Thanks! I guess a lot of it is just natural. I've always felt very comfortable in public speaking and I put those skills to use in my job a lot, which helps me to refine them. As far as content creation and specifically this video, no macros, no scripts. The closest I get to scripts is an outline of topics to cover. While developing the content (planning, building, re-planning, rebuilding, etc) I might memorize a line or two (including the occasional dad joke), but I don't write them down. Mostly, I just keep going through it in my head and imagine the audience is someone sitting across the table from me. I need to know how familiar they are with the content so I don't get too technical about things they wouldn't know while not over explaining things like "what is this game in the first place". Knowing who you're presenting to and treating it more like a conversation lets it flow more naturally and I find it sounds and feels far more genuine than reading from a script. If you know what you need to cover, the order in which to cover it, the most important elements to drive home, and who you're talking to, the rest kinda takes care of itself. The recording/editing strategy I use depends mostly on the length of the content. A short tutorial like this needs to be crispy, so I brute force it and keep recording again and again until I nail it. With longer more casual stuff like my speed jog videos (which is basically a lets play), I can accept more derps and "ums" and will typically break things into 5-10 minute clips. If I botch up really bad, sometimes I'll chop up audio and even splice mid sentence if I have to, but this is a hobby channel so I try not to go overboard. Case in point, there are several points in this one where I annotate on the screen when I say the wrong things because after an hour of trying to talk for 5 minutes without a mistake, I said 'screw it, this is good enough'. You'll run up against diminishing returns in virtually any pursuit so it's important to draw the line of quality vs investment, and since I'm doing this for fun, the investment is too high if it's not fun.
Thank you for the layout!
Would be nice of you to share the blueprints :)
you'd think that but its really context specific. if you want a specfic print and I have it, I'm happy to email it
You have decent voice control.
Do you use an auto-clip macro to delete the empty pauses between sentences?
Do you prepare and read from a script?

You do pretty great, especially for a hobby. Here is the auto-clipping macro I was mentioning.

You can store items into the counter or is it just a mod?
No mods, sandbox mode
