I’m definitely with Wheylous. You’ve got to have someone else narrate. I’m assuming it’s you in the video, so realize I understand I’m saying this to your face (so to speak)…It’s just not your thing. And there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just the way things are.
The reading itself is just not up to par. The intonation doesn’t flow well for the medium…it sounds forced and, well, read. It really takes away from the whole presentation. That’s strike one. But even more than that, even if that weren’t the case, like most youtubers/Ron Paul supporters you sound very young. That’s strike two. As much as it may suck, it doesn’t matter how much you know, how much experience you have, how much you’ve read, and even how much you’ve accomplished…if you sound young, people don’t take you seriously. This is the number one mistake I see in youtubes. Otherwise-great videos are tainted to a point of unusability with bad narration. Not only does it turn people off intellectually, it makes the video seem amateurish, and gives it an overall cheap feel.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have the voice for it either. I sure as hell wish I did. I would actually be a lot more prolific when it comes to creating material. I would be creating audiobooks for the Mises library, making videos all the time…all sorts of things. But I just don’t have that attribute.
You gotta know your strengths, and outsource the parts where you’re lacking.
But, good content. And that’s awesome you got it published on the site! Keep writing. And keep making videos. Just, if you need narration to go with visuals, try to find someone with a good voice to do it for you. Graham Wright has a good voice, and has actually helped others with projects here a few times. You might get in touch with him if you have a need for more narration.
