lets play Youtube: first voice com video

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

this was my first ever voice com video I uploaded to youtube, i know at some points you can hear me, I'm improving. anyway to the video, enjoy mates

I also had a bit of a cold when i recorded, so my voice is a little croaky

Is it me or does the audio seem a bit low?

 

Also, not to come off as rude, but what's a voice com? I'm not sure what that is exactly.

 

Sorry.

voice com is just shortened for voice commentary, I tried to turn the volume down so you could hear me over the game sound at some points it helped

Voice Commentary.

 

I would suggest using audacity to record your voice while you play, keeping your vocal file separate to your video audio one, i had this problem when i first started making videos. I record video with fraps and voice work with audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) just make sure to start recording vocals before video, then count in for when you start the recording. It'll hell you keep audio synced properly.

Let's Play videos belong in the Non Pony art section of Octavia's hall. Cause, well, they are their own sort of art form, really. There is even a tag you can add specifically for "Let's Play" videos. (Which I shall slap in there for you.) :3

Just from the first few minutes, I can give you a little bit of advice for editing and recording.

 

The snippet of music used in the intro is a lot louder than everything that comes after that. Turn the intro volume down a bit in your editing software so that it's around the same decibel level as your gameplay.

 

On the same volume balancing note, if you're recording with Fraps but don't want to record the mic seperately, right click the speaker icon in the system tray and open the Volume Mixer.

When there, turn the Steam client down by a lot and boost your mic volume.

 

To adjust the volume for the microphone, right click the speaker icon again and go to recording devices.

Double clicking on whatever device you use will let you play around with it.

^{This pic is the Windows Vista Volume Mixer. Not sure what OS you use, but it'll probably look similar.}

 

Hopefully I've been helpful. Look forward to your next vid
