I wish he'd just talk normal instead of inflecting his voice in that robotic way.

I feel lucky that doesn't bother me when watching his videos.

I can sympathize with you somewhat though, because the Food Wishes channel drives me insane for a similar reason. (Chef John has mentioned he speaks that way for his videos on purpose)

[JKCalhoun]

I expect it's more like how people often inflect differently when reading from a script, or if they're self-conscious about public speaking in general.

[bigyikes]

I think it might be partially intentional too. Nigel always has this pristine footage with uniform white backgrounds. It’s almost clinical, and the inflection is kind of on theme with that.

[cypress66]

In nileblue he doesn't talk like this. So clearly intentional.

That's why I cannot watch anime dubs. American voice actors are acting. Original seyuu often talk like normal people (there are exceptions of course, but in dubs it's 100% acting, they use "cartoon voice" which I hate).

Yeah I don't find it offputting, it makes sense for the presentation style. Although it's a bit jarring when you can feel like he's paused in the middle of a sentence to move to the next line.

I like his tone. For me as a non-native speaker, I never had any trouble understanding him.

[polishdude20]

Once I noticed this I can't un-notice it anymore. It's not that it's robotic but that the inflections always follow the same pattern. There's an upswing and then a downswing with almost each and every phrase.

[oersted]

You can definitely hear the difference in his more wacky NileBlue channel.

Think Carmack is faking it too? Some people just have that cadence

[aurareturn]

I enjoy the way he narrates his videos.
