Any opinions on my improvisation?

Hmmm, perhaps you can give us a background of your music playing. I'm guessing classical training mostly. I don't hear any jazz or pop influences.

The piano itself is slightly out of tune which makes it hard to listen to at times. Be more smooth and flowing with the melody. It sounds a bit robotic.

I notice this with improvs done by people who play only classical, they tend to use arpeggio patterns found in exercise books in the left hand. But it doesn't sound musical.

Also, you tend to "bang" the keys in the louder passages, 7:20-8:00. It sounds grating and annoying.

but don't worry, I looked at your other vids, and you are only a kid so still lots of time to improve!

Maybe try taking a simple song and using that melody and really make it sing.

You got good technique, now turn that into musical emotional content so it connects with people.
