ParticipantYou sound super good! My only note is that there is some background noise, but that can be easily fixed. Great job!

ParticipantYou have a very conversational tone. It was very open, friendly, and youthful.

ParticipantHi Esalguera,
You have a nice vocal approach that highlights what you say. I thought your pace and diction were good and they were both conversational. I liked that you hit Blue but wanted to hear that hit with 0%. You did great hitting everything for Trendi really making it stand out. Nice job!

ParticipantHowdy folks,
Find attached my own very first homework-read, assigned by my coach, and based on the script at https://edgestudio.com/script/amica-life-insurance-4/.
Thanks for your time, attention, and feedback!

ParticipantHi!!!
I love your voice and tone for this read! I would be careful with your diction on some words (Subsidiary kind of sounded like “subsidary” (@ 5 seconds) and policy holders kind of sounded like “Paulsy holders” (@ 20 seconds)).
One thing my coach always tells me is to think about my audience. I love when you emphasize “never” when saying “NEVER invested in real estate….” it really felt like you were trying to convince the listener to trust Amica. I think leaning more into that and really thinking about trying to convince someone to trust Amica while you read would take this already great read to the next level. Keep up the great work!!!!! Hope this made sense!

ParticipantHi Jmacdotorg,
I like your pace for this read, you have a good narrative voice. Something I noticed with your read is the way you pronounced AMICA. I believe its pronounced “Ameeka”not “ah mic a” so I would be careful with pronouncing the client’s name. There are some others words to be mindful of with your diction. Otherwise keep it up!

ParticipantHi Dillon:
These are nice. I would consider more of a transition during the pizza hut one for the different types of thoughts: when you switch to “see kids” and then the tag at the end. Same sort of feedback on the Youth Mentoring one. There’s probably an opportunity to change the tone as you start specifically talking about the mentees. Maybe really imagine them and the relationship you have with them and it will come out in the read.

ParticipantIt’s Chevy Truck Month and time to add the perfect accessories to your new Chevy. Make it bolder and work harder. Make it your own. Find new possibilities….and new roads. Very qualified buyers can get 0 percent financin’ on most Chevy pickup trucks….plus now during Chevy Truck Month get a thousand dollar accessory allowance toward the eligible purchase of a new Chevy truck with accessories. Find new roads at your Chevy dealer.

ParticipantThe background music was a nice touch. I liked that you added the personal touch of “financin'” instead of “financing” to really create the “down home country” appeal for the voice.

ParticipantLove the addition of the music in this Bil-Bo! The only feedback I had was maybe adding a little more excitment and energy during ” Make it bolder and work harder. Make it your own. Find new possibilities”. Other than that, this sounded great

ParticipantI agree with all the feedback already given by ThomasD, and the Barack Obama vibe on the Popeye’s read. The only thing I would add is that you may consider adding some more acoustical treatments to your studio to cut down on that slight echo.

ParticipantHey VoicesByJeff! What I like about all 4 recordings is your voice sounds consistent in each read (like none of them feel affected at all). Popeyes and Ziploc were my top 2 (I got a weird Barack Obama feel from the Popeyes read).
The only feedback I have is during the beginning of the Allstate read “Go Ahead…Make a Wish…”. I wonder how that would sound if the tone were switched up from each phrase, to make it sound like you’re really looking for that person to “make a wish…now speak to an All state agent”.

ParticipantGood reads. I thought the Austism speaks was the stronger of the two. I would just try to put a little more emphasis on “Autism Speaks” when reading. Overall nice job!

ParticipantHey mcarter! You nailed the tone here. Your voice sounds really casual as if you’re talking directly to the audience.
The section with “You can seek top experts…” I thought was a hair too fast, though I liked the change-up of pace that made it sound more natural

ParticipantHi! I recently went through the rigmarole of eliminating a strange staticky almost white noise in the background of my recordings by fiddling with my Blue Yeti settings. Only now, I’m afraid the noise reduction has sacrificed a percentage of “warmth” in the vocals. My ears are tired and wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a cow mooing and a plane crash at the moment. Can anybody lend their wisdom to what my sound setup currently needs? Thank you!
(This is just a quick line to test the sound setup. Please try to ignore any mouth clicks, etc.)Attachments:

ParticipantHey Ben! Great first reads!
Skullcandy: I thought your diction was great and clear here. I wonder how it would sound if you either changed the inflection during some of “meaty” parts in the middle, OR gave them even more room to breathe, to really sell the product.
Vitamix: This was awesome. Felt like you were more warmed up and natural here. The very first sentence is such a long question. I wonder if there’s any way to break that up a little more through pace or dynamics to make it stand out and grab the attention more.
Nice stuff!

ParticipantI thought Betty Crocker lacked sincere emotion, something I have a big problem with, by the way…lol
The best one for me was the movie read.
Very natural and hit the key words great. -

ParticipantBetty Crocker – great read! I thought you sounded warm and inviting. I wanted to hear more about Betty. Some words you over pronounced and woman needed a little more emphasis.
