YouTube Script or Wing It?

[Textrus]

Hello, I'm really curious to know that when you do commentaries, do you have your words all written out and you know exactly what to say, or do you just say things as time goes on and hope it all makes sense. I get a little nervous when I do this and thus sound like a complete dumbass sometimes.

For something like this:

Do you think this is scripted or just basically going with the flow?

I also want to see how other Freedom! members do this as well, so please leave some feedback.

Thanks

For me, I used to use a script with a list of things to talk about in the video so I don't sound like a robot. But I have a monotone voice so I just read off scripts.

for me the olny time i have used a script was when i made my youtube intro... i just talk as i go

Most of the time I wing it in my videos, which is why I often go off topic for a few seconds or ask very silly hypothetical questions, though if I'm doing a review video then I will often have some points ( I guess you could say to some extent a script) to make sure I cover everything I need to

I do a bit of both depends what my video is about. if a review i make notes and read over them a few times before starting.
if not i just wing it and try to remember to do pauses just in case i have to edit that part out

 

[AnimeGG World]

it really depends on your content
Like say if you do how to video or a random skit

I tend to record my narrations with a topic or two that I want to talk about and just blab into my mic. I usually do 2 or 3 takes because I figure out how to say things in a better and more concise way as I redo it

Well i only did one video so far and i wrote it.

 

[Showcase One]

it!

I find that onyoutube videos, unless your doing a tutorial, information or buisiness video, it seems unnatural to script it.

Just wing it! Go to your local supermarket, but a chicken. Grab the wing and record your video!

The first time I've ever actually scripted anything is when I created my second channel. But for the 3 years before that, I've just been saying whatever.

Depends on personal preference and type of video. For the most part though just wing it.

I make point form notes on what stuffs to talk about on my vids, but most of the time i just say things as it goes by.

When I do my commentaries I wing it all the time. I usually have an idea of what I'm going to say or some points I will hit, but I almost never write it down. Plus winging it can bring out some funny random funny phrases if you're a funny creative person. You can write a script if you're worried about sounding weird or not making sense.

winging it and if you have a topic to talk about make a little cheat sheet with bullet points it surely can help

I would say mixture

I have a couple video's with commentary in the past and always go by feeling. Along the way you just talk about what your doing and what your going to do.

I wing it unless it's for review I write my thoughts just to make sure I say everything that I can say in the review
