Come up with your own special flair. You will get more views by being original.

I've been planning to start some kind of a let's play series on youtube for about six months now and I can tell you - You're too young, so am I.

Look at the reality, there are no famous youtube gamers who are below the age of ~18.

It sucks but that's life, you'll have to wait and anyway I don't want to sound mean because just like you, I have no experience but unless you are asking for software than it just shows that you have no idea what you want to do or even thought about executing the plan in some way.

I know I'm not much help but I just want to save you some time since becoming a noticed youtube gamer isn't a question of one or two weeks, it's months, sometimes even years.

But look on the bright side, that's not that bad, through the next year or two try getting to know your (maybe) future surroundings - send some messages to the good quality video uploaders and I'm not saying you should try contacting Frankie because he has no time for these kind of things and I suppose you'd get an answer like: "Hey I explained everything in this video two months ago, cheers".

I for example had RhinoCrunch, quite a popular DayZ player on my steam friends list for about three months and got to know some valuable information and tips. Met a lot of twitch.tv streamers by coincidence and even played with Frankie (didn't actually meet him but I see myslef in the chat in one of the Namalsk videos, don't bother looking, my DayZ name is different ;)

Try doing some test videos, don't upload them to youtube, buy a good quality microphone and a rig that can record footage of newer games at medium - high since as you have probably noticed - the society is very choosy when it comes to the almighty "480p or 1080p quality" options.

I'd recommend making a playlist on your youtube account of Let's play tutorials and basically videos which show you how to operate with different programs and how to actually make it in some way on youtube.

But remember, life's a "beach" and you mustn't expect getting from where you are now - average gamer shoes to a youtube star which gets job offers and companies asking you to click like on this and that video so that your subscribers can see and watch the video too, since that's been becoming more and more popular around the popular names like Tobuscus etc.

Hope I helped, good luck ;)

Fraps is horrible. I wouldn't use it. It takes up far too many frames. Vegas is fine though. I like it. I upgraded to Adobe Premiere Pro for more customization though.

What type of mic do you have? This is very important. Nobody likes static in the background.

[karelDayZ 2]

i have a standard mic on my pc,

it's good for me.

i think i use this micro in the beginning,

if i get more subs,

i'm thinking of buying a good one

what are some good mics?

[snafu18 15]

To be honest if you'll be doing commentary and A LOT of it I wouldn't recommend a headset or a normal mic from an average electronic shop. Probably the best kind of mics that you can get are capacitor mics. They use them in music studios but don't reject the idea straight away because if you are really serious about the whole youtube thing you really must have a good rig, especially the microphone since noone likes to listen 20 minutes of mumble etc.

A company called C-1 does good mics for the price they ask, normally their cheap stuff is like in the range of 90$ / 75€ / 60£ and I presume this would be the maximum price you'd be willing to pay. I know it's a lot but if you want to do it professionally than that's the way to do it with a limited budget.

I can't tell you about a microphone called Blue Yeti which is a USB mic since I don't know much about it but JackFrags is using one and it costs roughly 90$ so it's the same as the C-1's.

These are the best tips I can give you, I wish you all the best of luck and if you have any other questions - feel free to ask since I've been studying the topic of let's playing on the internet for six months now. ;)
