The first video on my YT channel!

[Staehilomyces]

Well, my YT channel is up! This is the first properly filmed video on the channel (previous ones were poorly shot phone vids). It is a feeding video of Poisonous Insect, my new E. rubripes. I apologise for the background noise and occasional stammering in my narration. I will improve my technique in the videos to come! Handling videos will be coming soon. Feel free to subscribe

Interesting, subbed.

Thanks. Please tell me you can put up with my narration...I can reduce the stammering, but I can't change my voice.

 

[Ratmosphere]

Very cool!

 

[Staehilomyces]

Thanks! Is my stammering too bad, or is it just me?

You sound perfectly normal. I don't think you really stammered much at all.
Nice job on getting your channel started. I subscribed as well.

 

[Staehilomyces]

Thanks for that. Maybe I'm just being over critical. I'm kinda new to the whole internet thing.

What an awesome centipede

Good video, nice to have a bit of info without the hyperbole. Nothing noticeable in your voice, it's not only normal, but a million times better than the over-energised stuff we usually get with people showing off big predatory inverts. The main advice I'd give you is get a tripod and set up your shots, focus etc. Think about an external mic or overdubbing, as right now, you get a lot of camera noise when handling it, assuming your mic is in the cam itself?

A thought, and not a criticism, is something I see a fair bit of on youtube; scientific latin mispronunciation, although the lines are not always too clear. It doesn't matter a lot, but in your example, I'd have went for roo-breh-pees, as the name is taken to mean red-foot, so I'm assuming a locale of this centipedes used for the description had red legs or red-tipped legs. Usually when we see "pes" at the end of a scientific name it's a reference to legs or feet (think centipede, after all)

Thanks for that. As a matter of fact, that was how I used to pronounce it, but I stopped when my friends started laughing at it (to this day, I don't know what's so funny about that pronunciation). As a side note, I was using a tripod, but taking videos are still something new to me, so it obviously wasn't top notch. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll be able to get some handling vids; they always seem to get some views, so they'll be useful in helping me get a following.
