Building Your On-Camera Presence
Use face cam or avatar, maintain consistent energy, and speak clearly with strong opinions. Personality drives commentary channel growth more than gameplay skill.
Balancing Fair Use & Opinions
Show 10-20% gameplay footage while you speak; focus 80% on your face and analysis. This falls within fair use while keeping audience engaged on your commentary.
