The Edge Studio Feedback Forum is the best place for you to post a recording and get feedback from the community! Record in your home studio, upload the file, and see what people think. This is a great place to get some advice on your technique, on your home studio, or to ask for people’s opinion on your reads. Remember, that this is a community forum, so please remain positive and encourage your peers in helpful ways. If Edge Studio feels that a user is too negative, or antagonizing other members of the community, they will have their posts deleted, and risk being banned from further communication.
Stay positive, listen to each other, and have fun!

Hello everyone! I’m new to the forum and looking for general feedback. Actually I’m new to VO. I am pursuing commercial VO. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Welcome Joyce,
You have a lovely voice. I agree with nicolance your read is coming across in an announcement way but you read both scripts clearly which is a positive. Your second recording once again started off in that announcement read so that would be a good place to start by switching to a more conversational read. -
Hi Joyce – have you taken any voice over classes, training or coaching? You sounded too much like an announcer reading from a script; most voice over work today requires a conversational and realistic tone, rather than the old announcer sound. Coaching and training will help with that. You do have a lovely voice, though I detected a bit of an accent (perhaps the Carolinas?) at times that seemed out of place. Keep at it, and good luck – Lance

Hi Joyce, something I struggled with (and still do at times) is sounding more like I’m having a conversation with someone instead of like I’m telling a whole room full of people. Think about someone you’d naturally tell about Dove SS and then try to just have a conversation with them. See if that helps.

Hi Todd – both very nice reads. You have a good strong voice and sound sincere and believable. . . I suggest you see if you can find the beginning, middle and end of the Calloway piece, so that when you get to Callaway at the end, it is the solution to the problem – I think it will be a stronger read. As for Hawaii, I was drawn in and followed every word like you were talking to me. You varied your tone, and did a great job with that long list. Keep it up – Lance

Hello! I’ve attached two scripts that I’m using to practice for my Narrative demo: one for adult e-learning and the other is more biography/documentary. Would love some feedback. Thank you!

Hi AJS, I think your voice sounds great. I’m not sure if its the sound quality of if you’ve got a bit of vocal fry going on, but I’ve been told vocal fry can be a bad thing. Just what I’ve heard. I’m working towards my narration demo as well and one thing I’ve been told a couple of times is that we should let the narration “breath” more. I had a habit of rushing through my reads. Once I started slowing down, giving some space and pausing a bit, it started to sound much better. As good as your voice is, I’d bet that if you slowed your tempo just a bit, the reads would sound even better.
