I'm watching season 1 episode 4 and Barney's voice seems very different than the real Mel Blanc one. Sorry, my English isn't great.

Was it still Mel Blanc in that episode?

It was Mel Blanc as Barney there (but in mid-Season 2, Blanc got injured in an auto accident on..Dead Man's Curve (yes, like in the song) and Daws Butler filled in for him.) Speaking of odd 1960s voice trivia, Frank Nelson ("Yessss") not only did that voice of his in that episode ("No Help Wanted",Season 1, Episode 4) as employer Rocky Stone, but earlier as Fred's business golfing "pigeon"/buddy Mr.Boulder with a very credibly different voice.Very funny episode about Barney repossessing Fred's TV set, running with the TV set ion his head into an appliance shop with Mel Blanc as a floorwalker (exactly the same kind of character Frank Nelson played on Jack Benny'
s raido show)..

Yes, Blanc only changed it to the more known voice after his car accident.
