Have you ever had a YouTube channel ?

Either for music, singing, food videos, etc? How was it overall? Did you upload videos every week?

I've been seriously considering starting my own channel there, to feature my singing/covers. I probably would start out just audio. And work up to myself being in a video singing. I just don't know anything about how often people usually upload... or if it is difficult to do? I only have my phone right now for audio/visual equipment, so I guess it would be a start anyway.

Cora I have one but am sporatic in uploads. i am going to be up front with you. People can be really mean on youtube and even worse the culture around American Idol has made it worse for people like you.

I am going beg you not to start a singing YouTube channel. I am begging out of compassion and concern for you as opposed to a reflection of your singing. You get down when people dont comment on here. on YouTube you will get comments but many if not most will not be nice.

Look up other singing channels / look at the comments . Given your current emotional state and how much of it hangs on others comments on your singing i think this is a really bad idea.

That and I apologize for being a nay sayer on your inspiration thread.

@robertsnj I appreciate your words however I guess people said you can turn off either negative comments or all comments.

@Coralmist there is an option to turn off comments, so that no one can comment on your video.

@twiigss can you turn off negative comments or just all comments?

@Coralmist just all comments, I've never known to be able to turn off negative comments, but I think you can filter comments, but not entirely sure how that works.
