Don't like my voice on training videos :/
Anybody faced similar problems when recording training videos?
-- Takes too many iterations
-- I don't like my accent
-- Fiverr, Upwork are expensive and take FOREVER
Did you guys have similar issues? Is it possible to record video and lay over a text-to-speech audio?
I can help you, I have a worse voice and I am happy to record something for you, so you will feel better about your voice!
Brilliant solution!
:)
Man, it is on your head. People have made millions on Udemy with far than perfect accents. No one cares. It is all about the content. Just post and move on. Best of luck😀
Thanks, that's probably the way to go. My concern was with corporate customers, they will for sure wince at it.
Would you wince at a foreigner in your country speaking your native tongue intelligibly but with an accent ?
Don't lose time and energy over this. It is all about the value. People pay for a service not for the way air moves through vocal cords.
Use AI cloning to make it sound like Morgan Freeman's voice.
That's an excellent idea!!! :D
No get concerned about the accent, just be clear and you can use script to guide yourself. You can also use tool like descript to make the process a bit easier. Descript can also (generate speech from text) and replace the words that you think are not perfect.
Thanks for the pointer!
By using this tool 'Text-to-speech-extension' you can record your voice and change it into any accent.

If you're ever concerned about your accent, two things from my end:
• I could care less whether the speaker is native and sounds like the Queen, or whether they have a very thick accent. If I can understand it + if the content is valuable → I'm happy. Anybody claiming otherwise is just limiting themselves
• Slavoj Zizek — google him, listen to him talking. I just LOVE his accent and he's crazy intelligent. I could listen to him talking for hours just for the accent. This might just be me as he's got a thick accent, but to me it's something I really enjoy 🤣
You can do it Alex!!!!
EDIT: Oh and RE: takes too many iterations. I don't know if I'm an example, but what I try to do is I do all in one shot. I may pause the video with a keyboard shortcut, but I always do it in one sitting because I hate video editing, nor do I want to pay somebody for that until I see traction.
Again, idk if it's the right thing to do, but my plan is (and I'm suggesting it to you as an option): pushing through mistakes until I can do it 100% flawless in one go
