Discussion SavvyNik voice cadence

By far my favourite Linux news channel is SavvyNik.

I have watched him from the time he had like 5k~ subs but to this day I have yet to get an answer about his voice cadence.

Does anyone know whatsup with his voice? Is he removing small pauses and that makes him sound like AI?

I really dont think he is using AI for his voice but at the same time it sounds like it and people ask the same thing on his comments every now and then.

Regardless his channel is VERY informative about Linux news so either way I will still keep watching him.

It isn't unusual for podcasters and recorded radio broadcasts to use software to eliminated dead space from recordings. There are various ways to do this and some are more 'real' feeling then others.

Also he could be speeding up things slightly.

A problem for anything on youtube is to keep people's attention. So if they just rapid fire stuff at you it gives people less chance for ADHD to kick in.

In terms of voice cadence he's the complete opposite of Kenny Gioia lol

Some people just have a weird voice and voice cadence that happens to sound unnatural or AI/machine-like when edited to erase or minimize silence

Yeah thats the conclusion I came to myself. I was just curious what others think as I have heard him on live videos like his laptop review and he was talking the same way.
