I Made a Video - Psychedelics Vs Meditation

[BlessedLion]

Hey Guys, I made a video on comparing the use of psychedelics vs meditation solely for awakening work. I’m still new to this so please be kind and cool. But I am open to feedback and discussion. Enjoy

Nice, I liked it. You speak clearly and confidently. Content wise too, particularly for newbies the information will be quite useful. However I think with some more pre-planning it could be made more concise, cutting down from 28 min. to like 20-23. Btw, you do kinda look like a lion

Nice man I subscribed, I like where this is going if I were to give some constructive feedback it would be to raise the volume to -14 DB search YouTube standard volume normalization. When someone clicks on the video they have to turn the video up because it’s too low and people associate low audio with low quality. Invest in a clearer sounding microphone would probably help, to create a more intimate experience. And add on top of that some audio EQ during editing. Basically figure out how to master the sound Quality. Sound quality is critical for all YouTube success.

• I like your calm energy, I get the feeling of authenticity. That's very important IMO - if I don't like you, I don't listen no matter how good the content
• +1 re volume and I want to add that I would change the angle of the camera. Feels to me the camera is a bit below your eye level --> I would put it a bit higher, feeling "eye to eye"
• Ask open questions and then give me (as viewer) a pause, a short break to process. E.G. "what are my credentials?" --> short break --> "First, 5000h of meditation.." etc etc
• Use breaks, short summaries, conclusions also to structure your content. Imagine you cut a loaf of bread into slices --> create spaces between different slices of content to make it easier to digest
• You background confuses me. If you want to create informational clarity with your video, make sure you provide as much clarity as possible. What I mean is 1. use a background that does calm my mind. Right now, the psychedelic lion you use rather creates chaos for me. It a new shape, its a bit mixed, my brain needs to get used to it. That takes away focus from your content. 2. If you want to use exactly this lion, then put in the center of your background so that it is symmetric. --> make sure you align your intention of the video with all the context surrounding it (!)
• Use pictures, metaphors, short, easy simple messages. Yes, analogies are simplified, but it's THE lesson for me from teaching myself --> metaphors, symbols, analogies stick the best
• Mix your presentation. At certain points, cut to a picture, or insert a quote on the screen etc. Keep my brain focused by giving different impulses from time to time. Not too much, not too many (see my point on clarity), but conscious mix of presentation methods. When I teach my students often tell me they like a mix much more then me talking only. Yes, it costs some time video editing but much can be achieved with little effort
• Engage me as a viewer. Connect your content to my personal life. Relevance, emotions, usefulness etc. Look into Storytelling methods. There is a reason why humans transfer knowledge via stories for ages
• All in all - I like your video. Pls see my points as (subjective) ideas, not criticism.

Good luck!
