I just changed up my newsletter to include video content. Im hoping this will help me grow my newsletter. I have never done video before and looking to get as much feedback on the video as possible.
I know the video is not great but what would be some quick wins to improve it?
Do your worst
I am not an expert, but:
It's sounds like you need to be quiet because you have a sleeping baby in the next room. (I have the same problem)
New post. I thinking the audio is better.
Video quality still needs some work.
Very curious what you think

You should cut out this "inception"-thingy on the beginning.
Nobody wants to see that.
Your beginning:
"Let's take a look quick at Scriptable. Emmm. So Sciptable basically is.."
A more exciting beginning everyone loves to hear could be:
"Can you write javascript? Yes? Then stay with me because i am about to show you how to write awesome scripts for you iphone, that use native APIs so you can build some awesome features/stuff".
too many "so"s and "em"s. Don't do "emmmm" when you wait on something to happen on your screen. Cut it off in post production (imovie/final cut)
you sound like you are really stressed? or under pressure? relax man!
On the bright side
Thanks for all these great tips. I had come to same conclusion on the audio and excitement points. Great catch on the blurry code. Thats a big one.
I'll just echo what dawid said: The audio is really low. I could barely hear you while watching the video.
The sound was a bit better on the newer video, but still a bit low for some reason.
Since you are making tutorial videos, here are a few things I think would improve your channel:
You can talk louder and with more confidence. You can also edit your video down to maybe 2-3 minutes and still get the same point across. Editing is incredibly important so cutting out anything you don't need can dramatically improve the watch experience. For any programming tutorial make sure to make your font size really big on your IDE so people watching can see the code.
