Callum Davies adopts a cheerful gossipy tone as he acts out small skits taken from everyday life in hundreds of videos.
Text titles at the top of the screen describe the situation, for example "when your friend’s alarm starts randomly going off at 6am at a sleepover".
Another says "me vibing to the same song I’ve played 23 times today".
Davies has racked up over 450,000 followers and more than 32 million likes on TikTok, the social media platform for creating and sharing short form videos.
His journey into being a content creator began in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, posting short skits as a teacher talking to pupils.
Examples included a teacher addressing the "toilet incident", or acting differently when the principal walks into the classroom.
By posting consistently every day the numbers of views slowly increased, he said.
"It would be 50,000 and then 100,000 and then I’m getting a million views of a video."
In some of his videos he has a conversation to a person off camera.
"I am the only person in my videos, so I just do all the voice-overs, every single character."
While there were many enthusiastic comments about his videos, there were occasional hate comments.
"I feel like every, every TikToker does, but once you get to a point you kind of just learn to drown it out."
Davies has become used to being recognised.
The first big event he went to after growing a following on TikTok was the 2021 Rhythm & Alps music festival in Wānaka.
"I was a shocked by the amount of people that knew me and were coming up to me. "
Being on TikTok was a "great gig" that he could earn money from but he was keen to stress he was far from being a millionaire. Although his videos looked simple, each one was carefully planned.
"I did acting all throughout my childhood, and I kind of found that I was quite good at it," Mr Davies said.
He began posting at the end of 2019 and gradually built up a dedicated fan base.
"Consistency is the key, so I had to get my views up and then slowly the followers just grew from there."
He now has more than 460,000 followers and his videos have racked up more than 17 million likes. The process of making the videos began in a "willy nilly" way but as the numbers grew he began to meet other TikTok creators.
"They started giving me advice to plan it out, write it down and then go film.
"My videos, they are just skits, comedy — I think you get a bit of everything from a skit from me, hopefully everyone can relate to at least one of them."
As well as comedy videos, Henry also shares fitness videos.
"One thing I do outside of this is boxing and I’m a personal trainer and coach, so I've started to [release a video] at least once a week, I'll do a boxing type or motivational type of video."
Being recognised when out and about was a good feeling.
"It makes you want to keep going. They make my day, so I want to keep making videos."
