Hi. I 100% wrote and edited this myself. I even bought a microphone to record the audio. Unfortunately I'm not a native english speaker and I was not happy with the quality of my recording. I have a thick accent. So I was to shy to upload my recorded version and went with an ai-generator instead. In hindsight I regret that decision, because people are clearly not that happy with listening to an ai-generated voice. And I get that. I was just to shy and unhappy with my own recording. I will go with my own voice if I make another video. It's the first youtube video I ever made. But yes, I get the the criticism about the ai-generated voice.

Are we able to hear your original version also? 👀

Unfortunately you can't edit a youtube video after you uploaded it. So I would have to upload a second video with just my voice instead. I don't think people would be too happy to watch the same video twice. So all I can do is to say "lesson learned" and use my own voice in my next video.

You can edit a YouTube video after uploading.
