      Though it is Norwegian the Vikings during that time spoke old Norwegian which is more similar to Icelandic than our current language which was forced by the Danes.

      Don't force me to order the proofreading on video descriptions also :) I plan to do occasional narration job too, particularly on East Europe themed videos, but first I need to do alot of homework regarding my voice over "artistry". There are so many layers begging for upgrade in my videos, next year is gonna be exciting, and very busy.

    • @g-rexsaurus794
      @g-rexsaurus794 Před 7 lety +15

      You just need to tone down the accent, it doesn´t need to be a perfect British or America clean accent. A Eastern European tone would be perfect for Eastern European videos.
      If it is not too much, do you ever plan to reupload the old videos? Is very hard to follow them. :(

    • @BazBattles
      @BazBattles  Před 7 lety +47

      Tone down the accent you say, I wish it was that easy :) Try speaking Polish! (not to offend any other hard-to-learn languages, like Hungarian, Finnish, Chinese & more)
      I plan to reupload some of my older videos since the first voice-over feedback appeared in my mail. I'm just waiting till I'll be pleased with my current videos, then I'll be refreshing them with new VO layer, along with the visual&audio overhaul.

      As someone from England, I don't think he's English. Sounds like he's from Australia or South Africa to me, especially the way he pronounces certain words. "Death" for example, sounds more like "dith", or back as something sounding like "bick".

    If i could offer my opinion, I think it would greatly add to the video as a whole if you
    1. described the units armor and weapon make up for each side briefly in the beginning,
    2. make a key on what each box means. It took me a couple videos to realize what each unit was and that the units with bold outlines are the heavier troops and the stars are the more experienced.

    I know it's more modern than you usually do, but may I recommend doing a video on the siege of Miss Dagh? It's a very interesting moment in history, in my opinion, at least.

    Harold...Harald...I'm not the only one who got confused at times, right?

    I love these videos, though I prefer the less accented voice. Only minor correction on the Norwegian names: The emphasis is on the first syllable in most names, so it's HARald(like Harold, same names), not HarALD, and HARDrada, not HardRAda. Same with SIGurdsson, not SigURDsson. Would love to see Both Stamford Bridge and Hastings after this. Keen to see the graphics of William's feigned retreat at Hastings:) The cracking and white flags are so simple and brilliant to show how the battle is going.

    Actually the witan first chose Edward the exile, son of king Edmund Ironside, as king. But he died on his way to England.

    I am a really really big fan of battles more closer to modern day like World War 1 and 2 and stuff like that if you could do that I would love it but still keep up the good work honestly this is amazing!
