i really appreciate kevin de bruyne taking time of his schedule to teach us about script writing

[Nicoleleclairphotography]

This is valuable! Thank you so much. Just at the very beginning of my journey here and grateful for knowledge like this.

Much love on this video. Great content. However, I gotta level with you, your mic placement just doesn't work. It's so distracting I wanna click off. Get it up and outta frame, or drop it to the usual spot. Apart from that, excellent work.

[VigneshDhakshinamoorthy]

This high quality video deserves more views.

Jamie, thanks for doing this was great to get guidance and identify where I am on script really handy to have nice clear 6 bullet points to follow for my next step in development on YouTube!

[axlent]

Beau is stellar!!!! An inspiration for my content…. Minus the running…

[PeytosBusiness-ewvu]

bullet points is about as far as I got in writing a script and it was very effective!

[atomic_stories]

another hit, Jamie. Scriptwriter content for the win!😊

[joshuashediak]

awesome video man, thanks so much for all this free value! Also really clean thumbnail, I'm a sucker for blue and yellow complimentary colours

What do I really think about this video?
I found it through researching script writing and found it to be excellent in all aspects, pace, content as well as delivery techniques. An all round great video. I will certainly be saving it for future reference as I have a lot to learn from
Just a thought, it would be an amazing and an interesting project to adopt a very small niche subject channel and conduct a step by step guide on how to pull it round.
Thank you for making and sharing this content.

I am just starting to Youtube. so this is really helpful for me

As someone watches a lot of videos, there was two ways I subscribed, one of the youtubers gives drawing lessons and he says in the beggining of the video something like "all of this for free? no, all I ask is a like and a subscribe" it made me think "wow yeah this is really good concentet for free". The other one was the diary of a CEO where he tell us that most of his viewrs arent subscribed. So one of those times I did ;)

This video is useful but it’s painfully slow. I recommend speeding up the clips 10%-15% faster in post, as long as it doesn’t look obvious you sped it up or sound bad (pitch changes). Simple tweak to keep your audience more engaged.

Hey, just to give an example of a CTA working, I've been watching the Youtuber Lathland for Years now an he plays very niche videogames, mostly builders of some kind, ever since he started making massive hour and a half long videos (movies as he calls them) his views shot up. The whole pitch is that he plays a whole playthrough of an extremely hard Game (From the Depths) which thakes 10-20 hours and cuts it down a lot. After about 10 minutes of the video he does a 1-2 minute long CTA which works well. He is very niche and has a very loyal and long lasting fanbase

[IntrovertAnxiety]

This is really good advice! I have been doing a ton of research as I’m interested/in the process of starting a channel.

Thank you so much for sharing

[DigitalREM]

The video quality of this podcast is pretty good. What platform are you using to create this podcast?

[CallMeLani]

As I'm new to YouTube, this was great info!

[Lindsay-TerraVenture]

Thanks, very useful, please lower or remove the background music, very distracting got to point had to leave. Good information and nice interview though 👍

[HealthierDayByTay]

I definitely forget to like videos/subscribe even when I’m enjoying it (probably especially when I’m enjoying it) because I’m focused on the content and not about their channel doing well and when someone DOES say something I’m really like…wait this video is giving me value, it’s their best video yet or whatever it may be and I like it. I’d say an animated graphic reminds me too. However, for smaller channels when you can tell they’re passionate and really want your like, because they genuinely want their channel to do better, it makes me feel more inclined to like because I see their drive/passion. You can tell when someone wants it in an almost desperate way and I have a higher chance of liking it when I see their drive/passion or even a need for their channel to do well.

If you had to learn scripting and writing again…what would you study? Read? Thanks
