[@BillHilton]

I've been running my channel since 2009, and faceless is basically the standard for me and my entire KZbin sector - I'm doing piano tutorials, so the basic shot is just the keyboard from overhead. I have noticed that it's much harder to get visibility with JUST that overhead shot these days, so I've started using much more variety in the form of captions, stills, animations etc. Interestingly, cutting in face-to-camera stuff is usually *less* effective than sticking with the overhead keyboard and using, say, animation over the top.

[@PrimalVideo]

Wishing you all the best! 😊

I am glad that there is an option where you can create videos, without the need to show your face. I admit that I have a nervous reaction with a camera pointing towards me. But I wish to elaborate special but simple videos to give the viewers a chance to collaborate and help give them a good moment to enjoy the day.

[@kelsiaramaple]

My channel is non-monetised due to its nature/topic, but as for making any content that might meet monetisation, I'm horrendously camera-shy and voice-shy so dismissed the idea. However, I'm trying to get the confidence to film my hands for art/ journalling/ colouring etc. (inspired by 'Chris Cheng' who has a successful colouring channel without voice or face on camera). After seeing this (your) video, I'm amazed by all the different websites and software you've covered, and will definitely check them out! Your DVR tutorial video helped me to edit and upload my first video last summer (first is not the worst for me - just hit 40k views and thrilled). Ready to learn more editing skills with DVR and I love your teaching style, so I'm going to check out more of your videos. Thanks for your hard work and great tutorials! :)

Thanks for this, Justin. I am already using some of these techniques, but I have a LONG way to go! Years ago and on a topic far, far away, I serendipitously made a video that got more than 300,000 views, but it was much more about having a timely topic than about anything I did in my recording. I am continuing to refine my thought processes in the research phase. I wholeheartedly agree that research can make or break you before you even start! Thank you for providing your time and expertise to help the masses learn to do this better!! Keep making - and I'll keep watching!
