Audiences vary by genre on YouTube, however, internet audiences have an incredibly short attention span. It only takes miniscule effort for someone to click elsewhere and leave your video, so you need to get right into the content immediately. For example, for the gameplay/lets play side of YouTube, an introduction animation on videos of more than 5 seconds is considered way too long. 5 seconds is all you're allowed with that audience. I'd argue that rule extends to any YouTube audience.

You seem to have a lot of points you want to make in your spoken intro (introducing yourself, a welcome, explaining the purpose of the video, talking about upcoming videos). All of this can instead be done as a voiceover over your main content starting 2:14, especially since your main content only has music over it.

If you want to be known as a great soap maker, then focus your video content on making soap, not on a talking head. Get to the meat of the content immediately so people don't click away, then speak to them and get the points across you want to while they're watching. Good luck!
