0:00 This is a video dedicated to all the bedroom DJs out there
Alright folks, this is a video dedicated to all the bedroom DJs out there. Now then, the reason I'm saying this is there's one of the videos I put up, Lesson 4 Turntablist Move Edit in Acapella. Did it about, what was it, March 16th? No, 2007. A comment left by Wavy Virus. Now there it is. I'll read it out to you as well, OK? There are some people out there that may be partially sighted. And I said that some of the most skilled DJs are not well known and don't play clubs. Surely you know there are thousands of bedroom DJs, some who have been DJing as a hobby for years and are technically very skilled. Sorry, some of the big club DJs, sorry, big club names, sorry I beg your pardon, mix pretty poorly. Now then, again, let me just move the camera again. This is the problem, you see, five or six years ago, you could be in your bedroom, you could be doing a mix and you're fantastic. But, of course, if only your mates are listening to you and just you, then no one's going to know you. Now the beauty about YouTube now...
1:25 Wider picture
This is the fantastic thing. We're breaking new grounds here because it's about time that you started getting the limelight. It's about time you started getting known. But again, let's look at the wider picture. Let's say you're a comedian. Let's say you're a stand-up comedian. Let's say you're a cook, you're a chef. You're a DIY enthusiast or whatever and you've got just this small, tiny little thing that you know about and you'd like to show other people. Well, of course, you know years ago, put an advert in a magazine or tell your friends down the road. Well look what we're doing now. We're actually touching people around the world and this is really important. This is very important. And again, I hope with regards to the DJing side of things as well, that if you are in a position to do a mix...
2:22 You get rid of one hater, you will always have another one
However long or short it doesn't really matter. A lot of the time people are just looking for the style of music you're playing and of course they're looking to see how good you are at transitions, that's going from one song to the other, and also just the way you put the music together. If people can see that you can do it well then they may get in touch, they may want to know where you are. The DJ Tutor is a great place, but then again there are some very strange people out there. You get rid of one hater, you will always have another one. So the best thing is just to let them wash away. So again, this is what we're looking at. You could get work through YouTube just by putting one or two videos up there. In other words, what I'm saying is you're getting heard now. You're getting seen in your bedroom, in the middle of nowhere.
Everyone around the world can watch you and it's all thanks to YouTube so practice and enjoy. Thanks for watching.
