    If you don’t mind me asking, is it the voice (accent, range, smoothness or lack thereof, etc) itself or is it the pattern of pitch he uses when explaining things? I personally have always found that pattern fascinating and wondered why he did it. I’ll try to give an example but it’s going to be over text so let’s say ALLCAPS means higher pitched while subscript means lower pitch:

    “At FIRST I though this might be a PROBLEM but in the end it actually wasn’t a ~big deal~. To BEGIN, I diluted some hydrocloric acid with some distilled WATER and placed it in a flask

    etc…

    I found it fascinating because it could just be how he naturally speaks. It could be that he’s trying to be clear and concise and maybe out of habit uses this pattern. Maybe he’s reading off a script and doesn’t realize he’s doing it? Maybe he knows there’s a rythmn to it that keeps the viewer interested…?

    For me I find there’s a need to put on something in the background to listen to half-assed while I do other work. NileRed videos work pretty well for this (though I barely understand what’s going on in them) because of this pattern of speaking.

    That said I could also see how it could get on people’s nerves.

      I don’t know, really. Just sounds like he’s super nasal and has a cold. Lack of smoothness. Harsh sound. Like the opposite of a radio voice, you could say.
