I… don’t know if this is the right place to talk about this? But, well. My girlfriend is at work and can’t respond right now, and I don’t have a huge friend group irl, mostly work friends I’m not super close to and my family. But I really need to run this idea by somebody and get feedback, so I figured you guys may have some feedback to give me? Idk.
Anyway. I recently started working at a call center, and I’ve been getting a few comments here and there about people saying I should do voiceovers or something. Which, I mean, I try not to take too seriously. But I’ve also really wanted to do YouTube or Twitch or something, and I’ve toyed with the idea of being a Vtuber before. I think I might have finally put together my ideas and passions enough to find a niche, though.
I love mystery and crime. Which… might not be super surprising considering I partially write about Batman, and that’s likely what you guys follow me for. I’ve always been a huge crime and mystery junkie, but true crime on YouTube (in my opinion) and stuff gets too invasive and sometimes even insensitive for me to consider it for myself. That’s just me. But, well… I also recently got super into Hunt a Killer, which if you don’t know is a murder mystery game company.
If you have ever played Hunt A Killer, you’ll know that their games involve a lot of reading. It’s fashioned to be like real investigations, so there are a lot of witness testimonies, case descriptions, and other documents that you have to read word for word in order to get to the clues you need. I don’t mind it myself, I can breeze through thousands of words of reading on any old day. But it can be hard for some people to maybe maintain focus that long, or maybe it’s physically hard for them to read so much printed wording. Or, even, maybe people just want to listen to it or find it easier to pick out important details if they have a narration to read along to.
This brings my question; I have some minor experience with video and audio editing. If I started a channel narrating Hunt a Killer mystery games, with one video as spoiler-free narration of the included materials, one video explaining the significance of each piece of evidence and how to solve codes, and one video giving the solution and breaking down how to get to that conclusion… is that a good idea? Is it something you’d be interested in watching, or know someone else who may like watching it?
