Here's a first:
Added 2015-11-25 19:27:55 +0000 UTCI decided that a tutorial vid where I explain a lot doesn't really work well if you have to read through a lot of text while watching me work, so here's my first ever narrated vid. Tremble before my wannabe Oxford English, word-groping, and those rather plosive "P"s.
It's the same vid I posted earlier, just with narration instead of captions. Any preferences on what works better?
I'll probably stick to music for those timelapse things, and maybe do a more tutorial-like vid - narrated - every now and then.

2015-11-27 15:31:16 +0000 UTCFantastic Jenny! As my own art skills basically come down to "can't even draw a straight line!" it's awesome to see how you work. The video was so much easier to understand with your explanations!

2015-11-26 10:56:35 +0000 UTCI think we're quite used to hearing this sort of spontaneous narration in videos, too, so that definitely helps. Though when my son watches his gameplay videos on Youtube. I sometimes want to reach through his screen and shake the speaker! ;)

2015-11-26 07:51:03 +0000 UTCI've lived in England for a year, and at the end of that period, I could hold long conversations with Englishmen without giving away I was actually German. I've become a bit rusty now.

2015-11-26 07:49:41 +0000 UTCHey, British English is the best! ... if done right. Pray you never hear me trying to sound American. My students always laugh their heads off if I do. :D

2015-11-26 07:48:20 +0000 UTCI thought it was very clear and easy to follow. I did not mind the British English or the plosive 'p's at all. Mics are just hard when they're near your mouth and you say p words. Anyway, my opinion: it was easier for me to follow along by listening to you explain and watching the art develop. When I'm reading captions on the screen, I'm busy reading words, and I can miss little details, which happens very quickly at 32x speed.

2015-11-25 20:22:08 +0000 UTCNo need to tremble, your narration is excellent! (I didn't notice any word groping at all.)
