Thats exactly what your getting with any recorded media whether its in a studio, concert, or movie soundtrack...so what your really saying is that youtube videography in general stinks...which is plausible...im cherry picking the best. sure we would like to have a live audition for the perfect scenario but I still say high quality recordings can get you in the Ballpark to go check it out in person. so if you guys have a hard time with this idea just please ignore me and move on.A youtube video of a speaker audition is a misleading demo, period. "90% accurate"? It is an extremely poor way to get a handle on a speaker's sound. You can not properly judge how a speaker sounds from a Youtube video. It is not even close. In my list of reasons why it can't suffice, I did not even get into the audiological problems ie how your ears register sound, which is not much like a microphone. A microphone is no substitute for your ears, and the list of reasons why that is so is also the list of reasons why a Youtube video can not be a proxy for a speaker audition. It would be a big list, and I don't have time to get into it at the moment.
