LF2 Commentary Videos

[Kevin]

Hey guys. I'm gonna post LF2 videos with my commentary here.

I'm interested in making commentaries in gaming videos, because with a good commentary, long videos can still be interesting. I read a guide and they said you need a lot of practice, besides of following their tips ;D . So I'm gonna make some commentary videos in the near future. If you guys have a good recording and you want me to add a commentary on it, please tell me and give me the recording.

My goal is to be able to commentate a live game, so I will only try once.

I'm also interested in making videos in which there are 2 or more commentators. We can use Skype call to do that, so in case some of you are interested in practicing commentating games too, we can do it together :P .

Currently I have done one with my own recording.
I will be glad if you will give me constructive critics and feedback of it.

I have tried to minimize 'err' and 'umm' XD even though there are still many silent moments D: .

Yeah, you did a good job. I'd like to know what those guides said to do that you did not do right, cause I can't think of anything. It seems like at the beginning there is not much to talk about, and by stage 29 you're getting tired.

Well, one thing that is really hard to follow is not to explain things that viewers will know even without me mentioning it. The viewers are seeing exactly the same thing, so, as a commentator, we have to use our knowledge so we can explain some more details that people may have not realized or known before.

But something unusual that happens need to be mentioned, because else it will look like we're ignoring it.
