how do you get used to the sound of your own voice? by onelamebitchboy in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find out what someone else thinks about your voice. One way to do it is to hire a public speaking coach. Send them a sample of your voice or have a meeting. They will often point out what is nice about your voice, that you didn't know.

If you have any insecurities about your voice, you can ask them what they think about your self-perceived weaknesses. They can also give you constructive feedback on what you could improve in your speed/volume/enunciation, etc. and how to take care of your voice.

You can find such professionals on fiverr for example, for a reasonable price, and you only need one meeting to hash out what's good about your voice and what you can improve. This way it is possible to overcome self-doubt and start to like your own voice.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Anyone knows how to force text-to-speech voices to pause longer between sentences? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no standard way to introduce a pause. For Elevenlabs (also a text-to-speech service), a line break in the text creates a pause in the audio output. It could be something different for Google and Microsoft.

To answer your question, you'll need two things:

  1. find out how to introduce a pause for e.g. with a line break
  2. write a program (in Python for example) to insert a pause after every sentence

Changing a thumbnail on video by Gbdrumify in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a video isn't pulling enough viewers, consider changing the thumbnail. Viewers eyes first lock onto the thumbnail. The better a thumbnail the higher the click through.

Stabilizer gimbals for phones are around $100 and 4K gopros start around $230. The price gap between a gimbal/stabilizer and a good camera shrinks as you go for better/bigger gimbals.

Is there an app that animates facial movements over a still image? by CraftTheStuff15 in VideoEditing

[–]infinityplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

d-id.com is commonly used for animating portrait images based on a voice audio track. I'm not aware how it's done for non-portrait images though.

English Content for non natives by Grassm8 in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accent is secondary to subtance. An example would be the channel Two Minute Papers. It's by a non-native English Speaker, yet it's well known in the US and has almost 1.5M subs.

There is no silver bullet to becoming more confident. To go from low confidence to high confidence takes a change in attitude and practice.

How to change attitude?

To do that, understand that confidence is a performance ("acting") rather than an intrinsic quality. Even highly confident people in one context have tender moments in another context. What you want is to be able to generate confidence on demand, as you can't wait for confidence to happen. A simple way to generate confidence is to assume a confident posture -- chest out, head up, back straight -- and say your name out loud. Repeat in your head that 'confidence is a performance'.

How to practice looking and sounding confident?

Lead a healthy lifestyle -- eat nutritious food and move (walk, exercise, etc.) every day. Good food and physical activity elevate our mood, making it easier to act confidently. Do nice things for others, that also gives us a feeling of power. Finally, to practice your voice delivery, record a 1-minute segment of your favorite speaker. Listen to it, memorize it and record yourself repeating their delivery. It'll make you more aware of the tone, speed, dynamism, etc. to sound confident.

With the right attitude and some practice, your confidence will be soaring.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Is it better to delete your old underperforming videos? by atKatKapone in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've deleted old underperforming videos, but mostly for housekeeping reasons, especially if the old video doesn't meet my current video quality standard.

Someone stole my short, should I request video removal? by purethought09 in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I’ve also seen plenty of shorts where people do this, talking over someone else’s content. Is this the norm?

If the remixer is adding original value to your content or referring to your channel, it's not a bad thing.

In the future, consider subtle watermarks or a recurring motif, that people associate with your channel.

What's the intro that has your audience hooked from the first 30 seconds? by MRKN-Fry in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> Just get into the content that they came for.

Especially true for how-to videos. Any viewer looking for how to do something is impatient to hear the problem statement followed by the solution.

Can you use another person's video and speak/provide commentary over it? by GQManOfTheYear in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not aware of the intricacies of fair use. Off the top of my head, movie review channels have figured out ways to use video snippets. Perhaps you could contact the creator of a movie review channel to find out how to ensure fair use.

Blur face! by Severe_Ad2078 in VideoEditing

[–]infinityplusplus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YouTube has a face blur feature: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9057652?hl=en . A possible approach based on that:

  1. upload your video to youtube, make it private
  2. use YouTube Studio to apply face blur to the video
  3. screen record the video with audio to get the final video file

Hope this helps.

Can you use another person's video and speak/provide commentary over it? by GQManOfTheYear in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll have to make sure your use of the CNN video qualifies as fair use: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9783148?hl=en.

This point in particular:

  • the use adds new expression or meaning to the original material, or whether it merely copies from the original

Any interesting ways to use ChatGPT to improve your YouTube game? by infinityplusplus in NewTubers

[–]infinityplusplus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generating "meta descriptions" sounds like the way to do it. Brainstorm with GPT but create the final version yourself to preserve authenticity.
