Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage. Kathy Lewis, Elliot Lewis. Two of the most distinguished names in radio. Appearing each week in their own theater, starring in a repertory of transcribed stories of their own and your choosing. Radios for most players and radios for most plays. Drama, comedy, adventure, mystery, melodrama. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elliot Lewis. May I present my wife, Kathy? Good evening, and may I introduce our guest this evening, Bob Sweeney. Hello. Bob is a comedian and writer of comedy to most of you listening, but tonight he's done something a little bit different and we thought it would be nice if he told you about it himself. Thank you. A few months ago, I got interested in the work done by police women on the forces of our cities, and they were kind enough to allow me to spend some time with them on their tours. I put together some of what I saw during those weeks, and wrote a script called A Fifth of Tears. That's it. Which you're going to tell us tonight.  So tonight, A Fifth of Tears, written and narrated by Bob Sweeney. Tonight, it's the Night Watch out of Georgia Street. Five thirty in the evening till one in the morning. We patrol areas of high frequency in the heart of our city. Parks, bowling alleys, depots, penny arcades, cheap movie houses, skid row, burlesque strippers and gin joints. And any other places the men and women of our city choose to commit their acts of violence upon themselves and their children. Right now, it's roll call at Georgia Street. It's four forty-five p.m. The end of the day for some, the beginning for others. Now, here are the missings. You're late, Martin. Sorry, my sitter was late. All right. You ready, ladies? All right, fine. Juvenile escape, Donald Brown, male Caucasian, escape from Whittier.  Has small mole left cheek, scar on back of neck, scar on lower lip. Tattoo between second and third fingers, right hand. War regulation blues. Missing Juvenile, Dave Busce Slate, male Caucasian, fifteen and a half years. Five feet six or eight. Last seen, September seven. Nineteen fifty-two, getting a truck ride on fast freight headed toward Los Angeles from Salem, Oregon. That's it for tonight. Any questions? Martin, may I see you in my office, please? Thank you, ladies. What's it all about, Franklin? Why don't you put that... Pull that chair up to the desk. All right. Now, huh? Cigarette? Yes, thanks. Here. What kind of a bee girl do you think you'd make? So that's it. Mm-hmm. You need another life here. Thanks. Where do I do this? Main Street, north of 4th. Just once. Why couldn't it be the coconut grove or zeroes? They're too respectable. Yeah. What's the matter? Don't you like our skid row? Not even the people who live off it like it. It's a growth. Oh, think of the tip she'll make. Thanks. Lieutenant Dogburn from Central Vice called and said they wanted a policewoman who was young, attractive, good figure, sharp and quick with the answers. And I won the beauty contest. You're blushing. Tonight promises to be interesting. It won't be the routine patrol of clamorous streets and vaglate valleys. Calls for the bee wagons, shakedown cards in Pershing Square. Station calls, more license numbers for the hot sheet. And curfew warnings to the little boys who should have been home but stayed to see Hoppy once more. Tonight it's a bee girl assignment. Tonight we meet Lieutenant Dogburn in the parking lot, Spring Street. Now we're in car 15 JW. J for juvenile, W for women. No siren, no insignia. Better go down six to spring. We'll make better time with the lights. That signal was out of order back there. I'll get it. What was the corner? Olympic and flower. 15 JW reporting a VO signal at Olympic and flower. KMA, 367. 15 JW, Roger. What have they got you doing tonight, Laura? I am a bee girl. Fancy. These things always scare me. Me too. You talk about scared. Lopez and I got a call to an apartment in East Los Angeles. One of those mixtures of cooking odors and carpeting that screams I've never been cleaned. And you believe it? That sounds familiar. The woman was a mental case beating up her children. Lopez took the kids down to the car and was going to put in a call for a male officer. No sooner had Lopez gotten down the steps, the woman let go with one of those Ocean Park Cupid dolls and then after me with a knife. What happened? The doll missed and I got the knife before she got to me. Wow. Must have been quite an experience. Putting it mildly, yes. It's the kids that catch you though. There's Gertie begging again. Should we stop and see her? We have time. It's 5.45. I'm due now. She must have just got out. I think this is your block. Right. 15 JW, go to your station. 15 JW, Roger. Well, here you are. Thanks for the ride, McCuff. Take care of yourself. Lieutenant Ogburn? How do you do, Mrs. Martin? Get in. Mrs. Martin, do you know Sergeant Bergman? I know Sergeant Bergman. He worked with my husband. How have you been, Fred? Fine, Laura, yourself? Just fine. How's little Bill? Wonderful. All right, Mrs. Martin, how much do you know? Just what Sergeant Franken told me. I'm to be a big girl. That's right. And here's the rest of the story. It's a place called the Three Jacks Club. We suspect them of a violation of Section 61 of the ABC Act. Have you worked bars before? No, sir, I haven't. A violation of 61 is waitresses encouraging patrons to purchase drinks. I see. There's three jacks on Main Street between 5th and 6th. There's nothing more than a beer joint with mixed drinks, pinball machines, a jukebox, bar stools, booze, and they serve food behind a partition at the end of the bar. What am I supposed to find out? What we haven't been able to find out. We want to pull a raid, but we can't get the evidence. Every time we send a plain clothes officer in, as a decoy, he's spotted. We've got a break today. They ran an ad in this morning's paper for a cocktail waitress. I see.  Take this ad with you and see if you can get the job. I'll do my best. I'm sure you will, Mrs. Martin. Bergman, tell Mrs. Martin about Felix. Well, Felix is the night manager in one of the bartenders. Each bartender hires his own girls for his own shift. For your purposes, he's the boss. Felix. And watch him. He knows more about running a string of peas than anybody on Main Street. You'll have to be on your toes, Mrs. Martin. Our whole action is geared to the evidence you can supply us between now and nine o'clock this evening. Don't forget the girl, Lieutenant. Oh, yes. One other thing, there may be a juvenile angle. One of the girls on Felix's shift looks like she could be 16 or so. Or so? She's one of those who looks like she's her older sister. I'll look for her. You won't be able to miss her. What's the procedure, Lieutenant? You apply for the job at six o'clock. If you don't get the job, report back to me in this parking lot, not later than 6.30. If you don't report, we'll assume you have the job. In that case, Sergeant Bergman will contact you at nine o'clock. If you have sufficient evidence for us to stage a raid, give him the nod and we'll do the rest. Any questions? No, no, sir. It's clear. You better leave your gun, your badge, ID, and shoulder purse with me. If you get the job, they may go through your things while you're on duty.  Put on these earrings and a little more makeup. Right. Now, here's a cheap purse for you to carry. Here's my gun. I'll hold it for you. And the shells. You're all set? All set. I have 551 in 30 seconds. Now. I have 551 in 40 seconds. Now. We're only five off. It's close enough. Good luck and be careful. No gun, no badge, no identification. Just you. Five years training, your wits, earrings, and a borrowed purse. Your name is Laura Martin, but not tonight. You have to pick a name. Something with L and something with M. In case you have to write it out, you'll at least start with the right letters. A name won't come to you. There's that feeling again in the pit of your stomach. Hollow and empty, like you haven't eaten for a week. Laverne, Loretta, Lena, Libby, Lisa, Lola, Lola. Now M. Murphy, Mullen, Mitchell, Mitchell, Mason, Mason, Lola Mason. This is the place. It must be. The sign says Three Jacks Club. Here it goes. Pardon me. What? Are you Felix? Who wants to know? I understand you have a job open. What kind of a job? Cocktail waitress. How do you find out? Straight bourbon, coke chaser, and a double scotch over rocks. See Ralph, I'm busy. Ralph, straight bourbon, coke chaser, a double scotch over rocks. I saw the ad in the paper. You ever work in a bar before? No, but I catch on fast. You do, huh? You want to work days and nights? Nights. Why? Well, I go to school. My girlfriend's getting a night job. We thought it would work out better for the apartment we have. Stand back from the bar. I'm butting your coat. What school you going to? USC. It's a pretty nice school you got there. Do I get the job? Can you start tonight? Sure. You got it. You are listening to Kathy and Elliott Lewis on stage. Tonight's play, A Fifth of Tears. This Saturday, CBS Radio's Gangbusters begins a four week series on police activities against a dangerous criminal gang of the Pacific Northwest. G-Men and local authorities had to work together and the hunt was hard in a manhunt against one of the ten most wanted criminals that left them to uncover a crime network involving many desperate operators. This Saturday night on most of these same CBS radio stations, here Gangbusters name the names, places and events in this exciting true police case, one that takes us back several years for one of America's most exciting manhunts.  Waitress is encouraging patrons to purchase drinks. There's something else. One waitress is suspected of being 16 years old, a juvenile. Every vice officer who's decoyed the joint has failed. There's something wrong. Now it's up to a policewoman. It's in your lap. From now until nine o'clock, it's up to you. And you know it. Lawler, you get 45 hours a week. You work from six until two in the morning. Keep your tits. You start out as a bar girl. What school did you see in Ghana? USC. And you work just behind a bar to your honor the ropes. All right. Now get this, it's important. You serve nothing but beer, no mixed drinks, just beer. Where'd you say you're from? I didn't say. If some guy wants a mixed drink, you get it from either Ralph or I. Got it. Here's the beer. These are the glasses. Here's where you put the money. All of it. I understand. Where are you from? Ohio. You serve beer, no mixed drinks, just beer. You serve the guys who sit up to the bar. And you fill beer orders for the girls who are working the booze. So far, this adds up to nothing. There are three other girls on your shift. Rosita, Billy, and Ruth. Ruth looks like the one who might be 16. The makeup is just a little too heavy. She laughs just a little too much for a girl who's trying to be so old. And she does look like her own assistant. So you serve beer. And everything goes along just like that until one of the customers takes a fancy to you. And Felix notices it. What do you have? Gary a beer. Eastern or local? Local. 35. Here you are. They'll keep you changed. Thanks. That first cup was really the one. It looks like you enjoyed it.  Yeah. I started tonight. You know, I... What are you drinking? Sorry, Ruthie. I am talking to the new one. Okay, okay. You're going to get me into trouble. Listen, in this joint everybody's fair game and right now you got me. I'm touched. I'm safe. You don't know so much as these other dames. I might go home with a few books. That isn't that bad. Listen, when Felix gets finished with you, you'll be able to smile the silver right out of a guy's teeth. And he'll love every painful minute of it. Why do you come in here? Have you ever lived in the skid row room? No. Some rats are better sewers. Why don't you climb over the bar and sit next to me? I'll buy you a drink. I don't think... All right. Take these drinks over to Rosita and the guy in the corner. Okay. That new one's pretty cute, Felix. My girls are the best. All right, all right. Good night. Well, you're gone. She'll be back. Felix, give me a bourbon with a coke chaser and a boiler maker. How is that one over there? It's a stiff one. Make this a nightcap and send it. He's on his way. Bourbon, coke and a boiler maker. Right. Hello, Ruthie. How you doing, honey? Oh, I want to talk to you, Lola. About what? That guy you had at the bar here. What about him? He liked you. So? So you got to like him a little. I was watching you. You weren't friendly enough. But you told me not to... Forget what I told you before. Listen to what I'm telling you now.  That's why I hired you. The guy wants you to sit with him. Sit with him. What about waiting on the customers? Look, if you get a guy and he's right, take him over to one of those booths. The other girls will wait on you. Oh, yeah, I understand. In a week, I'll up you to 55. You'll be making at least $60 on tips. But don't be afraid to be friendly. You're friendly. They start springing for champagne and I get $16 a bottle for champagne. Domestic. This is all a little new to me. You're catch on. Ruthie's been with me less than three months. She's making over $150. She's only a kid. Is she? Sure. It isn't how old you are. It's how smart you are. You got the stuff. Just warm up. You want to graduate, don't you? Sure. In your toes, you'll have a nice pencil box. All right. There's only one thing you got to remember. Never ask a guy for a drink. Make him ask you. Why? Because the cops don't like it. Don't let a body of though, I got every vice cop pegged. Anytime one of them comes in here, I'll give you the high sign. You stay away from him like he was poisoned. Right. Come into my office. I'll show you some. I'll show you how to drink. What do you mean? How do you think my girl stays sober drink until two in the morning? I don't know. I'm going to show you. When you're with a guy and he's springing for drinks, let him order what he wants, but you, you always order a straight shot of whiskey with a Coke chaser. Why? I'm going to show you. You take the Coke chaser in the hand that's nearest to the guy, cup your hand around the glass so he can't see how much is in it. Then drink some Coke, but hold it in your mouth. Then take the shot of whiskey and hold that in your mouth. Then go for some more Coke, but don't drink any.  That's how you drink all night, but you don't drink. And the sucker pays a buck and a half a shot. I understand. Try it. Practice with this Coke. All right. That's it. Now take a sip of Coke. Hold it. Now kill the shot. Hold it. Now go for some more Coke, but let it all slip in the glass. There. How's that? Lousy. Look at the bubbles you made.  Sorry. Try it again. You try it again and again and again and again. Until you get it so smooth it's like syrup running into the glass.  You've been on the job two hours and 45 minutes. It's 8.45. You've been promoted from bar girl to full-fledged B girl. The department likes its girls to move ahead. Sergeant Franken will be proud of you. There's one more angle to cover. A talk with Ruthie before Central Vice moves in for the raid. Rosita says she's in the ladies' room. Can I borrow you lipstick? Sure. Hand me one of those paper towels, will you? Here you are. Thanks. I'll put on some fresh makeup. What color do you want? I have a choice. Honey, I have them for every mood. Give me one for a gal who's got the first-day jitters. Here you are. Try this. Thanks. When you get on to this job, it's a snap. How long have you been at it? About three months. Do you use mascara? Oh. Oh, honey, try it. Really gives your lids character. Where are you from? Ohio. Canton. I'm from Toledo. No, Kitten. Yeah. Do you have an old boy named Fred Tarantino there? Well, I don't think so. That's funny. He was a bell boy in a hotel there. I met him once. Why'd you leave? A hotel? No, Canton. Oh. My old man and my mother split up. How do you like these doe eyes? Very becoming. I think they're kind of glamorous. They split up and I went to live with my father. And he married a dame four years older than me. I couldn't stand being bossed by a cheeky stepmother. So I got on a bus and came to Los Angeles.  I don't know. I'm using a phony name anyway. Like your earring. Thanks. How is it working for Felix? Oh, it's all right. He make good money. He keeps his hands off you. It's all kind of new to me. Let me give you a tip. Stay away from the young guys. They're either slummin' or they're broke. Spend your time with the old guys and the servicemen. They're lonely and they're loaded. Personally, I like the old guys. Aren't some of them pretty repulsive? Well, I don't mean the winos. I mean the baldies. I like these doe eyes on me, don't you? They're nice. You just gotta use me as scara, honey.  How old are you, Ruthie? Guess. You'll never guess. You must be at least 22. See, I told you. 16, three months ago. No. Yeah. And for heaven's sake, keep it under your hat. Why, Felix knows. But the cops don't. And they're in here every night. They are? Sure. This ain't exactly on the up and up, you know. Oh. Come on. Let's go. Three minutes to nine. Your contact from Central Vice will be here any minute. You're ready. The evidence is complete. The three jacks is employing waitresses to encourage patrons to purchase drinks. A juvenile is employed. A runaway from Canton, Ohio, who has the world by the tail. Just a matter of minutes now until a button's put on this. Then the crime reports and home to your little boy. Lola. Yes? Go get yourself something to eat. Eat? Yeah. I'm not hungry. It's almost nine o'clock. You've been on three hours.  Can't go all night without eating. Felix, sir. I've got first night jitters. Now go eat. Eat something. Go on. Go eat. Food is the furthest thing from your mind at this moment. But until you make your contact, you're the new girl who was hired tonight. And if Felix says eat, you eat. So you go behind the partition, which cuts off your view of the main street entrance. It's a question of your eating a... A piece of pie and a cup of coffee. Quick, please.  A few fast bites and a couple of gulps and back you go, hoping you haven't missed your contact. Honey, see that guy going out the door? I see him. That's one of the cops I was telling you about. Lola! Were you looking for me, Sergeant? Laura, I thought... I know. Did you get the evidence? Yes, sir. Violation of 61 and the girls are juvenile. Nice work. Get your hat and coat. A fifth of tears, starring Kathy and Elliot Lewis. In a moment, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will tell you about next week's play. Tomorrow night, you'll want to hear John Lund as yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Taking on an insurance investigation, he calls the Underwood matter. The question of interest to yours truly is whether a certain policy holder was killed, died a suicide, or had an accident. See if you can beat Johnny Dollar to the punch tomorrow night on CBS Radio. Also tomorrow night on most of these stations, try your wits against those of Mr. Keen, tracer of lost persons, investigating the case of murder and the haunted farm. Now, Kathy and Elliot Lewis. Our thanks to Bob Sweeney for the script and the narrative. To police women Irene Tedrow and Charlotte Lawrence. Police officers Byron Kane and Hi-Averbeck. Juvenile offender Barbara Whiting. And lonely patron Joseph Granby. Next week, a very unusual story about daydreaming. It is titled, Call Me a Cab. Its author, Shirley Gordon. And its premise, the quick, fanciful dreams of two strangers sharing a rainy afternoon. So until next week, thank you for listening. And good night. Good night. Music for tonight's story was composed by Fred Steiner and conducted by Lud Glaskin. The Kathy and Elliot theme is by Ray Novo. Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage is transcribed and directed by Mr. Lewis. George Walsh speaking. What does the future hold for me? That's a question we all ask ourselves at one time or another. Well, the answer is security, relaxation, happiness. If we save and invest our money wisely now. And what investment could be easier, safer or wiser than United States defense bonds? When you invest in United States defense bonds through the payroll savings plan where you work, your saving is automatic. Each payday, your fund for the future grows larger and larger. And as it grows, more and more interest is added at a new higher rate of 3% compounded semi-annually when held to maturity. What's more, every bond you invest in is as safe as the country you live in. So for your future, your family's future, your country's future, invest in United States defense bonds. Join us again next week for Kathy and Elliot Lewis on stage. And remember, Friday night there's music in the air on the CBS Radio Network.


Macroeconomics from the Greek prefix macro, meaning large plus economics is a branch of economics dealing with the performance, structure, behavior, and decision-making of an economy as a whole. This includes regional, national, and global economies. Macroeconomics study aggregated indicators such as GDP, unemployment rates, national income, price indices, and the interrelations among the different sectors of the economy to better understand how the whole economy functions. They also develop model that explain the relationship between such factors as national income, output, consumption, unemployment, inflation, savings, investment, international trade, and international finance. While macroeconomics is a broad field of study, there are two areas of research that are emblematic of the discipline, the attempt to understand the causes and consequences of short-run fluctuations in national income. The business cycle and the attempt to understand the determinants of long-run economic growth increases in national income. Macroeconomic models and their forecasts are used by governments to assist in the development and evaluation of economic policy. Macroeconomics and microeconomics, the pair of terms coined by Ragnar Frisch, are the two most general fields in economics.3. In contrast to macroeconomics, microeconomics is the branch of economics that studies the behavior of individuals and firms in making decisions and the interactions among these individuals and firms it narrowly defined. Markets. Macroeconomics encompasses a variety of concepts and variables, but there are three central topics for macroeconomic research. For macroeconomic theories usually relate the phenomena of output, unemployment, and inflation. Outside of macroeconomic theory, these topics are also important to all economic agents including workers, consumers and producers.


stream now let's just hang out for a moment until we can actually see that it's working maybe i agree all right uh refresh hey we're live cool all right so guys thank you for joining and being so early to the stream looks like we already have quite a few people in the chat so if you guys are new here we are doing our monday live video critiques where you guys can submit your videos to us and we will critique them live and of course we have jordan with us hello he is another fellow youtube creator that makes videos and things and stuff so let's go ahead and get started if anyone has a video that they'd like us to check out post the name of the video and we will check that out and find that you can't post links because links are banned and blocked and things and stuff so we should be good to go yeah give us your channels also be sure to let us know if the audio levels are appropriate between the two of us because uh in the past we have either one's too quiet or one's too loud or one's peaking or jordan is uh upside down not using the correct microphone if anyone noticed nobody knows shut up carry on so yeah uh i'll let you pick your first one okay mike spooky day video on my channel do it what is what wait wait no oh okay there yep all right i'm looking for it did you find it i found it first i got it okay first all right so guys uh as always i'm going to post this in the future channel so you guys can watch it with us and if you like it let them know you like it and say hey what up i like turkeys so there's that's actually you know what let's do the shortened link so in order to see the links in the description you will have to refresh the stream but uh other than that it's in there and we should be good to go yes okay very subtle and peaceful intro um oh wait so i would say this audio here just abruptly stops um i don't know if it's meant to do that or not but uh it kind of like hits me because it's so like nice and welcoming i maybe fade it into it unless that's what you want is like hit them in the face and like the video is starting prepare yourself pick up the video do you agree yeah i agree yeah if you're gonna be doing like that maybe have a fade on the audio instead of just being like so sorry there's something going on behind me can you hear the crinkles yeah i can hear the crinkles sorry i'm very distracted so you have what looks to be a nice microphone like a nice xLR mic but the audio is really quiet what the fuck is knocking on the door right now so it's kind of distracting like you know if you see someone talking to a mic you should be able to hear it like close up and crisp uh so that way it actually sells that effect and you really get the point um i saw a bit of a continuity area with you leaving the room where you left the room the door opened up and then it was a hard curtain yeah when you're doing the editing stuff it's a bit it that's a hard thing to do but make sure you always make sure you make sure you get it right but you know practice makes perfect i mean i've got plenty of videos on my channel that are not very good so these videos are tough and props to you for playing all these different characters um i have tried this before and i think jordan's tried this a few times too where you have to like put on different personalities and act different like put on different outfits and all that um it is tough and it's cool if you spend this much time making a video and yeah the issue with this type of stuff is typically you're doing it playing all these parts because you are by yourself and if that is the case then you know you are also having to shoot and record yourself by yourself and that's a bit of a learning curve to try and practice and see how you can get the best shots get the best lighting and everything when you are recording everything by yourself so um this is going to be something i'm sure you'll learn and work with over time and if you keep on doing this and making this a regular thing you'll get better at it as you continue to play around but uh little things that i just recommend to improve the overall quality just soft boxes you could spend a hundred dollars get a whole softbox kit um and then you know you have a nice microphone so try and find a way to use that to record for your audio even if you have to sync it up later you could do that and then that way you can get nice really crisp audio and that would just really just give a nice huge quality boost overall um but the energy is there you know you have all the different characters you have all that stuff so practice look into those different things and i think you'd be set like this first clip here you're really white which is a good thing because like you have white light on you it looks natural but then at the end it's orange light uh because you're in a different room with uh daylight bulbs instead of the uh you know the white light so that's what the softboxes would help fix excellent yeah but i think you have a nice start here and i like the energy and i like the effort so if you keep on doing this like i said just uh work on quality and practice and i think you could you could do pretty well with it yeah so um it's early days obviously and i expect if i came back onto this channel a year later i i probably expect to see a huge change and like lighting and microphones and everything because that's just how it works oh yeah definitely yeah it's one of those things when you uh play it by year in practice especially when you upload a video and then reddit gets involved yeah yes that was a bit that was a harsh learning curve for me but um i still went through it and i still got through it and yeah but yeah now i feel my videos are white now yeah if you look at your other videos you know the lighting in here is nice because you're shooting during the day and uh the softboxes would help create that effect on all of your videos so it doesn't matter what time it is it doesn't matter you know what situation you're in you can always create that you can still make it you can adjust the light make it stronger make it weaker and uh play around with it yeah so i think that'd be the biggest thing for your channel if you got softboxes which i said i believe they're about a hundred dollars for a pack of three and that's for christmas for your birthday or go mo 10 lawns and go get that and if that's something you're really interested in that'd be a really good investment all right well yep oh nope wrong one yeah i found a channel i'm just trying to take a video or we can let me turn down my uh phone your phone yeah did you not hear the ding no okay well then never mind i will just nothing happened nothing happened at all there you go all right so how was everyone's day all right so this is nzor gta 5 funny moments bin men adventures number eight bin men all right so i'm gonna go ahead and add him to uh the description and then if you guys refresh the page when i say so it'd be there and you can watch it with us so again as we're watching the video and talking about the video we're not monitoring the comments so it's now saved if you go there it's there to check out and uh before we get started as a funny moments video we expect you know quick chopped out funny parts no dry parts there's not like time waiting to get to the next funny part as just all the funny parts from your video smashed down to one quick fun video and seeing that's two minutes it looks like you might be on that path so go ahead and get started rubbish like no other day for this is a sunday morning and we are on duty today we collect rubbish so that's the common issue that we see with uh creators like your microphone it doesn't sound bad but your friends who are laughing they were like peeking and scratching and stuff like that so you're really limited to what you can like provide quality wise depending on what your friends record so um whether that means help them out get a new microphone or say you know you could play with this but just not on recordings um it's it's tough because if you want to keep the quality for your channel and you spend all this time perfecting the quality then just a friend ruins it you know so yeah I mean because at the moment it sounds like your friends are playing on the moon and um it kind of loses the after a while you get it gets a bit boring because we can't really understand the jokes and it's just you're the only one with the decent microphone but there's another one that stands out that's all right but there's one that's significantly like worse than the others and like you know these are all pretty good funny moments I think they're paced well I think they're edited well but the biggest thing like I said that you're being hindered by is just your overall audio of the video so I'd say that'd be something to keep in mind as you continue to play because I know it's easier to make a fun video when you have a bunch of friends but uh at the same time that can hurt your overall quality although I'm liking the sound effects yeah like this is like I'm saying this is a really good video and you've done pretty much everything you need to do to make a good video but um for an average viewer just watching they might be put off because of the audio yeah so like you've done everything you can other than just pick who is going to be in your videos for quality reasons so I'd be interested in seeing a video of yours that uh has just you because I think you do really good at it yeah uh one last thing to point out it ends really abruptly not even like a goodbye or outro slate or something I'd recommend at least I'd recommend now to say I recommend that to anyone because it helps redirect traffic where you want it you know you could say oh more funny moments or more so and so blah blah blah you know you can show them what you want them to watch next so if you did those two things I think you'd be set personally oh yes yeah it's another thing as well I expect it's come back in a year and it's probably going to be a lot better um uh what was I going to say when you're when you're trying to find friends for these kind of things one of the things that people do is they go you can play with me you can play on my channel but uh what microphone have you got that's always a question especially when I'm like hanging out with people because Mike always asks me Mike goes Joel what's your mic Mike Mike and I'm like it's it's I'm like it's plugged in I promise and then uh and then um we go from there but uh yeah yeah I saw a comment saying that this guy's audio isn't that bad um and you know bigger youtubers have worse mics uh that's true that's what we're saying it's the friends that have bad microphones is what we were pointing out yeah so let's go ahead and grab another one or you grab one or do I need two comments uh rolling by yeah you can go for it I'm looking through channels alone all right okay here is a link this is on this guy's channel so this is versity and he said that he really wants to be a successful youtuber in the future and he needs us to help make it happen so I I appreciated that comment and thought this would be a nice channel to look at say I really respect channels who have goals and aspirations for their channel like you can't just say I want to be a famous you know it's like I this is what I want to do this is what I want to work towards and I'm willing to learn um or you know the one thing I want to do is you know help raise money or I want to go help you know make people laugh or have something that you want to do with your channel and then constantly work towards that so props to you on that um I just added you to your description so if you refresh the page you'll see him there and then we can start this so the first thing I say is lighting I mean I know you're playing a spooky game and the idea of the lighting would be to be dark but the way the lighting is going because obviously you're only lit up by your screen so every time you have a bright moment in the game your webcam lights up and that's not very not very good to see it's it's always an idea to have like maybe if you're doing Halloween games to have a um a light like behind you or to the side of you just give you that silhouetted look because it's spooky and um yeah you can you can play your lighting it's fun but that's just that's just for horror games yeah I like the idea of it being dark overall in the webcam for um the gameplay but like George said at some points it's just a little bit too dark or maybe even just a different webcam could help improve that so that way if you are playing in full dark then or bump the brightness of your monitor or something you know to help produce a little bit more light and even it out they're simple and more expensive ways to go about that yeah um I love your friend he's like hiding in his shirt he's like oh my god I'm gonna die I've played this and it is a tough game to get through um I've noticed like the game is there any is there any game audio uh 130 there is that's for sure one 30 I mean I can hear audio I love the reactions YouTube have well go go to um um god where are we go to two minutes 10 okay which is what I mean I feel like there's no actual game audio they just had a backing track over oh got you yeah yeah there what should be more to that you're right um yeah um that would be something you need to work on your overall recording and try and figure out a way to get the audio if your screen recorder doesn't record game audio you know there's other ideas and stuff like ways to do that um just kind of play around with the software you have and find a way to make that happen but um I do respect though trying to find a solution you know like if you uh you know your game recording broke like if normally it works perfectly fine but this time it didn't and instead of deleting the footage you actually took the time to edit it and add like the jump scare noises and stuff at least in some point parts because sound is so important with horror games yeah definitely there was one time I did a I think it was five nights at Freddy's and I recorded the whole thing and then I didn't have game audio and I just cried I was like I'm not doing it again I tortured myself there's no way I'm doing this and uh I just deleted it I was so upset so props to you for actually trying to salvage it and work through it and still make a fun video because you guys did have good reactions and fun uh commentary I think one of my favorite ones you did Mike was you playing slender in the woods and you actually went into the woods yeah I played in slender's woods and everyone's like yeah I'm cool because I played the game in the dark I was like well I'm playing the dark and the woods I bet that was absolutely brutal yeah not only that but I got attacked by bugs they were all swarming to my screen and slender bugs yeah so I got the full effect but yeah um little things to improve on I think you guys have a good chemistry if you're going to continue playing with your friend or brother there um I think your commentary is good and the video recording is not bad quality however we did uh establish the audio needs improved and that being said also your vocal audio could be improved upon because it sounds like you might recording directly to your camera um that gives you a really limited range of sound you can't do as much with it and if you scream you know it maxes out it scratches there's a lot of issues with that and uh I'd say you know invest in a microphone whether it's 50 bucks or 100 bucks or whatever if you went in and got that that would be a huge improvement and then uh something little just for the experience you can get like a two dollar headphone converter that splits into two so you can plug in two headphones and you could both have your own headphones and you can actually both and they are cheap chips huh and they are cheapest chips because they're saying yeah absolutely and if you got if you start doing this more and doing this like this group commentary idea there are headphones where you can actually talk and hear yourself over your ears and if you were doing that that way you could still hear your friend talking while still having the noise cancelling headphones that you can hear and really experience the game and really get into it which uh you guys did really get into it I'm just saying you could have got a better experience if you had both ears and why even improve the overall reaction even more so so those are little things just uh you know there's nothing about you it's just equipment I guess would be a huge improvement to the channel overall you agree I do agree well your turn my turn this guy's a streamer so all of his videos are like half a century long uh scruffy JC we're doing rocket league wait I clicked the button nothing happened okay hold on where are we all right here we go so there's that let's go ahead and put it in the description maybe maybe there we go all right so scruffy is now in the future channels box so if you refresh the page you can watch it with us get out scruffy all right so this is a tough one all right guys welcome back to another rocket league we're gonna have to critique your quality your energy and uh I guess that's really all we can do since it's a stream re-uploaded because we can't really judge the overall video experience you know but I do like the um the potential annotations on them so like the subscribe and instagram and twitter and yeah it looks nice normally I see these and they're like cluttered and yeah it looks horrible yeah they just look jumbled but they actually look like they belong with rocket league uh by the way sorry if you can hear my train he comes around around this time every day so uh he's gonna say hi yeah hi jim can you hear him yep jim says hi so anyways uh one last thing to really point out before we jump into it and long-term aspects I personally don't see re-uploading streams to youtube help make you super successful however you could re-upload funny moments from the live streams you could shop out different cool parts from the live streams there's a lot of options you could do if you're a streamer and want to use youtube as a source to promote that but just re-uploading the full video I feel isn't um you know going towards your whole or your full potential so if you add down um you know take out these different moments that are good then you can have a really solid video that would do well on youtube be searchable and have a nice entertainment factor that would also promote your streams so now let's go ahead and check it out because a good thing about streaming all the slides you did like a highlights videos and all this lot on your youtube when you come to announce that you're actually doing a live stream people would be excited because they'd be like oh we get to see it live and then they can go onto your twitch and be like yay and then I was there for this I was there for that and that actually does work yep everyone's saying jim in the comments good old jim jim so see here's kind of another example five seconds into the videos when you actually start your intro because you're doing the live stream so if you'd actually edit it and chop it down then you could do that also I know there's a feature it looks like you're playing playstation if uh you are playstation has an option just to upload the video to youtube afterwards and go straight to youtube and you could do that and then download it to your computers that way you don't need to have a capture card because I know it's a limitation to some people and you could download it and then you could chop it down he says he works full time so it's hard for him to live stream and edit yeah for a high life I completely understand I post up I think 16 videos a week plus maintain a daily vlog channel it's it's tough and then uh my friend she also does the same plus works a full-time job so you can find time if you're really really passionate about it but it's it's really tough to do so like I said you have to really dedicate and schedule and come up with ways to actually do it and make it happen if you really want to make it happen rocket lead though good game oh yeah definitely you're actually talking about playing it after like hey you want to chill for a minute plays them wrongly so um there's audio quality as well it sounds like using the webcam microphone so like we said nearly every every time you can get yourself a little cheap microphone which will make it sound a bit better at all do you reckon it sounds like a webcam or does it sound like it's a headphone now there's someone in it that sounds really good but they're so quiet it's hard to hear them yeah um that's often my issue and that might be you I don't know um but a way to prevent that is to use a program like TeamSpeak where you can actually control each person's volume and turn down others turn up others that way you can equalize it and make it so you don't have to go back and edit and tweak audio and post you can just do it before so when you go back you have your recording then you're good to go so since this is the first video I'm watching it's hard to determine which voice is yours so it's hard to judge you on your quality I guess but uh yeah like we mentioned earlier okay wait I think I picked out which voice is yours now I'm really listening yeah I think yours I don't know there's someone that has a louder mic that's a little bit scratchy at times so whether that's webcam or just a cheaper mic you could turn down your volume so you don't scratch you could change the placement push it back a little bit so it's not scratching so if that's you uh play with the positioning play with the gain so that way you can really project and have that energy but not uh hurt the overall audio quality so it's not too bad a quality it's just scratchy when there's yelling yeah so there's not much range with it I guess is the issue but apart from that I can't redo much more oh yeah like what we can see what we can talk about I think it's good also I just noticed that the color of the bar up at the top changes the scrappy JC graphics up to the top it's like pulsating colors every time I look up it's a different colors like wait what that's cool yeah that's a little extra little thing that's uh fun but um well there you go yeah I think you know for a stream this is good energy this is uh you know keeping the viewer engaged in talking throughout that time oh he had a snowball microphone but he dropped it oh no yeah that's chat it's here for the snowball how do I score that how do I score that how do I score that yeah um yeah in that case I guess you got to deal with what you have and play with it until you can really you know I don't know find a solution for it so I just say I guess start saving for a new one don't drop it this time oh not much to say there I guess this kid is it really doesn't sound bad it just doesn't have any great yeah so maybe that's something you could fix just by like what I said earlier if you just adjust the positioning or not make it quite as uh don't turn the gain up as much so that might help fix your problem temporarily until you can afford a new one yes cool yeti now quickly checking the latest live stream well I'm using that I use a yeti they're good aren't they I love I love my yeti I just I just picture you's like petting a yeti over there I love yeti's by the way uh you guys are getting wrecked in this stream it's up six zero right now two minutes left he's like yeah stop watching it now let's carry on but yeah um overall cool graphics nice chemistry nice commentary just work on your microphone one way or another yeah and then uh if you can find time edding would uh really be a game changer cool well on to the next one on to the next one do you have one I do I do someone says they use the audio tech to get 2020 yeah I used to use that I had a few of them actually they are good microphones and now Brittany do it all burney all right everyone's called her burney now it's great yeah it'll only be time before she changes our youtube channel to burney burr pause all right so this one is from dragon plays I'll just I'm sure that probably looks weird I just resized it for whatever reason and uh the video sky wars episode 19 spectator time excellent for a question mark and it is now in the description so you can refresh the page you can now see that and yeah things oh that looks really weird I'm watching it right now and I just did it I'm like oh I hope it recovers please recover recover recover do it what have you done well I there we go cool it's fixed I oh my god I just saw on the stream your mouse for you can all right so we have one of them sing-along minecraft videos where you dance to the video as I like to call them so no commentary then it's like correct it looks like it these are one of those tough ones because yeah there you don't know I don't know if this is like a if you want to do it like this or maybe you just can't do a commentary right now now there might be a niche for this you know where people just watch the game um I personally don't watch anyone that doesn't have more to bring to the table than the game because I you know I want to watch the game and experience it but I also want to have something more from the creator whether it's like knowledge whether it's talking whether it's um you know just funny moments this is you know a nicely done video if you had something more in my opinion but like I said there might be a niche for that I don't know I personally just don't watch that so maybe play around with different ideas and genres and see what's best for you quality of the video is not too bad it's a 720 you can always go for like 10 1080 because I think this is on the PC if I look at it yeah because like I'm saying you know it's it does look good the music's nice it's not like you know overpowering dubstep it's really just kind of chill relaxing music that's nice and easy to watch this game so there's definitely a lot of perks to the video but I think if you're really gonna go far with it you need to start to think about what more can I bring to the table what can I do differently from everyone else because I've seen a lot of people do this and like I said I don't know if this is something viewers look for now there are like playthroughs of games I know that's a thing where you want to watch and see how to get through a game and you don't care about the commentary because commentary normally means that they're gonna you know make the game more hard than usual and they don't get through things so uh you want to just see them get through it but on a game like this it's a little bit different because there's not something to learn from watching even without commentary you know yeah so uh yeah I think it's a cool concept it's just uh find a way to make it original make it you find a way to showcase yourself in a video and build a name and a brand for who you are and that would help you provide uh take this quality and make it original so uh check out his outro okay also there's a silent part in here like the music that I really liked it uh you know ended there okay I'm on the outro so yeah outro does it seem a bit owl focused to you it seems like it's just scaled up it was made like for 480 or something and then stretched so it lost the overall definition and quality yeah because like the you know the scaled down videos in here they all look great they look full quality and um so as far as the outro you can't take a video and stretch it or take a photo and stretch it you can't really do it either you can but you're gonna lose definition you're gonna lose quality the further you stretch it so sometimes you can get away with a little resizing here and there but you can only take that so far so I'd recommend taking that and maybe just redo it on a 1920 by 1080 scale to start with and that way you can have the choice to scale it down to 720 and you won't lose quality or you can keep it at 1080 if you ever decide to go to 80 10 maybe yep and then uh the last thing was that audio where it went quiet here and there was nothing um you know if you were to have this and this how you want it either chop out some stuff so it makes it the length of the song and then it goes to your outro or fade another song that goes into your outro so I wouldn't recommend keeping that silent right here you can't just throw a song down and click render and hope it fits so you have to watch it and see if it's you know works throughout it and it plays uh throughout the video and actually doesn't like overpower it you know you have to really pay attention to these things so you're on the right path I think you just need to to do some uh thinking some soul searching for what you want to do and what you want to represent with your channel yeah and I also hate the fish icing in Minecraft but that's my personal opinion that's a common thing I personally don't use it but I see a lot of people do it so yeah I don't like it but that's just me Jordan's weird I'm weird okay okay I found an interesting one okay I had demi planes ready to go but we'll do this one says I'd love a critique I know the quality sucks balls but it's funny and I think you'll enjoy it it's honest I like it yeah so if you're aware of that then we can watch it and hopefully give some pointers here there so uh first and foremost your channel has nothing on it so let's see if you have more videos you do so what I'd recommend is take some playlist down here and start adding sections to your main page because you do have the channel trailer and it's formatted correctly you just don't have anything else to showcase so uh add that to it and I think you'd be solid so let me add you to the featured channel and then I'll send it to Jordan yes please and now you are in the description if you guys refresh the page you could watch this video that is funny and uh sucking ball of quality with us and if you just joined I'm not dissing this person he said it himself so I like that all right my channel is absolutely horrendous but I'd like to know wow he said his video is good but the quality sucks okay what are you talking about you just give me the join just because make me laugh the hives block parts so video quality doesn't look bad my main goal today is 1080p 60 frames a second what are you talking about why are you lying maybe he's talking about audio quality everything going good for me well even sir the audio is not too bad yeah it seems a little flat but uh I mean it's not so there is a little bit of a lag and part of these 60 frames a second you know things that people love is how smooth it is and how it looks like greater than life essentially so if you can't record a smooth video on 60 frames a second I'd recommend just doing 1080 there's nothing wrong with just 1080 but if you can do 1080 60 then I'd recommend doing it but if you can't and you can't do it smoothly then that's when you can just try and do uh you know straight up just 1080 there's nothing wrong with that so I'd rather have a smooth seamless experience of 1080 than a jumpy video do you agree he's got a good personality though yeah as for the audio I would say you know video quality is good audio quality is good they both can be improved though like we mentioned earlier the video you could just change the recording settings that would help a lot the audio maybe run it through like an audio editor that's free or paid whatever and give it a little bit more ump to it because right now it just sounds the color is far away it doesn't sound tinny it doesn't sound bad quality it just sounds flat so if you would go in and tweak it a little bit and run it through just a simple you know compression normalize stuff like that that would help clean it up and you see I don't understand that give it some more oh wait I won yay just got to the part where you won the lord it has helped props to you have never won block party and he has blessed me yeah I do like your online personality makes me yeah he's being he's intrigued and that is so important with game videos now I feel a lot of people miss out on that so now that you've seen his personality and you've heard the video and heard like how he acts do you think his channel seems fitting for that let me go have a look at his channel now let's have it no so next thing that I would recommend is you just seem like a really fun happy and energetic person so you need to like sell that with your art with your avatar right now you have like a two-tone banner with a black and white avatar like I'd expect some like light blues some like bright popping colors that just really stand out and scream like look at me you know so look at me I think you have a good idea your thumbnails look good though yeah I noticed that so these have like a lot of look at me face value but your banner and avatar or something I think could be improved so um really the only thing would be a quality in my opinion however I just saw an intro on one of your videos one of those uh like really bold music and bouncy intros if you guys have watched our streams before you know that we're not a fan yeah um as you as a person you as quality there's no quality here that sucks balls it's uh can be improved like we said we gave you a couple tips there that could be improved so to recap you're good you're on the right path you are funny you have a good personality but there's a couple little things you could tweak to really sell that and on a closing note for me at least I noticed on the last two videos that there's an ad in the middle of the video ads at the beginning of the video and after the video are acceptable we all want more money no one's gonna complain if someone gives us you know a hundred dollar bill and says go spend it at you know your favorite store no one's gonna complain about that but you can't go around asking for money and when you put a video an ad in the middle of the video that's essentially what you're doing now there are some people that's really just like need it and they're on the border line of becoming a full-time youtuber but they just need that extra push to get them over I feel like that's okay to help them make enough to create better content for their creators but in these early stages if I had to watch a second or a second or a third ad you know I might leave because I don't want to sit through another 30 second ad or something like that so you will lose viewers the more ads you put it's proven youtube says it itself when you check the video ad it says viewer you know duration and viewer ship will decrease if you click this or it has a chance to decrease so keep an eye out for that I wouldn't recommend that especially in these early stages of youtube I know you want to see more profit from your work but there's other ways to do that so personally that's my thoughts on that I don't know how you feel about that Jordan or anyone else but uh I just hate seeing three ads in one three minute video drives me insane but yeah I mean I've seen a couple creators do it and I'm okay with it because I know that they need it to produce the content that they produce you know but uh yeah it's very rare for me to accept that and a creator so I'd say keep that in mind and then make your channel scream you scream you so yeah uh I hope that helped I'm actually a fan of your channel I think you're doing a good job so props to you there hooray and I like your comment wait am I frozen okay no I just paused the video for whatever reason why did I pause the live stream okay all right do you have okay you said you had one for me yeah um there you go another star wars star wars are you excited for the movie while I waste time and put this in the description I am so excited yeah it's gonna be a long time ago's worth of awesomeness that certainly made sense oh yeah I totally understood it all right I will let you say the name oh you totally just went r2d2 to get into the mood for star wars battlefront oh he's gone Jordan am I all alone I don't know what to do hello okay you're back cool I mean I never went anywhere you were yeah it sound like you were talking through a robotic blender maybe I was all right yeah his name is uh Neil Omen or Neil Omen Neil Omen Neil Omen Neil Omen so today guys we are reviewing Neil Omen and star wars battlefront third person challenge part five all right so uh names aside let's watch the video and if you have a uh grammatically correct pronunciation for your name feel free to put it in the chat so we can know how to pronounce it and hopefully you say it in the intro so I just feel dumb my channel name is Neil oh I knew it wait what yeah that's interesting array something different oh he says his name he says his name you pretty much just went Neil Omen okay I'm a fan already that's great um one thing I would recommend I really like the intro you did here you could tell you did it yourself yeah you could tell you did something with this however what I would recommend since you're showing this funny moment of the game here at the beginning and then you cut to a different game at first I was like wait what are we not watching star wars so if you were to put this like separate it from the video somehow I know you have this been yet but like for instance on my vlogs I show a bunch of fun clips on my laptop screen as it zooms into it with like our normal house in the background so like let's say you were sitting at your desk just like playing a game but you see all this to the beat of the music with the camera behind you like zooming into it or something I think that would be really cool so that way you could take this and go an extra step and then separate it and you could actually tell that um this you know is different from the game you're playing but uh I I do really like I just thought of that in my head as I was watching it it's got a very good personality oh yeah all right guys this is and the audio is fantastic I love it when people have energy and project and then have to go get a lozenge afterwards because their throat hurts um yeah every time I do a recording I'm like yeah I'm the same either it's either I need to go get a glass of water or I need to go to hospital after that 24 hour livestream man I took two days of recovery so I could actually talk again my voice kept cracking and falling out and everything I was like oh man that's why we weren't here last time guys because Mike was dead so far there's absolutely nothing you can improve on um you got killed by rick grimes though uh don't let that happen um he seems like a nice guy and all but uh he shouldn't be friend to him not let him kill you um sorry walking dead reference but uh I don't watch that show let's see am I gonna aim well that was actually I don't know if he can be friends Jordan give me something to get improved uh game audio we need it I know he's talking a lot but I like the idea of having game audio in the background we're having lots of shooting like those star wars sound effects in there so voice to music ratio is great but if you would take the game audio and put it right there with your music audio then it would not be distracting it would be good it would uh sound good it won't be overpowering so in the past we had someone say you know they don't want the game they want their voice to be what you pay attention to and that's understanding but you can turn down the percentage to like you know 10 percent game and then 100% voice that'll still be enough to get that um you know that extra selling point me personally I didn't notice it until Jordan said it because that background music but uh not I think of it star wars is very sound oriented like if you close your eyes and watch star wars you could see everything that's happening you know I highly recommend you don't do that but what you could because there's so much like awesome sounds like you know when a lightsaber is happening you know when a stormtroopers shooting you know when a wookiee wookies um you know so you have that and same goes for all games you want to have that sound I guess to help uh help tell the story you remind me of the vanos gaming and the gaming lemon what in one which is awesome because I'm subscribed to both of these guys he almost has lemon in his name yeah nearly a little bit trolling music at three minutes 40 yeah I saw that I'll let you do the singing since that's kind of your thing he does that you just don't hear it yeah this is definitely gaming lemon style because um he has like uh sound effects in there like nope and like the homo simpson scream like that I love that sense of humor it's very ed ed and eddy where they just have random sound effects ed and eddy reference but um wow the only other thing I was gonna say was like I'd be curious to see what it'd be like with uh webcam but then in your outro you actually do have a webcam so you you know you know what you want with webcam you know what you don't want with webcam you're on the right path uh the outro slate I think could be improved yeah it's a bit busy like it's not bad but uh you know we just watched the star wars game and now we see all these dudes you know like what's that to do with star wars so if this was an outro slate for these games in particular that you're playing I could understand that but I would say find a more game neutral background you know just graphics with your your name with these slates the subscribe button and it won't be as busy or direct your eyes to the video instead of what else is happening on the outro um if you did that add some game audio and there'd be nothing that I could say you could improve in my opinion uh neo little lemon I do this if I really like a channel wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait okay oh my god what have you done nothing just just finish I was gonna say when I uh when I really like a channel I like to um obviously as the general public does I like to subscribe and I think I'm gonna subscribe to this channel so neo little lemon I am your 632nd subscriber now what were you doing you went wait wait wait wait wait wait wait I need to get the children cheering sound effect ready oh well I can't hear that so that was a useless thing but it's for them whatever someone subscribes you have to have children cheering I wish I had that like on my phone whenever I got a subscription email notification that would just make my day so much better vegetarian one vegetarian one what's for dinner Jordan a vegetarian one vegetarian what there's a lot of options there you can have vegetarian water you would never tell you you would never know I promise so yeah uh it was good good all right hey I see a vlogger or watching them I need more vlogs in my life I'm gonna send you this link though so because I've been wanting to check this one out for a little while okay because she's been very patient but that's after after the vlogger yeah you picked that one my turn I don't even know if you want this channel critique I just saw vlogs and I grabbed his name real quick all right so we're watching Ryan Sellers vlogs and human mario cart balloon battle I am excited for this balloon vlogging mario what's not to love your name's Ryan I like that name um Ryan seller all right so if you refresh the page his video is in the feature channels box so you can watch it with us and watch it with us all right oh I've seen this before this is a fun game I was gonna say who you've seen the vlog before I'm like oh no I've seen this game before all right first thing this intro I feel is not good for vlogs I'd be like a gaming intro in my opinion would you agree there yeah um Mike God there's so much going on oh but yeah you know it for a vlogger you need to have something that really screams your name shows what you're about shows um what they're about to watch and your intro and set them up for what they're about to experience so that kind of uh is distracting in my opinion now overall video quality is good though 1080p it looks good it looks like you're actually using g7x potentially oh he's throwing camera names hey yo but it has that shallow depth of field so it's how's that shallow depth of field oh that's a nice ISO you see right there girl I love your aperture oh it's sure it's being a novel so with this one we're watching people have you ever played have you ever played Mario Kart 64 you haven't played that of course I have okay I thought you were saying you haven't okay you're right so like the battle where you have three balloons attached to your car and you have to pop them yeah this just is awesome I want to see like I want to see a parkour team do this how great would that be that'd be pretty good so as a vlogger you know this is fun to show this is interesting to watch but I think you could take it an extra step further and do like commentary on it like just going in for the kill going in for the balloon where's she get it they shake hands and dips oh she's basing okay go like uh just go and have some fun with it and make some comedy make some laughs like announcer that's your goal for like the funny vlogs or you know or just this is my life this is what I want to look back on later that's different but uh yeah I think the most successful vlogs are the ones that have like a large entertainment factor whether it's comedy or you know personality it's like right now we haven't learned a lot about you we just learned a lot about you know your friends what's going on and it looks like fun I'm probably either use music or cut it down just so it's not doesn't get boring really quickly as a editing as a vlogging idea now like I could watch this all day this is just interesting uh but uh it would make the overall viewing experience better if there is music and it was chopped down I'm totally putting this on my to-do list by the way coming to a vlog near you coming to a press record video in rear gear I'm gonna play with my dog she's gonna win I'm thinking of um somehow making this game dangerous and they're having it on my channel feel them with propane yeah if you step on it you will be a potential like bomb threat but yeah um I as you know like as a vlogger I'd like to learn more about you as the creator who's behind the camera who is who are we sharing this day with essentially so if you start to learn more about the people you could build that connection as you build that connection they're gonna want to come back for more where where is this place this place looks awesome it's got sofas it's got a hockey um have you seen the outro no I'm getting there I'm still watching the hokey pokey balloon style I'm still watching them puppy puppy balloons okay live record and inspire through a lens I like that that's really cool you know having a inspirational channel but as I mentioned you know like um it might just been this video in particular because this is a lot of excitement a lot of stuff going on but uh if your goal is to inspire through a lens you need to inspire that needs to be your goal it needs to be what you're doing and uh you know you need to find a way to do that whether it's you talking about your own personal experiences and what you're going through or um you know just showing people that they can smile and they can go out and have fun so you know they need to see that so we saw a little bit of you in the beginning but it'd be cool to see more of you so yeah yeah potential vlogging I like it yeah I mean if you check out Mike's only vlogs good grief all right you're up me yeah okay it's dark outside what it is it's five o'clock it's getting dark so well yes um you said you already sent me the link yeah it was a link before the one you sent to me demi place that's the one cool I found it I found it what did you just put your stuff Daniel on your chair no all right you have to finish up the review in that voice all right demi you are now in the description if you refresh the page you can watch this video with us all right let's begin this video okay the intro would work for a scary game this is portal I'm not scared of no portal also like your headphones we match but uh yeah I'd recommend a more friendly intro for a friendly game did you just say hi my name's Demi and I'm a potato I'm a potato too I'm a carrot so I would recommend first off before we even get started just slide your webcam to the other side so you're looking at your game yeah and cut out and cut out all that space in the webcam because it looks like you're on the one side of the camera there's all that open space there's a very lovely chair but that's not one of me to watch hey we almost have matching chairs too except mine's a knock-off band I'm cheap and poor but that's besides the fact anyways yeah if you scoot it over to the right and then slice it right around there then you'd be looking at and guiding your viewers attention to what you're looking at now I know you're looking away from the screen and where you're looking would essentially be the right way so I don't know what you're looking at or if you're looking at notes or what but yeah I like I said I just scooted over and you should be good to go um as far as the uh text at the beginning do you reckon that's necessary or do you reckon she could just say that herself like subscribe and like up and ever know I like the addition of it because you're you know you're doing call to actions and stuff like that uh yes you can do that in particular by yourself but uh I do like the use of having text pop in so the extra effort is there and I appreciate that if you are going to do it maybe put a little bit more effort into it so it's not just a blocky text like have some make it look a bit more pretty maybe but that's about it okay now the quality is really good your audio quality is not bad it could be boosted a little bit if you have you know some microphone that's on your desk you can bring it closer to you because uh if you have the same headphones as me which it looks like you do there's a microphone right here but that just dangles like I have to put this in my mouth to actually make it sound good and that's uncomfortable for me um so uh if that's the mic you're using I'm very surprised that it sounds as good as it does but uh yeah why would you do that to me seeing those portal blocks brings back memories I know of a video we did yeah back in the day didn't we play portal together no we never did okay I could I could put that there that told us to derp to derp yeah so yeah um I'd like you know your personality I like your sense of humor calling yourself potato that's funny um that means she uses a yeti yeah so bring it a little bit closer then so we can really hear that yeti come out um that was weird you went r2d2 and you did that so it actually I don't know if this is true or not but it sounds like your microphone is over on the side so when you're turning your head and talking it actually sounds louder what so I would recommend you say it's far away yeah so if you brought it closer it would help a lot so you guys hear me now if I'd scoot this back here like in the back of my desk how do I sound now you know you're still gonna hear me it's still gonna sound okay quality but do I sound as good I can't actually answer I'm assuming but Jordan can you help me do I sound as good uh you're not far away Jordan help me hello okay but yeah I'd say just uh readjust your mic a little bit what huh words am I sir life yeah you're there but you're you're electronic uh she did not complete her whole year um hmm I blame UK internet yeah uh you got uh yeah so Jordan I know okay there you go you're back kind of you're still weird sounding but okay uh do you have any other thoughts with this one I think it's weird um my personality is great it's not boring to watch we've pulled oh you're gone Jordan you're back okay but that is totally down personal preferences I want to do that's just my recommendation um I understood recommendation and uh that was about it so anyways guys we have had our hour time slot so normally we like to let one more person hop in real quick and let everyone down easy so I think we have time for one more um I think what Jordan was trying to say was your overall personality is great uh you think you said you would like to see some more acting was that a bit more a bit more active active active acting he wants he wants to see arms of flail and and yelling stuff so yeah um I agree with that you can probably you know throw a little bit more energy out there go get an energy drink before you talk and you just you know you go crazy with it um or uh yeah there's a lot of options there but I think on the right track you'll obviously have all the quality necessary um I would play with your mic settings a little bit and get it closer to you so you can really sound good uh this boom extension arm that I have you can use on your mic and it was like 10 bucks for me so you can easily get one for yourself that would uh get it really up close and personal if you don't have a way of doing that so if you can afford a dx racer chair you could sell the left screw and make enough for it um so uh yeah it looks like you would be able to do that and if you did that I think you'd be really uh heading in the right direction yes well okay let's do one last one real quick guys uh remember if you did not get a chance to be in this particular live stream we we should be back next Monday uh we've made pretty much every single Monday with the exception of one so chances are we'll be back next Monday and you guys can have another opportunity to be featured we can't get to everyone but we want to so don't get discouraged and we'll be back next time Kepler says Jordan is the king of Brits yeah hey start changing some rules and get better internet then come on it all right so uh and sorry I'm distracted by this bouncing ball do you have someone or should I try and find a person you can find the last person all right all right I'm reading all the comments bye Fabio bye Fabio okay sorry the comment the comments are just rolling by I'm trying to pick one that I want to review there's not really any comments that are standing out there I'll pick me pick me pick me sell me sell me tell me why I should pick you give me a real description give me an elevator what videos do you have that's got me me me that's so in depth all right don't choose me me all right I'm waiting for a real authentic comment all these are just copy and paste ones it looks like I have very rubbish quality and all that worked once already today thank you I'm Fabio and I like potatoes please bait you're great and you're a blank slate with no traits what please tell me you have a rhyming channel all right I'm getting actual comments now I'm excited all right all right sexy like I mean zesty oh wow I haven't been called that in a while all right so I got one so guys again this is the last video and we will again be back next time check me out because I'm British all British gaming united all right so this is D man Brock studios and he said that we should pick him because he spends days working on his videos and trying to make them the best possible and spends a lot of time editing so I think that's fair enough if you're putting that much time and effort into it it'd be nice to see that effort shine so again guys I appreciate all the comments thank you for leaving me real comments uh those are the ones that we really look for in these if we just see the same comment over and over and over again it's uh hard to pick that person because you can tell they're just clicking control v over and over again so if you send us authentic comments that we're able to read then we'll be authentic with you so appreciate that and uh let's check this last one out loud actually wait sorry what's that I didn't put them in the description panic panic all right all right so D man rocks you are now in the description if you refresh the page you can watch it with us and this is the last one so I advise you do all right so the intro is copyrighted music isn't it let me just do it again they sound like remix copyrighted music which is an issue maybe really cool it on that can't really call that one so but the music playing in the actual video this sounds copyright yeah although it ends pretty quickly so maybe that can be used in the fair use yeah it's still yeah I don't know so I think there's something to say about this it's like a minecraft music video yeah essentially it's kind of it's cool um but there was I feel like there was one part in here where it was just a little bit too repetitive uh where it was just cut into black every single beat you know um it's you have the right idea you have to cut on the beat and make the beat stand out so it's really easy to watch but like if I was in a dark room right now I'd probably get a headache because it's getting really dark and then bright all of a sudden um you have like I said you do have the right idea there with making something happen on each beat whether that means like a different clip each beat or do something for five beats and then another something for the next five beats uh that will make each effect stand out so much more so it's a little editing trick in it I forget the actual technical name of that style of editing but that's what I do and I love it also your outro slate it's pretty cool I like how it falls into place yeah so one of my favorite um copyright free music tracks there and then uh I like how it it bounces to the music too but it might be a little bit too much as far as like the two bouncing yeah the bounce factor like I like the idea of it moving but maybe just even like you know just a little bit of a scale difference or something but everything you're doing is really cool I think it's heading in the right direction you just need to finesse it and work with it and mess around different editing styles on it because it looks like you color correct beautiful move go ahead sorry I was I was gonna say the problem with the uh the jumping outro is uh annotations yeah so where do I click it fortunately it's always in the same spot and it scales up so if you always click you know in the middle it's there but uh if it's like all over the place then yeah you like where do I click or where do I put the annotations rather that'd be another one um yeah now parting thoughts how far do you think something like this would go what was the question again how far do you think something like this would go on youtube r2d2 is giving his thoughts again I don't know who's in that it's on it shouldn't be mine I have gigabit internet so just saying yeah I don't know everything handful of meows I go weird it's the cat's fault yeah um okay try it one more time you sound okay right now quick hurry before meows repeat yourself I say I say I say uh I said uh no okay so if it was a high if it was a highlight video yes but since it's in yeah so I think this is a cool video but if this is all your channel is um I don't know how far that would be able to go on youtube also I just now notice sorry your outro slate is about 30 seconds long I think that's a little bit too long in my opinion but as part that actual video I would say you know this would be a cool way to showcase and share what you're doing in a fun manner and it's really creative and it's interesting to watch and if I was watching your channel and I had a bunch of fun on your channel like watching your videos and then this popped out I would really enjoy that because I could tell you put a lot of time into it I can tell that you know there's a lot of editing involved so on and so forth but um as for if that is the only thing on your channel then uh I don't know how far that would go unless you just like became incredible at editing and people came to see your editing and if that's what you're going for then uh I think you're in the right path you just need to continue practicing continue working for instance uh if you are an editor and you know how to edit here you say Minecraft PvP 60 frames per second however if you click the icon here that's not in 60 frames per second you might have recorded it at 60 but when you rendered it you didn't render it at 60 so you need to learn your encoding and your um frames per second when you're actually exporting and stuff like that so when you do upload it it will actually be 60 frames so you're currently lying in your title here whether it's intentional or not uh if you are in fact doing 60 frames a second it will stay here and quality will say 1080p 60 and in order to do that you have to do that in your editing software not in your recording well I mean you have to record at 62 but then when you publish it you have to publish it at 60 so that was some very educational information there cool well thank you for being our last person on the stream I appreciate everyone commenting and hanging out with us and he said he did publish it at 60 uh that's interesting because it's it's not so you need to figure that out and I don't know uh do some tests that are unlisted and keep on playing with it until you see one that does say 1080p 60 so because there's something wrong there if it didn't show up so um that being said again thank you guys if you want to check out Jordan he is in the cards as well as the description below and you can see his channel where I'll let you go and pitch it you're really good at pitching your channel um I may I hurt myself a lot on my channel that just sounds all right that sounds bad stuff I do fun things that might potentially result in you know me being dumb I get pushed into a swimming pool in the dead of October you should go check it out so and then on my channel I'm a daily vlogger gamer and I also have dogs and things so you can check us out in the cards as well description below so anyways guys that's it we'll see you next monday see you in a moment when I click stop can you sing some outro music for me no it's it's dubstep


Hey guys, welcome to Trending Reviews. So if you're like myself and you work on a computer quite a lot, so six, seven, eight hours a day, sometimes during the day time and even in the evenings or at night time. Like myself, you don't want to end up straining your eyes too much. It can get a little bit too glary when you're looking at a screen for hours on end. So what I did is I purchased this device. This is the BenQ Screen Bar for e-reading. It's actually a compact lamp that you can put on top of your monitors when you're working in low lighting conditions and see if it has any benefit and gives you a lot of difference from using the computer screen without any lighting. So let's take a look. Right, so going ahead, opening the box. Let's get rid of that. Pretty compact, straightforward as you can see here. Now we've got the actual screen bar. It's quite slim actually. Let's pull this out quite lightweight. It's going to have a look at that in a second. We also have the clip that goes on top of the monitor. It's got a nice BenQ logo on there, pretty heavy. And lastly, the cable that it gets powered with, which is the standard USB cable. But let's go ahead and actually have a look at the lamp. You've got quite a lot of LED lights inside there.  Right, so you have four buttons along here. So the first one is the power button. The next one is auto dim. So if you want the lamp to detect the lighting condition, whether it's daytime or nighttime, it can dim the lamp accordingly. This next one is the temperature button. So it changes the color and the ambience of the actual light that's delivered from the LED lamps. And this one is the brightness. So you can adjust it, whether you want it to be more brighter or dimmer than actually is manually. So these are the two manual options. So let's go ahead and see how it looks. Now all you have to do is just clip this into there. Now it's got the standard USB port there that you can connect the cable to. And you just have to get that into the back of this. Clip it in and twist the lamp outwards. Twist it out. Just so that the USB port clips into place at the back of the gap on this. As you can see there. Right, so one thing to note is before you put this on top of a monitor, it needs to have a width of about two centimeters, possibly one and a half centimeters, so that the placement of the attachment here can fit comfortably on there without having to worry about it falling off. Also it's worth mentioning that this probably doesn't work well on iMacs. Just because of the actual width of the monitor is actually very thin. It's susceptible to falling off and not sticking on properly, so it needs to have a comfortable attachment onto a monitor. So ideally it would need to be about just over a centimeter to two centimeters width of a monitor. So having a look, this is how you would turn the screen bar on. Now if you wanted to have it dim automatically then you can press this button here and it will detect it via a sensor at the top on the left hand side of the attachment. Next you can control the temperature color of the actual LED lights using this button here and it goes through five different variations. And lastly you can adjust the brightness manually as well using the option on the far left there. Now overall looking at the light I think it's doing a really good job. It is quite bright actually to take away the glare from the screen so it doesn't hurt your eyes as much. Now if I have lighting on behind the monitor it actually still has a very good benefit even though the lighting at the back of the screen is also used for the same purpose but I do recommend having this as an additional prevention from straining your eyes. And not just that I think because it's so compact it doesn't really take up much space. It just fits comfortably on top of a monitor screen just hide the cables along the back. I think it's a great attachment to have on any computer screen in general. I think it looks great. I think it's quite trendy. It's modern. It's sleek and I've heard really good things about it. I'm going to continue using this. I've had it for about a week now and I think it's done a great job and I do recommend anyone that wants to buy this to go ahead and take a look. So I'll leave all the links that you need in the description below. Alright so thanks for watching guys. I do recommend this. This is really compact. It's really good if you use your computer at night time quite a lot. So it's very beneficial. It retails at around £89. I'll leave a link in the description below where you can buy this one from Amazon. But have a look at this. Let me know what you guys think. If you have any questions then please do ask below. Otherwise please do give this video a like and please do subscribe and I will catch you guys next time.
