Do you mind telling me if I suck or not?

I think you're adorable and I really liked the outfits you put together.

NO, you do not suck. Keep at it and continue to have fun. You’ll get better with the passage of time. Now is the time to grow a thick skin because YT commenters can be unduly savage. Good luck!

“I watched an advice video that says you need to make 100 crappy videos before you get any good at it. I've got 4 so far.”

I haven’t watched your video yet, but I will say that I’ll bet their 100 crappy videos didn’t get posted. The more time you spend videotaping yourself, the better you’ll get. But if you’re not happy with early results, nobody says you have to publish them.

I’ve done a few videos just for a FB group I’m in, and I’ve done so many retakes just for those. Then I was challenged to do FB live and oh my word, my first was terrible! But it was in a safe space.

I watched your very first video, that’s all I have time for right now. I love you! You’re engaging. And I love your voice. You did a great job with edits.

I wish you the best on your journey!

First off, I watched a few of your videos and you are freaking adorable! The only criticism I have is your intro music is loud compared to your speaking voice, which is soft and beautiful. I would maybe turn that down a bit to more match the level of your speaking voice. I think the lighting was great, editing was great and the length of the videos were great. Keep up and I wish you much luck...plus I subscribed!

Good for you! I watched your capsule wardrobe and was inspired! You have a cute personality, do a good job explaining, and it was interesting. Keep up the good work.

First, I think you have an adorable and compelling personality and would love working with you and being friends in real life.There are some great microphones out there that can help with the audio, because you do have a soft voice. (Pretty sure all the big YouTubers and podcasters use them. They make your voice very clear, like a radio broadcaster.)

My only real advice is that you are going to suck in the beginning of any new thing you try, so keep making your videos and moving forward. (I didn't think the ones I watched sucked though, btw...)

I am sure there are YouTube videos out there on how to gain subscribers, enhance the audio, write compelling content, etc. Several years ago I went to a convention called VidCon. (It was in Anaheim, but may have since moved to Vegas.) This is a YouTuber convention. I went bc my child wanted to go and meet some of her favorite YouTubers. (I had no idea at the time that there were YouTube celebrities and channels. It was very eye opening. When I was looking through what the convention had to offer, it included panels on how to become a successful YouTuber. I was going to attend those while my DD and her friend met YouTubers, but I ended up standing in lines for them. LOL. It was her birthday gift, so I didn't mind. Needless to say, I did not attend the panels, so I don't know how detailed or helpful they were. There is probably plenty of information on the internet though.

Good luck in your endeavor. Hope you have fun in the process!

ETA- Vidcon is still in Anaheim. It's in June

Okay. Let's see. I've been on YouTube for about 13 years. I have a small subbie count; only 2700. It should be more but my videos are pretty niche, and I haven't put up much in the last couple of years. However I WATCH videos every day. All different kinds. Here are my thoughts.

You seem to have a good handle on the editing. Good for you! I still can't edit!
I had trouble hearing you on a couple of the videos, even with both my volumes turned to max, so speak up or use a mike.
I think you have a good idea of the type of videos you want to make. Watch lots of similar videos for ideas.
Sitting talking with no movement, no editing, just you, is VERY hard to make interesting. You need to be very animated for this to work. You also need to really think about your background as people will be looking at it, as well as at you. You need to be a good storyteller if you want to do this kind of video, and you're going to need to work on your skills. Again, watch others who do this well for ideas. Two that come to mind for me are Graveyard Girl (who is way over the top, but certainly not boring), and Jessica Kellgren-Fozard. Both are great at just talking. Here are links: Jessica, Bunny (Graveyard Girl).

Now, let's tackle the elephant in the room, as it were. Your voice. Yes, it is very unusual. As I mentioned, you really need to be aware of your volume. But you are going to have to learn to use it to your advantage. I was recently watching someone else who had a similar voice, and she sort of made it a bit of a joke. "Yeah, I know my voice sounds like I'm twelve, but I'm not, I swear!" She didn't take herself seriously, but she did address it. I thought that was smart. You might also want to think about an intro. Maybe you always say, "Hi, this is Nicole and yes, this is my voice. Great, isn't it?" Or something like that. To stand out, it really does help to be a bit bigger than life, especially when you're trying to build a channel. Oh, and you'll need to be putting out a LOT of content. The more days a week you load videos, the better. 

I hope this was helpful. Good luck!

1. You don’t suck.

2. You are cute.

3. Your voice is sweet.

4. I love your hair.

5. You made me laugh. Several times.

6. I loved “I only need to be half-decent.” That could be my mantra.

Good job! Great luck to you. I subscribed.

I only watched a few minutes of about 3 videos. Honestly, I don't have a problem with your voice.

I second the part about the volume when you are talking. Too many smaller creators talk as if they are trying not to wake other people in the house. Or they just don't realize that their computer mic is not that great.

For me you kind of talk a little slow. I need a little faster pace in order not to lose interest. Hope that is not mean, but that is just how it is for me. I feel it is almost like you have not thought through what you plan to say,

Good luck with your channel!

I’ll definitely watch tomorrow - it’s half one here so I’mjust off to bed .

“Whatcha doing here?” 😂😂😂

You do not suck!  You are adorable!  I liked, commented, and subscribed.

I don’t look for fashion or makeup videos, but your capsule wardrobe video was really good! You have a great sense of humor and as others have said, great comedic timing.   I actually LOLed at your comment about the spring outfit that might look better on... fire! 🤣 I don’t think you suck at all, and with more practice you will only get more and more polished.

If I had to find anything that would make me like it a little more, it would maybe be to shorten how long you show each outfit at the end. I definitely liked seeing all of the variations you came up with and I liked the way you called attention to the different jewelry or shoes, I just would have liked that part to be sped up just a bit. Once I had seen each different piece on, it was easier to recognize it in subsequent outfits. It might also be neat to have sort of a collage of still photos at the very end of all the outfits together showing the different combinations side by side if that makes sense.
