Rule #1 - Don't get mad at teh intrawebz.
The internet is wonderful. It affords billions of people the opportunity to interact, learn new and interesting things and voice their opinions on them. It is also a statistical fact that as the internet becomes more ingrained in our culture, the increase in occurrences of socially inept, clueless or completely ignorant responders has a positive correlation.
As far as the vid is concerned, I, being from an intellectually and socially advanced culture in the Southern United States, did have some difficulty in being able to hear the various tortured English phrases being quietly murdered in the video.
(Just kidding. If you haven't heard a "Southern Drawl" from a Yank in the US, you may not understand the ironic jibe. ;) )
You have a deep voice and, coupled with the slight pronunciation differences, made it difficult to understand, especially in the trailing syllables and towards the ends of some sentences. I suffer from a similar tone coupled with a slight Southern drawl.
The solution: I'm not a Sound Engineer but maybe turning down the gain would help with the slight hiss and then putting the boom mic ( wearing a headset?) just below your bottom lip might help. (Might be able to hear better hear sharper syllables then?) Good tutorial by the way. All in all, there really isn't any reason for anyone to be critical of it.
The English and Americans - Two peoples separated by a shared language. :D
PS - As you can see, Americans are fascinated by the "comma" and various ways to torture it. :)
