2: 27 I don't know how weeds are harmful or negative in any way (do they damage the tracks or the train) but I like seeing them. It makes the tracks and the overall environment prettier!
I love hearing the French accent - but it was hard for me to understand, so I did have to turn the auto-subtitles on. So for the actual content I prefer subtitles. But I do like hearing your voice! It's good for moments like when you're describing the trip on the map and the summarization at the end.

Interesting to see you try out voice-over! Your English is quite good, but sadly your accent is just a bit too noticeable, which requires me to concentrate more on what you're saying than on the actual video. I think that's a shame, I prefer to be immersed fully in the video environment and the railway atmosphere.
So my opinion: this was a nice experiment, but I'd very much prefer if you went back to subtitles-only. :)

I did have problems understanding some words. While your English is decent, I'm not sure it is ready for narration.
Great job as always on the review. I hate dirty windows too!
When are you going to come back to the United States and review the most scenic route, the California Zephyr?

I remember when Paul starting talking in his trip reports and I hated it. and then he didn't in one video and I hated it even more. So yeah, keep the spoken narration please. Its a lot easier to take in the sights when I don't have to split my attention with the subtitles.

While I appreciate the voice attempt, and the video, my wife and I who are American, found your French accent a bit thick and hard to understand at times. Suggest you stay with the captions instead. Loved the scenery, although the dirty coach windows detracted at times.

I like the overall change. Sometimes I found the subtitles distracting and prevented me from actually seeing your video. Additionally, hearing your voice makes it easier for the audience to connect with you. Also, Americans love French accents: )

The accent was quite strong, a few words I couldn't understand. Needs to sound a little more enthusiastic too but the content was excellent with valid criticisms (weeds were bad) and comment on scenery -.
Pleasant change to have a spoken commentary.

1 thing I don't like about the naration is the fact that the sound of the train cuts out as you speak, could you overlay the two, maybe if it's too loud just fading out the background noise untill it's not bothering is an option

Great Video with the commentary(preferred. I did not miss always looking at the bottom of the screen for your description of what I am seeing. I also found your commentary very conversational; not stunted very well done. Thank you

As someone who's learning French, I'd love to have the combination of English subtitles and you speaking French as a voice-over: D Maybe that could be another test in the future but for now, good job for trying out new things!

I kind of prefer the subtitles just because the videos are so chill that way. peaceful and can take in the sounds more. when someone is talking it makes it like i have to pay more attention or im missing stuff, etc

As a non-native English speaker I appreciate the subtitles a lot. Voice is definitely nice too, as a matter of personal touch, but for me it would preferably be only on top of the subtitles, not instead of.

Excellent! Although I love it, I do prefer the subtitles. but I wouldn't say no to a mix of both!
If you are interested also, the SNCF font for the start of your video is called -Achemine-: )

Not a Native speaker, so I prefer subtitles. Although I absolutely loved the voice-over as well!
How about we. 'couple'. these two 'trains' of thought? Hmm?
Okay, I'll see myself out: p

Your trip reports really have an amazing sound quality and ambience, making me feel I'm actually riding along all those different trains. That is why I prefer subtitles: )

Thanks for the vocal narration; I really enjoyed this video. I agree, not having a conductor is very frustrating. It is not fair to have fare dodgers taking up seats on the train.

You need at least a lapel mic to record the voice over. The voice recording in this video sounds echo-y. Also subtitles are still welcome even with voice over.

Love the voice over, although looking at the comments its probably best to include both voice over and subtitles in the same vid to fit what everyone wants

Why don't you speak AND use subtitles? Some people prefer to watch your videos with the speakers turned off, others don't.
