how to stop faking your youtube personality (and feel natural)

[@aliabdaal]

This is a great video

[@AreebIrshadHindi]

Ali is here too....Nice.

[@flyhigh7870]

Big fan sir 😉

[@JonDorman]

Ali let me show you the first draft of this script... literally I originally had you in as well to breakdown, not even joking 😂 Maybe I was scared to do a English accent haha. You inspire a lot of people Ali, please keep doing what you're doing! Lots of people in this community look up to you. Thanks for being here :)

[@hmr313_]

wow

[@Psych2go]

Agree

[@Browney]

The amount of effort in this video is crazy compared to size of your channel. Great info in the video as well! This video is already being recommended to a decent amount of people, but I feel like the thumbnail could be a little more clear, maybe worth trying out multiple thumbnails so this video can blow up haha!

[@JonDorman]

Man I'm ashamed I haven't seen your content before but you TOTALLY embody the heart of this video haha! 🔥🔥 Good videos Stan. I appreciate the feedback a ton, definitely need to test some more thumbnails. Always SO much more to learn on KZbin than we think.

[@rnimations]

@Jon Dorman two of my favourite youtubers 😂

[@Valuedactionman]

New thumbnail is sick!

[@brunch8051]

[@DannyMac3d]

Not sure why this one hasn't taken off yet because it deserves to, keep pushing man!

[@JonDorman]

Haha thanks Danny, you're awesome. I'm patient 😏

[@jason_swet]

Love that you’re exploring the nuances of KZbin creating. The space has been getting repetitive. This is a really fresh perspective.

[@BuildingApologetics]

Dude, it's time to grow. Your channel is a model for how even "small" youtubers can put incredible effort into their content.

[@RetroVRR]

What?

[@InternetCity]

Dude you’re going to blow! Great video dude! Side note RuneScape brought back memories with that one!

[@DailySetupTech]

I'm so happy YT recommended your last video! Instant Sub! Just like for most people, filming myself has been quite hard, especially because I'm making videos in English and it's not my main language, in fact, it's my third language lol. But I believe that with enough practice and desire to improve, anyone can speak to the camera naturally. I still have a long way to go to be as good as I would like to be, but it feels good to see the progress from video to video :D A mistake I made at the beginning was trying to copy the super energetic personality type to make videos more ''interesting'' when it's not how I am at all and it made the videos feel a bit unnatural. But I'm slowly finding a style that suits me. It's all about practice! :D

[@JonDorman]

YES! I'm not crazy energetic, but good thing we don't need to be. I'm learning what works for me, right? Sounds like you too. That's the beautiful thing is PRACTICE does miracles.

[@Carlosjr563]

what about people who don't like their voice and are very shy. what can we do?

[@sweatybabypowderhands843]

I was gonna do exactly that, because it felt like I had to. Thank you for stopping me so I can just accept myself as I am :)

[@MasterTechLou]

Got me hooked, not the content, not the fact that you are helping me grow and think differently but the fact you ended the Isaiah video talking about gratitude and existence. 💫🤜🏻🤛🏻. Im in my 40’s making automotive educational videos and its a good feeling knowing I’m helping people. Gratitude is something I practice daily. Grateful I have the opportunity to change people in some way shape or form. Best wishes for your channel. You’re helping me which in turn will help others. 🔥🔥💫

[@siddhantgupta1300]

First video wedding shoot Second insta exploit Third one about drone 4th one self help Then u hit the jackpot youtuber breakdown You were following your youtube search software But more then any thing u got a super power of great story telling. Really appreciate it brother. Love from India 🇮🇳

[@JonDorman]

Siddhant haha glad you're here! There's a science to KZbin for sure, but there is definitely an art as well. Best of luck to you!

[@VishwasKaushik]

What a awesome video, want more videos like this!

[@HungryTheologian]

You taught this in such a unique way by imitating the other KZbinrs to show us different styles. Great stuff! The RuneScape story is also a great illustration that is giving me a lot to think about as I plan my next videos.

[@JonDorman]

Yeah the Runescape example was powerful even for me. Taught me something for sure. There's a dichotomy because you don't want to talk about yourself the whole time, but you need to a little bit for people to know and connect with you. Fun stuff, always more to learn.

[@AdrianTwarog]

I just made 100,000 subs this year, and I can tell you certainly that you have a good future on the platform, keep it up and you’ll be passing me in no time!

[@allysseTV]

Man it's crazy how there's so many creators that speak on these type of topics but you are my fav and you deserve every sub you get!! Keep it up!! Was here at 746 sub lol^^

[@dokoria6526]

So glad I found this channel...im looking forward to all your releases

[@zoe_elora]

woww thank you for this! this was one of the best youtube tips video I've seen! I love the angle you took... this perspective is game-changing

[@OneAV8]

Ok… I’ll admit it. I’ve watched all of the “how to grow your channel” videos out there…. This was the most motivating and informative one I can remember. Great job!

[@ryanscottmurphy86]

This was the best breakdown of presenter authenticity that I've seen and I think you really nailed the point. You can borrow techniques, but you can't borrow someone else's personality.

[@djcook]

What a fckin banger of a vid

[@Zazzic]

Hey dj cook 👋

[@imrabeenadeem2]

Just found you today and this is your forth video in a row. I have no idea why this video is not in millions? 😒 It's perfecto! 👌😍

[@thefactzone420]

Your personality is what made me subscribe to your channel after viewing one video, then your sense of humor and how you explain things. Really enjoyable and keep up the good work! :D

[@AfzalHussein]

Solid content bro! Keep it up! :D

[@philipptravels]

Brooo these videos are sooo good, I’m so glad I found you at this early stage!!

[@JonDorman]

Haha glad you're here at the early stage! The best part is connecting with people, so I hope these videos help!

[@Zachary.Jordan]

You are a super underrated KZbinr! Keep making content, I just subbed!

[@diamoonic]

Imagine talking to a friend while filming. Your camera is your friend

[@landonoriginals]

Lol I was watching this the whole time thinking you were a big youtuber until the very end when you talked about getting to 10k. Your videos are absolutely amazing, this is so inspiring. Thank you!

[@Zu-den-Wurzeln]

Incredible acting and editing skills, I'm so so impressed. Thanks for sharing and for emphasizing authenticity. Personally I don't like to watch these super loud, over-the-top youtubers and would hate it if people all went for that style.

[@donniemacneil]

0.23 🤣 that "what" was hilarious. love the content! (ah clearly I don't know how to add timestamps lol)

[@AustinDixon]

THIS IS THE VIDEO WE NEEDED! baller bro, awesome one! 🔥

[@JonDorman]

haha glad it helped brother!!! Excited for the next ones coming ;)

[@yousseflahbib]

Detective Jon did it again! He reveals another secret for KZbin success. Bro! Your content is Underrated af. Keep up!

[@JonDorman]

Haha underrated is a fun place to be sometimes. Glad you're here Youssef!

[@juniorcarpenter7821]

you're also underrated assi YOUSSEF you're one of the best content creators in MOROCCO and you deserve more attention

[@yousseflahbib]

@@juniorcarpenter7821 Thanks a lot! I am very happy to read your comment

[@MrBanooja]

you definitely gonna get up there in 2022. I say 500 k by end of year. great job buddy and keep it up ! love your content

[@navjotkumar4235]

Wooh, It really became about me "you to me" by the end of this, i couldn't stop my tears... That was actually a lesson that I needed to learn...

[@kodakkevin]

I think the best aspect of your videos is the affirmations and positive reinforcement about authenticity; there’s no point in being a “[insert youtuber] clone”

[@IzhanZubir]

Dude, honestly, the value and quality this video brings is similar to a channel that has 100k subs. You will hit 1 mill before you know it. Real talk. Much love from Malaysia

[@faiyazfaisal]

great video i learn manything about story telling.

[@NickinNashville]

You have some of the best contact I found on KZbin your channel is going to continue to blow up

[@UltimateTechHub]

I've done 326 videos and it gets easier with practice that's for sure. Let your own personality grow and blossom and over time it will come kind of natural. Peter is the best vlogger on KZbin, it's no contest. Good video and solid content.

[@usmvnjaved]

Mannn. I started watching this video while sitting on the sofa, after 5 seconds I got so much hooked that I stopped watching, came to my room put my headphone on and started watching it on my TV. Because I didn't want to ruin the value in a midiocre quality. So much love and passion you got. 💕💕

[@BackroadDriver]

Your videos are way better than your sub count. Just found one and have watched 5. Do. Not. Quit. You are gonna make it.

[@CJShopland_Art]

Liked what you said about community with the rune scape part, connecting a story

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Duuuude, this was such a pleasure to watch! Very entertaning, flow was great, information spot on and I've learned so much. Thanks for awesome video! Instant sub, because I want to see more from you! :)

[@joshrathbun1]

This was totally me... now I am discovering myself through change.... Great video! ( mine was the PM spectrum lol)

[@El_portal_de_Juan]

Man I love this channel so far one of the best at helping Creators, am struggling with the storytelling part, but as the ring of the King says this will pass

[@119darshana]

Broooooo... 😍😍😍 This video is just for me... Thank you very much... I'm gonna start a youtube channel with my old dslr... I don't care what my gear is... Audience, quality of the content & my style are the only things which I'm gonna care about from now on... If there's more which should be in my list, please update me...

[@JonDorman]

haha! Darshana I was wondering when you would see this video 😂 You got this man, go for it!!

[@Blizzpoint]

Talk to the camera like it's your best friend who can't wait to hear everything you are about to tell.

[@MooseMuncha]

Great idea to mimic other youtubers to see how it feels to portray yourself that way. 10k subs from the next 10 videos is definitely achievable

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

How has Peter not seen this? He loves commenting on videos where he’s used somehow. Anyway, your video is so good. Professional quality, nice!

[@HerSoulVacation]

Thx! I’m realizing I need to be more intentional and prepare better. As simple as having a mic when recording outside.

[@Vidhupoyya]

This is something I've thought about a lot, but haven't heard anyone talk about it. Finally.

[@DrVishalT]

Ten on ten on ten for the video..! Epic analysis and observations

[@GeoffreyJamesKing]

your so underrated and inspirational :) thanks for putting me in the video btw lol

[@JonDorman]

Lol I wondered if you'd notice haha 😂 Thanks man, keep up the good work

[@GeoffreyJamesKing]

@@JonDorman Thanks man! Also im checking out PlannerVid and i was wondering if you could connect multiple youtube channels to the software.

[@mizukii0781]

Im actually glad i saw your channel. This is genuinely interesting

[@truthimagination2997]

EXCELLENT Break down! Very much appreciated.

[@anthonymanciniFBA]

You definitely opened my eyes with this video! I just started my own KZbin journey and the info in this video is great! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to future videos!

[@RDevMusic]

WOW. I mean before I start, those acting skills 🔥🔥 You're such a natural storyteller + video editor. I'm excited to see where your channel goes in the next month, nevermind the next year! Keep it up man!

[@MohamedBashandy]

this is quality content, I subscribed in the first minute of the video. Good job Jon.

[@leokeller]

Absolutely love this video and all the tips you provide. I really struggle to be myself on camera, especially since English is not my native language. Thank you, this was incredibly helpful!

[@JonDorman]

The good thing is most people in the world are WAY more comfortable nowadays listening to non-native English speakers (even us crazy americans lol). Glad it helps! Keep practicing, you got it

[@LeahStorm]

i had no intention of watching this video, but it came on as i was doing stuff on my other monitor. I subscribed for a shallow reason - cuz you're eye candy, but stayed thru to the end because it was interesting, and then i decided to subscribe. I'm starting a channel soon, so your content is relevant and helpful, plus, the eye candy factor. so yeah.

[@blazeisop4228]

Hah you are a genius.... This is such a great video. People like me who came from the niklas's breakdown video will surely 100% stay here after watching this well made master piece

[@TobiasHess_]

Very inspiring, I think the only way to truly inspire other people is to believe in your self first.

[@Popsori]

This is an incredible video! Learned a ton about growth, storytelling, and how to always make it about your viewers and not you. I can definitely see this channel hit some insane subscriber numbers in the upcoming months. Glad to be here early before this channel's big sub explosion (current subs: 4.8k)

[@jacoblangdance]

Oh this is great! I'm new to KZbin video making and struggled with this exact thing for a while. I'm just finding my way being as authentic as I can be on camera. I was grieving when I made my first talking head style video, and all the bubbly personality stuff was genuinely too painful to fake. So I just gave it an honest approach, and allowed myself to be sad on camera, and I think it turned out so much more for the better. Thanks for this video! It's what I needed to hear!

[@DJKrystalLake]

You're an amazing creator. I can't wait to see you blow up!!!

[@ivanlagunas7068]

Dude I’ve never seen videos like these but I have but these are different which is like mind blowing

[@ElMarioVlogs-]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice video crack! I'm following you since the previous video, before you got viral jaja. Saludos desde México!

[@JonDorman]

Mario you legend haha. Thanks man! I need to get to Mexico soon 🔥

[@VenusNoorleila]

You crack me up. Love your style and authenticity. Thank you for all your advice.

[@zouhir9468]

You know what funny, I am gonna enjoy seeing this channel grow to 100k,200, 1m…easy!

[@modesanya]

Awesome approach to the topic. Thanks for uploading!

[@omgbence676]

Really glad this popped up in my recommended, great vid for us creators

[@sandie-squirtle]

I am not even a minute into the video, but I already Love it lol... Well done Jon Dorman.

[@Prof_Teen]

I love how you mimicked each of the youtubers! I’ve been trying to figure out how to get comfortable on camera and this video was really helpful ahhh, thank you!

[@Jubair194]

These videos are so well made, truly inspirational!

[@ArabicBlossom]

So much value. Thank you for compiling 😊

What a great surprise this channel! Thank you! Great work, man!

[@arieltravel6095]

I think you will get a huge exposure very soon !! This is your time man! See you on the top ;)

[@thrivewithcharacter]

Exactly the video I needed to start my channel ! Thank you buddy!

[@tdematos]

This video is GOLD! Connection is so important-I am definilty going to try to implement this in every video I make going forward!

[@ElaineKempf]

Just re watched this video. It’s validating that my voice is fine just as is. Hubby kept telling me I need to be bubbly all the time but it felt very unnatural sometimes. I need to incorporate more of the b roll and sound effects to make the boring stuff more entertaining

[@real_joey]

This video deserves more views. really well made and a lot to learn from it :)

[@MasterEth]

i do be a chill guy so can't wait to learn about how to be more chill

[@vaibhavrajamani1]

You should really post more videos, I love the content you make, it's super informative and we get to learn a lot in these 10 - 15 mins of your videos, absolutely love em!

[@ElParacletoPodcast]

Good video. The problem is that we live in a world where people worship images, instead of worshiping information. Most people are impressed by appearances, instead of substance. I guess if you want your message to get through, you have to give them what they want.

[@SomeDadGaming]

I'm new and fresh to this and I'm absorbing all this!!! 💯

[@DanielBrown-cc4hw]

Good work!! Thank you for this!!

[@RenatoHideki]

love the pwc shirt!!

[@atanasfit]

Great video, Jon! Very insightful and inspiring for new content creators like me. I'm happy that I watched that video because it brought me a lot of things to think of. I am aiming for Andrei Jikh’s presentation style. Good luck with your channel!

[@adiacvibes]

When we watch a lot of videos of certain youtubers we generally have the tendency to talk like them when we are recording ourselves and it's very hard to control it. I guess with practice I will eventually find my own style as well. Loved this video

[@Sem0711]

Watched your video on Niklas christl and it was great, now I get recommend this one as well and it might even be better. You’ve earned yourself a new sub!

[@ThatAwkwardFilmmaker]

Bro, just subscribed.. This is one of the important videos and we all know why its important. But usually somebody has to spell it out for us. Its just like we never left the school... I think basics are like those super hero movies. They always work, because we as humans, we need to & we do visit basics again and again.,.. I hope you guys remember Andrew Kramer's After Effects 101...

[@ThatAwkwardFilmmaker]

Also, entertainment and How to videos work... smaller videos work more than big ones... Juts recently discovered and observed the same on big channels in their early stages...

[@rodrigobiagi]

KZbin kept suggesting your videos for me and today I decided to give a chance. Oh man, thank you so much for your great content, I was just giving up my youtube channel, but now I feel so inspired to keep going, you really know show to inspire and focus on the bright side of this. Thank you from Brazil!

[@oumaimaessanoussi6067]

Ur channel is the most helpful one for new KZbinrs

[@IvanPratx]

Hey! Advice on a title change that I believe would be more clickable!! "How to be GENUINE as a KZbinr" or "How to be AUTHENTIC on KZbin" I think it fits! Good job with your vids man! cheers

[@dmeloTV]

I can't understand why this video doesn't have more views!!

[@iriniseresli]

I just discovered your channel! I love your videos! It's only a matter of time before you hit millions of subscribers. Keep up the great work and content!💪

[@MicahUhl]

Dude, you are growing so fast, its amazing. It's true that if you make good videos, like once a month, then you will gain subscribers. I only have a laptop that isnt even that good, but you have an entire set up. Did you actually start earlier and delete the bad videos from when you were 15 lol?

[@CluelessYoutuber]

Hopefully I’ll be less clueless after watching more of your videos 😂 awesome stuff man

[@joaquimley]

If this was 10months ago and you were

[@ArthurKDurden]

Absolutely one of the best channels that I have ever subscribed to, I just binge watched all of your videos! The bad part is that I wanted them to be more. Please don't stop creating, I'm gonna wait impaciently for your next video. Cheers from Italy!

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

Andrew: Not polite to talk about money but has a lamp just like Graham Stephen’s in the background, smoooooooooth! 👋🏼🇨🇦

[@izzalifestyle]

YT has recommended a few of your videos to me from a year ago. So i'm guessing YT algo is loving your videos too! New sub and new YT creator! Thank you for your content!

[@abusayeed4787]
