Are you good in front of a camera? YouTube Fame!

W1zzard · Jun 22, 2015

For a while now I've been thinking about improving TPU's YouTube presence a bit.

Right now I'm thinking of some kind of weekly show where all the important developments in the hardware world are covered in a tv news like fashion.

For this we need a presenter:
- Native English, US/Canada preferred
- Male or Female
- Age 21 to 30 (so we can fly you to events)
- Not afraid of a camera, look presentable
- Some decent level of tech skill, enough to present the topics and make remarks about them
- Basic camera and editing skills (I guess it will be a learning experience for all of us)

Anyone interested?

Looks like TPU is going large!

I'm not volunteering, btw.

shoot some video introducing yourself, or presenting something (your crib, your car, your computer, etc), we do have to see you and hear you speak.
try to be natural but look in the camera from time to time

don't worry about recording quality. doesn't have to be long, just so we get an idea.

upload as unlisted video to youtube and pm me the link

Why only 30?

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Jun 22, 2015

It sounds like a great idea, i hope you can make it work.

I would like to nominate @Toothless.

I am too old, too Welsh and have a face more suited to radio :peace:

I meant to point that out, but I didn't want to badger you :laugh:

because the youtube target audience is well below that age, too. i think we need someone they can connect with.
30 is not a hard number, if you're a 31 year old girl with an awesome body i'm sure the youtube kids wouldn't mind

I do not envy the person who gets the position.

Nosada · Jun 22, 2015

I came in here expecting to have to report spam. Turns out even TPU is now younger and hipper than I am.

Not saying that was very hard to do, but still ...

Looking forward to what you guys have in mind/achieve!

Frick · Jun 22, 2015

I vote Danthebanjoman or Damulta.

Whoever it is better have some seriously thick skin for starters! You think trolling is bad here, wait until the entire YT audience has at you...lol

buildzoid · Jun 22, 2015

Would going to English schools since you were 5 count?

Though I guess my age is the bigger issue. Give me 3 more years and I'll meet them.

Comments can be turned off.

sneekypeet · Jun 22, 2015

Indeed, then it is just your friends/associates letting you know

Damn did you see what that dude said about you, then you go look and get all wound up

That is a terrible idea unless your channel is already huge. Comments even terrible ones help push the video up.

the camera must survive for future use

Link the video back to TPU for comments and moderation, it would push up site traffic.

I watch linus tech tips. I've been to their site 2 or 3 times and never through one of their videos. So IMO that doesn't work. Maybe do what Tek Syndicate does. They have YT comments on but post the video to their website and read only comments on their own website.
