    Hello all,
    I am an aspiring voice-over actress. This is my assignment for my 3rd private session. THis time I wanted to have a little fun with the Air Jamaica script and no, I am not a Jamaican native. Keep in mind I have been MIA for about 5 months as you offer your appreciated feedback. Let me know what you all think.

      Hey Rebekah,

      Your accent for Air Jamaica was pretty good. I had a good laugh as you stated you’re not native to the island. My only suggestion would be to add a little more energy and excitement to your delivery. Good job!

      Hi Rebekah,
      Air Jamaica:You did a nice job making me feel like I was going to Jamaica. If you didn’t mention it I would have said you sounded native. I think your pace is good for this read because anything faster with the accent would have probably made it harder to understand. Your diction was also clear. The only thing I would say about this is to make sure you continuously stay in the accent as I hear it dropped a few times.
      Motivational-Informercial: I like that you made this your own, for this read I would be mindful of your diction with research, your pace is good.
      National Gallery of Art: I liked your energy for this read and pace. I would be careful with some of the pronunciations with this read like Picasso sounded like Pocasso, nice job overall!

      Hey Johntells114! What effects are you using here? It sounds like your using a small bit of some sort of octave distortion? Either way I think it’s perfect as it’s not too much or too little.

      One thing I would like to hear differently is maybe switching up the tone on some words (similar to how you said “Stop It!”). Reason being is that I wonder if the you can play with tension a little more throughout to keep the horror/suspense there.

    Hi All,

    Another practice read for narration. I recorded on my mac so the tone is a bit hollow. I would love to get any feedback you might have. Thank you in advance!!

      Very nice flow. I thought your voice had the right tone and was consistent.

      Very engaging voice Jeff! Very expressive, especially towards the end. If I had to dig deep to find constructive feedback, I would say maybe bring some more of that expression in towards the beginning as well. Excellent read.

      Would recommend checking which words to hilite in the script.
      I thought some that were hilited should not have been so much and some should have been more.
      Great voice!

      This was an excellent read! You sounded relaxed and very clear. I think you can up the energy and emotion just a little.

    Ok, this is my first time doing this so would love to get some feedback. I did it off my phone so its not going to be the best recording. I would love to hear any advice on speed, clarity, etc. THANKS!

      Hi again Slemay. On your second read foe Nike again super good job for a first time for you! I would say for me there is just a little too long of these micro pauses between phases and I feel you could even add just a little more excitement. Such a good job though for being so new to this! Keep it up!

      Hi Slemay. Great job for your first time!! I would say that it does sound a little to me like you are reading in some parts,also you can probably vary your list more (when listing the attributes of the vehicle). Keep up the good work!

    #78110 Elise I thought your energy was really good on the Space camp read and you made me want to visit the location with your enthusiasm.

      You have a really nice texture to you voice! I think you can up the energy to make your voice more full and more emotion to compel the listeners. Overall a great read!

      Hi again decofcards. On your second read I would say just slow it down just a bit and maybe just a little more expression. Again you have such a soothing voice quality. Keep up the good work!

      Great job decofcards! You have a wonderful and smooth voice quality which I really like. I belive you could also vary you list a little on the list of the chevy’s attributes. I would say maybe just a sight more excitement too throughout. Really nice though! Especially considering how new you are to this!

      Lindsay,
      You have such a pleasant voice that pairs very well with each of these reads. Each read kept me engaged and your pace is great! I liked your variations for advance technology, and how medically versed you were with atrial fib, and how you changed inflections on trex. Cynerio had a few pauses in it that made me feel like I was waiting for the next thing. Overall nice job and good luck on your record session!

      Lindsay I thought your pronunciation was great on the Advance Technologies read and you had a warm friendly tone. I am very new at this but felt the connection to the read.

      Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your very kind comments below, I appreciate the encouragement! I like your reads as well. Your pacing is very good and you have a very calm tone. I would caution you, however, to make sure you finish out certain words. I have the same tendency and my coach has worked with me quite a bit on it. Specifically, don’t drop the “t’s and d’s” at the end of words like important and world. Have fun at your demo record session!!

      Hey Jeff- congrats on your demo! How fun! Mine is coming up too and I am so excited. You and I chose the same practice script today! I like both of your reads tremendously- I thought they were great. I could listen to your voice all day!
