Good content, extremely boring narrator

I liked the content, but the narration is so boring and mind numbing. I dont think iv ever heard a voice more boring. It sounds like a voice from the 1980s that was made by a computer dictating text. The accent and the low pitch of the voice is off-putting. I can only pay attention for 45seconds at a time before it just becomes a low drone noise in the background. Which is a shame because I find the content very interesting. I’m not sure I will get through this. Please release with a different narrator! One with a different accent, cadence and pitch.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
