I recently tweeted “Any creators follow me that are AGAINST scripting their videos?”

And y'all come out of the woodwork! Who knew writing a few words on a page prior to hitting record was so controversial?

And I mean, I guess it makes sense, as creators, we wanna feel as though our authentic, straight-from-the-heart witty banter is why viewers keep coming back.

I also saw a bunch of creators saying that reading off a script just makes you sound robotic but I have a little surprise for you, I’ve been reading this intro off a teleprompter the whole time, could you tell?

But the question remains…is there a right way and a WRONG way - should you script it or wing it?

So I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all.

George Blackman is a consulting scriptwriter who has written for creators like Ali Abdaal, Ed from Film Booth, and…me. I consider him an expert on all things audience retention and scriptwriting.

Milo AKA MrRoflWaffles, on the other hand, has been making gaming & lifestyle content since 2009, with over 1.8M YouTube subscribers, He’s passionate about the creator economy, brand-creator relations, esports and the potential/pitfalls of Web3.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

1. Whether certain types of creators would benefit from scripting more than others?
2. Is it possible to succeed on YouTube without planning or outlining anything before you hit record?
3. Who is a better Creator Debater: George or Milo?
