    I'll tell you my honest opinions.
    The keyboard hurts my ears, you seem new to commentating, and personally I think with work you can make it better. This video seems kind of informative not for entertainment.
    Anyway keep up the vids and you can get better. :)

    Hey there DaFoxyGirl,

    you seem like a nice person and you read the comments here, so I thought I'd give you a constructive post. I watched the video multiple times and can from a viewers perspective safely give you this feedback. Please note that not only I will find your video like this, but these points apply to a lot of people in general.





    -Video title The video title is good (holds your name, the content) but it could have some more minor tags. If you search up "minecraft skyblock" in the youtube search bar you will see: "ep", "episode" and "survival". Adding those tags in a simple way can give you a lot more views, which is good for your channel :)



    -Thumbnail First impression, the thumbnail is very well made. It has readable colors and has all the information you need for to understand the video. The animated minecraft character spices things up even more, giving me the impression that this is a high-quality video. :) (Later on after watching video: This thumbnail doesn't fit your intro at all.)



    -Desription I don't like the description. It gives no direct information about the video and only asks for likes which you will do multiple times in the end (Although it has links to skyblock etc.) I'd would suggest you use a description in the area of:
    Now, with that subscription you already have the important tags: Minecraft, skyblock, island, gameplay, CJ_plays_games. This will already rank your video higher and will, sometimes very noticeably, give you more views. It more importantly gives viewers a short summary of the video without spoiling anything special. :)



    - Introduction The introduction instantly turned me off. "FlashyLettersAndCompleteChaosWhichPeopleThinkIsCool" is a well-known template and makes me think how stupid the 21st century is. A poorly made intro and often used one also indicates your video quality. So after seeing the introduction and almost turning the video off, I found out that you are not some no-mic 10 year old with NCS running the entire time, but actually a girl with a calm and soft voice. This was annoying (not your voice) since I had to adjust my earphone volumeand, as said, I almost turned the video off because of such a violent intro. Your intro should be configured with your your voice and the video in general. So I suggest you really make a calmer intro that is 4-9 seconds long and really put your personality out there. Maybe a short animation with you holding some foxes on your lap? Figure something out :)



    -Video startoff The video start off was good and had the information you need to know what is going on in the video. :)




    -Commentary and actions in the video Your commentary was good. Of course it good be better, but I have nothing against it and don't see a reason to change it. The game play was a bit boring while mining the cobble, but it was spiced up by talking and looking at the chat. The speedup was at a very good time, revealing viewers of seeing that boring part of your video. Overall I'd change nothing about your commentary, or possibly do something more exciting. :) The length of the video was perfect with 20 minutes and I'd gladly continue watching the series (although please change your intro).



    -Background noise You've already gotten a lot of feedback on this: Way way too loud, annoying. But no family members raging and screaming around like in a lot of other videos.



    -Outro Ehhh, could definetly use work. Without counting my impression is that you asked for likes etc. 3 times in a row and it made me feel uneasy. I suggest you'd ask once: "Also, if you enjoyed this video please leave a like and possibly subscribe to join the Foxthing. Thanks for watching, have a great day!" The "possibly" is very important here since it doesn't urge people to do it. Yeah, these things are very minor but you wouldn't believe how important they are in the long run / on your video.





    So overall, I like your video, and I'd rewatch it but I'd be annoyed by the intro and the keyboard sounds. The other stuff I said are tips and tricks. Your choice if you take them (I can highly assure you these will help you and your channel a lot, especially removing /modifying the intro) or continue your ways. Thanks for reading,
    -Leon

    I like the click of the keyboard. :eek:
    Athough, it overpowers your actual voice. Adding onto voice, more commentary would be nice. Considering you still are growing, there's no need to have perfect commentary. Even big youtubers still habe trouble commentating. You're doing great so far!
