I'm finally trying to push through getting this project and tutorial video done, so I need to get this out of the way -- I know I sound effeminate and neurodivergent, it's just easier to get all the insults out of the way so I can stop being self-conscious about my voice on this.
I already recorded the whole thing, then deleted it because I was talking all slowly and stilted like a nervous kid giving a speech in front of the classroom. This time I tried talking faster and more conversationally, but may have gone overboard and made it impossible to understand.
So what am I doing wrong, how do I improve? It's a shitty microphone, I know.
Also either rdrama hates m4a files or hates files from my phone, so you get an extra layer of mp3 compression added to this.

You wouldn't sound out of place on NPR, so I think you sound fine. You do need to slow down your speaking though

I'll rerecord a little slower tomorrow. Noticed most YouTubers speak in a regular talking speed and i can understand them fine, but they're also not using specific terms.
The script itself can't decide if it's a tutorial or a follow-along
Granted, that clip i posted would've been several minutes into the video when the context was more obvious so me rattling off "autohighbeams" wouldn't be so jarring, plus visuals of things I'm talking about

I didn't mean it in a
way btw, I meant it in a “pleasant voice/timbre that won't offend people” way (I don't know if that's better or not)
