In Your Opinion. What are the basic requirements to be a good Game Based YouTuber?

So. What requirements do you think make a person a Game Based YouTuber?
Mind you these are opinions so nothing is fact based. =)

My requirements *Opinions* would be:
1. A decent, clean toned voice. If you sound like your gargling woodchips than it may not be the best thing for you.

2. A decent graphics card. Now this could be debatable but I believe the draw off limit would be anything integrated into the motherboard. >.<
3. Be fun! Speak up! I find it a bit annoying to watch a video of someone just playing the game and not commentating. An exception would be say they are so scared from playing a game that they cannot talk. That's okay by me.
4. Isn't afraid to try a plethora of game genres. I personally like First Person Shooters. That's my preference. But I am more than happy to try puzzle, action, MMO's, RPG's and the like. I enjoy a change of pace.
5. Have friends join in every once in a while. This one is just a personal preference but I like to have friends over to play Amnesia and stuff like that with. We all gather around the monitor and are horrified together. Because we are bro's!

I cannot think of anymore off the top of my head. ^_^; But this is by no means meant to be harsh to anyone. These are opinions based on personal preferences.

Check out my YouTube channel! If you want to. I am not forcing you. No seriously. I don't mind. Go ahead. It's alright if you leave. EVERYONE ALWAYS LEAVES! ;A;

6. Be original and be yourself - Although you can be influenced by other lets players, try not to copy them. most of the people will accuse you for copying and will rant and dislike your videos , try to come up with something original , which makes your channel stand out (although this can be hard , so I suggest that you just be yourself and don't force emotions etc.)

If your like me... DONT BE YOURSELF... You'll sound Shakespearean to them. You might even give off one of these.

<----- This is NOT COOL during a youtube video. That face shouldnt even be given after walking into a room in a FPS with your rifle having only 1 shot, no grenades and approximately 20hp when the room filled with facehuggers.

My opinion would be to be imaginative and creative, able to always think of things to say, have decent to good quality microphone/equipment and to have a clear voice, there are some people out there who know english but their accent makes it difficult to understand them (one of them is from the Bro Army ): sorry but I just have a really hard time understanding him )

In my Opinion, Uniqueness is key. It doesn't really matter how your tone of voice is. You can be 12 years old, high-pitched voice, and still be entertaining to an extent.
What I mean by Uniqueness, is that you don't reference Pewdie ever time you talk. Then you'll get haters commenting "Stop Copying Pewdie!" and so forth.

I find my channel is unique from most of the people on this forum, because I base my stuff around the Classic Genre, the retro age. Playing those old games I find Nostalgic.

Anyways, that's pretty much it.
