This job is me right here, but I'm too rusty and just slightly getting decent as you can see from my streams, but if anyone else sees before too late..

The clip is when I tried to do this when I was in college. As just from listening you could tell, I was young.

People pay you to record yourself playing games

People pay you to record yourself playing games

That is correct. I did not get paid to do this, due to I do not will the skill to get a group of people to do anything apparently. But yes there was and kind of still is a whole industry of this. It has died down mostly because, it became easier to get into and do animation if you have the money.

But yea I wanted to get in during the height of it. I will definitely say it was another industry wave or whatever you call that we (black people) missed out on. Yea the concept is kind of silly but hey people paid for it. There are some youtube channels, where they build their entire channel/ money base off of acting out stuff in the game GTA V, pretty much you mod in what you want if you know how to do it or you could just puppeteer the characters in the game then record the video and add the voice overs in Post of course.
