Your voice wasn't that bad. You sound 14, not squeeky and 14. Could be much worse.
Now, for the criticism:
I like Catch22 as much as the next guy, but I'd cut the background music from any future tutorials you do. Too many sounds at once and your voice gets lost, at times.
I have to say, I expected a bit more... instruction. This is more like a list of paints which is great if someone wants to copy your color scheme, but it doesn't show you how to paint anything. Might be worth your while to go a little more in-depth in future tutorials.

Very nice paint job. You showed impressive ability to paint each detail without ever going out of the lines onto your gray. It was inspiring for me to watch, since it's getting about time for me to paint my own ork boyz!
The only suggestion I have (which might save you a bit of time) would be to pain all your bigger colors first and use each color in all the places it will go at once (a opposed to doing the guns and shoulders separately) and then come back and do the details, then you won't need to be as careful about getting outside the lines.
All in all, very crisp lines and I'm positive you have a lot of potential as a painter.
Check out myProject (B)log! I would love any suggestion or comments you may have.
i'm 14 too, you haven't got a high voice at all, you shud try for skin, orkhide shade, base, highlight with knarloc green, final highlight with goblin green, it comes out really well and you can blend them all for character models too
Not too shabby! Certaily an effective table top miniature paint job .
My only suggestion would be not to say "then" so much. Instead, use other transition words such as "next, quickly, and Finally". It will help you out in the long run, many people don't appreciate good public speaking abilities so mastering these will make you stand out in both the job and warhammer worlds
Also, congrats. I'm 19 and still haven't done a tutorial.
The difference between commitment and involvement is like eggs and ham; the ckicken was "involved", the pig was "comitted".
But the only thing I saw was that, you're really showing how you paint your Orks, as opposed to just painting an Ork.
This is why most tutorials, show how to paint a certain Ork from a tribe, and how to use certain paints, washes, inks, and techniques to get the required effect.
Other than that, nice job, I like how your Orks come along. So in due time you'll paint pretty awesomely.
Sir how dare you! Although, when youre talking you dont need the music.
Also as others have stated, rather than list the paints you use, talk about how youre painting. Did you thin your paints? Why or why not? Are you painting in a certain way, or with a specific strategy? Stuff like that.
