That's a really interesting view and I'll have to look into it a bit more. I used to be a professional sound recordist and was really fascinated by the craft that actors and voiceover artists put into their speech. The intonation, emotion and pace are really important aspects of their work. I also learned that recording the human voice with all of its range and subtlies was harder than I thought.
I agree, the jump cuts in a lot of videos can be exhausting.
