Hey folks, this will be the 'last' video of my voice-over experiment. Over the last four videos, I addressed the issues you guys pointed out in your feedback and applied them to this video. So if you liked this video, let me know in the comments below. If you did not like it and prefer the original subtitle format, let me know too.
Please go back to your subtitled videos, I found them greatly relaxing and entertaining. Meanwhile, the new format I have real trouble understanding and the ambient sound is lost, which was a huge part for me at least. I do love your content but can't really enjoy that much anymore.
Subtitle videos better😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder: you refer to Gary as the "fantasic city", we refer to it as the "armpit of the US".
Bring back the subtitle man. Its more relaxing.😊
Wasn't expecting this video to be entirely narrated over the subtitles, which was a nice change but I kinda prefer the subtitles more as your French accent can often be hard to understand. In all honesty, I'd rather watch one of your vids with the subtitles instead. I don't mind if it happens once in a while as it's a good reminder to us viewers your from France.
If you're traveling in coach (or the Amtrak breakfast offering isn't to your liking) into Chicago for a morning arrival, consider skipping the Amgrub and walk a couple of blocks from the station to longtime Chicago landmark Lou Mitchell's Restaurant, open for breakfast and lunch. It's where the Amtrak crews go.
I’ve never been able to understand why the Massachusetts section of the train was so short compared to the New York City section
Honestly i don't mind the voiceover. I think it helps add a personal touch. Plus there are subtitles if people have trouble understanding you.
Subtitles please! Thanks!
Best decision you guys made were to clean the windows yourself! :D Bravo!
I used to be a regular commuter on this train - if you book a little further in advance, you can get a coach seat between Boston and Chicago for less than $100!
Took this some years ago when a roomette was much cheaper and there was traditional dining. My favorite Amtrak trip for scenery is the California Zephyr, simply superb.
Merci, Thibault, pour avoir partargé ton vidéo avec nous.
Amtrak really needs to have North Station and South Station link up, (would likely cost ~$10bn to do so). It would help Amtrak and the MBTA Commuter Rail service so much. The "Northeast Regional" could then go all the way up to Portland, Maine; which would be a boon for that state.
Good for your friend for cleaning the window! The last time I cleaned my own window, in Philadelphia on a high-level platform so there was no danger, I was yelled at by an Amtrak employee. Dirty windows are a big minus for train travel.
I definitely like this voice-over format better than the silent videos!
man I love long distance in coach. It's just so chill, even without your own cabin. I rode the Cardinal in coach and absolutely loved it, even managed to get some ok sleep. I read like, an entire book
I took the Lakeshore Limited back in September in coach. It was a great trip and only delayed once. I would do this again in a heartbeat!
I like the voice over commentary very much, Thibault, and think you should keep it going. It gives viewers a much better feeling of being there with you on your journeys.
