Feedback Needed New Motovlogger - Feedback Wanted :)

[TheViking]

Hi Guys,
I'm very new to Motovlogging and have not long created my channel, I have a couple of videos up already but would love your feedback and comments (anything that will help me to improve)
Heres my first motovlog...

Thanks!

First thing I'd suggest is lowering the background music or eliminating it entirely. It's a weird brain notion to want to "tune in" to the song because of the volume it's at vs listen to what you're saying.

lol it is a strange experience talking to yourself xD. I understand that completely, and I think I'm quite crazy sometimes. But it's true because I am lol.

Another preference - possibly cutting out "dead" time entirely, unless the video is primarily showcasing a specific landscape or location.

Practice makes perfect for sure though. You'll get better as you watch your own videos at a later point and make changes according to what you think would work or flow better.

Last tip: KEEP IT FUN! I know of some guys who drained themselves and burned themselves out because the video shooting/vlogging/editing process became more of "work" rather than sharing and "fun". Cheers! Keep the rubber side down \m/

Thanks guys.
I will post my latest video when I’m able to, or you can watch it on my channel. Be interested to see if you think it’s an improvement over my first one.

Enjoyed it. I'm not sure on the music personally but its not distracting so you could get away with keeping it in. Your bossing the thumbnail. Given a sub

I am new to this forum and a beginning moto vlogger as well, my feed back: bike sounds great, your voice volume is a bit low, really enjoyed the scenery, amazing thumbnail, and overall a good first video in my opinion.

Thanks!

I just watched your latest video and the sound has improved, a better balance between voice and motor. I also joined your channel, you have a relaxed way with your speech.

Thanks! That’s great to hear, I’m still working on tweaking my mic placement and will also try to play with my sound settings but glad to know my audio is improving

Thanks for the sub!

Finally got around to watching it. Couple of things I noticed.

You say “um” a lot, and I mean a real lot. You can do one of two things. Be concious of it and try not to (which gets easier with time). Or edit it out. If your going to edit it you get that good at it you get to know what the sound wave looks like and just cut it out.

As for the music. Just make sure it’s not detracting from anything. I use it in some videos and not in others. However I really cut out almost all the spots where I’m not speaking.

Also remember as a new rider you need to put riding first and motovlogging second. It takes some practice to get the hang of riding and committing everything to muscle memory so just be aware of what you are doing.

Good luck with more videos. Be interesting to find out what you think of the 883.

Thanks Lupin,
Some great feedback and things to work on.
I did notice than I said um a lot, and hopefully my later uploads are slightly better.

And I’ll be doing a review of the 883 shortly and some modification videos of a few changes I’ve made.

I’d appreciate your views on my newer motovlogs and any improvements if any

There are great opinions here, I can just add a single one.
When you are mixing the sound, you can lower the motorbike sound a little with software like Goldwave. It may help your vlog more attractive.
