I've been thinking about it too. Not sure how the viewers would react to me and my sometimes morbid and crazy sense of humor. I often get people saying I sound so sweet and innocent, yet I'm extremely morbid and have seemingly boundless energy. Not sure whether that's a good or bad thing. However, I can also be shy sometimes when I'm in uncomfortable surroundings. Due to having some sensory issues, that tends to be a lot of places. So I can relate to how sometimes you can't quite push completely through those feelings.
Your first few videos may show some of that shyness. But I think after a while you'll become more comfortable and your viewers may even feel a bit like friends and your shyness won't show so much. It's really about gaining confidence.
I think there are some YouTube videos on how to make the mic sound a bit better, making some homemade filtering and stuff. And there are people who aren't all that picky about your mic and video quality. If you're trying to use an ipod or something to film the computer screen, that might hurt your views a bit, but there are plenty of people who aren't very picky about the mic and stuff like that. If you're doing something you think is fun, chances are someone else finds it fun as well and video content is usually placed above video quality.
There is a free version of FRAPS one of my friends have that is safe. I don't know where they got it though, I'll try asking next time I see them.
Also, I'm sure you'll get better as you continue to do more videos. You usually don't just start making amazing videos, it takes some time to get them down. I'm sure you'll do fine, but good luck anyhow! :smiley:
