General A&R Cool Videos Thread

I like their videos, but they give me the impression they're really uncomfortable in front of the camera which can make their voice acting a bit wooden. If I find the topic of the video interesting I can usually get through it though, as long as I'm not watching it too late at night...

I've watched a few of their videos today and some are pretty interesting but yeah they're reading from a script and it shows. They should just bullet point what they're trying to get across and wing it, would come across more naturally.

People script their YouTube shows? Sure why would you want to do that? :P

Exactly, it's like the forced "banter" you see at award shows. It's a small thing but youtubers who don't sound robotic when getting their point across are much easier to listen to.
