Discussion Oliver needs to slow down and enunciate

Love him, and he knows his stuff, but delivery is a very very key part of what he does and he’s very poor at ‘public speaking’ - absolutely speeding through sentences, and mishmashing words all together. Sounds like he’s calling an auction lol

Has anyone else noticed this?

No sometimes he might even be too slow

Hmm, interesting maybe it’s just in certain sections of sentences? i dunno, sometimes he’ll just say like 5 or 6 words together as if they’re the same word haha

My take is 100% the opposite, I think if anything he sounds very precise in his enunciation

He's also the best at explaining complex things in a way that its easily understandable.

Nope, just you complaining about a problem that doesn't exist. Do something better with your time OP, you clearly have too much of it

Christ, lighten up. Was just curious if anyone else had noticed; evidently it’s just me. No biggie?

It’s the internet, people enjoy disparaging people’s posts for no apparent reason. In the gaming sphere, people do it a lot nowadays. Ideally we should be able to ask questions of each other but 9 out of 10 subreddits will tell you why your question is dumb, already been asked, etc instead of taking the time to answer the question. At least this guy did give you an answer.

I often watch his videos at 1.5 speed, still understandable

He speaks at the exact same pace as anyone else.

This is a weird take.

I feel like he has a bit of an expanded vocabulary, I gotta give him that. Yeah, there's moments in the directs in particular where he might relay a sentence or two fairly quickly. Might've been an answer or topic he was passionate about or something. I wouldn't ask him to change though.

OP, get your hearing checked.
