I recently tweeted “Any creators follow me that are AGAINST scripting their videos?”
And ya’ll come out of the woodwork! Who knew writing a few words on a page prior to hitting record was so controversial?
And I mean, I guess it makes sense, as creators, we wanna feel as though our authentic, straight-from-the-heart witty banter is why viewers keep coming back.
I also saw a bunch of creators saying that reading off a script just makes you sound robotic but I have a little surprise for you, I’ve been reading this intro off a teleprompter the whole time, could you tell?
But the question remains…is there a right way and a WRONG way - should you script it or wing it?
So I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all.
George Blackman is a consulting scriptwriter who has written for creators like Ali Abdaal, Ed from Film Booth, and…me. I consider him an expert on all things audience retention and scriptwriting.
Milo AKA MrRoflWaffles, on the other hand, has been making gaming & lifestyle content since 2009, with over 1.8M YouTube subscribers, He’s passionate about the creator economy, brand-creator relations, esports and the potential/pitfalls of Web3.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know:
Whether certain types of creators would benefit from scripting more than others?
Is it possible to succeed on YouTube without planning or outlining anything before you hit record?
Who is a better Creator Debater: George or Milo?
