A client asked me to sound more like a robot… and then demonstrated it 😂

That moment said a lot about how people think voiceovers should sound.

But what actually keeps your audience engaged isn’t perfection— it’s tone, pacing, and connection.

If I’m sitting there wondering, “Is this AI or a real person?” then, I’m not even listening to the content anymore—I’m just in my own head.

That’s the difference between something being heard versus being understood and remembered.

🎧 You can hear my difference here:

I'm curious:

🧠 What pulls you in more—a perfect (near robotic) delivery or something that feels real??

The majority of mental health applications are created with a backwards approach. They request users to start the conversation, which is the very issue that needs to be addressed - people find it difficult to initiate conversation. So, I made a simple adjustment: I eliminated the initial blank input field. This has changed the interaction: Now the AI initiates the conversation, users respond according to their emotions, and the input of text or voice comes after, not before. This minor change has a significant impact because starting a conversation is often the most challenging part. If your product still presents users with a blank input field right off the bat, you're asking them to tackle the most difficult task first.

If you are to interact which will you go for?
