@Kung Fu Steve Thanks so much for the reply - this is some golden advice.
Yeah, I totally get you!
Interestingly when I'm speaking people face to face, I usually get the opposite (confident) to the point where I can say random false things and get people to believe me (for clarity, I do this as a joke and not because I'm trying to trick people).
I don't think that confidence has completely followed me over to the camera yet.
I'll try and focus on my tone and inflexions in my next video.
I definitely also notice my voice getting higher as I go on, that needs to be sorted too.
Oh this sounds fun! I'll give this a go.
I live in Japan so I don't think I'm going to be able to shout at the top of my voice (thin walls, neighbours will call the police) but I'll do my best.
I'll post it on here when I record it.
Thanks again for your input.
Take this small bit for instance: <snip>
You're telling people "Here's the reason you can't finish what you start... and that is perfectionism..."
Even that point right there you're trying to hammer -- when you SAY perfectionism, there's a weakness in your vocal cords and a tightness in your neck. You're delivering the word but there's no certainty behind it.
You're trying to convince ME that perfectionism is my problem but it SOUNDS like you're trying to convince yourself. Does that make sense?

Here's a good practice tool (and if you're up for recording it, put it up here and we can do more).
I want you to say the words "Click the button to subscribe now."
