Don't want to put your face out there on YouTube? No worries. These channel ideas will assist you in remaining anonymous while building a strong YouTube community.

Is it possible to create a YouTube channel without displaying your face?

In 2022, the answer is unequivocally yes.

But, to be honest, launching a faceless YouTube channel is just as difficult as starting one where everyone knows your identity. To compensate for the loss of face time, you'll need to incorporate additional visual components into your content, such as stock movies, photographs, graphics, and text. As a result, you'll spend more time modifying than other authors in the long term.

Nonetheless, there are several advantages to faceless content, including:

• Privacy protection on social media

• Keeping your boss from discovering you have a channel

• Protecting oneself from unfavorable opinions (family and friends)

• Having a pleasurable YouTube experience

Are you ready to begin? Here are the greatest YouTube channel ideas for those who don't want to disclose their faces.

1. Illustration/Animation

If you have animation abilities, you can easily become a faceless YouTuber. You can create 2D, 3D, or stop motion videos without appearing on-screen at all.

Take a look at this film by 3D artist Jake Fellman, for example. He frequently utilizes popular cultural trends (in this example, the urban legend Cartoon Cat) to create animated videos for billions of people.

On YouTube, you can also make whiteboard animations. Viewers see a series of hand-drawn graphics (on a digital whiteboard) that merge to make one tale – and they adore it.

However, if you are not a skilled artist, you may utilize a tool like VideoScribe to bring your whiteboard animations to life.

2. Videos of Reactions (Audio Only)

You've probably seen videos in which someone responds to a popular event on camera, gasping at the "wow" moments and giggling at the "oops" ones. If making response videos on YouTube isn't your thing, don't panic; there are other options.

You can do a verbal reaction instead if you don't want to reveal your face. Begin by screencasting the original video, then provide your thoughts through voice-over while you view it.

3. Video Games

The stuff we've seen on gaming channels is some of the greatest faceless entertainment out there.

Because the person playing the game is seldom the center of a gaming video, it's simple to create material without disclosing your identity. Simply screen record your gameplay, add some voice-over, and you've got yourself a YouTube video. You may create gaming tutorials, compile a list of your failures and victories, or take viewers through various assignments.

Do you need an example? Watch this funny Let's Game It Out video about the video game WorldBox.

4. ASMR

ASMR is an abbreviation for autonomous sensory meridian response. That's a fancy way of saying the tingling sensation you get when you listen to relaxing music. Yes, there are entire YouTube channels dedicated to that joyful feeling.

Gentle whispers are used by certain ASMR channels to calm viewers. Others imitate peaceful noises such as rains, rustling trees, and the turning of pages of a book. Because it's an audio experience, no one expects to see your face - similar to this waterfall video from Relaxing White Noise.

5. Product Evaluations and Unboxings

When you generate video evaluations, you are assisting individuals in making critical judgments. You'll respond to inquiries such, "Should I buy the most recent Honda hybrid or the most recent Toyota hybrid? Is it better to acquire the iPhone 12 or the Samsung Galaxy S21?"

Unboxing videos are more relaxed, and they usually do not include a review. Instead, the maker first opens the product's box to expose what's inside - sometimes without saying anything.

Check out the ASMR iPhone unpacking video below, for example.

The product is the focus of both types of videos. That means you can test the latest iPhone or unbox a waffle iron without revealing your identity. More than anything else, you'll display your hands handling the merchandise.

6. Time-Lapse

Have you ever seen a film where the morning sky transforms into darkness in a matter of seconds? You were witnessing a time-lapse at the time. The landscape looked to move at an impossible rate, but in reality, multiple photographs emerged in quick succession to produce a typical time-lapse.

Here's an amusing example: an ant colony spends 41 days eating half a marshmallow.

But it is only one method of doing the task. You may now create time-lapse films on an iPhone or with other Android mobile apps without displaying your face.

7. Relaxation Music

This is for all of you musicians out there. Viewers are almost waiting for you to create a YouTube channel if you compose peaceful music, such as ambient or lo-fi. Life is hectic, and we all require music for calm periods such as hiking, studying, and meditating.

For years, Lofi Girl (previously Chilled Cow) has been that musical source. Check out their never-ending stream of soothing music below. Of course, no faces!

8. Videos that Explain/Comment on/Motivate

What do you think? You don't have to switch on the camera to express yourself. You can achieve amazing things on YouTube if you're willing to incorporate additional aspects in your video, such as voice-over, graphics, and stock footage.

Alux.com creates films in this manner, and they have over 4 million subscribers. We've never seen a face on their channel, but each video features a female voiceover discussing money and banking.

Take a look at the video "100 Words Rich People Use."

9. Meditation with a Guide

Some people find it difficult to meditate alone. That is why novices seek out guided meditations on YouTube, particularly those conducted by kind educators.

Is it something you think you could do? The good news is that launching a meditation channel is less competitive than launching a gaming or music channel. We'd say you have a fighting chance if you have a soothing voice and thorough instructions!

Here's one from the Great Meditation YouTube channel.

10. Tutorials

Why not create a faceless how-to channel if you have a useful skill? There are other options to test, but you might like some of these:

• Tutorials for nail art

• Cooking demonstrations

• How to Make Videos

• Tutorials for software

• Lego constructions with instructions

• Crafting instructions

• Phone repair tutorials

• Painting demonstration videos

• Content about birds

• Videos for plant identification

11. True Crime/Scary Stories

Is Halloween one of your favorite holidays? Do you enjoy movies with mystery, suspense, and jump scares?

Maybe it's time to launch a YouTube horror channel. Your videos don't have to be terrifyingly scary, but a good element of tension will entice people to subscribe to your channel.

And if you want to exercise your imagination, horror stuff is the ideal setting. Some YouTube channels combine animation, actual crime, and narration to present the creepiest and most amusing stories.

IMR Scary Tales provides one example: "Animated Versions of 3 True McDonald's Horror Stories."

12. Top Ten Ranking Videos

Do you enjoy researching everything and everything in your spare time? If that's the case, that's a talent you can rapidly transfer to YouTube. You might spend your days ranking the best 10 movies, vacation places, pizza restaurants, and more, depending on your interests. Instead of displaying your face, you'll use photos, graphics, and voice-over to fill in the visual gaps.

And, of course, we have a fantastic example. Check out HelloGreedo's video ranking "Star Wars" movies from worst to finest.

But keep in mind that these are only basic concepts for launching a YouTube channel. You'll probably have to shape them to feel more like "you" and the stuff you're planned.
