Darren
Teh from “An Honest Mistake” has
shared with us regarding how Youtube has affected the music industry nowadays.
With Youtube and other social media, they were able to have an extra reach.
They have uploaded their practice videos, music videos and etc to youtube. Some
of the people have been seeking for how it would be like when a band is
jamming. Thus, the videos he uploaded actually helped these people learn more
about it. Apart from being an entertainment platform, Youtube is a good source
for education.
Apart
from that, the media members have also asked the local acts and the Youtube
representatives regarding hints on becoming youtuber. (All these can be viewed
through video coverage here: )
