It's pretty cool to see someone doing fun little projects like this. Good luck, TC.

You're the same guy as last time right? You've made some huge improvements. I'm proud.

I'd say from here, work on your narrative elements. Your type of speech and the words you use to tell the story, along with pacing and such will be important moving forward.

What if you had a video of the monster and faded it out to like 5% and layered it on top of the overhead shot of the car? So like you can barely see it and then it fades out altogether. Would that have been spooky too?

If this is what you were going for, then you succeeded and nothing is missing. I was asking you tbh ;)

Too many still images?
Did the story have a point?
Etc

Did it happen? ;)
Is it worth writing about? ;)

  • Streamline your thumbnails and video titles. They're a mess and excessively dropping hashtags in video titles makes your content look unprofessional and hastily-made.
  • Settle into appealing to a certain audience you want. If you make too much short-form content, you need to tailor the presentation to fit the tone expected of the average SFV on the platform. That said, if you're going to make a traditional video, stretch it out so it's at least five minutes.
  • Work on your voice, if you can. It doesn't really fit into the horror story atmosphere but you certainly don't want to try sounding like an idiot like Chills or Nexpo. Content aside, you always want to straddle the line between sounding natural and comfortable and giving the slight impression that you're a professional reading from a script.
  • Don't mention giveaways or promotions until you've got more subscribers and commenters. It's a nice gesture but makes it come off like you desperately want subs instead of just wanting to make content.
  • Make content you enjoy and are interested in making. Don't look at YouTube as a money/numbers game, but be mindful of how things work.

I appreciate those tips my voice is something i been working on but having a heavy NJ accent makes it difficult. The lisp lol

Okay, I have watched the video now and can give you an actual pointer instead of a picture of the dog breed. Try not run on like you do at about 15 seconds in. There was a few buts and a few ands. Try to make your sentences more concise. Other than that it was good. So many of the spooky channels go on with stories for a hour or more and I like having shorter stories every once and awhile.

I can hear you breathing way too much. Either get an audio editor and remove those breaths (keep a pause) or pull a tay zonday and move away from the mic when you breathe
