I’m working on material for my demo and need some input on how believable, relaxed and comfortable I sound. Is my diction clear enough, and do I enunciate so that all my words can be heard? Thanks for taking the time to give me some constructive feedback.

Trying one more time since the Upstart one is a bit distorted now (seems to have happened after reducing the file size – hence I’m not familiar with the tech yet) 🙂 Hopefully this one works!

Looks like the third read didn’t upload with my post so adding again here, thanks!

Hi everyone, for these practice reads I’m focused on narrative corporate video scripts. Any feedback on technique is much appreciated (pace, achieving a conversational tone, etc, or anything you have comments on; apart from tech since I have yet to dig into good mics and editing :)! I would also be curious which of these folks like best overall. Thank you!

Any thoughts ?

I like your pacing and your tone, but your voice sounds a little too “whispery” to be convincing that you’re a political pundit trying to get me to shift the way I approach my politics this election season. Great voice though!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday!

Here are some new takes I did today. I kept blurring “or vinegar” on my takes for Promist, so please let me know if those words are clear in this recording. Any other advice is really helpful!

I appreciate everyone of you who has commented and given advice on my previous posts! Thank you so much!

You’re voice and recording quality are top notch. Vinegar was just fine on Promist. While I really enjoyed both reads I felt that if the pace was a just a little quicker on the JC Penny spot it would make it a billion times better. Keep up the awesome work.

Hello all! I don’t have an at home studio so please bear with my audio quality… I am currently working on my diction, keeping a slower pace, watching my “up-talking,” and making sure I don’t sound choppy. I uploaded two of the same scripts for comparison. Any and all comments are welcome, thank you everyone!

Hi Jillian!

Your pronunciation is very well done! Everything sounded very crisp and clear in both recordings, though the sound quality was not as good as the final.

I do think I like take 5 more than the final though. It is just a smidge faster, but it comes across as more natural and conversational, whereas the final might be a tad too slow, making it sound more like you’re reading the script. I do also think ADD should be sped up a bit, as right now, while I can hear it very clearly, so much emphasis is put on it that I only remember ADD rather than what the message is trying to get across about it.

I hope this helps, and keep up the good work!

Hi,

Let’s try this again.

Hi Mike!

Welcome to the edge forum! Hope we can help you give tips and advice to better your voice! It’s nice to have you.

You have a very knowledgeable-sounding voice, which I think lends itself nicely to this piece. However, a lot of your tone stays in the same range, making it more noticeable that you’re reading a piece. I would start with trying to give slight adjustments to your tone by envisioning telling this to someone. When you ask the question, try to think of a memory when you were in a frustrated position, asking yourself “how do I get out of this?” and when you reveal to the listener the solution, remember that relief of when you finally had your problem solved.

I hope this helps!

[Jillian Sclafani]

What a great voice!! I would say to maybe work on your diction as some of the words get a little lost, and pause a little less between words within sentences so there is a better flow. Other than that, you sound awesome!

[Mike Koziol]

Hi all,

New to the forum and my first submission. Look forward to any and all feedback. Thanks

[Earthbul]

Another recording from the backseat. Getting a at875r shotgun for Christmas. Looking forward to trying it out. Anyone else use this particular mic ?

You absolutely cannot tell that this was recorded in a car. You sound fantastic! Keep up the awesome work!
