Build you own style (Create better videos online)

Brooke Brodack goes live from Bali -- her first stop after leaving India -- to share her perspective on the future of YouTube and announce her creative consulting services. Fresh off months of travel through India, she explains why she prefers live streaming over pre-recorded content: the laptop microphone captures better audio than her iPad's 4K camera, and audio quality is the single most important element of good video content.

The video touches on a LinkedIn message asking Brooke to predict the next three years of YouTube. Her answer: more honest, timely, synchronistic, and fresh content. She recalls working with Sarah Austin on Pop 17 years ago when Austin predicted live would be the future -- a prediction Brooke now sees coming true. The rest of the stream introduces her creative coaching services, emphasizing inspiration-based guidance for YouTubers and traditional artists alike, and her work teaching people personally how to vlog and create meaningful content.
