Haha! Boy can I relate. I was in speech class starting from the time I was four years old to fifth grade when I couldn't take speech anymore. I'm much better than I was then, but still have some problems when it comes to it. I tend to mumble a lot too. I have problems speaking loudly which may have something to do with my sensory issues. I hear my voice louder than others do. Sometimes people have to have me repeat what I'm saying, but after a while they just nod their heads and go along with it.
Sadly there's no easy fix to that. Although you probably already know that. Just try to remember to speak clearly and practice saying your words clearly, record it, then play it back for yourself to try to learn how it sounds coming out of your mouth. I would maybe stick a note somewhere to remind myself of speaking clearly while doing a video. Thankfully, some people are gifted with the awesome ability to understand what you're saying. Which is something I can't believe is even possible.
If you find a portion in the video that you feel may be hard to understand, maybe try sticking the words at the bottom of the screen. (I cannot for the life of me remember what it's called when you do that. I've gone brain dead again.) I doubt you'd have to do it for the whole video, but maybe every now and then if you feel it should have it.
I've also noticed that when you're actually seeing what's happening it can be easier to interpret what someone's saying if it's relevant. Like commenting on something that just happened in the game. Seeing it and hearing it verses just hearing it do make a difference.
I hate it when people tell me to remember to speak clearly, or walk on my heels, (I'm a toe walker. Yup, you read that correctly,) because if I could just always remember that stuff, I would. But they're saying that because it's the only way. Just practice and do your best to remember. And don't worry, I'm sure you'll get better at it. Practice makes perfect. :)
EDIT: Just a quick clarification.
