Trying to Make Content Without Triggering Myself

I’m thinking about recording some tutorial videos with my commentary explaining how to use the aps and tools i made bloom and bunnybox and maybe some other stuff, but my natural voice is really triggering for me because its so deep and loud. Would it be unethical if I lightly altered my voice (pitch/formant) so I can actually make content without dysphoria shutting me down? I’m not trying to deceive anyone — just trying to make this doable for myself.

This is a classic problem, and you shouldn't even worry about it! My English is so-so, so if I were you, I'd use either subtitles or TTS (text-to-speech). Even if the AI ​​sounds better than mine... Deep and loud sound - that can always be fixed with editing, but it will take time to learn the tool and, of course, some effort.

P.S. If I were watching your video, I'd still turn on the voice translator. I've become so accustomed to the AI ​​voice that I simply can't listen to videos with real speech (This may be strange..). By the way, could you send me a link to the channel?

This is such an important topic. We talk a lot about tools and code, but we don't talk enough about the mental side of making content. I’m glad you’re finding ways to share your work that feel safe and sustainable for you. Keep going!

generated narrative is probably one of the AI useful applications I am okay with - not for art of course

Your content is a product just like your code is. The audience doesn't need to know how the sausage is made. Video content is all smoke and mirrors.
