Hi everyone :) While browsing the forum, I noticed a lot of people trying to make their place in the cruel world of Youtube. And it's all right ! I'd like to be a part of that world too :) But I've also noticed some "mistakes" here and there, things people could improve on, and so I decided to start this thread !

I'm not sure how the rules should be, I'd love to have your ideas on that. My thought is : You have to give an honest opinion on someone's video, like a "critique", you know ? Saying what things could be improved, if it's interesting to watch or not, for what audience maybe ? Is it too long ? Too short ? Is the quality just too low ? We have to try to hit a nice balance between not discouraging people, and yet try to be honest towards them and tell them if what they are doing requires more work.

So, I'm gonna try with one of mine to begin with. It is my very first Speed Build. I would love for you to tell me, as honestly as possible, how you feel while watching this video. Now if a video is too long (mine is about 10 minutes), and if you're just not interested enough to watch it for that long, I think you should say it !

Remember, the goal is to help each other. Words may hit a bit hard, but you know what they say : No pain, no gain.

    Honestly, for me 12 minutes for a build video is on the shorter side. :D Most builders I watch go for 20-25 minutes which to me isn't really a problem. The building process and explaining everything going on is usually enjoyable enough that time tends to just fly. If you don't want to do a 20+ minute voice over, that's totally understandable, but I'd say don't be afraid to go longer if you think you can.

    Well thank you for your replay @ListentoToppDogg
    I did end up making longer speed builds, my last one is about 30 minutes long ( https://youtu.be/0nAsjZQq8Bs )

    I also lost faith in this post haha I didn't think someone would reply. Where's your video though ? :)

    @Nazgune Oh, I'm not a Youtuber, I just saw that no one had replied yet so I thought I would in case you were still interested. Especially since I tend to watch a lot of builders on YT.

    It's good to know that you're okay doing longer voice overs. Also minor thing, but I noticed that you didn't include any screenshot at the end of your videos. I know a lot of builders also do that, so if you're okay with that, you might consider it. Just a thought, you don't have to.

    Your houses are nice. I wish you luck with your channel. :)

    I just started my simming channel! I'm not good at commentary right now so half of the video's been shortened. I would really like some critiques!

    I'm producing a soap opera using Sims 4...it's set in a retro-futuristic setting because I think the Sims does the designs and look for retro-future really well. Anyway, I use basic editing software and try to "direct" my Sims to create performances but sometimes they like to "improvise" shall we say. Anyway, I submit this for criticism with a view to improving things in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HmaekQhG7M&amp;feature=youtu.be

    Hey I loved you twist on the 100 Baby Challenge! As far as a critique goes I think the quality, sound and visual, were both pretty spot on. The only thing is maybe the intro was a little long? I think it was 9-ish seconds of the name coming up before the video. I think some people may click away or just fast forward from that part.

    Other than that great idea! XD
