Hello guys, welcome to another episode of
-
TwoSet Violin.
-
How are y'all during this crisis situation?
-
Hope everyone is okay, staying home.
-
Today we have a really...
-
Annoying episode where ads...
-
Just keep going...
-
Ads that promote fake playing.
-
This app is called... What is it?
-
Let's let the ad speak for itself.
-
- I love how they just add that right there. - Simply piano.
-
Yeah, including the piano.
-
Yeah.
-
Can I just say too, I love whoever uploaded this ad,
-
like the screen recording, called it...
-
That's not even from us.
-
That looks a bit green screen, no?
-
Yes, something looks dodgy.
-
It doesn't look right.
-
Just like the acting, doesn't look right.
-
Yeah.
-
From what I'm seeing, they're basically trying to appeal
-
to the insecurity of parents.
-
Yeah, that their kid hasn't made it yet.
-
Yeah, cause they want to feel like their...
-
Kid is more superior and talented.
-
I feel like the ad director put in that sound to like...
-
Hypnotize us the viewers, it's like...
-
How nice...
-
Wow...
-
Buy the app.
-
More like...
-
Dude.
-
And look, if you really wanted to brag about your kid,
-
you would send them to music lessons anyway.
-
Did you think this app is gonna help your kid sound
-
better than Ling Ling,
-
who is getting professional lessons every week?
-
40 hours a day.
-
There's more, actually...
-
Oh, there's more?
-
There's more ads.
-
Oh.
-
I guess they're going for the fun angle this time.
-
They're trying to hit every target market.
-
Well, there's more.
-
- Just wait. There's more. - Dude, these marketers are savage.
-
They're going all angles.
-
You are selling it.
-
Dude...
-
She got paid...
-
- To... - To...
-
Make an ad pretending that...
-
It's not an ad.
-
Yeah.
-
I really like this TwoSet Apparel shirt.
-
TwoSet Apparel, you guys should really sponsor us.
-
Oh, yeah, TwoSet -
-
We really like this shirt.
-
Please sponsor me for this.
-
To me, it's not so much that
-
what's happening on screen is not feasible.
-
It's more just...
-
How...
-
Blatantly scripted everything is, yet, how...
-
- And like the - Just - - How - Yeah, they tried to pretend to be so...
-
What's the word? Authentic.
-
It's authentic. Yeah.
-
I remember the next one was really cringe.
-
Oh my god...
-
Oh wow...
-
- Like it's so fake... - The fact that they went for it.
-
But it's so fake that I'm almost impressed.
-
I feel like...
-
They're marketing Simply Piano as a...
-
Substitute parent.
-
I can't parent my kid properly and
-
make him do beneficial things.
-
But now he's gonna discover this app
-
and now he'll just improve by himself and
-
I don't have to deal with them.
-
Is Simply Piano trying to
-
- diss the whole video game market? - Yeah, like excuse me...
-
It's called e-sports.
-
I don't know man, I feel like some video games would...
-
Develop your brain more than Simply Piano.
-
And manuscripts will suffice.
-
- Just get a manuscript. - Get a manuscript.
-
It's gonna hurt the kid's eyes, if anything.
-
Just get the manuscript.
-
Look, I get it. It's an ad.
-
At the end of the day, ads are designed to sell.
-
But this is like...
-
It's borderline emotionally manipulative.
-
but in a way where it's like...
-
It's also so blatant.
-
I grew up depressed...
-
And sad...
-
I didn't have any friends.
-
But then I started wearing TwoSet Apparel.
-
All my friends are also wearing TwoSet Apparel.
-
And so we all became friends and bonded over...
-
A shared...
-
Shared cotton.
-
Oh wait, what's this?
-
The mother in this ad who's also heartfelt...
-
Is actually an actor as she appeared in a different ad.
-
If you manage a team you have to try Monday.com.
-
Ohh!!!
-
- Everything– They're paid actors. They're all... - This is bullsh**.
-
- They don't actually use the product. - Scripts.
-
They're all scripted and they're just saying it.
-
She - That's probably not even her kid.
-
She probably never used the app before
-
and she was given a script.
-
Monday.com is a platform to track everything
-
your team is working on.
-
We use it for all of our projects,
-
marketing, product development,
-
HR, creative production.
-
My script says marketing, HR...
-
Marketing, HR, it's so good.
-
I love Monday.com because it's totally customizable and
-
that's something I couldn't find in
-
any other management tool.
-
How many project management softwares
-
have you used?
-
Ms. uh...
-
Mother of child.
-
I thought you're busy parenting.
-
Yeah.
-
This is a whole roast video.
-
I know, this became a video...
-
I was like, f*** it, we're going there.
-
Here's another girl like trying to make it look candid.
-
- Yeah. - And like real life selfie style.
-
We see what you're doing there.
-
Oh just like slip that in...
-
Because - She like - She's just -
-
Someone's just gonna like -
-
This is like, you know when you meet someone...
-
And they're like trying -
-
- You're just having a conversation. - Trying to show off...
-
- Yeah. - They just can't help but slip in like...
-
Oh, you got back pain?
-
Yeah. I also got back pains when I deadlifted 200 kilos.
-
- Yeah... - More like the... You know?
-
That people that do that?
-
- Wow! - Wow!
-
Ladies and gentlemen...
-
10-year-old on the piano.
-
They say if you blink over 5 times in one go...
-
There's 99% chance you're making it up.
-
Claire Connor on the piano!
-
How do you - How do you let an app judge...
-
How you play, like...
-
How is that - There's no way the app is
-
listening to you for correct notes.
-
How's the app gonna measure your tone quality?
-
Well, it's a keyboard, so...
-
That's true.
-
- Maybe that's why the ads are all keyboards. - Yeah, it's like, "yeah! consistent!"
-
Since when did kid think things are impossible?
-
Yeah, whoever wrote that script messed up.
-
Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.
-
I think every kid has a creative...
-
Freedom more so than most of us.
-
- Yeah. No kid would say that. - No kid would be like...
-
"That is impossible."
-
How does the kid even know it's impossible?
-
Kid probably like, "I want to do it."
-
- "I want to learn it." - Yeah.
-
- Anything is possible as a kid. - Good point.
-
Oh, they are trying to say like sheet music is harder
-
- And then this app is compatible - How to read - - Gonna teach you to...
-
Why don't you just start with sheet music?
-
Yeah.
-
I really love my mom...
-
They have not once mentioned
-
what the features of the app are.
-
What's the interface like?
-
How are they teaching people to play?
-
They don't mention any of it. They're like...
-
"I love my mom."
-
Yeah, it's sheet music on the app anyway.
-
How does she learn to do it?
-
And how annoying would it be to like restart it again
-
and go back to the beginning.
-
- Tsk. - Tsk.
-
- God damn it. - Tsk.
-
Yeah, bonus!
-
Alright, this one is not Simply Piano.
-
But it's another app that's...
-
Claims to teach how to learn an instrument.
-
And yeah, let's watch it.
-
Dude, that violin is photoshopped.
-
I know.
-
- It's floating on the table. - Looks so confusing right now.
-
They couldn't even afford to get a violin?
-
Yeah, they're MIDI, guys.
-
That is the worst MIDI I have heard in my life.
-
So bad...
-
It's too fast for Meditation.
-
Too fast.
-
*Humming music*
-
Not a good start.
-
Yeah.
-
How does virtual reality help you play violin again?
-
Imagine putting on those goggles,
-
so you can't see what your hands are doing.
-
- Oh my god... - That's not virtual reality.
-
- What is that thing? Yeah. - That's piano tiles.
-
I've never heard any violinist refer to it as left fingers.
-
- It's left hand. Yeah. - Left hand.
-
And also the notation is a bit weird.
-
Yeah, why is it...
-
Da - da - da - da! da - da - da -
-
Like why is there a down bow there?
-
It's all wrong.
-
Dude! This is Brahms' Lullaby!
-
Dude, that's also wrong, the simulation...
-
The virtual reality is wrong.
-
The bow's too close to the fingerboard on the E string.
-
It's gonna crunch.
-
- They use like this much bow for the... - I know.
-
- Da da da dun dun dun dun. - Top D.
-
Use the whole bow, oh my god.
-
Oh, wow, oh, wow, cause...
-
Changing the angles really gives you
-
the better perspective.
-
It gives me a better perspective of
-
how wrong the simulation is.
-
The bow's not...
-
Look at the bow, look how short the bow is.
-
The bow should be on the left side.
-
No beginner's gonna learn that.
-
Yeah, that piece, on the left by Bach...
-
I guarantee you need at least 4, 5 years.
-
Yeah.
-
The notation clef here...
-
- It's completely wrong. - In the background, it's going the wrong way.
-
Oh my god.
-
Any teacher that uses this...
-
I want to talk to you and be like...
-
How are you doing? Are you okay?
-
It's just preying on people that don't
-
understand what learning music instrument is like.
-
Yep.
-
I think...
-
If you can afford...
-
Maybe just...
-
Four lessons...
-
Just to get you started, get you set up.
-
And then just in your own time,
-
download free sheet music online...
-
- And then just try it. Yeah. - And just play.
-
And if
