Your audience is waiting | Becoming a YouTube vlogger | Chris Broad | TEDxTohokuUniversity

Chris Broad is the creator of ‘Abroad in Japan,’ one of the largest foreign YouTube channels in Japan, with over 375,000 subscribers and 35 million views. Through the channel, he shares his experiences of life in Japan with the world, with videos featured in the global media, from the BBC and the Guardian, to Gizmodo and the Nikkei. In the last year he’s focussed the channel on featuring the region of Tohoku, in the hope of showcasing to the world what he considers to be Japan’s best kept secret. In his talk he highlights the power of Youtube as a tool for opening doors to the world and encourages the audience to share their experiences through Youtube, at a time when it’s never been easier to create engaging videos with a global audience.
