Thanks for the feedback everyone, I appreciate it!
@Protege, I'm not the best voice actor and I know it but I tried my best to come off the most "freelancerish" as I could. I did record this in Audacity but my mic is sorta ... meh. I recorded 10 seconds of background noise and then did the recording. Afther this, I removed the noise, increase the bass because noise removal makes it sound "tinny", and added sound compression with peaks. I tried to equalize it but I wasn't able find anything good so I left it at that. But trust me it took me a loooott of tries for every part of the narration to do and it wasn't just a once a recording thing. The shaky camera and zoom-in and zoom-out is happening because I wanted to record and display this from the perspective of a war correspondent (that's what my camera ships are called too )
I don't really have any professional training for video editing or anything to do with media. I just thought hey, I need to make a video, lets search youtube on how to make a video
P.S. I know it's a little dark, I'll try to do something about it but no promises. It takes a long time to render

I agree with the people saying the voice acting isn't the best, and I'd even dare to say the visual work isn't amazing at times either (dark, and as Protege said a bit shaky at times). I'd imagine someone new to the game might have a hard time figuring out what's being shown exactly from time to time.
However, the whole thing is still amazing. The voice acting wasn't top-notch, perhaps, but the lines spoken were. You managed to word what Discovery is all about while hyping the 'listener' up.

Okie, thanks! I'll keep that equalization track in mind. Other than that, my noise reduction and compression have the same setting as you .. except that I also check the map "peaks" button on the bottom right.
