I wish he'd just talk normal instead of inflecting his voice in that robotic way.

I wish he'd just talk normal instead of inflecting his voice in that robotic way.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoI expect it's more like how people often inflect differently when reading from a script, or if they're self-conscious about public speaking in general.
- bigyikes 2y agoI think it might be partially intentional too. Nigel always has this pristine footage with uniform white backgrounds. It’s almost clinical, and the inflection is kind of on theme with that.
- cypress66 2y agoIn nileblue he doesn't talk like this. So clearly intentional.
- treyd 2y agoYeah I don't find it offputting, it makes sense for the presentation style. Although it's a bit jarring when you can feel like he's paused in the middle of a sentence to move to the next line.
- dvh 2y agoThat's why I cannot watch anime dubs. American voice actors are acting. Original seyuu often talk like normal people (there are exceptions of course, but in dubs it's 100% acting, they use "cartoon voice" which I hate).
- nessguy 2y agoI feel lucky that doesn't bother me when watching his videos. I can sympathize with you somewhat though, because the Food Wishes channel drives me insane for a similar reason. (Chef John has mentioned he speaks that way for his videos on purpose)
- nuz 2y agoThink Carmack is faking it too? Some people just have that cadence
- matricaria 2y agoI like his tone. For me as a non-native speaker, I never had any trouble understanding him.
- oersted 2y agoYou can definitely hear the difference in his more wacky NileBlue channel.
- aurareturn 2y agoI enjoy the way he narrates his videos.
- polishdude20 2y agoOnce I noticed this I can't un-notice it anymore. It's not that it's robotic but that the inflections always follow the same pattern. There's an upswing and then a downswing with almost each and every phrase.
