Bad Language Warning(i may have cussed in a few of these tuts so please don't view/listen if you will be offended)

Music Warning(not all of these videos have sound, the ones that do have music playing in the background that may not be to your taste)

this is also posted in the tutorials section but i figured that i may as well post it in here as well

well i made these for a mate who runs a graphics forum but I may as well post them on here if people can get something out of them. Mainly random stuff for beginners but i'd advise anyone to check them out so you can hear my husky voice...lol

I like the video content, but the "typing to the viewer" is a bit slow.. I tend to like a lively voice that engages the user.

It is also sort of annoying that we see your entire interface and a word of caution.. let the user choose a music track from their playlist. Not only due to differences in style, but the sound drowns you out.

There's NO sound when I play them.
Plus its not very pro like when you type in clipping masks can cause F*c* up's

Oh yeah the live trace one we have noise :)

Let the user choose a music track from their playlist. Not only due to differences in style, but the sound drowns you out.

I agree with Matt.

oops, my bad on the language. I'll edit the post to include a language warning.

Sorry if they're a bit amateurish for posting on here, also the music is a bit eclectic i must admit but the original forum I posted them on was a little more forgiving of my musical tastes. I know it drowns me out in places but that's more to do with the fact I have a mumbling problem and I'm not really comfortable speaking out loud http://www.photoshopcafe.com/cafe/images/smilies/blush.gif

I find the streaming of the audio very choppy. I think if your going to offer an online video, you should consider reducing your capture size. If you want to offer a larger size, then maybe make it a MOV file or MP4 that people can download. I'd like to watch your tutorials but I rather download them then watch as the streaming is choppy.
