Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it

Sorry been watching Champions League - Have had a look now nice info and i will keep an eye out for more although admittedly i do try and stay away from gameplay vids of this game until i have completed it, which i imagine at my rate of progress should only take me about another three years

All the same if you are running around ringing the first couple of bells i am safe to watch up to there i think

Very much looking forward to watching when I get home.

Very nice video Wade, however I will say there are two noticable things you need to work on. Your accent is fine, I mean sure if you want to get into it some Americans might have problems with it but the real issue is it sounds like you are a bit nervous when speaking. Which, yeah it's understandable. I remember my first time acting and still sometimes when I meet new casting directors I'm a bit wavering in my voice but it will just take some practice to get around that. Making sure to read a script out loud possibly to a friend can help though it might feel a bit odd asking a friend to listen to you prepare for a youtube video.

I noticed something going on with the sound, you may have been moving away from the mic or doing something with your settings or on your computer to cause a fade. There are points where your voice while it sounds like it should be loud gets quiet and fades a bit then resurfaces. If you know the cause you should try and fix that because it does happen fairly often.

All in all though it was a good video, though probably you should put up some more interesting footage in the background for future videos as you speak over it. Possibly things relating to the talk or PvP in the background will always keep people watching.

Good luck man, and keep up the work.

i enjoyed the video... keep it up, and lets see some more please!

FINALLY

Also, nice bit of Irish accent ya got there laddie. It's so faint I can't tell which it is :|

Judging by the "wee" you slap in there you could be scottish though

Your best line by far "Should take you all of 10 seconds to find it you cheating scumbag" that's actually brilliant.

Yeah I kept moving my mouth away from the mic since I kept feeling the need to cough. Thats for the feedback, I didnt have any other footage to put in but I'll be sure to have more interesting footage next time.

Make sure before recording next time that you clear your throat and drink some water, and have some water on hand. As well with the practicing of the script, practice saying syllables and any letters that you may find difficult. Just a bit of an exercise to get the mind in the right place as well as making sure your mouth is doing what you want it to. I remember my first time having to talk in front of people, and it does take some getting used to. I know its no different for commentaries.

I think I take a drink of water about halfway through the video, but I'll definately try practice my syllables and prepare a rudementary script.

Nice, I enjoyed it.

Me too. Looking forward to more. From your voice I would've guessed you were at least in your late 20s, btw!
