This is a good audio, good pace, relatively upbeat. You have just a bit of mouth noise but that can be reduced. Check out Waves plugins. Particularly, the Waves NS (noise suppression) and the Waves DeEsser.

Your voice is almost musical! 🙂 Good pace, good pitch. One minor thing… On the grammarly script the word ‘meet’ disappears… You seem to rush through that. Beyond that, I would not change a thing.

Hey gang. Wanted to post something to see if my audio stack is up to the task. This is a clip where the first part is dry, straight from the mic. It is then repeated with R10 De-click, De-Noise, and ProEQ3, all in Studio One 6.5 (not the Pro version).

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

Hi! You have a very bright and positive tone with this, which I think is right direction for it. I think it could be a more conversational(you had a fabulous conversational part at the “no promises on less mess but definitely…” section try bringing in more of that) if you don’t already have someone specific you are telling about this. One other thing, there is a lot of this vs that in this script, play with those differences more. Good job!

Hi everyone! I’m new on here, and to voiceover, and would appreciate any feedback at all you could give me please, as I am putting together my first narration demo. No technical though please as these were recorded on my phone 🙂

Thanks in advance 🙂

These sound great! I’d say the Seinfeld sounded a bit rushed, like maybe it was the first one you recorded and you were nervous about it, but not so much that didn’t still flow well. In the Amelia Earhart one, the inflection on “pioneering pilot” just sounded a little flat compared to the lovely lilt the rest of the sample had. Overall, though, seriously good work!

[Kay165]

Thanks so much Treva! Really appreciate your comments and time 🙂

[Karen Maria]

Hi everyone, first-timer here looking for some creative feedback (no technical notes, pls) as I learn and practice. How are things with my pace/cadence, tone, does it sound authentic/conversational enough? Is the read smooth or choppy? Looking forward to your thoughts, thanks in advance.

-Nice pace, I would just slow down that first word, maybe give yourself a lead in to start.
AGI
-Lovely tone! I think you could have a bigger tone shift between the stated problem in the first line and then going into the solution.
Dovato
– you have a nice empathetic voice here, keep the empathy and add some more brightness to it, you are giving someone something that could really improve their quality of life. The end is a little choppy.
Loreol
– I think your tone and pace are good here I think it just needs to be a bit more conversational. Try to have a very specific person in mind who you are talking to and telling about this awesome new mascara you just started using.

Overall good job!

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.

This is a solid read! I agree with what Brian said above about the pauses, and I’d add that it could use a little more “excitement”. The direction notes say they want a “charismatic” read that will get people to watch the next video, so a little more energy wouldn’t be amiss here. Well done!

[Brian Lakes]

Hi Shay. Nice voice! When you are reading a script make sure your cadence is smooth and you are not adding comma’s to the script where there are none. In the first part of the first sentence you have a pause in between “No” and “Better”, same thing with “Control” and “Of”. On the next sentence the word “Because” is rushed more than the rest of the sentence. (This is something I have been working on as I tend to do this too). Your audio quality and setup sounds good! Keep it up!
