    People like you really found their niche making 2-6h video essays, and I’m here to eat em up like cookies.

      I hate my own voice but I love explaining things to interested people.

      No way I’d be able to make lore videos, especially when people like Installation00, Luetin09, Geetsly’s, MetaNerdzLore, Eckhartsladder, and Nerd of the Rings exist.

      Nothing new for me to add, really.

      I could probably talk for hours about Stargate SG1 and it’s spinoffs, there are a few channels dedicated to Stargate stuff but… Content is lacking, in my opinion. One does a podcast though, and uploads hilights of the podcast which I don’t watch/listen to so they probably do a lot more explaining of things there that don’t make it into clips.

      While I’ve gone through all of Luetin09’s videos while awake, I like to throw a playlist on shuffle sometimes to sleep. Something about a British guy talking in a smooth low voice about tyranids attempting to overrun a location only for the whole planet to essentially split in half (CADIA STANDS/THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD) is just relaxing. Also FUCK Erebus.

        This is exactly my problem. I love explaining things, as a kid I wanted to be “that guy” you’d see on discovery channel (before it was all mermaids and reality TV bullshit.) but I can’t stand pretty much anything about myself lol

        I hate hearing my own voice and I think I look like Peewee Herman after going through a wood chipper and getting pummled in an MMA match. No one should have to suffer through watching me lol

          Come on, you don’t have to show your face, and I bet your voice isn’t that bad, it’s just how you feel about it. Even if it’s bad, I’d prefer it to the AI voices that are starting to become ubiquitous, because those tire my brain to no end.

          Also, my job is literally recording voice actors, and I can tell you you can improve your narration, your timbre… whatever thing you think is holding you back. Just need to focus on it and practice ;)
