Matt Richardson 🏳️🌈Perhaps I'm being trolled, but someone commented on one of my videos to say "Why are you whispering, just talk" and admittedly it's gotten into my head because I'm really not whispering. 😆 Anyway, can someone please listen to my voice in this video and tell me if it sounds off in any way? Just a heads up, it's about food. Thanks! https://www.tiktok.com/@matthungryagain/video/7165144038906187054
Liz Upton@mattrichardson Sounds perfectly normal to us. And fwiw I can't remember the last time we put out video of _anybody_ at Raspberry Pi and it didn't result in at least one person complaining about accent/pitch/tone. We still rejoice in the guy who told @EbenUpton that he should go to #Toastmasters.
@lizupton @EbenUpton Thank you for checking! I try to talk normally, albeit a bit faster than I usually do. What I'm really trying to avoid is overdriving my voice so that I sound like a boxing ring announcer.
Keith Kline@mattrichardson I was listening from the computer through speakers and it doesn't sound like whispering to me. I compared a few of your other videos and while that one might sound a tad "hushed" as @Leisureguy mentioned, I agree, it sounds perfectly fine to me. If I just happened across that video I would have thought nothing of the audio.
@iamkeithkline Thank you, that's really helpful! I'll try not to think about it any more then!
Troy 🐀@mattrichardson That's like completely normal sounding! That person might be used to those youtubers/tiktokers that scream into the camera 🤷
@dawnerd I appreciate you checking. I'll try not to think too much of the comment then!
I would hate it if I were doing something annoying and had zero awareness.
