Why the IT background matters

Most narrators read technical scripts. I understand them, and you can hear the difference.

Right emphasis, first timeI know which word carries the meaning in a sentence about change control, security or cloud, so fewer retakes and less rework.
Jargon said correctlyITIL, SLA, SQL, Kubernetes, ISO 27001. Acronyms and product names are pronounced consistently from the first slide to the last.
A smooth processPronunciation check up front, clean files named by slide, and pickups when the script changes.
