So I don't want to pursue voice acting as a vocation, HOWEVER, I do lots of voice overs for these videos that I make about microbiology. I've got a really boring, droning, voice. Is there some way I can make this slightly better? I feel myself improving with practice, but if there's something specific that would really help then I'd like to hear it.

If you'd link a video/audio file, I can do my best to help you and give specific advice. There's absolutely no way I can give you specific advice if I can't hear it.

As a general tip for what I assume to be your problem though, I'd recommend for you to imagine yourself speaking on-stage to a large group of people. They're all here to listen & see you, and they want to be entertained. Sound interested and excited about what you're talking about!

poo poo, pretend you're Beakman.

When I post my tutorial about how to read plates on youtube I'll also include it in this thread.
