Question

Is it possible to have a good gaming channel without using a microphone?

Victoria Tsukayama

Community Answer

Yes, but it is definitely preferred that you use a good quality mic because people will be able to hear you better and easier.

Question

What if I don't wish to show my face? Possibly never. Is it possible to become semi-successful? What if I'm not that great at commentating? Is it possible to learn how? And if so where can I learn?

First of all, you can have a very successful channel not using your face. For example, Sunset Safari is a Roblox YouTuber with a million subscribers who has never shown her face. Commentating is something you can learn; try practicing before recording or writing a script.

You can promote yourself on social media (Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, VK, Snapchat, etc.). Doing that is the easiest way to promote yourself.

Question

I didn't get any comments, so I don’t know what to improve and nobody is looking at my channel, but I don’t know why.

That might just be because some people don't typically comment when watching videos. That is okay though! Pretty soon, your channel will be noticed, and people will tell you what they think! Just don't force people to comment, because they won't answer truthfully.

Question

Is it okay if I cover multiple games? I have a ton of favorites, and I want to play all of them on my channel.

Community Answer

Absolutely! There is nothing wrong with that. And variety is actually really good if you want to keep your viewers open to new content. And besides, you will get more viewers with different interests for each .game you play! An example would be one person who likes Overwatch, and then you play Splatoon, you would get viewers who like that game.
