What was the crickets for and why did my videos have a down rate on them?




Are you seriously suggesting that it's possible to upload videos of you gargling gravel to YouTube and not at least get some downvotes? 


It wasn't "gargled gravel" at all.  I depicted those characters quite well.

The words I have spoken in those voices I've made might have been gibberish, but I don't think the voices themselves were garbled nonsense.  I think the voices themselves do convey those characters.

So if there was a beautiful painting and it had a few scratches and blotches on it, you would really dismiss it, regard it as garbage, and throw it out?  Really?  Couldn't you just look at the painting for what it is now and see that it truly was a beautiful painting despite those scratches and blotches?  Why must those scratches and blotches blind you from seeing the true beauty and greatness of that painting?  I know that I don't have such blindness.  But here, take another listen at this.  This time, try not to let the flaws blind you:

I think it's the former.....similar to the Lake Wobegon effect and possibly needs help.
Of course, the CH is definitely the wrong place for this.

Why do you think I need help?  I think you are basing this conclusion on a misconception.  Read my previous post and it should clear up that misconception for you.

There's no there there. This is often a misunderstanding.  Aesthetics have rules to be met before one is able to decipher the gesture (a key upon which to base meaning) The hoi polloi may believe what you said, but it's simply an alternative fact.  Truth is still alive with my friend Mario!  Bravo!

But this is a different situation.  Let me explain.  On American Idol, you are judged overall on your singing talent.  You are judged based on many factors.  But I am asking you to focus on only one factor here.  That factor would be how the sound of those voices suit the images in my videos.  I am not asking you to focus on any other factors (i.e. pops and clicks, words that sound like gibberish, etc.).  I am merely wanting you to solely focus on the personality that the voices themselves convey and how they suit the images I have used.

Audio engineers are like IT in any company.  They're necessary...but generally lack inventiveness (unless they're musicians in the former and unless they write programs in the latter).  So mario use their services if necessary, but here it's nut.

Oooooohhhhhhhhhh!!! Why didn't you say so.......
 
Ok, ok, ok.....here's my take on this (after watching/listening to all your videos):
 
1) the 'voices'/noises are just a bunch of noises coming from your mouth and definitely DO NOT suite the images
 
Nothing more......nothing less.

This is what I say to my wife after a particularly loud bowel movement.

But if the sound of the voice was not your typical sounding voice that one would make (such as imitating another person) and this voice was something artistic and beautiful despite the flaws that this voice had (i.e. too loud, too soft, crackling, etc.), then that would make that voice a work of art.  If you pay attention to all the other flaws, then you will fail to appreciate the work of art that this voice really is.  The voice conveys a beautiful personality and that is what matters.

As millennial's would say.....the "struggle is real" bro!

 
You mean to say that you don't perceive any personality in the voices despite their flaws?  I perceive a distinct personality in those voices and, to me, they perfectly convey those images.  For example, with that boss voice I made.  Despite the fact that there are some flaws and there are no words, the voice itself sounds like a fat yelling man and that is what suits that boss image.
 
So use that standard as a means to judge these voices I made.  Do not use the typical standard such as what American Idol judges use because as long as you go by that standard, then you will fail to appreciate the works of art that these voices truly are.  Therefore, here is one final voice I made.  I think that is my final voice I will post here.  So here it is.  I think it is my best one:

It sounds like you're fishing for compliments based on things that a 5 year old child could do. I mean I could post a picture of a duck on YT along with 3 minutes of me saying quack, and then if anyone questioned the artistic merit of it then I would say "yes but don't you agree that me saying quack like that is an accurate representation of what's in the picture and that I have managed to convey that particular animal with an accurate degree of blah blah blibbety...."

I think maybe you're mistargeting your audience. You need to aim for the Sesame Street crowd.

A 5 year old could not do this.  The voice that a 5 year old would come up with would be one of those typical voices I've just mentioned in my previous post.  Read my previous post I just made for further insight.  Therefore, I think I am targeting the proper audience here.

I think maybe you're mistargeting your audience. You need to aim for the Sesame Street crowd.

I am going to say one more thing in regards to this.  Pretend for a moment that there is a child who is attempting to imitate the voice of a yelling boss like I just did.  Despite the fact that both my imitation and that child's imitation both have flaws, my voice would be much better than his.  My voice would convey that boss image far better than that child's.  The child's imitation would be weak, mediocre, and lame while mine would be great.  So that is what I am getting at here.  Despite the flaws in these voices I have made, they are works of art better than what a child or any lay person could do.
 
Think of a really good voice imitation out there done by a professional (such as the imitation of a yelling boss).  A child would not come anywhere near close to the greatness of that imitation.  But I would come closer to the greatness of that imitation.  It is not because my voice is older and the child's is younger.  Rather, it is because I did a better job than that child.  So despite the vast amount of flaws in my voices, my voices themselves do come closer to a professional imitation.  It is a better imitation than what any child or lay person could do.
