@SorAuron thanks man! I appreciate the support! Are you making videos while doing your projects as well? If so, I'm interested and will have to check your content out! God bless, and best of luck with all of your endeavors!

Thanks man! I appreciate the support! Thank you for watching!

What are some channels that narrate their videos? The only restoration channels I've watched are either silent, or have music in the background. I'm not opposed to narrating them, but I'd like to see some others that do it well so I can get a feel for their style. When to talk, when not to talk, etc... Thanks for watching. I'll reply back to this thread if I've posted one with narration to let you know I took your critique into consideration and switched things up. God bless.

@@cleanrestorations I watch channels where they repair machines or electronics of various types. The charismatic owner gives a running commentary, as the video progresses, However, even they would have a difficult task of making an interesting video of cleaning an old axe. The names of a few of these channels would be "The Post Apocalyptic Inventor", "Mustie1", "Marty T", "Adrian's Digital Basement ][", Adrian's Digital Basement ][", "Mr Carlson's Lab", to name just a handful. However, I do appreciate that all these are well established channels. Where the uploader has a lot experience in the tasks they complete.

Thanks for the references man. I'm intrigued, and I'll check them out and see if I can put a video together that's closer to your preferences. You're probably not alone in liking the narrations, so I'm curious to see how other viewers respond to it. Thanks again for watching, and I appreciate your input! God bless.

@@cleanrestorations There's no need to make a video just for me. That wouldn't work. Your objective should be to make a video, that appeals to as many people as possible. Interestingly, there are channels where the uploader gets a lot of views, even though they're not providing any voice-over guiding you on what they're doing. This tends to be the ones, where the provider does not speak English. They could use a robot voice, but then it sounds fake. Personally, I find silent videos boring. Partly, this is because you have to keep your eyes fixed on the screen to follow what's going on. This stops you doing something else at the same time. I'm often repairing something myself, whilst I watch the video. Some content providers have the ability to make you want to keep watching their content. As they say, first impressions last. The viewer soon decides whether they want to invest their time in watching your uploads, or they don't. You either have it, or you don't. Personally, I don't. Maybe, you do? That's up to you to find out.

I thought about your input last night, and I genuinely liked where it was taking me. It would be nice to at least hop onto a voiceover and thank people for watching, ask them if there's anything specific they'd like to see restored by a small channel that reads all of their comments that maybe a bigger channel would skim over. It'd be cool to engage with the viewers more. Maybe I couldn't fill the whole video with commentary on what I was doing because the bulk of what I do is just basically hand-sanding, but I could make some general comments on the history of the items, how they ended up in my hands, how long the sanding process took (sometimes it's 5 or 6 hours) or even just let people in on steps I screwed up, injured myself, etc... it's an interesting idea, and I'm grateful for your advice. Some people just click off of the video without an explanation. You let me know what you didn't like about it, and I can actually work with that so I am genuinely appreciative of that, and will play around with your idea. Maybe find a balance between my style, and a style closer to what you find more entertaining.
