Welcome welcome, one and all.
To continue the series on my woes and troubles with producing even a single Youtube video I have a new complaint: the sound of my own voice.
Let me back up a bit.
My process:
1. play the games I plan to review, and record hours of gameplay, covering various locations, levels, characters, game mechanics, builds, etc. to give people a wide scope of the experience and to be an informed reviewer.
2. review the collected visuals and audio clips, identifying portions of what I do and do not want to use as to save myself time later. This also gives me a chance to QC my work.
3. write a script covering all the things I would want someone else to cover, as well as everything that is expected of a proper review.
4. record said script, editing it until it says what i want it to say, in an order that works, and in a way that is informative, entertaining, and efficient.
5. cut film sections to be relevant to pre-recorded script.
6. ???
7. profit.
Where I'm currently stuck is 4. The more I record and listen to myself, the more I hate the sound of my own voice. I'll record something and either sound stupid, or my speech will sound unnatural, or something will be wrong with the mic. How do people do this? Is there a point at which they just accept what they have? Do they ever like what they have done?
Regardless, I should have everything done in the next two days and will shoot you guys a link once its posted. Soon the now will be the past and no matter what I sound like it will not be something I can change. There is a certain inevitability surrounding the feeling of setting a goal and approaching a milestone. In this case its a milestone which will start a new attempt at using my creativity, talents, and interests to be useful.
Thanks for all the support and views, and as always please feel free to comment, question, or complain, just don't feel entitled to an answer from me.
