what logitech branding on it or something and then every single video they did a review on some new gaming device thing they had and then randomly they have a minecraft video on there it just it doesn't make much sense for them to do that yeah so i think you're headed in the right direction just give it a little bit more thoughts all right all right reaver senpai is there a specific video you want us to check out otherwise i'm going to choose unfitness drunk anime talk i'm honestly kind of curious because i want to know if this is from a specific anime that i may or may not have seen or okay the thing is the first thing i will notice and although i love you just for the fact that you like anime i have to point out i'm very confused about what your channel is about as i go to your videos here i see so many different genres i see some weird like is that a vlog thing just a funny video about life and there's a gaming thing there's an anime thing he does love spaghetti though he does love spaghetti i'm very sad to see that you have a five nights freddy's video and nowhere on here you have a five nights in anime video that's very disappointing to me you need to get right on that go play five nights in anime i don't even know that's a thing so personally yeah it is definitely good and it's overall it's easier to have a youtube channel that's very niche and only has one genre because people can come to you they'll subscribe to watch that type of video um i believe that you can kind of play around with that a little bit kind of test those limits for example if i were to create a channel like this i'm i would like it because i know that my target demographic are going to be people who like anime and most people who like anime also like games and they'll probably appreciate this type of video as well or vice versa i make a gaming channel well this type of games i'm playing there's a lot of anime references so therefore i probably have some anime fans that can make an anime video so you can kind of i feel like you know play with those thresholds a little bit um but you do want to be careful about going too out there because you can't just drop a video all of a sudden and expect people to love it um especially your subscribers you people will unsubscribe for that okay unfinished drunk anime talk let's do it oh wow it starts off at ten time i'm about to say let's do it okay then skip is it safe no i mean it just says ten i mean there's tentacles i think you're fine you're fine though you're totally fine okay i'm like skimming through right now if you're under 15 years old please cover your eyes and tune back in in 10 minutes you are under six years old why are you on the stream right now you should be sleeping all right well here's mike's cheerios um two jobs this is interesting what is this guitar is this audio surf what is this what are you using right now this is wait yeah this is audio surf what in the world okay so this is just the background image i guess while he talks so it's a gameplay vlog really want to thank you guys for your yeah with audio surf which is really different um okay the first thing i'm noticing about what you're actually saying in the video um as yeah as you're doing a vlog it's totally fine to get to be like you know what i'm working two jobs right now it's really tough you can say all of that but no one wants to hear anyone complain so if you're gonna do any sort of vlogging style i'm sure mike will attest to this like bad things happen in life it's important to address them and be honest about them but there's a way to do that without being like my life sucks right now and i have to do all this and like oh because if you're approaching it like that like no one wants to listen to that and you know it's a it's a turn off for people when they're trying to enjoy your video when typically what i've noticed with youtube people come to youtube videos to kind of escape something live through someone else's eyes watch something and just kind of get out of their area for a bit just to enjoy something else for a bit so if all they're getting thrown at is negativity that's not fun for them not saying this whole video is negative but um with just that idea there but especially like i mean in the first minute of the video is when like that's the first thing you say also sometimes if you have to take a break for life reasons you can sort of acknowledge it but you sometimes it's better not to and just kind of make the video because like you know i made like i'm watching this video this is the first video i ever saw of you i didn't even know you took a break so it's sort of up to you whether you actually want to acknowledge it want to talk about it or not it depends on how real you are with your viewers like me i'm a daily vlogger so everything that happens i have to acknowledge you're else like you know definitely like i have to comment saying i'm pretty much dead inside but you know i'm pretty much all right generally speaking not a good thing to say on a video he said i'm pretty much dead inside but you know i'm okay yeah no i mean like life's really hard right now and i'm sort of dead inside but i'm okay right now yeah okay generally speaking you don't want to do that um it's just like it doesn't create a good feeling i believe in being honest and being very real with the people who are watching your videos but you gotta gotta phrase it in a way that still like they enjoy watching it because like yes people are concerned about you it does say it's a drunk anime talk though so okay this could be like this video i thought i was gonna watch anime characters when when they were drunk just a compilation that's what i made characters i was kind of excited for it to be honest this is like uh like drunken real talk with reaver but if you so like even with that though i still think it's important to kind of control or limit it like again real talks totally fine but if you're gonna sit there and complain the whole time probably not a good idea um there's a way to phrase that and do it right also um yeah the you're playing an anime game i was the thumbnail of the video led me to believe that the actual video is going to be anime so that was sort of misleading but it's okay now that stuff aside the quality is nice there's a comment there's a comment sorry right to finish that i see one comment on this video talk more about anime yeah steven's fist pumping right now i was like but no um like the quality is good i think the audio sounds good um i i kind of like the idea of a real talk but make sure it's branded as a real talk don't like because like this was the first video we clicked and this is what we hopped into and we didn't know what to expect but if you just like title like real talk with uh with drunken reaver or something like that you know they're coming in they they know they're gonna get like completely unfiltered talk basically you know yeah that's okay if that's what you want it to be but make sure people know that's what's going to be um this is not what i was expecting and yeah i'm just being bombarded with the f-bomb about every sentence so i'm kind of it's okay to like a lot of youtubers have like you know like wine Tuesdays or it's like that's what they do but that's what they they very they march let people know what they're getting into before they click it like there was one time let me let's take an example from me in my past history we were doing a panel a vlogging panel at uh convention that like markiplier and the completionists and black nerd comedy were at so there's a big youtube following and we were doing a vlogging panel and then uh the completionists and black nerd comedy came on with us to talk vlogging and just youtube in general with us so like there's a big youtube crowd and we changed the topic from that to just like the real world of youtube and we just talked about like all the different things that piss us off with youtube for about an hour and then we looked up like sorry we've just been talking are there any questions and just everyone was there like passionate about youtube like all smile happy like i want to be a pro gamer that's like there's talks this sucks sorry we just were talking like no one was there to listen to it and that's what we just ranted for like a solid hour and we actually ate into someone else's time at a slot after us and we didn't get to anybody because we were just talking and we talked about what we want to talk about and no one was there to expect that and if someone was there to expect it would have been all fine dandy but we weren't prepared for it no one else was prepared for it so it was kind of make it a scheduled talk yeah yeah that's i think that's the moral here yeah but when it's okay to be uncensored so long as people know what they're getting into yeah yeah hopefully last thing to note i'm in a trance watching this game it's like have you ever seen audio surf i have but i haven't sat and watched it for 10 minutes okay i feel like being hypnotized spiders crawling on a thing i think this is audio surf too actually it looks more graphic all right so i think we have time for one more there was a channel i had that i thought because it's a really it looked like a really cool vlogging channel i thought it'll be a nice change of pace but i'm not sure if they're still here i could ask real quick and then i fell in love keep in mind real quick you have another five minutes before they respond because there's a delay okay just pretend that that's not there that's not from that though do you guys have a channel that you want i mean if you guys have i i've only i saw her comment like um a little bit ago i'm but i don't i haven't seen her comment since i'm so useful every time i come here to do this i'm sorry i um oh hi derpy you're here i kind of i feel like i just kind of sit on the side here and make comments you talk when you run out of cookies i don't have any cookies i have donuts shut up left stream you checked out for like the last 10 minutes and you just eat cookies oh she's still here hey i thought it would be a nice change of pace all right i was curious i was like and then i fell in love is that a gaming channel uh oh you fell in love doesn't sound like a gaming channel doesn't sound like a gaming channel i clicked on it and i was like hey this is kind of if it was a gaming channel i would have been severely disappointed um i mean it could be romance games oh yeah okay hold up let's do this all right guys so this is our this is your territory right last video oh i got a warning from the link wait what it said warning you're about to leave this channel okay cool um awesome i love vlog channels open a new tab so guys this is our last video so be sure to check out all the people we featured and feel free to watch this last channel with us and we will be back next week so if you didn't get featured today don't be discouraged just blame steven and we'll be back every time every time every time it's okay you know it's i'll take the blame this time okay blame derpy yeah blame me no that's okay i just thought it would be nice to actually you know like i saw a woman's channel and like not to be like i just realized because like most channel i love women has to be like no it says to be like all male and it was like i really you know you know you know i really enjoy the opposite gender it's just it's just something that i just enjoy it you know right where i was going with that whoa to interpret it that way i click on her about section ever since october brennan and i have been together as a couple wait what what do you oh hey wow derpy is this i use your left channel he dipped out he was like i'm gone i left your channel yeah it's just the odd coincidence that you say yeah i love the female gender says brun and i have been together i was like what i swear to god i've never met this person for my life my name is felicia joy okay felicia first of all i love the way you spell your name i think it's awesome uh what video show she actually she's been commenting she's a number of questions for specific questions and i appreciate it ph um wow i've never seen this public yes me neither um so the first thing she had was about our intro so i'm just gonna watch the most recent one welcome to florida oh i love florida all right yeah i've never been all right college in florida wait this is her intro oh i was about to do the same thing but you stole the words out of my mouth all right so it's very simple but i like first thing to point out it it didn't look like the best of quality but it made all of us go oh afterwards like so it it delivered what it meant to deliver and yeah i mean what is that style called is that stop animation motion yeah is that okay but i like that it looks like there's more to it though because it looks like it might have been photoshopped on top of a map or something or other because it loses quality when it started zooming in right now i i do think it could be improved but at the same point like i don't care that didn't bother me at the first couple seconds it did but then it ended on a really awesome note britney check out this intro we're doing a vlogging channel we're getting mics significant other right now to watch this look real quick look look at this intro tell me what you think hold on hold on wait for it isn't it yeah there you go we all did the same thing derpy says hi hi hi yeah okay back to the thing now um so the whole point is even if it's not the best quality of this our last one good all right even if it's not the best quality of video wise audio wise like if it makes people go awe or if it inspires that sort of like emotion in someone then you're doing something right that's the whole point the quality is in addition and that helps add clarity and it helps actually inspire those emotions but the whole point is to inspire those emotions like that intro accomplished exactly what it should have and yes there are ways to improve upon it i think that as you continue you probably will but like that's a really solid one to have right now yeah it was better than my first intro so i i'm a daily vlogger i do this and it looks like you might be like a travel vlogger because the intro kind of goes across the us it's like uh i'm getting the idea that you guys travel with you and your significant other and you see the world and stuff like you're at least the united states well dude her cat looks like your cat yeah i saw it too it looked just like mine um a little bit more energetic though yeah my cat just exists that's what we were talking about earlier he's just a cat um oh yeah it one of the next clips are airplane and right now someone travel wrote yesterday i have not had i mean Mike definitely has more to say about the vlog i know you keep um he's commenting quickly right now in the chat asking specific questions um the overall 120 there's someone photobombing in their sleep yeah i think that's pretty sure that's Brennan yeah you're in the video um so i mean the overall channel one thing i did a song i noticed someone also pointed out in the chat there's no landing page like when i did go to your home page i can only see welcome to my channel there's no like uploads or any sort of playlist underneath that i think that's generally speaking kind of a good idea to add oh yeah definitely yeah you want a better playlist um you have like a lot of vlogs and you know a variety of videos to kind of make playlists out of um you're asking specific questions about your channel like how to improve it i mean the thing about daily vlogging is mike you actually i want you to take this what are the tips you need to know if you want to be like a successful daily vlogger huh in a short concise brief version for this stream i mean what i've noticed with most vloggers who start vlogging they start out saying you know they're going to only showcase their life they're not going to like do more to impress and do more to um make a better vlog but as you start to vlog more and more vlogging essentially takes over your life and in a good way because it encourages you to go out and encourages you to go do things each and every day so you have something interesting to show and you start doing that for the videos because that's what you enjoy to do so i it's good to not change your life for a video and instead show your life be real um but also keep your viewers in mind because they are the ones that are funding your channel they're the ones that are keeping your channel rolling you want to have them have a pleasant experience while watching and leave happy so like that first clip that just instantly makes everyone go aw and then like when they leave the video they should be doing the same thing and they should be encouraged they should be happy they should be uh and to the end goals maybe make them like want to seek the world to find their significant other you know like but uh with this video in particular um i clicked on another random one and i'm curious to know if there's an outro here i'm skipping right now i'm watching the welcome to my channel this seems to be a good like compilation of a lot of like the outros a little bit busy but look everything is linked thank you very much all of them are buttons all of them are working right now yeah well done so good for you here's an idea for you um with the channel in specific because you have all these different things the daily diary the colors and creations but when you go to your channel you only see this trailer here um i'm going to showcase hours real quick this is our vlogging channel when you go to the first video there's this then you have uploads and then months or vlogs broken down by month and then you get down here here's 2014's vlogs 2013 here's our extras here's our friends that are featured and you could do like in each playlist section for each type of videos so with us we only do vlogs but it looks like you do multiple different things so you could start organizing by what you do and you can start featuring that and use that to help direct your viewers to where you want them to be so that way you can keep people around longer um also your outro i do i do like the fact that you have an outro especially how it's linked but it's a little bit busy like i feel like you're trying to add too much into it i think it would look a little bit better if you didn't have a daily diary colors and creations roots and inspirations tails and travels work in wisdom there are five different links here that are all kind of jammed together in the side um maybe have two or three it has space in between them because um you want people to be able to actually see it clearly the outro doesn't last long remember it's five ten seconds you want people to be able to see the outro when within a second they they understand what it's all about or they keep their intention yeah go ahead well what i was going to say you could even simplify it by just using the icons like tails and travels use the icon from that like have your paper airplane the passport you don't have to have the text taking up a solid chunk of the screen um people will start to first they might click it's they're curious and then after that they'll start to associate that with that playlist or that channel or whatever let's see what it actually is is it yeah it's a playlist so that's so you have that all set up already you have your playlist organized you just need to organize it on your channel and find a way to showcase it so you could maybe find a creative way to show it on your outro without blowing it up with uh text yeah you don't need to i like how the cat animates it no that's awesome yeah that's really cool it's simple but you don't need it to be like over complicated or anything like that and also um sorry to say this but the colors do kind of clash with the map of the background and i like how you have pink nails because i noticed that in one of your videos but like unfortunately uh this yeah this is the stuff with the white background like the big big big text with the kind of like the picture still kind of in the background is really just not working for you honey i think that needed the uh z formation snap to go along with it i know thank you no but overall actually i really like you have a really cool name that spelled a very unique way so i like that i like unique names but i think that you're actually doing really well i mean with this vlogging channel like your actual vlog was pretty entertaining i watched um some of a couple different ones and it was like you don't spend too much time on one thing you know you're making sure to actually keep it entertaining and keep it kind of moving throughout the thing i think so many times vloggers are just like let me spend three minutes videoing my cat for this segment and it's like well yeah you don't need three minutes um but overall yeah i think you have a really good vlogging channel overall you have really good platform you seem pretty knowledgeable too with like um what type of things you do want to talk about yeah um yeah so the last thing i will leave you with and for every single person listening right now because it's the most important thing when it comes to connecting with people from a speech perspective on stage on youtube in whatever platform ever the most important thing is emotion that is the most important thing there is nothing more important than that everything we're telling you about these reviews all of the tools and tricks and quality and all of that it helps you connect with the person on a deeper level it helps you actually reach the person but still the most important thing above all else is connecting with that person because it doesn't matter who you are what you're doing if you can connect with someone and inspire certain emotions like if you make them feel happy they're gonna come back and watch your video oh yeah that's almost like a hundred percent guarantee whether you have one subscriber or one million um if you can make people feel a certain way that will be your most valuable asset look at any of the big youtube channels that's what they do after you watch a video of theirs you're like i feel in a good mood that made me laugh or i feel a certain way it's the same with movies or tv that's the most important thing so as you can apply that to your channel however you want but keep that in mind now i've noticed two things with viewers of vloggers either they're living their life through your eyes or they're there to hang out with you so when you're hanging out with someone you want to have a fun time you want to have an exciting day you want to go out and do fun things if you're living through someone else's life like you have a really good relationship obviously because that's what the channel is all about they want to feel that sense of like love and stuff like that so if you start showcasing this in your videos show the happiness show like which it shows you are i mean every single thumbnail you're smiling like there there's a lot of happy in this channel and you can tell that when people leave they do that so if you start branding yourself around that i think that will really help um yeah don't be afraid again put that smile everywhere closing thoughts pretty sure derpy left to go with his cookies again okay vlogging vlogging's mike's thing so i'm just kind of letting him do you use that excuse on everything yeah i'm not i don't know how to vlog i yell at a microphone for 20 minutes and hope people watch it i you can still do general topics like entertaining and uh quality and no i like the quality i really do i think i think the audio could be a little bit more clear in some spots yeah but that's just my two sense i think i mean again i always view audio as being incredibly important having that whole connection factor with an audience though you really want people to be able to understand every word you say and and hold on to that yeah but no i really like it overall i think it's it's impressive quality i like it um i have two closing thoughts before we wrap this up okay mike let's hear first as a vlogger i've dealt with many many many many different cameras and it looks like yours needs just it has a little bit of shake to it and you can get like a cheaper camera that still has image stabilization and still it provides that good quality uh your quality looks good but it just shows a little bit of shake so that might be something to look into in the future as far as quality goes um also i noticed something concerning i'm actually just watching on the actual vlog so i'm watching what mike's doing right now um i was not watching the ice cream ice cream video but i noticed something about her the mailbox putting a letter into the mailbox just if you're gonna continue vlogging on youtube just be careful about like publicly advertising your home address oh yeah yeah yeah that's just like a like youtube's an awesome place don't get me wrong most people are gonna be awesome but you never know like it all it takes is one weird creeper to start stalking you and it just changes everything and it can really really really ruin an entire channel it just like changes the entire dynamic of things so i've known a few people had to quit due to that actually yeah it's just a thing to note it doesn't matter if you're a big channel or not if you're gonna be on youtube just be careful about like just like releasing every single video here's my home address yeah um so i didn't know if that's what this could have been like a completely different mailbox i just happened to notice there was a mailbox and a letter someone could pause and read what the return address was yeah or something like that so just be careful about that yeah um the other thing i want to note is is titling because with vlogging it's really hard to get noticed it's really hard to be seen you have to have something that helps you grow organically whether that's a bigger channel pulling you in the right direction like if you have like a cooking channel that's doing really well and it's promoting your vlogs or something else you need to find something to hit those search results so with your titles you might need to start thinking a little bit more about what would people search right here in this box to find me so you know um so october and tiny eyebrows you know someone might say how to make tiny eyebrows you know or something like that something that would make it be seen or you know you need to start to think about what people search in the search box to find your videos and that goes for everyone because if you're doing random stuff people aren't going to be searching that so i think the titles as a whole can be improved a little bit so you could be found a little bit more well but content-wise i think you're doing really well there's some little backend stuff that you could do to improve when it when it comes to vlogging unfortunately because of the nature of it it's very very very very difficult to grow fast it's one of those things that kind of slowly develops and gradually develops over time it seems like you have a great passion for doing this otherwise you know you wouldn't be doing it but that's really what has to carry you through the time that is going to take for people to really recognize your channel i mean there are a lot of successful vloggers you know mike we've talked about it there's there are some who definitely like grew super fast and you know in six months they already had a pretty nice following but mostly vloggers develop over time and that's just kind of a reality you have to accept like don't expect immediate immediate growth you definitely want to expect growth if you're not receiving growth that's a problem but it's a gradual exponential sort of growth so the more you get the more you'll end up getting yep definitely and lastly just in case you don't know how to add the playlist down the bottom on your main page you'll see an add section button we don't have it on the freedom page because there's too many playlists you can't get any more but there'll be an add playlist section where you can add each playlist to your main page if you do that i think that would be a huge improvement but yeah i think that wraps critiques anything else okay derpy you want to give your closing thoughts are some of your cookies or something my closing thoughts i told you i don't have cookies i have a bunch of donuts big difference my mistake i mean their cake donuts are pretty good yeah no i like i like kitty all right cool i i don't know i i'm sorry i suck at talking today i do like the channel though i really i'm not see it's it's a pro i'm not i don't watch a lot of vlogging channels like it's just not something that i i watch very much of it all so i don't really know what to i don't feel like it's my place to comment on what you're doing correctly what you're doing incorrectly so then comment as a viewer as a viewer yeah yeah of what you saw like what did you like it's kind of i like doing that you don't have to be a guru in the sense just as watching it as a viewer what do you think i don't watch gaming channels all the time but that's actually what makes my perspective kind of worthwhile right different yeah i mean i enjoyed it i watched the uh again i kind of saw the the trailer one too the welcome to my channel which is a compilation of everything and i mean it seems like i think the most important thing that i am noticing here is that everything you're doing you you're having a lot of fun doing it and i think that's also as we talked about with emotion i think that's an incredibly important feature of this that you're not just drag dragging around a camera and loading the fact that you have to turn it on every time to do something you are actually enjoying your day and having fun with with everyone around you and you're able to record that and capture that on footage and i from my perspective that's what makes a good vlogging channel definitely cool agreed well i think that wraps that thank you everyone for submitting your channels thank you for hanging out with us tonight it was a lot of fun we had a lot of good channels i have to go be in mics vlog yeah actually uh yeah we have to go run errands and britney is about to do a live stream so i have to get off the internet uh but yeah um i know we didn't get to everyone but there's plenty more opportunities we'll be back hopefully every week so we'll see you guys soon oh lastly you can check out derpy in the description or in the cards you could check out me and the cards are in the description all the no don't check him out check me out and if you want to check me out you could check both of them out too you might mics and mics channels he's got a bunch of dogs it's boring come watch my minecraft videos yeah all right guys we'll see you next week all right bye


Russians throw conscripts without combat training into battle. The Russian invaders are sending new conscripts from the Russian Federation who have not undergone any combat training to the front. General staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this. Russian occupation forces continue to send newly conscripted servicemen into combat without private combat training. For example, in the village of Rohov, Luhansk Oblast, about 110 conscripts arrived from the territory of the Russian Federation to the training camp of one of the units of the Russian occupation forces. When they received equipment and weapons, the Russian command informed the newly arrived personnel that they would be included in assault units and sent to the area of combat missions on the contact line in the near future. General staff stressed. Newly mobilized soldiers complain about the lack of training and equipment they are given before facing combat. This dissatisfaction has led to angry confrontations between soldiers and their commanders. There are reports that soldiers are being punished for refusing to fight.  Russia's soldiers have turned out to be very difficult from the formidable fighting force that many expected a year ago. Of course, the quality and quantity of manpower is only one of many factors that will shape the way that Russia continues to wage this war.


Hi everyone, I'm Dongwook Kim and I'll talk about flexible and efficient VAPI computation on encrypted data. This is a joint work with Alexander Boyd, Ignacio Cascuto, and Dario Fiore. Let me start with the motivation of our work. The motivation is an outsourced computation where a client outsources its data and computation to a server. Then the server gets back the result. In this case, we can think about two security concerns of the client. The first one is a data privacy that the client doesn't want to expose its data. The second one is computation integrity that the client wants to be guaranteed that the result is correct. Our goal is to provide a solution to these problems with an efficiency. Here, efficiency means that the computation, the storage, and the communication usage in this protocol should be as small as possible. On data privacy, fully homeofincryption can be a great solution. With homeofincryption, one can compute any function on encrypted data without decrypting it. If a client outsources its data which is encrypted with homeofincryption, the client can't get a result without exposing the data to anyone. Following Gentry's blueprint, many work have improved the efficiency of homeofincryption, and most schemes are usable in practice. We remarked that client is efficient since it only performs encryption and decryption while a server's computation burden has been improved. On computation integrity, verify for computation can be a good solution. In verify for computation, a server provides a proof for the computation and a client can verify the result with it. There has been many work on VC, and now we can see that they are used in practice as snarks. On efficiency of this solution, the verification is usually efficient, independent of the computation, and server's burden has been improved. Then what is the solution for both privacy and integrity? There are only a few work on this, and only FGP14 provides a solution with FGP14. The solution of FGP14 is to outsource the computation with fully homeofincryption, then verify the fully homeofincryption computation with verifiable computation. This can be a quite simple solution, but the problem is to design an efficient VC for the fully homeofincryption computation. Only a few work provide a solution to this, and our main contribution is to provide a solution to this problem. More precisely, we can compare the previous work with ours as follows as a VC on FHE. At first, our solution can verify FHE with any self-text modules while the previous one work only with prime modules of size bigger than, for example, 256-bit for 128-bit security. It enables more flexible choice of FHE parameters and gives more efficient usage of FHE. We also generalized the previous solution so that we can verify non-deterministic computation on encrypted data. Technically, the main point is the introduction of our new homeofcache functions, which will be explained later. We also adapted GKR protocol of rings to verify the FHE computation, and also provided a model for VC on encrypted data for non-deterministic computation. Now, we will talk about the basic syntax and generic scheme. At first, verify the computation is composed of four algorithms, and the preprocessing algorithm generates a CRS for a function F, and verification algorithm verifies the computation result with the proof generated from the proof algorithm. VC satisfies correctness, soundness, and succinctness property. The soundness says that an adversary cannot pass the verification with an incorrect result, while succinctness says that the proof size is small, and verification is faster than computing the function F. The homeof encryption is composed of four algorithms called keygen, encryption, eval, and decryption. The correctness property ensures that the computation on self-text is homomorphically preserved to the computation on the message, and the self-text also satisfies the user in the CPA security. Now, we can introduce the generic scheme of FGP14, which describes the V5 computation on encrypted data. The generic scheme is composed of setup, keygen, problemgen, compute, verify, and decode the algorithm, and it actually describes the scheme at the figure on the right side, which verifies the FH computation with VC. We can see that this generic scheme, concentrated from VC and FHG, satisfies the required properties such as privacy, integrity, associability, from the properties of VC and FHG. Here, the main problem is that VC for FH computation can be efficient. Let me explain a bit more about the efficiency of VC on homeof encryption computation. Usually in homeof encryption, the self-text is much bigger than the plaintext, and computational self-text is also much heavier than those on plaintext. For example, in BV homeof encryption scheme, self-text operation is at least D times bigger than those on the plaintext, and this D can be 2 to the 11 or 15. Therefore, if we apply VC on homeof encryption directly, it is also that D times costly than VC on plaintext, and it makes the overall VC scheme on encrypted data not efficient for practical use. Therefore, it is inevitable to design an efficient VC for homeof encryption computation for efficiency. A solution to this problem is to apply VC on the image of homeof cache on the HG computation. Here, the homeof cache is a ring homeorphism which preserves the self-text addition and multiplication, and the range of homeof cache written as DH can be much smaller than the domain the self-text pays. Therefore, VC on this image can be much more efficient than that on the self-text. Since this hash is homeof it, if the result is correct, then the homeof image is also verified to be correct. However, an adversary can send a wrong result which has the same image under this hash as the correct result. To prevent this, a verifier samples a hash from family of hashes which satisfies an absolute universal property. This property guarantees that if two self-texts are different, their images under the hash are also different with high probability, given that the hash is uniformly sampled from the family of hashes. With the previous idea on homeof cache, we can describe our VC on encrypted data. This was also implicitly exploited in the previous work. After approval or server gets back the result, a verifier or client samples a hash from family of hashes, then sends it to the approval. Then, the approval provides a proof on this image of hash on the self-text computation. Finally, the verifier can verify this image that confirms that the result is correct or not according to this verification. We can see that given that the hash is sampled from absolute universal hash family, the success probability of an adversary in shooting is less than the absolute. Also, the cost of VC can be reduced significantly, and we checked it with our instantiation, which will be explained later. We also remarked that the interaction between verifier and approval can be made to be non-interactive with VR-Shamu-Huristik. Now, let me introduce the instantiation of our VC scheme on encrypted data. For homeof encryption, we can use BV-Homeof encryption, and for verifier computation, we can use GKL protocol. Our main contribution, a construction of homeof cache, will be mainly explained. At first, let's recall the BV-Homeof encryption scheme briefly. Let capital phi be a cyclotomic polynomial, and let R sub t or R sub q be a polynomial ring mode t or mode q, quotiented by phi. We will focus on the self-text space, which is composed of polynomials in Y with coefficient from RQ. Then, the self-text addition and multiplications are just the addition and multiplications on this polynomial ring, which is equivalent to the ZQXY mode phi. Also, we assume that mode phi will be done later, then we can regard the self-text space as simply ZQXY, and in other words, a two-variate polynomial on ZQ. Therefore, when we consider the homeof cache, the domain of hash is simply ZQXY. Finally, we recall that in this homeof encryption, to compute function F with more multiplicative depth, the size of Q must be increased for correctness, and the degree of phi must be increased for security. Now, let me introduce our homomorphic cache on the self-text space ZQXY. As I told, we can simply consider the function F hat on this space ZQXY, and the F hat is composed of addition and multiplication on this space. Then, what can be a homomorphic cache on this space? In the previous work, one used an evaluation map which outputs an evaluation of constants alpha and beta on the input polynomial ZXY. This is simple and useful, but it works only when the self-text modulus Q is prime. In our work, we generalize the previous work and propose a homomorphic cache which also works on the self-text modulus with Q a power of prime. In fact, our homeof cache is a generalization of the previous evaluation map. For an input polynomial ZXY, we substitute Y with a polynomial RX in X, then modulate reduce the polynomial with another polynomial HX. Then, we can see that the previous evaluation map corresponds to the case with RX equal to beta and HX equal to X minus alpha. We can easily see that this hash is homomorphic. However, determining where and when this hash family can be absolute universal is more complicated. To give a solution, we need some facts on the Galer-Ring and Schwarz-Diploma. At first, recall that a Galer field is an extension field which is a ZQ polynomial, questionned by an iridescent polynomial HX, where Q is a prime. The Galer-Ring is an analog of the scalar field when you consider the Z sub P to the power instead of ZQ. Recall that a Schwarz-Diploma states that a non-zero polynomial of degree D can have as and most D zeros in a subset A with some property. With this, one can show the absolute universality of the hashes when Q is prime, since it is in fact equivalent to the statement that every non-zero polynomial will not be evaluated to be zero with high probability. To show the absolute universality in our case with power of prime modulus, the same argument can be used. However, the problem is that the size of A in the final ring is quite small. Therefore, we express the Galer-Ring which has enough size of the set A. Then, with this, we can show that the absolute universality with degree over absolute. Now, let me describe our home cache on ZP to DEXY. For our hash to be the absolute universality, we sample hx from iridescent polynomials. Then, the intermediate ring ZP to DEX, quotiented by hx, is our Galer-Ring. Then, we sample rx from the set A of this Galer-Ring. Then, with the Schwarz-Diploma on this Galer-Ring, we can show the absolute universality. In fact, this is just an overview and I recommend to see our paper for detailed proof. Here, we remark that there are plenty number of hx and rx on all prime p if we increase the degree of hx. Therefore, we can set our homomorphic hash to satisfy absolute universality with negligible absolute. Note that the degree of h is not very large. It can be similar to or less than the security parameter lambda. One important and interesting detail is that we need to provide a publicly sampling process for the iridescent polynomial hx. This can be done by simple rejection sampling, where one samples our random polynomial then checks if it is iridescent. In our work, we also provide more efficient sampling process for h, which uses much less random coins than the Naive method. With this, the sampling of homomorphic hash can also be made to be non-interactive with fiat-chamber heuristic. Finally, we can see that our homomorphic hash is good, except that the range of the hash is a Galer-Ring. Since we have to prove and verify the image of the hash, we have to provide a V5 computation that works on this Galer-Ring. For this, we propose to adapt the GKR protocol on the Galer-Ring SRVC on this Galer-Ring. At first, we call that a GKR protocol, which is introduced by Goldwasser, Karlein and Rappdrom, is a kind of V5 computation called an interactive proof. With this protocol, with interactions between verifier and prover, they can prove and verify the evaluation of ZP arithmetic circuit or computation composed of addition and multiplication on the final field. A protocol can be made to be non-interactive with fiat-chamber heuristic. The original protocol does not use any cryptographic schemes, and its soundness only depends on the short strip lemma on the final field or ZP. Therefore, one can naturally think of this GKR protocol working over the Galer-Ring, since the short strip lemma also holds in the Galer-Ring. The protocol description is the same as the original one, and the only difference is that every element is from the Galer-Ring instead of the ZP or the final field. Then, with this protocol over the Galer-Ring, one can directly prove and verify the computations over the Galer-Ring. I also remarked that the degree of H or the degree of Galer-Ring can be set similarly as the case of home of cache to make the soundness probability negligible. Finally, I can give the summary of our instantiation of VC or encrypted data. A verifier sends bvciftext and a computation function to the prover, then the prover gives back the result. Here, note that the ciftext and the result is regarded as two varied polynomials of our integer's modular prime power by delaying the modular deduction by phi to the end. Then, verifier samples our home of cache, which transforms the above ciftext and computations to the elements and computations of a Galer-Ring. In response, the prover sends a proof on this Galer-Ring with the dk protocol on this ring, then the verifier can verify the result. Finally, the verifier gets the result by computing modular phi, then decrypting the ciftext. Then, finally, the degree of H can be set according to the security parameter lambda. Now, I'll give the performance of our VC on encrypted data. Recall that our VC on encrypted data runs as the above figure. Then, we can see that the time complexity of the verifier and the prover are composed of hash evaluation and cost for verifier computation on the range dh of the hash. For more concrete analysis, we can consider the instantiation with subfunction f, whose degree is capital D and number of additions and multiplications are s. Then, assuming that we used our home of cache and dk protocol over Galer-Ring, the cost of verifier and prover, measured by the number of zq operations, can be summarized as these equations. I note that since modular phi is delayed to the end, the cost accompanies a term quadratic in D, while the original VV encryption would give a term linear in D. Still, the time complexity for prover can be even less than the time complexity for homomorphic computation, which shows that our scheme is quite efficient. We can also see the performance of our VC more concretely with an example circuit. We can think of two example circuit, which computes an inner product of two vectors or which computes the parallel evaluation of a polynomial on multiple input. The parameters for our scheme is given in the table. Let zqx, questionted by phi, be the safe-text space, and let zqx, questionted by h, be the range of home of cache. The performance improvement can be estimated by comparing the degree phi to the degree dh of h. The range of hash is about 15 to 240 times smaller than the safe-text space, and therefore our VC is at least that times faster than applying user VC directly on the safe-text space without hash. If one uses the previous work, fn between, the problem is that we must take low q to be bigger than 250, and hence the degree of phi of the fh must be bigger than 2 to d14, which means that we have to use less efficient fully homomorphic encryption parameters, even though it is not required for the fh computation. I finally mentioned that this parameter assumes the worst case where the prime p is 2, and if prime p is bigger than 2, the degree dh can be much smaller, and our VC can be more efficient as well. Finally, I will give a short overview on our VC scheme for non-deterministic computation and context hiding. Non-deterministic computations means a computation where a prover can enter its additional input, and context hiding means that the decryption of such text does not leak additional information than the message it has. Non-deterministic computation and context hiding property allows the VC shown encrypted data to be used in more diverse cases. For example, we can think of the case where a party prepares an encrypted data, and the party decrypted results are different. We provide a model for VC on encrypted data with homomorphic hash that comprises the non-deterministic computations. Roughly, this was done by generalizing the previous work, ff20, that performed noise-flooding by using public-sized inclusions of 0. Then we also combined this with homomorphic hash. I will refer to the paper for the detail. Finally, I will end this talk proposing some open problems. At first, it will be good if one can provide an efficient coming-up proof argument for homomorphic hash evaluation, or more generally, computations offer a gallery. In our paper, we only provided a generic VC scheme for a non-deterministic computation with homomorphic hash, and on efficient instantiation of this scheme, it will be possible with an instantiation of those argument systems. At second, our instantiation uses BV inclusion scheme, but this homomorphic inclusion scheme is not very actioned as the current leveled homomorphic inclusion schemes. The problem is that our VC should support other operations than addition and multiplication to come up with those leveled homomorphic inclusion schemes. It will be very interesting if one can propose an efficient VC scheme with sociability. Finally, we expect that our VC scheme is still very actioned for limited use cases, and it will be fascinating if one can find a good application. Thank you very much.
