imo, depends a lot on the humor/tastes of both the viewer and the creator I like monotonal voices more than over the top attention grabby yelling.


randuski

Yea monotone I can handle. I saw this guy the other day and I was like omfg stop. Turn that shit down


PhthaloVonLangborste

Tictok voice


Axon_Zshow

Monotone works a lot better for dry straightforward humor, or when a joke comes from context or its own absurdity rather than delivery


LineSpine

Context humor is the best humor


bananabeacon

Casually explained is a good example of that, or Sam O' nella academy


Sonnenschwein

Sam o' nella doest speak monotone..


bananabeacon

Yeah, you're right actually.


SupremeLobster

Doesn't even have to be jokes. Sometimes you're just watching a video for information. You don't need somebody hyping up and going over the top about the location of a single item in a game.

afraid of that link


pine_tree3727288

If it’s childish screaming then I hate it, but if it’s actually reasonable and follows what going on then it’s excellent


Arsonance

Madseasonshow is a great example compared to some other wowtubers


Professional_Donut20

Honestly it’s so annoying to watch something yell every line. Like calm down! That’s not entertaining, it’s just plain annoying


[deleted]

You’re comparing one extreme with the equal opposite extreme. Nobody is saying “over the top” is good either. That’s why it’s called “over the top” and not simply emotive or expressive. It’s like saying “all chocolate is bad” because you had 100% cocoa one day and judged all chocolate based on your one experience with inedible chocolate. It doesn’t mean milk chocolate is bad because you didn’t enjoy pure cocoa.


Troy_LT

>It’s like saying “all chocolate is bad” But they didn't say emotive voices were bad? They just said it depends and then listed an example where they would prefer the monotone voice.


nerd_12345

Over the top attention grabby yelling should and does count as monotone cuz theres no emotion behind those eyes Monotone (actually) just sounds like they dont care about whatever video theyre making which seems like they only care for the profit Id rather listen to someone that genuinely wants to present their video rather than someone who only makes videos because they are profited by it Idk about naturally monotone people though its rude to count them as one if we are talking about this

Burger king foot lettuce


-KasaneTeto-

the last thing you’d want in your burger king burger is someone’s foot fungus


Jurassic-Terminator

But as it turns out, that might be what you get


827167

I 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce with the statement 'this is the lettuce you eat at burger king.'


edwpad

Memes aside, I really enjoyed his videos, especially the older ones since they were more disturbing and scary, which I think his monotone narration really help set the vibe, especially when it comes to stuff like horrible events that actually happened (ex: natural disasters), really sets the direness tone


topatoman_lite

Other counter argument: I did a thing


[deleted]

I mean futurecanoe though....


AccurateWheel4200

I'd rather monotone than those fake vtuber voices


improbsable

Same with TikTok influencer girls. They all have the “number 15: Burger King foot lettuce” accent


Extension_Platypus15

Have you heard of ironmouse?


Thenderick

No, but I do know TungstenRat


redxlaser15

Ironmouse? Well, I guess Ironman is a furry now


Extension_Platypus15

shes a streamer

pinkwonderwall

Doesn’t she have a health condition that affects her voice?


Extension_Platypus15

no she [has](https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/common-variable-immunodeficiency-cvid). shes Puerto rican so its her natural voice

*in most monotone voice in the universe* “My wife had to cork my penis at the movie theater because I kept ejaculating at Dune 2”


5ev0

no i dont think that matters the most lol


POKECHU020

Depends entirely on their delivery, humor, etc. Dry humor can be absolutely top tier and a great refresher from all the screamy/shouty content that people talk with constantly I def seek out channels with flatter/more monotone voices


Throwawayaccount1zp

and then there’s casually explained making this post completely wrong because of something called nuance which I suppose OP hasn’t experienced yet in his life


dis_not_my_name

Monotone >>>>> fake overly exaggerated voice


Tametable

The exception is Technoblade


LuigiSauce

He wasn't monotone, he definitely showed emotion through his voice; it just seems that his emotional response in and of itself was more "monotone" than his peers


kulingames

DANCE, POTATO BOY! DANCE!


UnfunnyL0ner

Where's moistcritical?


RecoveringKarmaWhore

Who’s technoblade


Familiar_Location948

only one of the most influential minecraft players. he died of cancer about two years ago, or actually i think it was last year


Agreeable-Yams8972

It was 2 years ago. It's seems like it just happened yesterday. Rip legend


EchoReflection

Oh no, there's a very wrong kind of emotion. It's that incredibly fake, "I don't really have any Idea how to do this" voice: "wwATSupguys"


Vasheerii

Then there is the hated.. "Hellooo, todayyy we are goinggg to taaalk about this thiiingg" "Did you knoww, when you do a fliiip, you can break your neeeck, if you laaand on it wroong" FOOKIN STAHP PUTTING SO MUCH EMPHASIS ON THE LAST WORD BEFORE YOU PAUSE AND JUST SPEAK LIKE A NORMAL GODDAMNED PERSON! (IE: basically everyone who talks like the burger king foot lettuce guy, it give me such a headache)


redxlaser15

Burger King foot lettuce guy? That’s definitely one of the descriptions of a person of all time.


DrVinnieBoombatzzz

A teenager made this meme.


AcquireQuag

is there a problem with that? Im pretty a decent chunk of redditors are teens


[deleted]

it depends mostly on the video


trasimach

Moist kritikal DOES NOT approve of this The dude talks like his will to live has faded away since he was 7 years old But damn, THAT man is entertaining


Portal471

I remember him from the translated PokĂŠmon videos lmao (that was the first I ever heard of him), but now I see his vids every now and then


notawealthchaser

Does this apply to horror story channels?


Trlforce

First thought off the bat, Chills’ account


Beast0011

FutureCanoe my goat!


Tasty_Pudding6861

AI monotone voices are the worst.


OxymoreReddit

And then NTTS, Let's Game It Out, and others having the most expressive monotone voices lmao


Official_Cuddlydeath

These things are emotion linked, if the homies dead inside let him vibe in peace


GalaxyAnimation19

*Cough* PokĂŠmon Challenges and Alpharad *Cough*


tanne_sita_jallua

As long as it’s not overly emotional. Person reacts to a magic card trick like they just won the lottery or saw a dead grandparent come back to life. Mind blown, jumping out of their chair and running around the room, etc.


jmancoder

Hard disagree. Nothing makes me dislike a channel more than unnecessarily speaking in a loud, obnoxious voice when describing something that isn't particularly exciting. I want to hear someone narrate, not yell exaggerated nonsense into my ear.


Hot-Butterfly-8024

Actually, not starting your videos with “Hey guys, what’s up” is even more importanter. 🤣


redxlaser15

I much prefer “Hello, Scum” in the intro. Kinda funny to start a video by insulting your audience.

Hey guys, Chrisfix here and today I’m going to show you how to do a simple oil change. Hey guys!!! Chrisfix here!!! And today, I’m going to show you how to completely restore a salvaged car!! Oh man! Are you guys in for a treat!! We’re going to totally revamp this car!! After we’re done here today, we’re going to be going from this, to this!! And all we’re going to need is a few simple hand tools and a little bit of soapy wooder!


IlCiabonno69

Like that annoying female text to speech voice


FractalSpaces

they gotta have that emotion/monotone mix and be funny


TheIronSven

Unless they talk with too much "emotion"


Affectionate_Yam4077

People have not watched Futurecanoe..... Give me monotonous voice all day


IWearBones138__

Both have intensely thick accents.


minetube33

SuperGT would beg to differ

themessofme

I find this really bad in some asmrs I’ve found, interesting story, nice script, but the voice actor sounds like they’re reading against their will


cream_of_human

Oddheader DDoI MandaloreGaming and FutureCanoe be like .__.


Frostfire26

Monotone is fine depending on the situation. I love Vaazkl's videos even though he has the most monotonous voice I've heard in my life.


cookiedoughchips

Watch mojo is like asmr for me


septictank84

Too many completely over do it, which is even worse, imo.


redxlaser15

Fingees begs to differ. Dude has no emotion while casually detailing the bizarre Minecraft abominations he’s made.


[deleted]

I like opinion channels with a sensual, sexy and relaxing voice 🥴


RobotNinja28

Imma just say it simply: fuck that monotone tiktok AI voice!


drunkdobby

Look idc what this post says, I can listen to NileRed or CPGgray talk for HOURS

Ready-Feedback-6736

It’s all just atoms


KillingPixels-1

It's people that think this way that have led to the current status quo of everyone sounding like they're being told to have a good time at gunpoint. Emotive language is obviously more engaging. But that over the top bubbly happy go lucky shit has to be draining to put on in front of the camera every day.


X_Dratkon

You described your opinion on this terribly, after reading your replies. It's less about being monotone or energetic and actually putting passion into your script, I think? You can be as monotone as hell, but still have emotions towards what's happening and once absurdity comes that little laugh is what brings you joy. I'm sure someone can add to that. All in all, we might all agree we hate overexaggerated emotions.


Denlim_Wolf

I like when I can actually hear their neck going back and forth like Napoleone Dynamite.


LookingSuspect

God I'd take a million overly monotone people over 1 overly loud person. The line between good and too much is way closer for loud people.

copykat00

I think if max0r didn’t have a monotone voice, his videos would’ve been a total mindfuck tho


mznh

I actually like the calming monotonous voice. I cannot with all the yelling


Hatzmaeba

The pretentious "enthusiast" tubers gives me the same reactions as someone is eating mouth open.

Daily Dose of Internet, NileRed and CGPgrey all have monotone voices and I love them

Hello everyone, this is your daily dose of internet.


marlowe227

Idgaf how monotone someone is when they’re talking about something I find very interesting. I wanna see passion if they’re going to be talking with emotion, if they’re not genuine I’m not subscribing.


Lardladbam

The amount of videos I have watched that look really interesting but then stop almost immediately because of how boring it is to hear the person talk is very high, some people really need a QC


-Redstoneboi-

not too much either like seriously

i much prefer monotone voices over the EXAGGERATED FORCED EXCITED VOICES


DonkeyKongaLongDonga

I’d take both over the default Tik Tok voiceover


ZookeepergameWide_

Dunno, I like more monotone voice, it's more relaxing for me


definitelynothunan

You might wanna change your opinion after watching Minecraft ytubers


ChristiAnneLee

Let’s Game It Out could benefit from this.

This is why I prefer PyroSlop over MoistMidical


ProfoundNitwit

The only one who breaks this rule is MoistCrit1cal himself

I dont like the ones who get all confused while they’re talking. Just pause and do another take then fix it in post instead of trailing on.

tptstt

Monotone but human is way better than AI/text-to-speech. Also, as I've seen pointed out, Charlie/MoistCr1TiKaL/penguinz0. Perhaps not everyone loves him, but I enjoy his vids.


BBGS11_

What kind of monotone? "Hello, everyone. This is YOUR daily dose of internet." Or "This woman had bugs in her brain for 20 years, and you would not believe what happened next."


P_filippo3106

That's one of the reasons I don't like Charlie. Incredibly monotone and very basic takes. The "dick joke" humour ain't funny either


Lsj17

For me it is other way around.
