Thanks for the feedback- I will be sure to simplify the script and use room tone in the next video!
Do you have any suggestions for blogs/guides I can read up on for other tips?
Cheers!

The Value of Starting a Giving What We Can/EA Chapter
EA Vloging
Hey Tom, not sure about TLYCS’s study, but we plan to make ours public (and I imagine they will too!)
What do I do as the Director of Community for Giving What We Can?
Hey Jonathon, this is a really great initiative! Giving What We Can is currently in the process of designing an experiment to test the effectiveness of our pamphlets. We were hoping to run it in London some time late January, early February. We should coordinate on our experiment design [I will post more details on the forum once we have firmed up details about the experiment design].
I would be happy to be on the list as well! My email is: jonathan.courtney@givingwhatwecan.org Cheers!
Also, if you are interested in getting in contact with Giving What We Can members/chapters/meet-ups please feel free to email me!

Agreed- part of valuing the pledge at $20,000US (rather than the $150,000US that the median earner would donate over their life time) is an attempt to capture this sort of counter-factual concern.
I also totally agree about your point about personal connections- I think many people find that they do a lot to motivate them to do more for EA- just another way that chapters are awesome!
