I just had a brilliant idea for a YouTube channel. Too bad I'm not comfortable with public speaking, even online...

You know all those "American Reacts To ..." channels? The ones where an American gets their mind blown by the simplest things Europe? Turns out there don't seem to be any "European Reacts To American Reacts To ..." channels. 🤯

I'm ok with talking, but not showing my face. Maybe we could figure something out?

@SW-User I have plenty of commentary on those videos. Maybe you could speak mine together with your own. Or maybe I can find some good text to speech software to do my part and we can react together. Showing facial expressions would probably help, but it may be a succes without them.

@NerdyPotato I could audibly act out your reactions maybe?

As in: I reenact your audible reactions. Nothing else.

@SW-User that could work!

@SW-User I've done something with my channel. I'm also a bit camera shot, but thanks to the growing trend of vtubers (YouTubers who have an avatar instead of showing their faces), I can use my life-size Shadowfire doll as my avatar, and people just kind of go along with it. It's great.

@LordShadowfire what software do you use to create your avatar?

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@NerdyPotato I actually have several. I use Bing AI to do a lot of the raw artwork, and then I edit out the backgrounds and anything uncanny using Background Eraser for Android before using Meme Generator Pro for Android to insert the avatar into various situations. I also sometimes use Lumenor to fine-tune the images so they don't look so obviously photoshopped.

But my baby, the thing I'm most proud of in these efforts, is this handsome fella:

As you can see from this raw photo, I still have to edit the face a bit so it's not obvious that it's just a Halloween skeleton covered in cloth.
