HUGE thank you to everyone sharing their videos to be roasted! Also thank you for letting me have fun with this one. Of course I’m planning to do more roast-style videos from different angles to be as helpful as possible in the future. You’re doing great work!

Nate’s Team: Aka his wife here. Glad I could start learning to edit videos with this one 😂🎬 how’d it turn out?

One tip I use for folks using background music in the video is “subtractive EQ.” Put a vocal EQ setting on you voice audio and then put that same EQ setting on the music, BUTTTTT reverse all the settings. This creates a space for your vocals to sit so that they always stand out and the music better sits under that voice track. Hope this is helpful!

Ha! My husband physically started to walk away at the fake outro. Excellent illustration for me of a great point.

I have learned enough from you over the years that I don't do "like, subscribe, comment, etc." but what I cannot keep myself from doing is saying "HELLO" at the beginning of the video! (I actually say "hi folks!") Maybe its just the nice midwesterner in me that HAS to welcome someone into a room. Maybe the solution is to script yourself saying hello....knowing that you are going to cut that out or move it a bit later in the video. So you can turn the camera on, say hello to get it out of your system, and still follow Nate's rules. :) Thanks for a great video!

Nate cleaning out all of the 2017 KZfaq standards :D

I love your own channel so much! It is amazing how you manage to surprise, make laugh and give value with little editing. Thanks again :)

I definitely need to work on my intros and outros (or rather, work on not doing them), but one thing I do think I have been doing ok is my eye contact. I film without being able to see myself at all, so there is no temptation to be watching myself or straightening my hair etc, I’m just looking straight at the lens.

Nate the comedian! Haha 🤣 this didn’t even feel like learning but rather a comedy show. I enjoyed it all the through, and yes I did learn too haha.

I laughed at the thumbnail because I was guilty of it 😆 I am restarting my channel and I avoid it

This was some go old fashion Nate energy back, Gold for short! Nice job, educational as always! Cheers for sharing your experience, Stay safe, have fun! 👍👌👊✋

Great callout regarding the music volume when editing with headphones. Have had that happen too many times

honestly that last outro that you were unable to roast was so damned good it should have 10x - 100x the amount of views it has

That thumbnail and title are so funny I involuntarily clicked! I am rethinking my outros for sure

Howdy Nate! I lost track of you during your KZfaq transition, but I'm thrilled to have found your wisdom and adorable curly hair again. ✌️🤠

Thanks everyone who volunteered to be roasted. I'm so grateful. xxxxx Learning so much from the roasts. Thanks, Nate.

Getting to the content as fast as possible always works! No intro or 1 sentence intro that's it. Eye contact with camera is a must! Solid video Nate!

Nate is the evidence that having the freedom of your own channel can definitely maximize your potential. Loving the new channel man

One of your best videos, Nate! Really enjoyed the info and energy.

Yeah whenever there's an "intro" chapter I'm just skipping it.

i love this format of just blunt feedback, i do this stuff when giving feedback to my friends and i love seeing this straight forwardness

Nate, I recently discovered your KZfaq channel a few weeks ago and subscribed right away. And the reason? You are absolutely hilarious. I almost laugh out loud at your videos. Well, maybe I do do a bit of a chuckle. Thank you for making learning about KZfaq entertaining as well as informative. Wishing you the very best of beginnings ! Dawn

I've been flipping my screen away so I stop looking at it. Then it's really easy to focus on the lens. But then I filmed a short and my usually perfect sony cam focused on the background instead of me

Great info coming our way Nate... Lot of things to Learn and PRACTICE to make it more regular in my videos.

Thanks Nate for those reminders. Yes, I sometimes don't look right at the audience and my outros are well, an outro. I'll have to play around with that to see if it makes a difference! Thanks again!

I rewound the “Ha! You thought the video was over didn’t you?!” part like 20 times because it really caught me off guard! Another amazing video Nate! -P

Thank you, Nate, for all your help and amazing content!👍👍

That was really good. Enjoyed it immensely😉. Will keep in mind these tips, always love your roasting videos.

Thank you as always! I look forward to my free time to learn from from you and what you share! There is always more to learn!

Yay a roast! Nate Black Roasts are a vibe. 😂 People like being trolled when it’s funny. You nailed it. 👏👏 I hate intros, sometimes I put something important at the beginning of a video so people have to go back to find what they missed. 😈 It works every time I do it.

One of the first topics I learned at Broadcasting school was camera to eye contact was VERY important. All your points err...roast were good examples of what NOT to do. Good video there Nate 🤠

Very helpful video but so fun too! 😂

You are too funny, Nate! Always love your advice too - still one of my go-to people to improve my channel!

At the fake outro I was thinking how could this be over already!! I was enjoying the video so much! Great video, funny but with great points.

Great sharing😁💜 I’m giggling when you did the stare countdown😂😂

That was fun Nate😂 Loved the staring contest! I'm learning everyday🤙 Thanks😁

Be yourself. There’s only one of you and that is what will make you unique. YOU GOT THIS!

Maybe the funniest video I‘ve seen so far from you. And full of worth information as always.

Great roasts! It was brilliant how, after "failing" to find a roastable outro, you put one in your video!

LOL I was watching your video full screen and was about to press the "exit full screen" button at 4:15, before you rudely interrupted my exiting of your video. Made me laugh thought! You're doing amazing work Nate!

I was just thinking after watching this: This video feels a bit like a half time pep talk of a good coach who encourages his team to up their efforts in a motivating way. It feels like: Let's keep this talk short so that the team has more time to invest in their own preparations and plans. There is no benefit in a talk that goes on and on and on. Well balanced timing here!

That... was an awesome vid. Feels like you are finding your Nate space again!!!!!

4:30 Omg you got me so bad here Nate. I was about to watch another video to watch as you said that then saw that the video isn't over yet! Also I love the energy in this video and thank you for the advices! You never fail to teach us valuable things to do as a content creator.

Great tips! Especially the part about the "outro". Have to lead them into another adventure or wanting more.

I love this video. It is one of the most helpful and funniest videos at the same time. Very informative, love it. Thank you very much Nate for this amazing video to teach content creators how to succeed in KZfaq. 😊👍

Your energy is contagious! Keep up the "bonfire" and keep on roasting! 🖖

Great work as usual Nate (boop) My pet peeve videos are when they start off saying how they’ve been away or it’s a long time since they last posted. They then promised to post on a regular basis or that this is a new beginning. Typically they don’t post much more and fade away.

Love the subtle easter egg jokes Nate! Especially the text at the end!

I think that telling someone to subscribe is not gonna work, but I always forget to like the video until they remind me

😂😂You won the staring contest-I looked away!? This was great advice as usual!!🔥🔥

Great stuff in this video, so many points I've written down and need to start applying in my videos! I'm guilty of a lot of these! Thanks so much for the great tips!

Laughing out loud at the expressions on Nate's face as the videos play 😂 so very fantastic! Thanks for the humour and tips 👏

I’ve learned a lot by watching you. I’ve been having hard time looking directly in the camera. Part of it is shyness and the other part is I got a new phone and the lens is different than my old phone. I’ll get it right on the next video!

Such a fan of the new channel and you mixing in more of your style. 🤙🏼

Fan-tas-tic! Love this video Nate. Especially appreciate the music volume comments.

Outros are fire in metal detecting videos and coin roll hunting videos, because they do a wrap up of what they found, to me it's the most entertaining part of the video seeing all the treasure side by side

Yes! Intros are the best thing to fix these days. I’ve been really working to improve mine. I’m really starting to get a feel for what won’t work it feels. Now I just need to figure out how to think about what to do right. 😜 Thanks for the tips Nate!

Catching up on your videos and this one was so good! 😄

Yes! Music you hear on an album or on a tv show - was mastered. This means it’s been calibrated to sound well on multiple devices! For each of my videos, I set the music at what I think is the appropriate level. Then I export the video. THEN I send it to my phone. Then I play it on my phone. The music is always more quiet on my phone. So for me I usually go back to the computer and turn the volume UP. Music is a very interesting thing. In fact sometimes when my music is too quiet, my video sounds LOUD. That’s because you have to turn the volume up high to hear everything. Which results in my vocals being way too loud. In fact by increasing the music volume, the viewer can listen to the video at a lower volume while having everything sound equal. So don’t forget to test your audio and play it back! Music on albums has been MIXED and MASTERED.

This was great! Well done Nate! Helpful too! 👏🏻

Just watching this again, and your (non)outro is a work of genius :)

Nate you always make me smile! And sometimes laugh out loud. :) Thank you for great teachings.

It’s an honor to be roasted by Nate. I’m a little envious 😅

Great stuff as always Nate. I dive right in from the get go. People have no attention spans. haha

Thanks for your part in raising the standard of KZfaq vids and also showing us how to do that too.

Man that was so funny. God knows what you would think of me but I’m trying..Cheers for the ongoing advice Buddy.

I’ve been watching you for years and you are crushing it in this one.

3:31 and it’s always this blasted track that is being used when the music is loud 💀💀💀

Yes! I learned. Thank you, Nate! 🥰

yay!! Roast!! And you are Back To The Black Attack! You could have a weekly roast just to remind the community Who's The Boss (hint: not bruce springstein). Your humour is on point. Very practical and hopelessly fun.

This is obviously my favourite youtube teaching video ever. Grateful to KZfaq's algorithm for leading me to this content and I want to say big thank you for this video. Since I start my KZfaq, always trying, learning, and sometimes difficult. This video like guide for me. I watch and think "Yes, yes, yes!", like I see my past and current mistakes more clearly and more precisely. This video very clear show problem and also tell good advice. For beginner like me, very helpful. I watch finish, feel like big energy come to me. Still not sure how to do everything right, but now I have more courage to keep going. Thank you KZfaq for show me your video at good time.

great stuff, very insightful learning from the mistakes in these channels

There's always something new to learn. Thanks Nate

I felt there was only one real roast in this entire video, and then that particular roast then was absolutely savage. It's like you poured all of your roasting energy into one person🤣. The video had a ton of helpful advice still, and was super entertaining, but you pulled a few punches.

😂 Loving this video. Hoping to see more in the future!

Last line was epic 😄😄🫠- "This channel is not for everyone but this channel is for you."

Great video as usual. During the staring contest my eyes were getting itching. I was wondering how long it was gonna last but glad it was just 5 seconds lol that is all

I love your videos Nate. I’ve liked, subscribed, clicked the notification bell and left a comment 😁☀️

i got way from making videos but now that i found your new channel i feel like it maybe time to get back to it. you make me want to do videos again. thank you. can't wait to see you go over one million

Over the years I found that being genuine goes a long way. I do occasionally ask people to like my videos at the end if I feel like it fits in, and other times I'll recommend a similar video and give a reason why they should watch it, and that seems to work incredibly well. Now, a lot of the time I just end my videos by wishing people a good day and I have a feeling that gets them press the like button more than asking them to press the like button... It was confusing at first, because so many people talk about calls to action, but the implementation isn't as easy as just asking for people to do something. Especially asking someone to subscribe is kind of...intrusive. I want people to make that decision themselves.

The micro roasting here makes me want to make more videos so that one day Nate has something to roast on my channel

This is the best video I’ve watched in a week. Why did I actually participate in the staring contest and laugh historically?😅

Great video😊. Enjoying watching while learning from you.

Oh my gosh... he got me with the ending!!!🤣😂🤣 (Love all your videos!!)

Loved the self-roasting outro

You caught me with that not-outro xD such a fun video!!!

This may be your best video so far on this channel

Ok, with that outro you got me. Greatest learning of the day! Thanks Nick :p

clever, as soon as your outro voice came out, i instantly reached for my mouse to get ready to click away. Always good information here

this is why i follow nate, not because i need help on youtube

This ... was a wild ride. Full of value and good energy!!!

Now personally I can tolerate an intro to a video if it helps to set up the video that one is watching. As long as it’s short and snappy. 👍 But hey everyone is different as for what works and what doesn’t. It really all depends on what’s good business to them.

This is definitely something I need to work on!! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for sharing this! I know my videos are boring and I'm trying to get better. There's only so much excitement available when splitting firewood and repairing equipment. I have a lot to learn and videos like this one really help!

Dang, I was so close to swiping away in your fake outro! That hit me hard with realizing how easy it is to let people move on without finishing 😮

That was so funny! When you wound down for the-end-that-wasn't-the-end I minimized the screen and almost clicked away...we are so conditioned! All great points, all well delivered... what's not to love? 😘 👍 👏

you always cheer me up nate

This is amazing. Nate is the roast king!

man, the humour in this vid 😂 love it. kind of wish it was a little bit longer

Learned so much! Thank you.
