Hi guys,
I've been YouTubing for some time now. Yesterday, I've got a question from a girl asking me why I wouldn't make my videos in Dutch.
She said the accent might kinda distract people from my content.
I'm a Belgian guy and I've always been making them in English. I never considered my accent to really be an issue, but off course I don't know how it would be for other people.
If you look at this:
Would you consider my accent to be a distraction?
And if yes, what would be the best solution?
I can make only Dutch videos, which would be rather hard to promote (but might be a niche target group).
Another option would be to make fully animated videos. If I don't have to focus on knowing text by heart and my camera appearance, I might focus more on my pronunciation.
What do you guys think? The question bothers me quite a lot, so I would love to have your feedback.
Thanks!
Willem
