No run on sentences full of “ands.” No “ums” or “uhs.” Complete sentences. Complete thoughts. A recognizable point of view. Organized content. Professional and relatable. Many YouTubers could learn a lot from your videos. Love your content. Keep it up.

Great video. I still remember my first proper YouTube paycheck. I was so proud of myself. If it wasn't for my consistency (and a little bit of Famester), I wouldn't have made anything probably.

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Refreshing to hear someone so well spoken. Clear, concise and articulate.

[FrancescoGarganese]

I'm not a musician, I'm a flight and aeronautical instructor, but I found your video full of right reflections and valuable advices. Especially the final one, where you tell to be yourself and to continue to make videos and do what you love not for success, but to nourish your spirit.
Thanks for what you said.

[DavidBennettPiano]

We make money so we can make music, not the other way around. As long as you are doing what you love and you have enough money coming in to keep doing it, then you’re doing it right 😊

[tonecaster]

"...its a long road to build your audience up
and the urge to quitt is going to be ever present"
so true for all creators.
thank you Mary for continuing your path!

[OFallons]

Mary, you are a most gracious, articulate, clear, concise speaker who is able to bring one into your space in the presentation of your topic, as if engaged within a personal communication. Thank you. ❤

[dmorthanj]

I just stumbled onto this... Impressed by your candor. Haven't watched anything else you've created yet, but looking forward to it. And thank you for being real 😊

[theothersmith]

Don’t ever stop making and publishing your original music, Mary. Some of us are here for it.

I'm not a musician (lol) and I enjoy your voice, music and presented personality.
Those YT metrics don't mean one single thing which measures your value.
What keeps me here is you, your honesty & healthy intelligent conversations. Even though you don't see my face, I'm seeing yours and will do my best to reflect what you give every time.

[handsfree]

Mary, this is what you are best at. Narrating with that velvet voice and intelligent thought process

[johnbassett]

I love how you articulate and describe so concisely. I wish you great success. Your integrity and authenticity will always take you far. Passion for what you’re doing is a wonderful driving force.

[jrdlabs]

Mary, you're one of my 'go-to' YouTubers. One reason.... your videos are always well produced, no matter the content. Your mike technique, approach and style of narration are absolutely pro. I appreciate that, being a broadcast professional of 40 years. I have zero patience with content creators who sound like the mic is in a room, but it's just not the room from which they're speaking. Bad edits, no economy of words, are other turn offs. Another I really enjoy your singing. I think you have a great voice. You've heard the expression, "she could sing the phone book"? Well, although I wouldn't recommend you try it, (although it might be interesting) it's kinda like that. Third reason.... you're all in! I can tell that you're fully committed to your career, your music and this channel. I love being privy to your journey. All that being said, I'm dumbfounded by how little you've been paid for 4, 700, 000 views. It's just surprising. Knowing this, I'm even more impressed with your level of commitment. I wish you the best.

[yunggrandma]

Thank you so much for being transparent Mary! So few folks are these days. Your transparency and integrity are two of the things I really admire about you, and your new music is sounding fantastic!

[NigelJames]

What a brilliantly transparent piece.

Somehow I found you because of the algorithm and you are right we just need to be ourselves and take the long view.

Keep on keeping on Mary.

[Eric_Kole]

Not a musician, but a filmmaker, and you're video still resonated with me... you're right, there's never-ever been a better time to take control of your own creativity.

[smoorej]

Great video. People subscribe for many reasons. For me it’s your honesty, integrity, wysiwyg personality, original music and absolutely magnificent singing and speaking voice that will keep me coming back as long as you continue your journey. I’d love to see every video of yours hit tens of millions of views. You deserve it.

[stevesanders]

This is exactly why I try to watch everything you post. I am not a musician or have any ability in that field. Yet, your advice about being who you are naturally AND about remaining in contact with your audience (customer base) works for every career path. Well done, Mary. You be you. No one does you better than you do.

[dubasciver]

I stumbled across your channel. I haven’t listened to your music but I think your communication skills are outstanding. I love the no ‘fillers’, clean enunciation, and complete thoughts as someone else mentioned. Beautiful! You could go into broadcasting.

[SimplyAubs]

YESS!!! Thanks for sharing with us! I'm GLAD that you start off with it's not all "sunshine and rainbows" But it's a LOT of HARD WORK!!!
