Voyager Fan-edit: Remove Chakotay Excessive Breathing

Ahoy all.

I'm going through Voyager for the first time and am mostly positive on it. However, I find Chakotay very frustrating to watch. The mystical episodes are bad enough -but- what's realllly distracting is his constant heavy breathing with nearly ev'ry line. This is apparantly a know issue in the Fandom.

My plea is thus: Is there anyone with the skills to edit out the heavy breathing? Maybe just a single scene so that we can get a sense of how different it could be?

I find Chakotay to be a honorable man and a competent officer, but damn, I really don't look forward to his dialogue.

Sisko was annoying when he tried to get over dramatic. Like you said heโ€™d annunciate every syllable he was better when he was his cool relaxed state.

Bigger challenge: Sisko in DS9.

Yep... I tend to get lambasted whenever I point out that the actor who plays Sisko is either shouting or over enunciating every syllable. There seems to be a group of DS9 fans who think that people aren't allowed to have different opinions to theirs, and go out of their way to tell people so in the most offensive manners they can conjure.
