Nature Lens

Hey everyone! I’d love your input on something important. 👇

As some of you might know, I took a long break (around 5–6 months) due to health issues, and I’ve only recently started uploading again—thank you so much for the support and patience.

Since coming back, I’ve made a few changes—one of the biggest being the voice used in my videos. I use TTS (text-to-speech) because English isn't my first language, and I want the narration to be clear and easy to follow. I also started YouTube as a side job, so I don’t always have time or confidence to record voiceovers myself.

Previously, I used a more robotic-sounding voice, and I noticed a lot of feedback saying it felt “too AI” or even calling the channel “just another AI slop channel.” That honestly discouraged me and was part of why I took a break.

Now, I’m using a new, more natural-sounding voice that I personally feel fits better and improves the viewing experience. However, I’ve seen some comments saying they miss the old voice or don’t like the new one—some even mentioned unsubscribing over it, and I can't use the old one due to licensing problem.

I get it—change can be jarring. But I also know I can’t please everyone.

So I'll let you decide which one you'd prefer.

*side note if you choose 'Try a new voice' comment on what kind of voice would you like. For example : Deep, serious, easygoing, etc

Since people are still commenting about the old voice, unfortunately I can't use the old voice due to licensing issues.

You can't make everyone happy, man, so stick with what aligns the most with whatever your goals for the channel are, or it's easier to work with at least.

Since you can’t go back to the old voice due to licensing issues— you can keep uploading with the current one, no problem. Heck yeah we miss the OG voice but the new one isn’t even half bad. Just needs a bit getting used to—that’s all. I’m glad you recovered from your health issues and I’m encouraging you to stay consistent with YouTube! Wishing you success and a wonderful summer! 🤍

@Baquagant...

It's great that you're back. I honestly forgot about your existence because you haven't published anything for these 5-6 months.

My son (9yrs) really likes your videos 🤩 He liked the old voice better and would like a new, more British sounding voice, because he thinks it fits so well with nature videos because of David Attenborough

I've been a sub for a while, and I prefer the AI English accent. It felt more Attenborough and educational. I don't like when it sounds like it's tailored to children. Big fan!!

Your earlier voice sounded more British make sure you use some British accent voice and most people will start to catch on with the "old feel"

So using AI if English isn't your mother tongue is fine, but I just can't unsee the em dashes anymore after that one video

This current voice is ok! but, using TTS makes your channel less personable than other nature channels, in my humble opinion. I'd love to hear your own voice someday!
