This is the first video I've seen on youtube where chest compressions are actually done well, thank you! Steady 100-120 bps, good depth and recoil, arms locked straight, good positioning on sternum.

Cpr on actual person is exhausting and tough and no one counts out loud unfortunately

It is exhausting! That's why it's critical you swap out compressors every 2 minutes while the AED is assessing the electrical activity. Also counting out loud is critical in the beginning because it's the only way for the other person to know when to do ventilations. Once you've got an advanced airway placed and a professional grade AED attached (like a Lifepak) then counting is less necessary since you can just follow the prompts and timer of the machine.
