Should I keep my face on camera with my accent, or go faceless with a polished AI voice?

I'm a solo founder from Ecuador, now based in Vancouver. I built a SaaS platform (ioZen) and I just published my first explainer video in English.

Here's the thing: my English pronunciation is rough. I have a thick Spanish accent. I stumble on some words. But it's me, on camera, explaining my own product.

Now I'm wondering if I should replace it with a faceless screen recording using a polished ElevenLabs voice. Clean, professional, zero accent.

The real question: as a potential customer or fellow founder, which would you trust more?

A) Founder on camera, accent and all. Real person, real story.
B) Faceless with a perfect AI voice. Clean and professional.

Here's the English video so you can judge for yourself:

Please be brutally honest. I'd rather hear the hard truth now than find out later I'm losing people in the first 5 seconds.
