      I 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.

      Betty 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.

    Hello everybody! I’m a newbie looking for some feedback on these scripts. My main focuses are: keeping good pace, avoiding micro pauses, and to not pitch down at the end of every sentence.

    Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated! Thank you community!

      The pacing was really good, however I would recommend a lead-In so it doesn’t sound like you’re just reading it of the page. Great job!

      Great diction and pace.However they both sounded like reads and not conversational.

      VoicesbyJeff,
      Really nice jobs on these reads! Each sounded natural, pace complements each script and you’re clear with your diction. I liked that you changed the phrases of the last script with born instead of born itself. I caught myself being distracted with each word instead of the phrase so nice job on catching that in your variations.

      Both reads were really good. They sounded very clear and natural flowing, especially for 711. You have good inflection that keeps the script alive. I think youre doing great

      These were both really strong! I thought the 711 was the stronger of the two but not by much. Voice clarity, pace and diction were all great. Keep it up!

    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!
