Feature #1: Favorite YouTube Channels

Lately, I have been wondering of a feature for my all-time favorite YouTube channels, and decided why not?! I won't be breaking them down to categories since there's not much of channels that I subscribe to, and I'm posting to whatever suits my tastes. And another notice, I am NOT, in a way, affiliated with these channels. Also, they are not ranked, just listed them.

 - This is the channel of an exceptional male violinist named Daniel Jang. He does covers from a variety of musical genres ranging from popular music, to K-POP and Chinese songs, to classical music. I myself is also a violinist and love how he manipulates the strings and the bow to do his bidding. So for lovers of  violin and soothing music, check this channel out. I will be providing a screen shot of his channel below.  

- Also a male violinist who does covers just like metalsides, though this guy, Jun Sung Ahn, is Korean by blood and preferred more K-POP and Popular songs than classical ones. He also arranges mash-ups, my personal favorite is his mash-up of Yiruma's 'River Flows In You' and Taeyang's 'Wedding Dress' which you can check out here: River Flows In You/Wedding Dress.


- Another male cover artist who collaborates with co-YouTube cover artists to make their own renditions of selected popular songs with their almost too-professional cinematography, which seemed like more of a music video than a cover. Alex Goot is a talented New Yorker who plays the piano, guitar, drums, accordion, some percussions and yeah, he sings wonderfully. I have no idea who edits his recordings but if he does then he's good. If I'm correct, he's on tour with his fellow cover artists. Check his channel for more information.


- From male cover artists, let's go to a popular(?) YouTube comedian, *drum roll* Ryan Higa. Yes, he's the one who made a video with Jeremy Lin! And I realized that 5 months after viewing the vid, I know lame. But anyways, I love this channel because it's fresh, funny and somewhat of a stress reliever. Ryan Higa is a natural comedian, that's in my opinion. He makes me roll on the floor laughing. So if you want to give him a try, click away!

- Apparently, these YouTube comedians bring out my asthma outbreaks because I just can't stop laughing at their crazy antics, not to mention Papa Jumba. So this is the channel of Kevin Jumba, another Asian YouTube comedian. He also had the chance to feature Jeremy Lin in one of his comedy videos. For an asthma outbreak, be sure to click this dude's channel.

- Ball-jointed Dolls anyone? Andreja's channel can help you with that. This channel is more of Andreja's 'faceup stories' that features her designing the head of a ball-jointed doll. I think she accepts orders and some gets to be featured as a faceup story. If my coordinates are right, she's residing in Austrailia. Anyone is free to correct me if they know Andreja's real location.

- Who would have thought that a novel author would be an active Internet person?! Well, John Green is, and together with his brother Hank Green, with a couple of people to do scripts, animation and stuff, they're good to go with a very subjective educational YouTube channel. The channel tackles about a variety of topics, from Literature to History to Biology. Both the Green brothers take place in hosting a short clip. I recommend this channel to those who wants to learn things, and they might use these as very good audio-visual supplements for studying.

- Copic marker artists? Miss Kerrie Jenkins sure is a talented one. Though her channel doesn't necessarily contain tutorials, I still like it because she's just purely talented. Click to see her masterpieces.


These are just a few of my favorite channels, and there are more I'm willing to share. I'll spare some time soon, and don't forget to check these channels out, they're worth it. xx
