Video reviews

Hi all.

I have this question, despite being in the rules that must be created a video unboxing.

I'm finishing my second review, and having already done one without a video, is it really necessary to record one?

I'm not discussing my ability to create one, but I really don't like to hear my voice (I'm sure many people has the same opinion) on it. And since my native language is not English, it could sound funny. RoflRoflRofl

I have the video ready, just need to finish the editing. 

I'm more comfortable writing and posting photos than recording a video.

I have several exercises in video that I will post , but my question remains: is it really necessary a video review?

    I have noticed a lot of videos now use a computer voice (text-to-speech). I don't mind listening to this type of video. It might be an option if there is a video requirement. I've also seen videos where…

    Believe it or not, and it's not something I say lightly, or say often, but this is particularly a generational age thing in regards to videos. There is an increasingly huge amount of people now that…

    Guys, thank you so for the replies. First, It's nothing with my voice. I'm just with a freaking cold and it sounds funny when recorded. And I have everything recorded already... I'm super comfortable speaking…

    I generally skip the unboxing video's.

    I am also not a big fan of video's in general, I prefer to just read a good explanation of what is being done with maybe a short video snipit showing the operation.

    But then I am considered a troglodyte with all of this new fangled technology. ;)

    DAB  While I want to be a curmudgeon, all of my young technicians seem to only respond to video.  Some days, it's a struggle to embrace the "new norm", but if I want them to learn my trade... I have to do what works.  I do get a bit of a chuckle when I can show them the inner secrets - the sequence of operations - right there in the manual.  WOW!  Then I go for the jugular vein... "Let me show you the schematic."  Japanese ogre  BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!
