Mapping Test: Narration Voice

[@WTFCDFoxy]

Experimenting, nothing permanent.

[@spartacus936]

Everyone is telling you that this might ruin the atmosphere of your videos. But as someone who has a very poor eyesight and is borderline blind, I tell you that this helps me to understand your videos a lot better. In fact, I can't read what you write in your texts and I'm only able to follow the maps -as the texts are way too little for me to read - so I'm often forced to just imagine what might be written in the texts on the basis of what I see on the maps. This actually helps me to understand the whole context way better.

[@WTFCDFoxy]

Yes the fonts are usually very small especially on mobile phones.

What if for this specific video, you make 2 versions, one with narration and one without 🤔

Dude this is crazy i was thinking of the same idea but for only war, for when people can watch the frames and listening to text this but is so cool, mapping is evolving

[@redleafgaming3335]

Sounds great man

[@seledka2146]

I don't know, but it's very odd watching a mapping with voiceover Personally, I don't think that's a good idea, because it overlays music. I don't find any problem in reading text by myself But it's only my opinion, and if you decide to implement this feature, I generally don't mind, but definitely won't be a fan of it

[@Resilio_]

I've never seen anyone experiment with narration in this way before; it's truly fascinating. This innovative approach might initially divide the audience, as it challenges the traditional mapping format. However, with time and adjustments, it has the potential to become an invaluable tool for mappers. I'll leave one suggestion: lower the music volume, as it drowns out the narrator's voice, making it difficult to follow the content. Besides this, everything else is absolutely outstanding!

[@GTRMapping]

Honestly, it is a good idea but tbh the moving flag kind of takes attention off the map, but if u want it, go do it, idrc

[@DavidOrWhat_]

This ain’t it chief

[@gssalternatehistory]

Let him cook

[@cadenhastings9729]

Everyone here is saying that they don’t like the narration, but I like it. It does need serious work though, but I like the concept nonetheless. A few recommendations, turn the music down when the narrator is speaking. It might be nice to have some blurred out footage play as the narrator speaks as well, or for the narrator to not say exactly what is written on the side, because then what’s the point of having the narration at all? I do like the idea, and I think it can work!

[@cadenhastings9729]

Also get a different, more natural sounding AI for narration, this one sounds too choppy

[@ioannismarantos6867]

I think this could be really good but it's somehow strange to see a mapping video with narration voice.

[@czechman2190]

It's interesting.

[@BalekduNom]

It's much better, if I had to do mapping I would do it like that too, you just have to lower the volume of the music a little 👌👌👌👌

[@etiennezalcha]

I love this idea, please keep it!

[@GermanBallX]

I love it! You should make the voice faster 😊

[@frp3337]

Honestly it's pretty cool, I totaly support it

Nice, i love it.

[@Kevin63GachaandGMOD]

Awesome.

It’s cool, but don’t use it for every video

[@ksncolt]

It sounds very interesting and creates a more authentic historical feel, i like it!

[@Aq_3]

I think its good

[@Bobshark-gl9dk]

Meh, could work for a different style of video, but this aint it

[@TDroid-0208]

Eh… it’s OKAY, but I think it’s better when we just read

[@IpirangiusOfficial]

Very nice!

[@somehuman_1917]

I feel like this with the ai fleshes out your world/history's in your videos like idk why people mad about it like in this form its not taking jobs or being written by ai, like no one finna make a painting of a future figure for a video ig you can get an actor or something but am pretty sure this channel is demonetized or makes little for something big like that and if you writing this on chatgbt you kinda a sweatshop at that like getting a like a sentence or rewriting ight ig tho

[@marko3866]

Doesn't fit well in my opinion. Sole music and sfx looks way better However, it could be applied in other formats, like the Deutsches Weltreich video, which is more of a traditional overview instead of a mapping timelapse. Also, an AI narrator of this quality would be as good as a real one

[@sempiternvs]

This is a cool idea I tried in the past, but with an AI voice it just kills it. You'd need to have someone human do the talking... also, if you were to pursue this, it would be best to have a voiceover version and a map version... perhaps the voiceovers are better for videos like that mittleuropan video on elections and whatnot

I'm sorry but this makes the video look like a tik tok

[@amadeus3165]

I dont really know comrade Im enjoying your videos way more without a random voice in the background Im gonna read it myself anyways Also i really enjoy the music in your videos so this kinda destroys the whole sound But its just my opinion

[@flame9826]

Feels too odd

[@DarwizzyTiber]

reduce the music and use a deeper voice
