I started to make videos of slot games about a month ago using camstasia studio 6. Would you guys mind giving me some feedback, and let me know how I can improve the videos please. Thanks

I was looking through a few different videos you have listed. I really love the quality.. The only thing I would say, to protect your videos (mainly because of the quality) I would watermark them.. So when/if people do steal them, you still get credit :)

Thank you, I figured out how to do that today! The last two or three videos should have my watermark in them. Can you hear when I click the keyboard? For some reason it is recording the computer mic.

Videos are a great idea and Youtube is an additional SEO ranking resource if done correctly.

Good you have your logo watermark in the videos now. In the future you may want to think about a short intro (logo, ideally animated with music), helps with brand building.

The sound is a little off, seems to be picking up your ambient office noise. Since you aren't doing a voice over you may want to consider deactivating voice recording and just keep it to desktop sounds.

Never tried camstasia before, but Cam Studio has always been good to us, its free too

They look very nice, but I would not watch them. I want to see real wins and real play.

But if you want to use them as a review on a page about the specific slot. That would be nice, but then you have to show all features and bonuses.

Definitely think about adding a watermark or intro as mentioned. It's really frustrating to see your videos uploaded by someone else and them taking credit for it. Intro looks nicer, but watermark is more "permanent" - somebody can edit the intro out if they really want, but they won't remove the watermark so easily (only by covering it with something else)

That robotic voice is really irritating. I would be a bigger fan of a human with personality.

The voice needs to be better if you want more people to watch your videos. I'd suggest getting someone on fiverr to do a voiceover.

Beside the automated generate voice, the audio is pretty bad. The rings and bells from the game is very bad. Try a better recording software.

I use to do alot of videos at my own expense, but this video turned £20 into £1000 that day.
You need an intro.
Do not use the casino name in the title.
Sort your channel name out!!!
Direct links to casinos works for me but with shortend urls, im fond of WP pretty links so players see a nice link that bounces them to the casino but bitly works fine too.
Get on fiverr and find work_in he can do some great custom intros for pennies (tell him i sent you)
If you want voices crack a deal up with a voice over person on fiverr.
Real money gets subscribers.
I have 4 youtube channels spread your work out, find which one works best then concentrate more on that one.
Crank your videos up to 720p and reduce the file size to 75% of the original
There are some cool tricks to get more views ;)
Turn off mouse sounds in camtasia
Do not have adverts
I could go on about youtube for hours its where most of my money comes from, i often watch my players vids and go "oh no, hes cleaned me out again this month"

Turn on the radio.
Good sound is half the race.
Is the voice computer generated?
Only use real voices.
Ask your neighbor.
Maybe he need a job as a microphone reader.

This is solid advice. Requires more of a time/money investment, but your videos come off far more professional and credible

I was going to use my visit/ and go/ folders for the reader to go directly to the casino. I wanted to get traffic to my sites and get some youtube links ( I know they are no-follow but I believe they help serps).

I am going to start a new channel and link them using my go/ and visit/ folders. I have to talk to a friend about doing voice overs, I need someone with a smooth voice.

Regarding the intro, I have found some video intros that look good on fiver and say the sound is not copywrited. I don't trust the people on fiver, I just use them for graphics now. I dont want to put together videos and have them taken down. Anyone have any recomendations for good intros to buy on fiver?

I am using a computer generated voice but I have tried a voice morphor but it sounds worse. I have made over 400 videos now using that voice, I am thinking of getting a friend to do a voiceover.
A friend or ... if possible ... a women, because female voices are most time like an invitation to imagine flowers' scent.

This is valid not only for casino business. I have given so many catering owners the suggestion, that a women should speak the welcome message on the telephone answering machine, because a wonderful female voice is a gift for the listeners.

If the ears are happy during a video, then the eyes will follow with the same feelings, and in the brain all emotions will blend to an unity.

An article I read recently said that most casinos use a lot of pictures of women on their site because for a guy, seeing a beautiful woman activates the same part of their brain that also favors risk taking. So the logic is; see a woman = gamble more. There's also some copywriting studies that indicate that men favor seeing women in ads/etc., while women are generally neutral, depending on the product. So it makes sense to use women. The only risk I can think of is overdoing it, and in result appearing like a "sleazy marketer".

The more you know!

Try recording only internal audio. This will achieve better quality of slots sounds. Then you can overdub a real voice as others mentioned and voila :)

Are you talking about Camstasia or another program like Adobe Premier? I have the adobe program but have only learnt Camstasia so far.
