VFX, Amiga and Babylon 5 [video]

It's a complete mystery to me why certain YouTubers do this. I'll take the worst human voice (even Fran Drescher or Rich Evans) over a synthesized one, particularly for expository narration. It reminds me of phishing phone calls, and instantly draws me away from the actual content.

A guess would be quicker production process. If you adjust the script, just rerender it and done. Actually speaking and recording takes tons of time.

I guess. But if a human can't be bothered to record it, why should I be bothered to read it?

You take back your disparaging comments against the sweet wonderful voice of Rich Evans. His angelic laugh is soothing enough to stop babies from crying.

I would guess that a lot of them are not native speakers of english?

There is nothing wrong with Rich Evans voice.
