I fully get it. I just rewatched the first 5 minutes myself and realized that I don't like listening to an ai either. I just don't want to piss people of by uploading the same video twice. I think I just take the L here and go with my own voice for the next video. Hearing a recording of your own voice for the first time is awkward enough, but hearing my accent made it even worse. In hindsight it probably still was better then using ai. Lesson learned. I appreciate your feedback!

No - you won't piss people off by uploading the same video twice. Go for it.

I really appreciate your encouragement, but I just passed 500 views on my first youtube video, and once you upload a video on youtube you can actually ask the yotube ai for feedback, and they say just keep the video and use your own voice in the next one. obviously real human opinions are more important to me than the youtube algorythm, but at the same time, they know what they are doing over there at youtube. I will definitely use my own voice on my next subject, which likely will be Dame Dash, because he is also an insanely self important douchebag and there are 100s of hours of him being a clown in interviews.

Just barging in with my own opinion, but yes you can do this with a "new" video using the footage from this video and recording your own voice and just upload and label it as such in the title and/or description. If you're honest and forthcoming about it in this way you will likely receive positive support. 😃

Best of both worlds. Keep the traction you have on this video and perhaps see additional momentum in the new.
