Idea #11: Vlogging!

Here is my VLOG: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/590755814 (Audio issue in the beginning, I talk about it after I fix it mid video)

The goal of my video was to be genuine and show what I really do during my day. Act normal and talk normal to the people I normally talk to and just be myself and show off what I do.

I accomplished my goal greatly I think because my friends that support me showed up to the stream and talked in the chat which gave me people to talk to and I found myself responding how I usually would. Maybe next time I won’t have an audio error in the beginning and remember to not mute my mic before I start the VLOG.

My favorite YouTuber is probably David Dobrik. He’s a Vlogger and he’s just an insanely awesome human being and I aspire to positively impact the world as much as he has.

He’s just a great person with a great sense of humor. He does things that are really funny and stupid but also does wholesome things to help people.

The lessons I can learn from David Dobrik is being yourself, having fun, surrounding yourself with good people, and helping others and smiling.

Authenticity is how genuine or true / real you are. If you’re putting on a persona, I don’t see that as being authentic to who you are.

Performance is when you put on a show to entertain others. Some streamers have authenticity, some use performance personas to entertain.

I think they’re opposites, a performance usually doesn’t contain authenticity unless you’re doing “performing” something you would do. If you’re doing things you wouldn’t do just as a performance, it’s not authentic. They exist together rarely.

The clip in the studio is more performance because he’s live in front of an audience that he has to entertain and there’s just a different feeling between being right in front of someone and needing to entertain them and being on video needing to entertain them.
