I started to use them because they pronounced words far better than me - but I then figured that if I do a take with them speaking I can then use their voice as a guide for myself. Well that was the plan :) I agree that the voices are a bit annoying, mainly because there is very little emotion. I used male and female to try and break it up a bit. When I started this series I used what I had available but since then I have learnt a lot and also gained more experience with better software. One big advantage now is that I use a field recorder for my voice. That then gets synced up to the camcorder which allows me to talk without all the wind noise and pops and crackles that you often get from a camcorder/phone microphone. You will be pleased to know that they are being pensioned off :)
Thanks Steve and everyone else involved in making this video, enjoyed the production and presentation 😊
That was an interesting watch. Part of my childhood was in Newby. I've lived in Leeds since 1999, worst luck :)
Thanks Gareth - glad you enjoyed it :)
Great video - interesting - but prefer it when you are narrating… those automated voices and bots are really annoying 😫
