How I Write & Use SCRIPTS for YouTube Videos

so someone in the comments asked me how I write and use scripts for my YouTube videos so a super short video today about scripts now it's nothing special that I do but I guess that I've developed my own personal techniques and tricks first of all I don't use a teleprompter now there's nothing wrong with using one of course but I don't and well I'm used now to recording videos without the teleprompter but again nothing wrong with using one that's a choice you have to make okay and then the scripts I do write scripts but how

do I use them how do I read them well when I started my YouTube channel I wrote a script for every video like every word every sentence I wrote down but I never read the script and I also wrote everything down like I speak in spoken language if that makes sense so with all the stop words and the ums and the uh and everything yeah and I still do it that way and then I always had my laptop with the script in front of me I memorized a sentence or a few sentences and then I

reproduced those sentences and front of the camera now back then I reproduced them exactly like I wrote them down literally exactly the same way these days usually when I start talking it comes out a bit different you know because of the moment and I mean in my brain things change I guess but it's still there it's there right now but there was one big problem back then with that technique and that's that you have the whole script in front of you and you read and reproduce a few sentences but then of course you have to

read and reproduce the next part and I don't know I always felt some kind of pressure because even though I think it's okay to have jump Cuts I don't want them to be too in your face if you know what I mean and so whenever I started memorizing the next part I always had to think about the position of my hands my head where I was in the frame so that the jump cut wouldn't be too in your face and it gave me so much pressure so it wasn't ideal it worked but not ideal but

okay these days I do it differently I made it a bit easier on my brain on on the pressure so first of all I don't write entire scripts anymore for every video if it's a I don't know a rant video like last video then I just write down keywords the topics the things I want to talk about I built the content with keywords and then usually it becomes a more spontaneous video you know because your brain does things and well yeah you know how it goes but if it's a very specific topic a very technical

topic for example then I still write down every single sentence in spoken language of course and that's because yeah I'm not a native English speaker so those difficult words technical words they don't come to me that fast and so I don't want to like start thinking when I'm recording the video so I want to write down everything first before I start recording the video then it's also already you know in my head like the difficult words so I write down every sentence like I did when I started my channel but and this is the difference

I write everything down with the b-roll already in mind so when the script is finished I highlight the parts where I'm gonna put b-roll usually in yellow and so yeah when I'm sitting here the script is right there I can memorize a part I read what I need to say what I want to reproduce and like I said most of the time I don't reproduce it exactly as I wrote it down but close enough but now there's none of that pressure because I know that I can memorize a small part and then there's going to

be b-roll and you know sometimes I can do an entire part until the b-roll in one go no jump Cuts or nothing and then when there's b-roll you don't see me so it doesn't matter if there is any jump Cuts or anything and then next is another small part until the next b-roll and that's how I record the video and it takes away a lot of that pressure because there's not like an entire blank white script it's filled with yellow parts and those yellow Parts they peace of mind yeah that's how I write and use

scripts these days for my YouTube videos I hope it helps thank you so much for watching and see you in the next one
