I started Youtube almost 3 years ago and my channel has been built around informative highly analytical gaming guides. At this moment I have 5.1k subscribers and everything seems to come to my way; except the ability to keep viewers engaged and attract new subscribers. Yes I understand that 5k is a lot to many people and I acknowledge all the struggles.
There was really one thing that held me back from getting way more than I should. That is my voice-over speech patterns. For many years I struggled to get it right. What's the problem is the way I speak just doesn't sound like what a normal person would speak in a conversational tone. Yeah I try to keep it as if I'm speaking to a friend but there are other problems. It's just my natural way of speaking seems different than how others speak. Sure I understand that practice makes perfect but what is the proper technique towards this practice? How can I do something for 3+ years and still have the same problem? I know it's gradually improved but from what it seems, it's like I have to re-wire my way of speaking from bottom-up. I think another part of the problem is the way I edit my audio. Whenever I make a mistake on a sentence, I would then cut the sentence off from the editor and restart the sentence.
How are people supposed to do voice-overs with good flow + solid information? Is there some sort of methodology? Or is there some sort of audio editing program that will make it so that if you cut/paste a sentence, it will not mess up the flow? Any voice-over experts out here?
Thank-you in advance.
