Thinking about making a youtube channel but I don't know if I can. I've posted here before, took it down because I'm shy and I forgot the login for this account for months😭 (apologies for anyone I didn't answer) But yeah, what it says. I'm not too shy to speak and I stutter only mildly, but I'm afraid it's distracting or something if I am to produce content. I was thinking about making a channel where I'd talk about historical stuff and miscellaneous topics, but today I was trying to record a 20 second video to post on IG for something unrelated and it ended up with 3 or 4 cuts because it just didn't sound great on video — I feel like this would be annoying in a long form video, but I don't really know. I'm not that charismatic to the camera and honestly I don't want the fact I happen to stutter to be focal point either. I don't know what I expect of this post, but if anyone has any similar experience or tips, do tell)
