What do you look for in a Gaming Commentator?

What do you look for in a Gaming Commentator? More specifically a Maplestory Commentator on YouTube, but any games in general work too.

The number one thing for me, is that you have to be genuinely funny. Tobuscus is a good example. Granted he is funny on a lot of his videos, but his gaming channel....it's crap really. He just...ugh i don't know. He has to be loud and make stupid noises to be funny. No offence to anyone who likes him, everyone has their own opinion.

[quote=iGooglespace]i personally like seamus or ssohpkc (http://www.youtube.com/ssohpkc) i love the way he just doesnt care its so funny chad your up there with good comentators for maple but... you should try to do other games if you wish to ever get past 10k subs (most maple players dont) but it will be extremely difficult most commentators who play maple try other games but fail miserably (coppersan tried deusex >.&lt so they just stick to the typical other game with a "M" but you should definetly try gow judgment or the walking dead survival instinct(most likely garbage) when they come out those are going to be the first games i upload to youtube . and like i said once you start maple its really hard to play something else but you should definitely try gl and love your commentaries [/quote]

- Being their selves
- Not talking only about Maple, but also talk about their own life
- Enthusiasm
- Reads comments from other people
- Does not talk during cutscenes, unless they are being funny

[quote=Wordolio]all gaming commentators could take a page from Seananners.

he is very, very good at what he does. ( i would argue that he's the best commentator out there).

but alas, that is just an opinion, and to each their own.

I also find Coppersan entertaining, his "page" jokes are funny, and aren't overused so they don't really get old (to me)

and his accent makes me lol a little bit sometimes.

I dislike commentators who cuss, and try to hard to act...well... hard.

even though, i myself love to cuss, i don't tune in to youtube videos to listen to some punk go off the handle over some game.[/quote]

lol I enjoy how coppersan says character as "Chair-actor". And as for cussing, I really try not to in my commentaries but I have a few times but not much.

Don't sound like a 12 year old, I can't stand the sound of 12 year old American boys.
Talk about what's happening on screen or something to do with the game, some people start to talk about random stuff.
If you wan't to talk about stuff that doesn't realy have anything to do with the game you should start a vlog, not a game commentary.

[quote=BadgerDontCare]I absolutely detest commentators with nasally voices. If it's a guy, I want to hear a reasonably deep, stern voice that is clear, with no heavy accents. And if it's a girl, I really dislike when they "talk like girls", if that makes sense It should be an Alto voice, with the same kind of tone as the male voice I described.[/quote]

I don't watch many of these, but umm..

1. Not saying a word during cutscenes
2. Talking a little bit here and there, but not 24/7
3. Staying on the subject for most of the time
4. Enthusiasm
5. Not a smart-aleck
6. Doesn't try too hard to be funny, etc.
