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?
i haven't posted anything new thanks for the feedback

that makes lots of sense i appreciate the feedback i ll give it a shot
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!
thanks I'm glad i was able to to get so much feedback and able to ask about these things
You’re welcome:)
use AI generated neutral audio 👂 recommended
thanks ill look into it😊
generated narrative is probably one of the AI useful applications I am okay with - not for art of course
I'm late to the party here, but I just want to say that I'm fine listening to altered voices. And I don't assume the speaker is trying to be deceptive.
... but I know that entirely AI-generated voices or TTS put a lot of people off. They're great for accessibility, but the well has been poisoned by this point and people immediately close a video if they think any part of it is AI. If I click on a link and an AI voice starts narrating something I generally leave because 99% of the time it's slop.
And I think it puts you in a really difficult position - but altering the pitch will still leave your voice sounding like a human, and having the regular gaps and glitches humans exhibit, and would be fine for most people.
Good luck!
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.
LOL that is a great way to put it thanks😂
