> The guy's voice is almost a whisper, the ambient sounds from the garden or the forest or the road are oddly pleasant, and he's speaking pretty slowly, with none of these glitchy quick cuts you see in a lot of YT content. It's also unusually personal-feeling, like he's just talking to you. This is how I feel about TheReportOfTheWeek, aka Reviewbrah. He reviews fast food items in his house or backyard in a single take and averages 100k-200k views per video (with some outliers). No fancy editing, no team of video assistants, just a genuinely charming guy reviewing cheap food in a nice suit in front of a fixed camera.

As someone who records videos without editing, that one take video could still be 19th or 30th take :) Although he's probably practiced enough he can do it in less than that. For me though, I have to restart a bunch of times. Usually that final take still has flubs, but it had the least glaring ones. The ones I do are usually rules explanations or brief overviews of my game designs that are intended to enter into contests or pitch the game to publishers, often finished right before the deadline (sometimes just an hour before) so I don't have time to video edit even if I wanted to. Like here's the most recent one I did, for a dice puzzle coop zombie themed game (I know zombies are an overused theme, I wasn't even trying to design a zombie themed game at first, it just fit the mechanisms best). Still screwed up a few things: https://youtu.be/uEBKKW7I8RM https://youtu.be/uEBKKW7I8RM
