Good 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!

Hi All! Newbie posting for the first time for my homework assignment. Any and all feedback is appreciated at the moment (though I’m sure I’ll have more specific questions down the line!).

Hey 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

[slemay]

Being a newbie too I thought it sounded really natural and believable. I would make the last two sentences more like the beginning of your read. Sounds great!

[mcarter]

Thank you both! Really appreciate the feedback

Hi! 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.)

Hey 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!

[Benn Pharr IV]

Thanks so much Thomas! I appreciate the feedback. As I’m practicing, I’ll give your suggestions a try and compare them to the originals.

You hit the key words really well! Great work!

[Cheechman]

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.

[JoyceVOA]

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!

[JoyceVOA]

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

[VoicesByJeff]

Hey everyone! Just did some practice scripts for my latest assignment from my coach. Would love any feedback you have! Thanks!

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.

[Gill]

Hi some more practice scripts, any feedback would be great!

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

[VoicesByJeff]

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!

[Rebekah]

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!

[Gill]

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!

[Rebekah]

Hi Gill,
Thank you so much for your feedback. I will definitely keep those things in mind.

Hello. I would appreciate anyone who can give me performance/acting feedback on my horror narration. Thanks.

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.

[johntells114]

Hey Thomas yea I just did de-clicker/esser and then bass boost equalization. Anyways, thank you so much for your feedback.
