I was hoping for a "Do what you think would be fun for you and the channel" answer because I think it will be great regardless.

I personally love the switch from 1st to 3rd person and back again—it feels immediate and whimsical I also want you to feel comfortable of course!!! Always the top priority 💛

Your narration is the one thing i love the most about your videos. This may seem like a crass analogy, but it's a bit like having a guinea pig write the lab notes on the experiment it's in, and for that i find it hilarious.

You have an incredibly beautiful and soothing voice, that's part of your channel and your unique charm, that's part of what makes us feel in a soft and safe place when we listen to your videos. It's a lot of work to do on your own so do what you feel the best for you and your channel, we'll enjoy it anyway, but in my opinion you shouldn't change anything and should celebrate your uniqueness and this beautiful voice mother nature has given you without any shame, you don't seem pretentious at all at any time !!! There will always be a little bunch of people unhappy with what you do, don't let them undermine you, because you're doing great ❤️😘

Pretentious? That's ridiculous! I love your narrations! It wouldn't be the same without your voice!

Not everyone is going to be happy with every choice you make and it's ok to just be comfortable with that. Unless you see a specific complaint pop up often it's likely just that person's individual taste at fault. I personally like you narrating, I find your style charming.

I actually like the fact that you do all the narration on your videos. I don’t know who told you it was pretentious….such comments make me think that the commenter is jealous of what you do on your channel. You are doing beautifully the way you are.

I love your voice! I love the ancient food series. I hope you will continue to make videos about ancient food. I am fascinated by the history of food and am very interested in the most ancient of all foods, especially cheese, wine, bread, and tea!

You are blessed with a lovely speaking voice. Do as you feel best fills the needs of your channel. Best wishes from Seattle.

I don't know if someone commented/criticized you narrating but I love your voice and it's your channel so you can use any tense you choose. Keep up the good work and don't change anything in my opinion ❤️

I really like your narration! Of course I understand if you feel like it would lessen your workload and want to outsource narration. But if it's just about how you come across, please keep narrating. You make me smile.

Some people are posterior wipes, don't listen. Your channel is great and so are you! ❤😊

It doesn’t come across as pretentious or off-putting in any way for me at least

Please be yourself as that's the fun of your channel. I enjoy listening to you talk about the food, clothing, history because it's very personal to yourself

I love your narration! You say in those videos that it's alternate universe, and it just makes it more on point that Vasi from current universe is narrating what happened in the alternate one. It adds to the charm in my opinion. And to be honest, it's YOUR video, you can do whatever YOU like and works for YOU. We can just watch what you've created and for years that I watch you I had only good things to say.

I enjoyed the narration as is and never once thought anything was wrong about how you set it up. I like the "alternate reality" intro and outro

I think you do a great job narrating, your voice is calming and articulate, I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing it. Also I view your third person narration as though the present you is taking us on a series of adventures about a fictional character that travels through time and space so that we can all experience the most amazing periods of history together, you and us as your viewers ❤️

I respect and value the genuine honesty and integrity you have. I appreciate the fact that you are very mindful of people around you. I honestly like when you are the voice narrator. Though it’s a lot of work to do the narrator alone.I understand that and respect that. So if you find someone and treat them fairly and the videos don’t turn into something not genuine I will still enjoy the channel and content. Just do whatever is right for your situation and i support that.

Thank you so much for all the support I've been receiving on my Historical Food Week series (including the latest episode on ancient Greek food!)
I'm continuing to plan future episodes for the series and wanted to create a poll to get some input from all of you. As you may have guessed, I play the narrator for the episodes, and the reason I originally chose to do the voice-over is because it made sense with my schedule, budget, etc. I have received the occasional feedback that this comes across as pretentious since I refer to myself in the third person, even though that's definitely not my intention and I am well and truly trying to play a different character (the "Narrator") 😂 For all of the episodes, I upload captions (and even include some hidden humor) for this differentiation to be clearer.
I have considered eventually hiring a voice actor for the narration, and I believe it may be possible for the next episode. How would you feel about suddenly hearing a voice actor in place of myself for the role of Narrator? I would, of course, select someone that I feel best fits the energy of the episodes, and pay them fairly.
Thanks in advance for your input!
