Maybe I'll make a video of a tour of my Minecraft house in Welsh??

I'm sure I've told everyone here the story of how I tried to record myself playing Minecraft and speaking Welsh, and I recorded for an hour but only the in-game sound was recording. The microphone hadn't been on the whole time :') But maybe I want to try again and a tour of my house/island would give me some direction as to what to say.



Edit: apparently I haven't posted it here, but it happened in August and it was very sad :,(

Part 1: I want more Welsh-language stuff on youtube so I'd like to start doing gaming videos in Welsh maybe? But the issue is I don't think I'm very charismatic and I don't think I'd be interesting enough 😔 Seriously how do youtubers know what to say when they're just sitting in a room on their own playing games...

Part 2: I recorded a 45 minute video of me playing Minecraft and talking in Welsh and I think it's the most boring drivel ever. How do youtubers make themselves interesting

Part 3: Oh my god I forgot to click record microphone audio so it's just a silent video of me playing Minecraft with only the in-game noises and nothing I was saying..... agonising.... It's even more boring than I previously thought. I think that ends tonight's Welsh gaming experiments...

This is my problem. I started my Welsh YouTube channel with the aim of giving me a way to use my Welsh to do something useful, but I get very few views compared to comparable videos in English. I also don't speak straight to camera because who wants to watch an old lady in her 70s? I also write a script for the voice over because I can't speak straight to camera in English without waffling, so I'm not going to be able to manage it in Welsh. This was a review I did of a Welsh board game. It got 683 views in two years, which I suppose isn't too bad.
