There is a simple reason I don't vlog. I have a lisp. Now normally that wouldn't stop me, I'd just say what the hell and go for it, but it's more complicated than that.
I have some reflex control over my lisp, in so far as I can make it less pronounced, but I can't do it consciously. When I'm on stage, or otherwise performing in front of an audience, that's when it's least pronounced, my subconscious sort of goes "Shit; he's not meant to be Julian at the moment, lose the lisp" and so, to an extent, I do. Then, when I'm just talking to people normally, it's fairly tame; it will pop up from time to time but mostly it's just an odd way of pronouncing the letter "s" rather than a full blown saying "th" or "sh" instead of "s". But when I'm on my ownm because I can't actually hear the lisp in my voice, there's no reason for me to try not to lisp. And since Vlogging to me is just talking to myself... also, I can hear my lisp really strongly in my voice when I hear it recorded. And it... sickens me
