Don't take this personally, but your voice annoys me; It sounds really pretentious and snobbish. Also, do you just read slow or were you trying to go slow on purpose? The speed makes you sound over exaggerated or like you think you're speaking to morons. Again, this is not meant to be taken personally, but as a professional criticism.

@Firecat0 that was my thought the first time i heard this video. she does has a sort of disdain in her voice, huh?

[Rifftiff]

@saturnclouds What you hear as disdain was only a teenager attempting to sound professional. Apparently it didn't work out.

[Rifftiff]

@Firecat0 Are you a professional? Because this does not sound like a professional criticism to me at all. Not quite the right word choice for that, this sounds more like a stab, regardless of you saying it is not. When I made this years ago, I was trying to sound professional when I read it, not stuck up. I'm sorry if anybody took it that way. But being older now, I realize YouTube isn't a place for professionalism anyways.

[Firecat0]

@Rifftiff Nope, I'm not. I admit it wasn't quite the right word, but it was late and I didn't feel like trying to figure it out. Just hearing you speak that way made me feel like you thought I, as a listener, was below you. I was understandably irritated.

By the way, it sounds better in your videos if you speak to people as though they're your equals/people you know; It isn't as awkward sounding. If you haven't already, work so that you can get to where you read as fast as you speak.

[Rifftiff]

@Firecat0 If you do not feel like figuring out the correct wording, then do not take claim to a "professional criticism." It's not very professional. Regardless, as I said, I was simply a teenager experimenting with making something that sounded professional, not belittling. If I saw myself as above everyone, I would have not made this. So it is extremely sad that you mistook my (at-the-time) amateur scriptreading as a superiority complex.

@SaiyanPrincessMrina Don't lose hope, hun.

Thank you for your hard work on this video!! :D

[fruitman89]

i don't got time for this, I'm a busy man

[saturnclouds]

@Rifftiff Oh, no, don't worry, it definitely did, you do sound somewhat professional in the video. I have loved your videos every since I discovered them, it was just this particular video I heard that in.

[Firecat0]

@Rifftiff We've already established that professional was the wrong word for what I meant, so emphasizing that what I said wasn't professional is pointless. I never said that you -actually- thought you were above anyone; just that your voice sounded that way. As the video was a long time ago, there is no point in dragging out this disagreement.

[Firecat0]

@saturnclouds Yeah, isn't that weird?
