Wow Cotty, this is such great advice, thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
Haha "clear voice" :D. The hardest part for me is the narration, after 25 years you'd think I'd lose the accent at least a little! I'll try to keep those suggestions in mind--it's the first time ever I do any video editing, I've been lucky to work closely with talented editors so while I can appreciate it I never had to learn how to do it. The one thing I know, and especially for Youtube, is that the way to learn and improve is to just do it. It's super interesting to watch the first few videos of any youtuber whose craft you respect--you often can see how they got better over time.
