Few thoughts: 1. Go with smaller models so you can bang out the videos quicker, like 30-60 pt range tanks and planes. We're mostly here for the quippy dialogue and your painting abilities. 2. Save the big ships for your 4 month releases and do them as you go for what appears to be your own showing off of your abilities. 3. Your own voice is fine but unless you're not getting monetized over the other voice I'd stick with it as the majority of the videos are that one. Plus the lines seem funnier coming from a very adult sounding guy who you're not expecting to ramble on about wanting to further his craft then ask for us to add breadsticks to his order. Youthful voice I expect hot takes, it's just less funny. Your schtick is that you're a great modeler but we're not watching you for tips so much as smart-ass remarks, lesser easier models will allow you higher output and we don't expect those to look amazing anyways. Just my two cents. I can go watch Gunther paint 1/72 US airborne men, which are essentially army men toys, and paint them to such a level I wonder how is more insane: him for putting that much effort in or me for watching him. In the same breath I watched some Brit take a starter kit and make the model look amazing using what they gave him which really made me question ever getting an airbrush. Those guys exist already and your niche is being the smart ass of the group.
@@failtolawl Who cares about authentic? He's named boxman already? To me the jokes hit better from the more adult and serious sounding AI than the youthful real voice which I expect to have spicy takes.
While your actual voice is not bad or anything, I also prefer the ai voice. The jokes where really funny in the old and slower voice. Every time I hear this voice in other stuff, I think of boxman.
Anecdote. For myself, i was drawn to your vids for their simplicity, humor, and your skill as a model maker. If your original videos were easy to make, then i would suggest keep making em. I love all your content. Dont fall victim to scope creep and stress yourself out. You make great stuff anyway!
Keeping the AI voices around as background characters is a good idea honestly. Also I do hope the content shift you mentions doesn't mean the complete end of the scale modeling videos.
Really brave to move beyond the AI voice, as it definitely was something a lot of people liked, but as a creator, you know what's best for you channel. So have confidence in your choice and keep pushing on! Video was great as always, and looking forward to more in the future!
I really enjoy your channel after I ran into it a few months ago. To provide some personal feedback, initially I was put off at the start of the video a bit by the lack of your last AI voice, as it was pretty much pitch perfect in its nonchalant, brazen dictation. I thought your own recording did okay, and grew a bit on me as the video progressed, but I still think part of what I enjoyed from the AI voice was just that it was so clear and confident in its ridiculousness, like it didn't give its own damn about what was being said. Your recording was a bit, muffled and mumbbly in comparison and lacked the overall vocal range in enunciation of the other. It's not bad but I think you could improve it. You might want to experiment recording with more clarity and verbosity even if it causes your soul to partially die inside, at least this is what I force myself to do with my videos. Also there was some overall imbalance in certain parts of the recording where it was a significantly quieter than others. Some programs will automate this balancing. Also, I'm gonna be that dickhole and say the Titanic's central screw was almost surely three blades and not four like your model contains. If Revell only gave you a four prop blade you should ask them for a full refund and demand an personal apology for this historical atrocity.
That is some great feedback! i certainly agree about the a.i voice being perfect for it's confident ridiculousness that matches perfectly with the witty writing.
It's not against your voice, but I really loved the AI voice, it had a psychopathic tone that I enjoyed. Anyway, it’s a nice build and a great idea! Keep up the good work! :)
Fun fact, the reason the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats is because the lifeboats were not meant to remain full. They were meant to ferry passengers to and from a rescuing ship. Unfortunately, no ships responded to the Titanic's distress signals in time. Although I believe one was in range though they did not respond swiftly. Take this all with a grain of salt as I am not a Titanic expert.
It's lovely to hear your actual voice! The AI voice was fun but you have a relaxing tone that makes the building fun. Though do keep the AI for your fun segments!
Boxman, thank you. Your videos have given me some of the most positive comments and enjoyable moments I have ever had watching model building. I love how you work your magic to build a perfect symmetry between comedy and model building. I do not mind waiting, so long as you take care of yourself and don’t burn yourself out. Your videos are some of my absolute favorite of all time, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Thank you again & Take care of yourself
Seems like people really dislike change. The voiced might be different, but the humor and modelling skills are still the same. You should do whatever you feel most comfortable with and most passionate about. The fans and viewers will follow.
I actually really like the human voice, it just seems a bit quiet/understated. Even just having subtitles would make it *sound* more prominent. Glad the videos are becoming more personal and gradually improving
I am really impressed by how well that sinking mechanism lever contraption turned out to work! Slowed down 50% you can see it approaches a "real" sinking really quite well, which is super cool to see. Regarding your ending comments - man, all videos you've been making so far have been fun, the starting ones and the current ones. If you feel a production needs extra work, sure, but the "weekend version" works well for me to be honest! I'll be watching in any case!
I am still suspicious of this NOT being another AI voice, to whatever ends using and denying it as such could be. Regardless, new boat model video. Wonderful.
I’m happy to see your return, but i hope you will get to all the models in your stash with your smart ass commentary, it honestly the best part about watching your stuff, and you actually make the building process entertaining to watch , I personally am a psycho path and am going to be building a 1:450th scale hasegawa yomumto and painting most of it by hand with only one small brush and tamaya paint without any thinners because it accidentally ate my airbrush budget for the next few months, I have no idea what I’m doing I’m just building and trying to be happy with my work and improving without thinking hard
This is soooo cool! Love your videos! This one is impressive, didn't know there is such thing as Titanic models made for historically-accurate sinking.
its awesome hearing your real voice, and alongside i find the modling interesting but its the humor and info you bring to the video im here for, im sure what ever you do will be successful homie and i look forward to what you do.
I wanted something like this! I even bought a 1:600 revell kit to make a sinking model of the titanic... But I never did since I was too scared to lose my 40$ 😅 Thank you for showing us how its made!
As someone who does unhinged scifi kitbashes/Frankenstein builds 9:55 is a constant event for me during any of my works...and that includes removing the random unrelated piece out of rage.
Honestly thought the AI voice was your dad and so I was thinking 'wow, this is a wholesome father/son vid' (content, humour and real life event aside) 😂
I actually had that toy as a kid because my brother and I were obsessed with Titanic. If I knew how valuable it would be I would’ve never taken it out of the box
Your humor is amazing but the AI voice sounded so disinterested which made the whole videos top tier. Your own voice doesn't have the same dry delivery 😂
every time boxman drops a video I go back and watch all his other builds again, truly wish there was more boxman but if he churned them out they prolly wouldn't be the same
I gotta tell ya, Dave Boxman, you're the reason I dumped my Gunpla obsession and started building Fujimi's 1/700 Yamato. I would've gone with Pitroad or the ludicrously priced 1/350 Tamiya Yamato, but I'm broke and a n00b. It's going well. The snap-fit nature of the kit is a bit infuriating since the pegs are wider at the end, but it's coming together despite it's protests.
fuckkkk yesssss new boxman upload. there was definitely something i liked about the ai voice but honestly gonna echo other commenters and say that you gotta do you and I'll def keep watching. plus you'll get better at the voiceover the more you do it and your brand will come thru stronger for it.
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched but I went back and watched some older ones and I like the real voice better, but I thought that having the AI voice come back as a “character” was really funny.
Great job with getting the sinking to work so well! Very impressive. If you do decide to take the model out to the YMCA for a public sinking be sure to bring a 20lb bag of ice. Also consider bringing a large cup of ice from various fast food establishments and insist that you've found the correct ratio of the various types of ice they offer to properly recreate the ice conditions of the North Atlantic. Also water wings. Cuz short bus implications.
I remember trying to build titanic models as a kid and trying to make it split in half. I fucked up so hard every time, and I just decided to build other models so I wouldn't be tempted into murdering my titanic kit again.
