I gotta play with the audio threshold on obs to get it to work a lil smoother

It's got mostly nothing to do with time saving, I feel I have no camera presence, I feel like crap trying to read a script or even write a script. When I have to read it I have to talk fast to read it in a consistent way and can't notice when I flub lines, when I try to use bullet points instead i ramble a bit off topic, going off topic gives viewers more moments to walk away. It makes me need to find more visuals to match the crappy take I did rather than my intended take. If I catch the flub I just say the sentence again and cut the bad take, If I don't I'd need to record again and I'm lucky to sit down the first time. I think in this video between writing, and listening to everything back and making the voice say the right words I missed one thing where I think I called SP he, which who knows what these cards are nowadays. This lets me be more concise and remove dead time, maintain a consistent tone, it makes the overall video shorter cause I'd stop a ton to think doing in myself. I suck at looking at the camera, I even bought a teleprompter to be better on camera, I don't like my look, I'm an old dude, my hair needs to be dyed often, the work I do into making my hair presentable makes me not even want to sit down, my background to my camera isn't presentable and I had to move where it is because it was too close to my heater and air conditioner at all points of the year so there was annoying sounds popping up in videos In general I have a lack of motivation to write anything at all, so I will do what I have to do to get myself out of the funk and maybe get myself in front of the camera, but it's all a process, we all handle it differently, and the AI is of my own voice, using my own written words and thoughts, editing the script so the AI reads in correctly, doing a second re-correction so it shows on screen using the text it actual correct text the ai couldn't read correctly and programing the avatar to talk with the script was less draining mentally for me then sitting down to record. I write the scripts in a text editor, then I just throw them into the ai so it can read it back to help me catch the flubs, and by the time it was all written correctly it was just easier to let the AI read it then to just have to read it myself. I get people not liking ai, but it's going to come out regardless if they like it, and I think I'm using it responsibly.

​@@LegacyCrusadersappreciate the context! I appreciate your content so whatever it takes to make it happen! I think you sell yourself short on the appearance. You are a handsome dude (happily married man here, lol) and have an authentic look. I understand wanting to look your best and the barrier that can be to making stuff, so no worries. Your insights are valuable and I'm guessing your followers realize that! Nothing against AI in general by the way, it's a neat tool. Take care!

@@LegacyCrusadersYou have a great camera presence! You have a teacherly vibe about you, and the rambling helps establish that human connection, it makes us feel like we’re really there in person listening to you. It’s completely your choice to utilize ai to narrate your vids, just don’t think that we are bothered by you as you are irl

@@OrcaThoughts thank you, I am a teacher, I and I also don't want my students to find me, I've cared about that less over the years but it's still another reason to hide a bit.
