Trying to do the YouTube thing

Happy Holidays, lovely readers!

So I'm trying to stay positive and productive, and I've made some things!!

Early in November, I made an impressions video for Brizzy, and it actually turns out that she used some of my video for her video to celebrate hitting one million subscribers!  I'm still a bit in shock, to be honest, but I'm so happy to be included!  I feel like I'm a part of this YouTube community!

Then I filmed another food thing, a second episode for Dashing Dara, but I think I improved it a bit especially by finally making a thumbnail for it and trying out new angles.

Oh!  And I uploaded my first BookTube video!  Yay!  It's super long, and I don't think anyone will ever want to watch the whole thing through, but my goal was to just get started, and so I did!  I plan to make my future videos shorter and more concise.  Gotta work on that.

And now, my most recent video.  I made another TLT (The Little Things) video.  These are actually the easiest videos for me to make since so far I haven't decided to put much more than minimal effort into editing.  I just kinda have fun making these tiny little clips where I show off a tiny piece of my life in Japan.  I like it as is for now.  I hope to make more of them since there are so many things I want to share!

So yay!  So far, I've got two videos per month for two months in a row.  I hope I can keep this up and eventually increase it to three times a month and then, gasp, maybe once a week.

I know I'm still pretty newb at this, but I hope that as I keep recording and editing videos, my content will become better and better....and I'll become more and more comfortable in front of a camera.  Every day I think more and more about how much fun it would be to be an entertainer, a performer, an actor, and more specifically, a voice actor.  I need to learn to be confident and to be myself in front of a camera.  So yeah, here goes my journey to becoming a better me. :)

Christmas Time is Here ~

I realize that I have been posting a lot of content that isn't necessarily related to my daily life in Japan, and sometimes I want to share a short little story, but I just forget to write it down here or think maybe it's not even worth mentioning.  Enough!  I do what I want!  So here's a little bit of what happened today.

Today I had class with the second years.  They made Christmas cards that I'm going to send to friends in the US, and some are whatever quality like you can tell they're just trying to get it done, and then there were some really awesome ones, and, of course, a lot of variety in between.

This week I'm also receiving the gingerbread cookies and Christmas trees I assigned two weeks ago, and the results are always interesting, just like last year.
