This was embarrassing

Have you ever met someone before and thought to yourself

“Something is off here”

While on vacation, we met up with my wife’s friend and her partner

In most cases, making small talk with a new acquaintance is easy

But in this case, it was like pulling teeth

It’s not that the guy was rude or uninteresting

Quite the opposite really

But one thing really stood out to me

This guy talked in such a disfluent manner

That it was hard to follow along with what he was saying

And as you know, I relate most things in my life to YouTube

And this is what I also see online

People are using AI voiceovers on their videos (which is fine)

But they are neglecting the one piece of the puzzle that allows you to pull them off

Removing AI pauses

You see, if you’ve used an AI voiceover before you’ll know that they don’t speak at the same cadence as you or I

Meaning that they sound unnatural

That is until you remove the pauses

Doing so, which can be done manually or using tools like Descript, turn the AI voiceover from an unlistenable mess

Into a crisp sounding narration that can be enjoyed by the masses

So in the same way where it’s hard to follow along when someone speaks disfluently

It’s hard to follow a video where the narration pauses every few seconds

Fix this one aspect of your videos and soon those “this must be an AI voiceover” comments will disappear!

Until tomorrow,

Adam
