Thank you for all of your concern. This video explains what happened to me.

[@Graenolf]

Missed you ⭐️. Comment below so that I can READ it.

[@DavidStubert]

Missed you too oyfum 😢

[@Spartan_767]

Welcome back

[@Mister_Larrold]

Welcome back

[@rubberduck3062]

Thank you nolfster for returning

[@dazzlinggleams]

My first KZbin crush has returned u.u Hello, Senpai. Welcome back.

[@thecrocco5572]

When the world needed him most, Graenolf returned. When the world was at its most painful, most horrific, he came back. And we rejoiced.

[@h0rriphic]

you summoned me

[@not_the_useless_cake856]

Poetry.

[@f-14enthusiast63]

I still remember the Skyrim and fallout 4 videos, good times man 🥲

[@CaptainGreenCoin]

Same bro same 🥲

[@shadownor]

I worked on F-15s, but F-14s are fine too!

[@8ballorca799]

Man if he started making those again it'd be the happiest I've been in years 😂

[@hrongd]

​@@8ballorca799 I'm in the same boat :/

[@smashypeople]

hell yah!

[@Wanderlustsflask]

Honestly, Graenolf becoming an audiobook va is kind of amazing. He's always had a good range

[@lyricbot8513]

The fact that you uploaded this days after I started thinking "huh I wonder why I haven't been recommended a Graenolf video in a while" is amazing

[@jac6548]

u fool it was mere coincidence a meaningless cross-section of chance in a grand universe that does not care about you or your youtube viewing patterns you mean nothing you are nothing

[@avryantoinette]

Literally -- a few days ago, I randomly started watching some of his old videos again.

[@sanstheskeleton3766]

​@@avryantoinettesame, it was a secret calling

[@arcadianmorning]

Same, I literally look him up last week completely out of the blue to see if he had new videos. It's like we all felt a disturbance in the force. 😂

[@cocoanerd17.-.]

Bro it was YESTERDAY that I went on his channel and looked through the comments of his last video

[@originalname610]

OYFUM. Welcome back king.

[@ordinarryalien]

OYFUM. What does that mean? Nobody knows...

[@addie_is_me]

@@ordinarryalien A mysterious energy that has power over nature and human fortunes. So far it communicates only with Graenolf. If harnessed, it is believed to grant ultimate power. Googled it for you. Lol

[@GoldenBeans]

@@ordinarryalien Oyfum.

[@ordinarryalien]

@@GoldenBeans Exactly.

[@kiyawilson3520]

Im sure we are around the same age, but this video gives me "Older brother just came back from college and is sharing all of the stuff he learned with us" vibes.

[@Graenolf]

I like that! How wholesome

[@gloomy-k]

I used to rewatch your videos just to listen to you talk so audiobook narration makes perfect sense 😂😂

[@UnofficialCyane]

yeah he's really good with that voice of his isn't he?

[@Buddy22326]

Me to. Love the range of Graenolfs voice..I was hoping he would get some movie voice acting scenes.

[@EvelynnWinters2000]

For real He's got the voice of a god (of narration)

[@WeissM89]

I've been checking your channel from time to time. I can't watch right now. Glad to see you're alive!

[@ordinarryalien]

I don't think he's alive. I think this is his chaotic good twin Gaenolf.

[@Tomtainius]

I subbed to this channel so I could learn how to join the Dark Brotherhood and now I’m signing up to ACX to try out voicing audiobooks 😅

[@turbocrackers2204]

Haaaa this is my favorite comment

[@Graenolf]

Hahahaha

[@Alex-fc8xn]

So you joined a different dark brotherhood

[@havoc4381]

No. Fucking. Way. Big man is BACK LETS GOOOOO. I was JUST reading all the comments where you said you were coming back soon but I thought you were just playing holyyyyy

[@LAPISTime25]

Audio book narrator? Given your smooth voice, I'm not surprised.

[@UnofficialCyane]

3-6 minutes is the perfect amount of video, it's SO stupid that KZbin screws people over who don't upload content that fits the 10 minute threshold. I'm glad to hear you're doing well, and I'm even more glad to be able to say *welcome back Graenolf!*

[@Graenolf]

Yeah it’s annoying. Because the engagement is always going to be lower than long form content, it can be hard to make lucrative unless you’re getting crazy good views

[@Alex-fc8xn]

Agreed. It's the perfect length of video for me being ADHD. Short enough I won't get distracted, long enough I don't get stuck watching hours of short form content because each video feels too short to be satisfying and it's hard to find a natural stopping point to task switch

[@t.coppin6536]

This man is single handedly responsible for getting me into Skyrim. I watched all his top 5 series in skyrim, bought the game, and have now officially put over 1000 hours into the game. Even when he wasnt uploading, i would watch the playlist religiously. I was in high school then, and i was JUST rewatching his playlist today, in my freshman year of college. Whatever you decide to to Graenolf, you'll do great. Make sure to keep your OYFUM!

[@Graenolf]

Love the comment man. Good luck on college! Sounds like you’ll really enjoy it

[@jessyjessy451]

Just excitedly turned to my husband saying "Graenolf is back!!" He didn't understand, but boy is it good news.

[@Graenolf]

Hahah 😄 well tell him I said Hi anyway

[@rebeccab3024]

Your Skyrim skits really helped me on days when depression was kicking my butt. Now I go back and watch them just for the nostalgia. I’m glad that you’re doing alright and have found work that you enjoy!

[@mikecole4489]

Been waiting for this for a year

[@powdermonkey9300]

Voice work fits you so well. I have loved how you narrated your top 10 Skyrim videos since I was in highschool and I'm so glad you've made a career out of it!

[@Graenolf]

Thank you, sir! I hope that your own work has been fulfilling and gainful for you 🙌

[@carnagecookie]

“conversational, candid style” is sooo fitting. I’ve always felt in your comedic acting too that you could do camp or deadpan, and BOTH would be funny. there is a a wit to that balance. this also reminded me of your peaky blinders videos and how you got cillian murphy’s speech pattern (and meowing) and delivery so correctly. I hope you can find access to a more comfortable recording environment/personal studio soon!

[@TaurielTheElf]

As someone who's been contemplating getting into narrating audiobooks for the past few years and I don't know where to start from, this is incredibly informative. Thanks, Graenolf!

[@Graenolf]

Do it! My only advice would be to not expect to do it forever. I actually just left my tv agency because they were encouraging the use of AI reproductive voice websites which will definitely replace sooo many jobs. The vast majority of voiceover work is freelance, and we’re in trouble. So it’s hard to tell how long we’ll be able to enjoy work like this. Thankfully, the authors I work with appreciate a real human voicing their books, and I hope there will always be cool people like them!

[@StephanieJeanne]

This was nice, Graenolf! If I ever wanted to read audiobooks for living, you've answered most of my questions. The only one I still have is: do you have deadlines? Like, is there a date by which each one must be completed? You definitely seem happy. That's nice to see, and I hope you get to build that place off the grid! Peace, and welcome back. P.S. The blonde lady at the computer taking off her glasses clip was a hilarious touch! 😂✌️💜

[@Graenolf]

Hey again Steph! I’m really lucky haha I don’t have any hard deadlines 😄. A few companies I am signed with do have deadlines, and they’re usually like a few weeks to a month after getting accepted as the narrator. I honestly don’t audition with those companies very much though 🤷‍♂️

[@StephanieJeanne]

@@Graenolf Hello.☺️ Sounds like a great gig! Thanks for answering my question.

[@Aetherreall]

Hes baaack!!! Audiobooks seems quite fitting because you have a really great voice, your vids were my childhood and im so glad your back

[@KapedKrewsader]

Been watching since I was ten and this man never misses, thank you for raising my sense of humour bro

[@joshuaknocker9823]

Your sketches would do really well on TikTok!!

[@miyadonelly8286]

i literally have moments on my day remembering skits you did, and like "where is him, why everything sucks now, why does he not exist anymore", thanks for letting us know you are at least alive and doing things

[@bobbicaruthers3269]

The way I hurried to tell my wife that you were back. We love watching your top 5s together

[@Ace16able]

Glad to see you back Graenolf. Audio books does not surprise me your voice is so nice to hear. Surprised you hadn't gone into the field sooner. Glad your back to the vids tho. The Skyrim skits were the best stuff for me ❤️

[@disruptor6550]

The GOAT is back! I'm super happy you are back and well! *picks up crown from the ground* You dropped this, King ❤

[@Artix117a]

I feel an oifum coming edit now that I'm finished with the video: absolutely love that you have been narrating books. I would love to do that but I don't have any of the equipment to do it let alone audio editing knowledge. I'm actually writing a number of books at the moment myself. I'm chronically bad about finishing any of my works.

[@Graenolf]

OOOOOOyFuUuUmmmMmmmmMMM! I totally understand the mental challenge of finishing a creative work like that. Definitely do it though. The only way to do something well is to do it poorly a bunch of times first 😅

[@Artix117a]

​@@Graenolfi may have litterally squealed like a girl when i saw you responded. Thats awesome thank you really made my night!

[@greenshirt2077]

Return of the King

[@danitron4096]

Dude i missed your content so much, you have an exceptional talent when it comes to comedy and filmmaking (Love your short film btw) and it's awesome to see you back on the platform!

[@connors7361]

I remember watching you for years growing up, me and my friend who introduced your channel to me would love watching your Skyrim videos whenever we’d hang out, and then later when you moved away from it, I’d love watching your comedy sketches whenever I had a free 10 minutes during my work break or in between my classes. Glad to see you back king 👑

[@tjknight]

When I heard you were voicing stories it made so much sense. Your voice always had a very engaging quality to your voice with exciting delivery in how you'd emphasize emotions and such.

[@INeedLore]

Your humor, your chaos I missed it

[@CuriosityKitty-j5j]

📚🎙️Great to hear and see you again Graenolf, and thanks for all this information on getting a job narrating books, a lot harder than I thought it would be. I must admit although I've heard amazing narrators in audible I've also heard many really bad narrators , they don't do voices, they read like they've only just got the book and have no rhythm with no emotion. Luckily they have you Graenolf to show them how it's done, you have a natural gift for acting, narrating, so awesome. Well Graenolf do whatever makes YOU happy and I'll be happy for you no matter what. ❤ From England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 🙂

[@crystalclear5677]

This is very bizarre for me. I don't watch youtube as much as I used to so I hadn't noticed your absence. Glad you're healthy and doing well! The weird part is I wasn't going to click on this video, but I was intrigued, and suddenly pulled into an almost instructional video about a career I've been considering for a very, vERY long time. How serendipitous!

[@ameliaarmadillo]

Couldn't get here quick enough! So happy for this update 🖤

[@nickkrasny1562]

THE RETURN OF THE KING!!!!! I’m SO happy!!!!!!

[@sammiewoods258]

I've been binging old graenolf videos recently, to the point where I started playing Skyrim again and it's become my obsession all over again. Super excited to see some new stuff from you!

[@Vaennylla]

This is pretty enlightening in terms of narration jobs. I wouldn't mind more of these casual talk videos.

[@maxisnotwild]

welcome back sir! may your journey make your efforts with this channel more fruitful

[@luissalinas9143]

Yes, i commented on your barrels videos a couple of days ago wondering where you went, im so glad you're back. You comkng back inspired me to coninue doing my youtube again

[@CalciferHotorobi]

We're so glad to have you back man, your voice always made us feel in a different way, so much emotion and so much passion. We missed you!

[@littlecookie366]

Welcome back!!

[@jacks_arts001]

To be honest, i hope you reach 1 mill soon. Your channel is an inspiration

[@datnamedoh4877]

I'm literally just glad you're safe. In the back of my head for the longest time I worried that something happened to you and it made me sad. I'm so glad to see you here chatting with us letting us know what happened. You're awesome!

[@Silenzio_Brunoo]

felt like i was talking to friend that i haven't seen in a long time, it was peaceful, I like this format, the friend that makes you smile :)

[@easternelvenlady]

Welcome back! I'm glad you found something to do that you enjoyed while you were away from KZbin! I hope you continue to enjoy yourself in whatever ventures you pursue!

[@Graenolf]

Thank you, Lady! Cool name

[@Pyrozoid]

I love that the comeback video is about an escapade into voice acting and that it itself is being narrated as if it's an audiobook. you never cease to entertain me Mr Nolf.

[@Graenolf]

he he : ) i am happy to hear so

[@areed1951]

Nice to have an update and hear what you’re up to these days!

[@frogkeyboard]

this is so insane-so glad to have you back and i'm glad you got to go experience another creative industry while you were gone. we missed you too ☺️

[@thatguy-fo1hf]

Im so happy your back, and I am so excited to see what comes in the future. also if you are worried about money from youtube please start a patron, there are most likely so much people here to support you and it can help a lot sense youtube is so unstable with money. We are here to support you.

[@melxdiq_mxth8993]

Oh my god I was so excited to see you on my homepage again! I always thought your skits were so creative! I actually did some of my first animations to clips from your skits as practice and would share them around with my friends way back when!! We all love you Graenolf!

[@renab.7390]

Oh hey, you're posting again, nice! 😊 EDIT: I'm writing novels, so this video was a very interesting insight into working on audio books, thank you for that!

[@claireliang8595]

it's actually really cool to get some insight on how the audiobook industry works. i grew up listening to audiobooks from cds in my parents' cars, but i've never thought about how they come about.

[@abeesley93]

I just figured he literally went to Skyrim and never came back

[@86stepp]

WE MISSED YOU NOLF! Seriously though it's good to see you again and I hope you stay healthy and happy

[@nicholasramirez7322]

I like hearing about the audio stuff my guy, and appreciate the candid convo. Always felt you were putting on a front for entertainment, and of course you're trying to be entertaining now, but it feels more genuine and candid. Thumbs up my guy

[@thatonemayor]

Dude, I was literally binge watching your videos a few days ago out of nostalgia, and you just now come back. Istg its an omen.

[@jochvent]

i have loved your channel for so long. i got so addicted to the soundbite you use for your old top5 skyrim videos. the little melodies that are paired with the 4. and the 2. etc. and your writing is captivating and really nice to follow. loved seeing you grow and following your journey, and im happy youre well :)

[@lycorisrad]

I remember having your videos playing on repeat while i was doing homework or grinding a game glad to have you back

[@graymarch666]

GRAENOLF! I MISSED YOU MAN!

[@Buddy22326]

Welcome back! I haven't really watched much youtube for a year ish..But still see the notifications...I don't often click them any more..But a Graenolf video.Yes! Love your videos and voices and content. Have loved watching it all over the year. Welcome back from New Zealand.

[@ben7607]

Hi Graenolf Oyfum, hope you’re doing alright.

[@deconstructing7307]

You're such a natural. You could do a TED talk and eventually a masterclass. 🤓

[@stagelinedpro]

Good to see you again. Well and just as energetic as ever. I have actually wanted to start VOing myself for a while, and this actually inspired me to give it a go.

[@jengatower1925]

No are you serious are you serious I searched you up because your content lives rent free in my head and I find this I'm so happy you're back!!!

[@C4rdion]

Finally!!!! Now the 2 week Skyrim and Graenolf binge phase can start again!

[@Perceptionreflection]

Happy to see you again! Your journey sounds much like how my husband became a writer for a gaming company. May our views bless you with the extra income you need to escape. We moved to Kansas because it's cheap AF here, so I recommend it as an escape option!

[@curpuple3778]

Man I miss this channel so much. You are a genuinely talented dude and I hope everything is going well in your life.

[@heinen345]

Man, I remember oyfum 😔

[@oldtimesong]

My friend, my life is an absolute dumpster right now. Thank you for coming back 🌞

[@FloofyDragonite]

I didn't complete my journey to watch ALL of the older videos but I went through so many. I'm here for this one!

[@FettTheWatcher]

Welcome back! So glad to see you, looking forward to what you make next!

[@dillpicklesock]

THIS IS INSANE- just happy you’re doing gpod

[@zangor150]

He's back?? Hell yeah! I remember back when I was a kid and would watch the Skyrim videos all the time. Then when covid hit I loved the comedy vids. So excited that Graenolf's back

[@bigtomar]

wait narration is actually such a perfect job for you, hope you come back later with more audiobook tales to be told

[@yes_hunny]

So glad to see you back! Your fans will always support you no matter how many subscribers you have and no matter how long of a break you take

[@MrBryant321]

Literally was just scrolling through your videos a couple weeks ago noticing how long it’s been since an upload. What a pleasant surprise

[@deathndarkness2.040]

Im getting sick of the city too, man. Good to know youve survived thus far! I quit some months ago from the grocery store I worked at when I met you. A manager keyed my friends car lol. As one who acquired my first car at the time, I did not want to be the next victim so I left. I thought about doing audio books for a while but havent had the motivation to do so. This is inspiring me to really look into it. If youre going into making content again, I hope you will continue to enjoy it as we have! You got my number (I think) so if you need any stand in, extra, other-scene-person-partner-thing or even a camera man, let me know. "Good too see Skyrim still has such fine people. You give an old man hope."

[@indigoskye4711]

Glad to see you're still around! Looking forward to what comes next ^-^

[@l.kuchen5738]

so glad to have you back!

[@jilljmj]

You’re amazing! I’m so glad you’re ok!!! 💗💗💗

[@NDracorex_]

THE RETURN

[@SophSax]

I still return to the FBI agent and chess piece series whenever I need a laugh. Welcome back! (also LOVE the audiobook pivot - very well-suited for a fellow yapper lol)

[@Graenolf]

Professional Yapper - that’s good lol. I’ll have to update my LinkedIn

[@avryantoinette]

I've been randomly watching all your old content for the last three days lmao. Welcome back!

[@lynackhilou4865]

Been watching since the fallout 4 days when far harbor was released , glad to see you back

[@Alex-fc8xn]

I think it's so cool that you decided to make a video talking about the industry and how people can get into it, despite the fact that the industry is already very competitive. I would ruin my voice if I tried because I cant even read for more than 10 minutes out loud without starting to lose my voice

[@bigwillyuh7159]

I missed you so much 😭😭😭

[@returnoftheromans6726]

I was wondering when you would come back! So happy to hear you are doing well!

[@ThomasHepler05]

Your Skyrim videos were everything to me in middle school. Im gonna be 19 next month and have my first boxing fight in 6 days. You carried my youtube account for a long time man. I hope all goes well for you, and thanks for being you!

[@yuzan3607]

My absolute favourite video of yours is the chess queen XDD in fact I'll go rewatch it right now. I think I discovered your channel during the pandemic. Good times.

[@intense_orange283]

same, the skits kept me afloat during the indoor-times and the chess ones are👌the best

[@sonnygummyjn.2151]

The king is back do whatever you wish brother just be happy that’s all that matters to everyone

[@ceecee9939]

I was literally rewatching your old videos a few days ago, so glad to see you!!

[@Damsel_In_Distress_528]

Oyfum I missed you. Your personality always manages to raise my spirits.

[@thandiwedlomo9971]

My two most favorite videos was the personified grocery list one and the demon in the room one, they don't get old, makes me laugh all-the time😂

[@loreleim3956]

You are amazing, so glad to hear from you

[@ThicccZaddy]

So glad to have you back Graenolf! Can't wait to see your next videos

[@AnaGuillenBachs]

Yesterday I saw your video: "when they pretend to be good at writing" and I couldn't stop laughing. Please come back, I need these laughs!!

[@gamingrambles]

I've always wanted to see really big Audiobook narrators like Michael Kramer, Travis Baldree and Jeff Hays make Tier lists for the most popular books they've narrated
