my first youtube video

give me feedback and advice please
and of course your opinion on this video
Nice work! :D

For a "first vid", that was really quite good... well-edited, effectively-narrated, and nicely-paced. You sounded just a tad uncomfortable(?), but much better than I'd expect from a first-timer. ;)

My only suggestion would've been to open with a quick contextual "intro"... nothing elaborate, just 10-15 seconds for a friendly greeting and the basic what-how-why of the knowledge you're about to drop (perhaps as a super-speed preview plays in the background):
''Light's Intro'' could have said:
"S'up gamers... here's an fast method for farming levels 30-40 by grinding Scarlet Monastery. It takes-advantage of a shielded Eye of Kilrogg to grab huge pulls, which can then be slowed and AoE'd all-at-once. This allows you to keep safe and kill fast, all while 'staying loose'. Let me break-it-down for ya'..."
(...or whatever, you get the idea.)

I could see "quick guides" like this having a lot of potential... keep 'em coming!
 
Cool video I like a solid tank so we can aoe more with 3 mages good video excited to see more content from you.
 
to echo what sin'dor said, toss in a quick intro.

also gonna need you to say "stay loose" at least twice in each video. But keep it up man, this is a really good start to what could be an excellent series.

yes your right

honestly idk about that intro i want want to make quick guides that get to the point and not waste time
honestly i was already harsh on myself for extending this to 5 min

I mean they intro doesn't have to be long, they can be single seconds if you really want them to be.

Chops himself is a perfect example with his 60 second f2p guides. He literally just says "Hey guys, Chops here. 60 second warrior guide." then gets right into it, takes like 2 or 3 seconds
 
Good video, however, I would highly recommend explaining at the beginning of the video what the video's purpose is. Like hey this is a guide for yada yada, etc.
 
i would recommend you stop selling bvb
No, I got it from an xpoff member, I'm going to sell it whether you like it or not, so please stop bringing it up. Your post asked for advice, I have multiple videos with 1000+ views, some 10-12,000+ videos, I was just passing along word of advice because you asked for it in your post.

I would like to thank you @Light for the video, I watched it and thanks to watching it I went to SM GY today and everyone that invited me to the AoE group complimented me on how nice I Eye pull mobs.

If I didnt' watch it, I wouldn't even know such a method exists. Props!
your welcome!
makes me feel good inside to hear it actually helped someone

Really good video Lightsauce, you make it look easy :)
NB would never have guessed it was your first vid if you hadn't said so.

Feedback - you have quite a strong accent (well, not for where you live, but presumably you want as wide an audience as possible), I would maybe add some large-font subtitles, not of everything you say, just the key points. That way people can pause on it, to consider your advice. This would be useful for non-English speakers and come to think of it this would also be useful for deaf players too.
