YouTube career
Colleen Ballinger began her YouTube journey in 2006, where she posted videos of her vocal performances with friends. Though Ballinger's personal channel didn't really take off until her alias (MirandaSings) gained fame, her channel did begin to get some notice when she gave it more of a comedic feel. When she began to get recognized as "Colleen" instead of just "Miranda", she began to post every Friday to the PsychoSoprano channel. Her videos vary in content, and many of them are collaborations with other people including: her husband JoshuaDTV aka Joshua David Evans, her sister Rachel, and the international pop sensation Ariana Grande. Eventually she began to do a weekly Q&A on her channel, which she calls "Colleen's Corner". As of recently, viewers can submit their own jingle/intro for the beginning of each of her Tuesday Q&A's.
