There are lots of knowledgeable bowlers on this site, I'm sure they will be willing to help you. I'm not exactly a bowling coach, or anything, so anything I take has to REALLY be taken with a grain of salt.
First, what do you want help with? Are you concerned with your release, or your line, your grip on the ball, what? The more information you can give us, the better we can try to help.
The first thing I noticed was your approach. I noticed you do the three steps and release. That can be effective, but you look very mechanical, like you're concentrating on it too hard. I read once that the approach is the most important part of bowling, because if your approach is off, everything will be off. Take steps that are comfortable to you. Bend your knees a little bit, be comfortable in your approach. You shouldn't have to think about it. You'll know you have it down when you never have to worry about where you are on the floor. You willl just know where you will end up.
I catch a bit of grief from my bowling team because my first step is very slow and deliberate. It's just what I'm used to, and it's what I do. It's not that I'm concentrating on it too much, it's almost like a golfer's practice swing, I'm just getting a feel for my footing, and one last good stare down the lane before I speed up my approach and let it go. They call me elmer fudd (be very very quiet....) I guess that's where I'd begin....
Really, without knowing what it is you want to do, it's hard to say what you SHOULD do. Of course, a bowling lesson or two, would be the BEST way to help your game. If you find a good coach, it will work wonders for your game.
