Does having audio narration help learn origami designs?

Question

If your watching an instructional video on how to fold origami designs, does it help to have a narrator reinforce verbally the folds as you see them?

My feedback elsewhere is "yes" but I thought I'd ask here... Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

I learn origami from the drawings, but when I teach it to others I find that they want spoken instructions.
So, for beginners it, most likely, helps.
For people who have done some origami it is likely not needed.
And if the voice is irritating it is bad.

Whatever you do, expect people to turn of the sound, as they do listen to other things while watching the video.
So do not rely of the spoken instructions.
And please, do not use music as well as spoken instructions, as most people will have a different taste in music.

Answer 2

Well, years ago, I lived in Japan as a Navy brat. We had a Japanese instructor come to our classroom 3 times a week and learned some language, arts, and crafts. Of course, there was oragami (both folding and cutting). The teacher would explain to us step by step on what to do. There was a book to follow also. I know this isn't "audio narration" but it helped to have both.
