Why I Changed

[@xxxcrazyducksxxx]

I don’t wear my headphones too often but I’m wearing them today and wow, the audio quality of this is incredible! I guess I hadn’t noticed when I just listen through my speaker of my phone or laptop but now I’ll watch your videos with my headphones in!

[@janani1826]

I'm going to put mine in now to try it out 😂 Edit: woah!!

[@annaf2828]

@@janani1826 me too!!

[@evan]

Ah thank you! I actually spent some extra time EQing the audio to fit my voice more :)

[@EmilyCheetham]

I used to watch KZbin on my laptop. Then when I got an iPad i realised the speaker quality is far superior. I cannot watch KZbin on my laptop any more since the quality is rubbish in comparison to the iPad. So ye the headphones should be so much better than a p or laptop too.

[@coolfred9083]

This channel really does make me think of high quality video and stuff, everything just feels so professional and you can tell Evan puts a ton of effort in even without him mentioning all the colour stuff he does that I don't really understand. I mean, the Grammarly advert that played after the video had noticeably worse audio quality!

[@danh4698]

"What do I have to offer? My personality?" EXACTLY I'm here because you're sweet and funny and make me laugh, and pick interesting topics to talk about. I'm really glad the effort you put into editing and video quality and all of that has made you happy though, and I love the Mood of "you do your best for you, not for others" :)

[@teridactyl1250]

Hear hear! I’d like to see them try to get anyone else to do it with half the quality Evan does.

[@CountSpamaIot]

I watched this on my quality 4K television with a dedicated sound set-up, and I have to say it was beautiful. I compared it to one of your previous videos from a while ago and the difference in production was definitely noticeable. All I can say is vielen Dank dafür, dass du mir abends mit deinen Videos immer eine Freude bereitet :)

[@mojitomadness9974]

4K klingt super

[@evan]

Ah thank you! Yeah in 4k it looks so crisp! I'm real haps with how it turned out danke!

[@CountSpamaIot]

@@evan Nichts zu danken :) It was simply gorgeous to look at, and especially the richness of the colours of your shirt. I’m glad you’re happy with it! You should be. I rarely comment on KZbin, so I never expected your response-thank you! I’ve long admired your path as well with grasping the German language and can relate a lot (I am a Briton who learnt it at school and then ventured to the country in 2015 after uni). Please continue videos with both an English and German influence, and because of you I began running every other day :)

[@kensafw]

I, for one, love how your content has changed. Even if you don’t understand how, you can easily tell that the quality is so much better than it used to be. One of the most noticeable things is probably your colour grading and lighting and everything that goes with that. You look incredible! You truly stand out amongst the millions of others on this platform which is amazing and something to take deep pride in.

[@PhoebeJones]

Completely agree

[@arania.exumai]

"The only thing that really matters is that I am better than I used to be." As a small business owner and freelancer, I've been struggling with imposter syndrome since I started. Hearing you say that at the end was just... ugh. It was just the vocal hug I needed! Thanks, Evan. (Loving the colours in your videos, by the way. So rich, just... chef's kiss!)

"Everyone can do this" 1. You're a fun, charismatic guy that hundreds of thousands of people want to watch. 2. You're videos look great. High quality. 3. Never let yourself get down because of 'marketing' people who clearly have issues themselves if they make such small-minded remarks. I love you now and always will 💗

[@codo8584]

Everyone can, but not everyone will be good at it, that's the big thing, if you have a phone, you can start KZbin

[@imaginekudryavka9485]

I can honestly say, that your content is unique. I know there are samey creators who still are able to be great on their own (Danny, Drew etc are the prime example). But in my experience, what I get from you, I haven't gotten from anyone else so far. Your personality is so pleasant, that I watch your videos even when it's a topic I don't care about. Bottom line is, you can definitely improve technical aspects and play around with different content ideas, but try to be as _you_ as you possibly can. Don't get discouraged or start shaving off your edges and changing your style to please others. The competition is so tough, that you can only stand out by being yourself. Remember, there's clearly something in you and your videos that people *value* - don't lose sight of that.

[@cheesevinoandwine4560]

The one dislike is from that replaceable woman working on Marketing

[@MrBizteck]

Who I suspect was replaced quite a while back.

[@ampersandcastle1091]

Seeing the clips of your old videos really shows how much the quality has improved wow

[@jakewatson668]

I enjoyed this. People like that woman you said about bother me so much. Its not okay to do that in any circumstance. They picked you for a reason.

[@Irish7girl13]

Over the past year or so, I could really tell you'd been challenging yourself to do more for your vlogs, and personally, I feel it's paid off. Your content always stands out to me as something one of a kind. Yes, you sit down and do "chat-style" videos, but your content is thought-provoking and comforting and so relatable. I've been following for a few years now, and it's been so fascinating and heartwarming to hear you openly discuss your life and the challenges and changes you come across. Even though my life may look very different from yours on the outside, I find myself coming back each week knowing that I can find something I identify with as well: taking each day as a chance to learn and grow from mistakes while also grappling with coming of age, my surroundings, and my mental health. I come to your channel for the content and the comedy (honestly, dad jokes and puns are so unappreciated! They make me smile without fail!) and stay because of your candor and the care you put into your craft. Your video quality is stunning and it's so refreshing to listen to someone so real with a larger platform. Listening to you is like having a deep chat with a friend and it's so refreshing to have that on the internet nowadays. I suppose this long-winded message is my effort to say that I appreciate seeing all the work, effort, and love you put into your videos and to thank you for staying true to yourself. I know I for one am grateful to have your corner of the internet to turn to.

[@agatealbekeite]

watching this video i realized that I've know you as a youtuber for several years now and I used to watch some of your videos sporadically when they got recommended to me, but over the last year I've started watching you regularly and while it was a very subconscious decision, I really think that it's the direct result of that increase in quality and sense of community that your videos provide, and I feel like it's become increasingly clearer that you are passionate about this and and it's really brought out your personality. I believe that people truly shine through their passions. thank you for doing what you're doing.

[@Chikorita2Chante]

He's been saying Edinger with a soft g for years because he said he liked how it sounded. Recently started saying it how it's "supposed" to be said. He's given a bunch of reasons to why he is, so I am not sure which one it is, lol.

[@sungalaxia]

"We could find anyone to do this. It shouldn't be that hard." "...then find someone else." Obviously if you need the job/money, or don't feel comfortable "disappointing" people, that's difficult to say, but oh man. Brain daggers at that woman. I wish you had called her bluff. Given the amount of time they wanted to have the content in, I wonder if they really could have just "found anybody" to do it.

[@KrystalPancakes]

THIS!!

[@TKelich]

I was once told by an employer that while they were happy with my work that people like me were a dime a dozen. I gave my notice that day ... if I hadn't needed the reference, I would have just left.

[@catT5236]

I was thinking exactly this when I heard that. Them immediately after I was like, well if anyone could do it & it's do easy, why is she paying someone else & not doing it herself in her lunch break? Could it be because she COULDN'T? Because it's actually NOT that easy. I would have been hard pressed not to ask why she didn't do it herself then? Also, if you're going to ask for raw footage you should expect bloopers to be in there.

[@evan]

Yeah, like if anyone COULD do it, why wasn't she?? I thought that soon after, but I didn't wanna blame the brand for the agency's shitty employee. Worked out in the end

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

I'd probably be thinking "if it's not that hard, *FUCKING WELL DO IT YOURSELF*", while going "mmhmm, yeah, sure, mmhmm".

[@merrymermaid]

those videos with jay are some of my favourites on your channel evan, i’ve watched them at least three times and have never noticed the camera being out of focus and audio being off! it’s kind of like in a play if an actor messes up one of their lines and feels really embarrassed but we, as the audience, didn’t even notice because we don’t know what the line was supposed to be anyway! the majority of us watching you don’t mind what the quality is like, we watch because we value you and your content!! keep making what you want to and you will find and connect with like minded people who are interested too🥰🥰

[@_local.alien_]

I’ve grown up watching Evan, I’ve learned more from him than I did in school/from parents and he’s just been a super important role model in my life for y e a r s, so when he said he basically felt replaceable,,, it hurt. Bc honestly he’s played such a large part of my growing and maturing and I don’t think he could be replaced, he’s such a unique, funny, entertaining human and no one could match his videos and the effort he puts into them :)

Wow, this is the first Evan video I've watched in... I think over a year now. Happy to see you feeling confident in your intrinsic value :)

[@DJosiahHicks]

Okay this could sounr a little back handed but, I only followed Evan due to association with Dodie and tbh didnt sit all the way through many videos for a long time.. until the year when all of a sudden the quality (imo) just shot up massively. Now i watch every single Evan video all the way through and he's one of my favourite youtubers & instagram users. Id say the increased effort has defo paid off!

I’m loving the vibe of your videos now!! The lighting and camera quality give it such a chilled out vibe, it feels like I’m just chilling with a friend when watching

[@beauthestdane]

As someone who is seriously considering becoming an expat, I stumbled on one of your videos not too long ago, and have been fascinated by watching the progress, and all the content about the differences between the cultures. I am slowly making my way through much of your content, as well as the content of some of the people you have made videos with.

Evan your content is amazing and I’m so glad that you found a way to improve (even though I personally couldn’t tell if it was “good” or not it all looked good to me) that makes you happy cause that’s all that matters. As long as you are happy with what you are creating then the community you have created will be happy.

[@DirtyMath]

Your line that everyone should strive to make better things even if just for the satisfaction really resonates with me. I make educational math videos and I have people around me asking why I’m spending so much time on equipment and editing when the Khan Academies of the KZbin world are just spitting out video after video of boring screen records of Wacom tablets on pdf copies of textbook problems. Why can’t I just strive to make high quality (or at least as high as I could get it) math videos just because it makes me happy? Thanks to your video I will no longer worry about that. I can and I will. Thanks man!

[@Amanda-Is-The-Best]

As a video editor who has worked in marketing, I have also heard the line: "We could find anyone to do this." Except they specifically said: "I could just hire a college student and pay them with a pizza." Yes, you could. But the quality of that video is only going to be as good as the money you paid for that pizza. Meaning, your video will look like trash. For all the creatives out there: Don't work for people who don't understand and respect the creative industry; they will NEVER be satisfied with what you do.

[@Peejay1966]

Spot on, Amanda. I have photographer friends with 30-plus years' experience who are asked to provide their services for free. You know, for the exposure. No. If you want a job done, pay the rate. If you want crap, do it yourself. As a sub-editor (also with decades of experience), when I look around the internet, it is obvious that cheap/free is now the norm.

Honestly watching your video’s is a delight. Usually the type of videos you make aren’t really my style but watching your videos is the same experience like when you clean your glasses after they were really dirty and all of a sudden you remember what it is like to see properly again. Also I really love the videos where you reply to comments, and I love the people in the comment sections of your videos, it really feels like conversing with someone and that’s something that a lot of people need right now. The experience I get watching your videos, I haven’t found anywhere else. You’re a gem 💎

[@lynnhamps7052]

I first saw you on a 'Fun for Louie' episode many moons ago, which led me to your travel vlog, which in turn led me to your main channel...Initially, your appeal for me was your striking resemblance to my youngest son which very quickly turned into a fondness for your content..I loved your sense of humour, the one where you and Dodie do each others make-up still stands out as a favourite. Since then you have obviously matured, your skills as an editor and content maker have improved beyond recognition but you have always stayed true to your personal values (and despite the 'dad' jokes, still make me laugh..lol). I admire your work ethic, your honesty and your desire for self-improvement, the only negative I can think of is that sometimes you are a little too hard on yourself..... Your respect for your subscibers is evident and that is important too, I also admire your life choices, it can't have been easy to move so far from home at a young age, I don't think some folk really understand how that' shapes a person, to miss family and familiarity, whilst perhaps feeling a little guilty that you are also finding a new life away from them is hard, ( I know that from experience), and to add on top the insecurity of your choice to be a KZbinr and all that brings, is a testament to your strength and determination. As long as you make content, I shall certainly be watching, whether it's on fancy recording equipment (which is a treat) or on a dodgy camera with iffy auto-focus, it is you as a person that keeps us loyal to your channel...I look forward to seeing how you continue to grow, as a content maker, a photographer and as a person...hopefully, one day, there will be a marriage, maybe children, new business ventures, a house to turn into a home, all the things that give life meaning :) ... In this time of uncertainty, familiarity and the company of like-minded people, albeit via social media, is doubly important...so thank you...I wish you the very best of luck for all you do in the future, stay safe x

[@DoctorsSong]

First of: the 'We can get anybody to do this' line is so cliché' It's been used in Hollywood before that person was born. And I was going to say to ignore it, but I was wrong. Instead you used it to motivate you to improve. So good Job. To be honest I'm not sure why KZbin recommended your channel to me but I'm glad it did. Your sense of humor is awesome and I always learn something from each video. Also I love how you do your sponsored videos. Very entertaining and interesting

[@leannewhite7559]

I never used to watch KZbin, except for new music videos, but your content came up on my feed about a year ago and honestly, you're the KZbinr that really brought me in. I love waiting for your new content and you've opened up more doors for me in KZbin. So all I'm saying is, yes there may be "loads more like you," but there's really only one you and your personality and quirky sense of humour is what brings me back. So keep growing and learning and just being you 🙂

[@DanceMyStyle]

I didn't realise how much I needed to hear this. As a performer, I'm constantly comparing what I can do to others, to my previous self, and the quality/style etc. that I'm capable of producing never feels 'good' enough. Especially at the moment, when we can't perform live in the capacity we used to, an online presence has never been so important. But just because I'm not doing as much as other people, or the videos I have done (please watch lol) aren't as slick as I'd like to be able to make them ... I still love them because it's what I did, what I created. My project, my arrangements, my editing, my playing ... I'm rambling, but thank you Evan! I've been subscribed for maybe 3 or so years and have always really enjoyed your content, it's been great seeing you move from strength to strength over the last few years.

Every time I send someone a price, I feel like I'm going to throw up because I start doubting myself so much.

[@sazzydaffy33]

Thank you so much for this video! It rang so true to a lot of what I’ve gone through in the last year and I think I know why. I set up my own business just under a year ago, and quite honestly, it’s gone really well, despite me making mistake after mistake in some areas. But what you say about the mistakes is so true. Every single one has felt crushingly disappointing at the time, but I’ve always learned a valuable lesson from it. It’s either taught me more about the equipment I use, or more about my customers, or more about the products I make, or how to value my time, and so on. I think the reason we have both gone through this is because it’s our own business, and we’re having to make our own way. It’s not like working for a company, where you are trained and shown what to do for each piece of work or area of work. My point is, I now feel prouder in myself and more confident, for every mistake and learning process I’ve been on. Anyway, long comment but thanks for the video and your editing and content is absolutely top notch 😍

[@rossini138]

This was really nice to hear. It's good to have pride in your work. Lately I've found myself following a couple of smaller channels with only a few videos... but they're so well made that I've thought "this person is really serious about this..." I'm really happy for you!

[@LittleDergon]

Here's me admitting the last of your videos I watched was your old style but here are things I really appreciated in this video: the lighting, the new and dynamic background, the focus (so crisp in the foreground and so pretty and fuzzy in the background), the sound quality (zero static or sound bouncing, just crisp and clean), the zooms All together was a really professional video and really shows of just how much is possible (side note: I was going to add 'even on KZbin' here and then was really questioning why because of what you said in this video; why does it being on youtube degrade it?)

[@LostCompositions]

Anyone else think Evan's background is becoming a little bit _too_ interesting to keep paying attention to what he's saying? I could literally stare at all the colors and decor for the full video lol EDIT: All jokes aside, as a fellow glasses-ed white dude who feels infinitely expendable at times, I appreciated how open this video was and how validating it is to be bettering yourself without feeling like an overachiever. And the background is still absolutely gorgeous.

[@ampersandcastle1091]

I quite like that. I have a very short attention span and being able to look at all the pretty colours and details helps to keep me interested in the video (not that Evan is boring, it’s 100% a flaw of my own). I totally get your point tho

You add value to strangers lives everyday and bring different peoples truths to life. you explore new languages, cultures and avenues. you are creative and inviting and push yourself to always be better. you being value, you bring joy, you bring truth and you add to so many people's lives. i just wanted to eave this here because behind your words was deep hurt from strangers and people you trust. even it is wasnt intentional. and you are valued and appreciated.

[@beatriztielas7015]

Even though I don't have the knowledge to even be aware of exactly how you've been tweaking your content and editing and process, it has been clear to me that you always have different areas on which you focus your attention video after video. I think your attention to detail, your dedication to improve, and your striving to have more knowledge really ends up being very transparent in the outcomes. I think the respect that you have for your own work, by giving it value yourself, by wanting to do this for yourself, contributes so much to the overall quality of your videos, and that is something that I respect in you. It's inspiring to me as well, it makes me more confident to do things that I like and accept my mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures. Thank you for this wonderful video! Love how you've been building the background and the lighting!

[@tessacoapstick2673]

Okay. I loved this video so much! Thank you for being so open, honest, and transparent. I have been a content creator for a while but I’ve always been behind the scenes...until last week when I uploaded my first video on my own channel. I’ve wanted to do it for so long and have just felt inadequate. Even after uploading I’ve been feeling like it’s not good enough and isn’t on par with what other creators are doing. This helped to remind me to focus on my own progress and doing & learning things for myself, not as a comparison tool to other people. This was really inspiring. I always love watching your videos!

I really like the Setup. The colours, you and everything are just so perfect with eachother. This is the first Video I saw from you and I'm gonna watch more.

[@miriamisabel4764]

Thank you, this resonated for me as I'm exploring music again and stopped for so many years because of comparison. Just need to be better than myself yesterday.

"Hello everybody and welcome back to a man, who pronounces his name different every other video to confuse his followers!"

[@emmal3819]

I love how you do your videos now and how you did it earlier! You can really see how much the quality of audio, video and lighting has improved, but anything with you and your personality in it I would love to watch ☺️ make what you love to make and your followers will support you because we know there is no one on KZbin who cares more about there videos 💗

[@katiecaravantes3876]

The coloring on this video looks so good! You’re doing great, Evan!

[@GymGirl88]

So proud of you and I kind of get this. I'm a scientist not a vlogger, but I understand the frustration you get when you have no idea how to solve a problem and I also understand how less frustrating it is when you're able to learn from your mistakes. It makes messing up worthwhile if you're able to learn from it.

[@Lily-wq9tl]

I, admittedly, haven’t watched any of your videos in a while so when I saw this in my subscription box I clicked on it bc I used to loooovr your videos (still do)! I just want to say that I immediately noticed the production quality! The lighting, the colors, the camera focus!!!! It all looks so, so nice and I can totally see ur hard work paying off!!!

[@sarahmariamelizabeth]

want you to know that I watch your content because I see the value in YOU. You have value and its shown through in every sort of content you make. So thank you for being you. Your honest in this video really resonated with me and I know it must not have been easy to share. Thank you, keep on keeping on

[@florkiler6242]

That was a beautiful story about learning and gaining self worth or something And I'm glad I was here to hear it from you

[@literaltrashpigeon5570]

Wow...that was so inspirational. I'm studying to be an illustrator and it often feels like a drop in the ocean of others in the industry. I struggle with comparing and imposter syndrom far too often. But, you're 100% correct: the only person we need to be better than is ourselves. Ooft, I needed this message. Thanks, man. Keep doing whatever content you choose to do and subscribers like myself will appreciate it cause you're doing it.

[@xzonia1]

You're such a genuinely good guy, Evan, and you're right ... what matters is that you're improving on what you did in the past. That's what matters. This video looked amazing, btw! Keep up the good work! :)

[@AJFilms14]

I love that creators like you make videos like this because it’s so valuable for people in the beginning of their careers to hear

[@orana03]

Hey Evan. Great video as usual. Discovered your channel in the last year and you're brilliant. Contents great the way everything looks and stuff is amazing. I've been watching some of your old stuff recent and how far you've come in video/sound/editing quality is mad, everything looks so much better. Keep up the good work :)

[@itsKrowZ]

Is it just me or are Evan's glasses foggy/smudgy? I too wear glasses and am wondering how he's seeing the world lol

[@janani1826]

Maybe it's cos of the lighting?

[@evan]

I normally spray and clean them before every video but for this one as I had had to refilm it already I was a bit rushed and wiped with my shirt... that camera quality is biting me in the butt now haha

[@itsKrowZ]

@@evan haha no worries! Wasn't a complaint just a jab :P

[@jonomoth2581]

It's surprisingly easy to see through mucky glasses

[@itsKrowZ]

@@jonomoth2581 it is, I know, I was just making a little joke :)

[@AmalaFrequents]

I've always liked your videos but I've found myself really looking forward to every one over the past few months- like even topics that might not normally spark my interest. I genuinely get excited on Sundays because I know you're going to post and I get that for no other youtuber. The visual quality is really distinct and I've really enjoyed following your photography journey also. I've found as you're learning I'm learning because you comment on the grading or focus or whatever and it makes me feel like I'm doing more than passively absorbing content and actively engaging and learning. I really appreciate your attitude. I remember reading a book about making art for commercial value (i.e. making it your job) and the introduction said something about how the thing that makes your art valuable it your personal style- it's the bit of you in it. And I feel like recently the videos have become much more you in every aspect- your excitement about the aesthetics or sketch style or creative reflexivity in the community videos. I feel like if you put someone else in the shot I could still tell it was your video. I'm glad you are on this mission, I look forward to enjoying witnessing its products.

[@stefaniecolapinto]

I love how you are able to articulate all of your findings while encouraging others. Nice vid.

[@henryjackson-wells327]

wait.... when did it change from *Ed-InJER* to *Ed-In-Ger*

[@manuelbonet]

Months ago for sure, maybe even a few years

[@memy2605]

It sounds more German that way. Might be why.

[@aoibhk7786]

I think he mentioned that you can say it either way, so i think hes been using both interchangeably from what ive noticed!

[@henryjackson-wells327]

@@aoibhk7786 hahahaha he probably dosnt care to be fair

[@evan]

@@henryjackson-wells327 it's fine either way tbh :)

[@meri3580]

I’ve always appreciated how much you want to get better at things for your own sake rather than because someone else thinks you should. I’ve loved seeing you improve the quality of your videos and photography too! Especially with how excited you are for everyone to see it

[@bunjitsu7046]

I actually found your channel through your travel vlog, and having followed you for years and loving your personality, it lead me to really appreciate your new set up. I like seeing you "level up" as it were. Your photography vlogs are also stunning and even though it isn't a passion of mine, I really enjoy them. So keep doing you :)

[@TaniWeinstein]

Bravo Evan, I commend you for changing things up and working toward what you ultimately wanted, then taking all the hard things and learning from them!

The quality of your videos it's amazing. It improved so much from the beginnings, even from last year. The colours are great, the focus is crispy, the audio is clear... It really stands out all the effort and work you put into it. So I'd say "Anyone can do it but not everyone can do it WELL"

[@evan]

THANK :)

[@ThatGirlKim]

I totally feel the same way about continuing to improve on things!!! ☺️ I subbed during the summer and I love watching your content 😊 Keep it up and we'll all follow along! 😄

[@mae4156]

I agree 100% I have to say I really enjoy your content, past and present! Also yes the audio is amazing!

[@ruthwatt]

"I am better than I used to be". I couldn't agree more to the importance to being able to say this, no matter what we are talking about in life.

[@elizabethmorris7613]

Everything in this video is superb!! The lighting.The background. The audio. *chef’s kiss* - also because of the lighting and the cloudy weather it looks like it’s snowing ❤️

[@chaoticgoodgh0st286]

I only subbed a few months ago but your audience will grow alongside you 😁💙 Make videos you love making and take a break whenever you need to. We'll still be here
