Reply To: Feedback Forum

Hey Everyone! I am brand new to all of this and looking for some feedback. I went to a past script reading contest and used the following prompt to make and post my first ever voice recording. I did not read or listen to the winners of this contest as I wanted to have my fresh take on it and get a feel through your feedback if I have decent instincts as to direction. Also, I would love some feedback on my voice in general and if voice acting could be worth pursuing. Please point out any changes in audio quality I need to make if my setup sounds terrible. Thanks for taking the time to listen. The prompt is below.

Voice Direction:
This is a simulated audition for American Life Investment. We want a voice actor who doesn’t sound like a voice actor. We want someone who sounds absolutely real, like a regular person without polished speech, who is charismatic and will prompt a listener to watch our video, without sounding like a spokesperson or a sales person. Feel welcome to ‘warm it up’ and sound spontaneous without straying from the script. This is the first in a series of 18 videos, each between 2 and 11 minutes in length. We use Edge Studio to cast and record.

Script:
There’s no better time than now to take control of your financial situation. Because choices you make today have a direct impact on the quality of your future. That’s why “American Life Investment” brings you this, “My Retirement Planning” video.
