Should I script my video voiceovers and how do I make them not sound like I'm reading?

Yes, you can absolutely script your voiceovers. The key is to not film yourself reading the entire script at once. Instead, read the first sentence, then turn on your camera and say just that sentence naturally. Stop recording. Read the second sentence, then turn on the camera again and say that one. Break it into small pieces—one or two sentences per clip. Then stitch all those clips together in editing. This way it sounds natural and conversational, not like you’re reading, because you’re only remembering one sentence at a time.
