Hi everyone!

Looking for suggestions on app/website you use for background music on your demos?

Thanks a million!

[Robertb]

Lawszvoice,

If you have time could you listen to my recordings? I was able to convert them to mp3 recently. Any feedback is welcomed.

[Lawszvoice]

Robert, That was so worth the wait. You have a wonderful narrative voice, descriptive, knowledgeable, well done! Your script choices match your voice.

I live in Connecticut and know the exact buildings you were describing on the Yale tour.

I can hear your voice on a History Channel Documentary. Glad you had fun with the volcano read. Could hear your smile and personality. Your voice is deep and calming so have fun with the pace and the phases you choose to emphasize because it brings the listener along on the adventure.

Hi Robert,
I don’t see any recordings here. Sorry

[Robertb]

I was able to finally upload after I got a file converter link from the education department. Would love any feedback you could give me.

Congratulations, you just bought Allstate Homeowners Insurance. And now, if your home or property suffers a covered loss or is damaged, you’ll be covered, and that’s a good feeling. However there are some things that can’t be replaced, so that’s why it’s important to prevent these damages from occurring in the first place. Here, you’ll learn what steps you can take to make your home safe and secure.

Great read, conversational, confident, and trustworthy.

[Ryan D.]

Hay Max, your demo is nice and clear. Good enunciation too. IMHO, you might try a little more emotion, but over all, pretty d**n good!

[maxspitz]

Ryan, thanks so much for the feedback! I appreciate it and I’ll work on emoting more next time.

The building managers are reading. The speed was high for me, I missed some instructions. Imagine that you are in a structure and that you cannot leave within your responsibilities until everyone else is eligible. Trying to carry commands by force, with the need to move in silence. The real goal is honest and concise. You want people to get a route so you can leave. https://ometv.uk/

Hello again! I have another piece in both English and Spanish: a quick call to vote in Maricopa County. They’ve asked for a Latino voice in English with perfect Spanish delivery. I tried to slow down on the English version as per previous feedback, but the Spanish version has more words to it even as it’s an adaptation of the English piece.

Your feedback is truly and greatly appreciated.

Hi
Very nice delivery… I thought it was done and then out of nowhere i heard more. I wouldn’t leave such a gap.. I agree with Robert it sounds professional and you gave good energy.

[Robertb]

I enjoyed your delivery very much. The political ad sounds professional, like some I have heard on the radio. The energy is positive and engaging. Sorry I don’t speak Spanish, but that had a great flow.

[gmedrano]

Thank you, Robert! I appreciate your feedback

Hello all,

I’m looking for feedback on this cartoon character demo: “Octopus Baby.” Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

Regards,
Elizabeth

Fun character read. I like the transition from tantrum/jealously to then bragging about all that you can do with eight arms. I did hear hints of your natural voice when the high pitch dropped which changed the texture and lost the baby at times. Cudos on a character voice!

[Robertb]

Hi Elizabeth. I loved the sound of that character. I don’t have any issues with it. There is a brightness and energy that is fun.

[Earthbul]

Quick question, any suggestions on a good site for youtube to mp3 conversions. Looking for good options for sound effects. Thanks.

[Ryan D.]

Hi everyone! I’m uploading a couple of recordings I would like feedback on, especially as I had trouble getting any feedback last time. Thank you for any help your willing to give!

Hey iSynge,
Nice demos. Ottos was spot on and clean. Lenders had good enunciation, but I didn’t buy your voice as New Yorker 😉 Also, Lenders was pretty noisy at the beginning. Good luck

[Robertb]

Hi iSynge,

First of all, I like what I hear regarding the tone of your voice and your diction.

Regarding the Ottos piece the one thing I might suggest is that with the initial part you might dig into the frustration a little bit so it contrasts more with the satisfaction you feel after the experience of working with Ottos.

My thoughts about Lenders is similar, in that I would like to hear a little more NY attitude/confidence when you say that as a NY’er you know about bagels.

I hope this helps. I didn’t hear major problems at all.

[iSynge]

Thank you for the feedback!

I will say regarding the Lenders one that I was actually second-guessing myself a little, because despite the content of the script…I’m not actually a New Yorker? So it was a little awkward to think about.

I did want to ask about something I’ve been hearing a lot about from my coach recently – did it sound like I was ‘reading’ too much, rather than talking? I’m trying to work on that.

[Robertb]

I didn’t have the feeling that you were reading it as I listened.

[Wes@1972]

Hey guys, just posting my homework! An area of improvement for me has been editing, so I’m hoping it sounds great! Any feedback is welcome! Thanks, Wes

Hi Wes,

You certainly have a voice that can do this work. Your diction is good, and I think these are good pieces to work on. The one thing I would say is that you should have more fun as you read. I’d like to hear more variety from you. My coach gave me two pointers that I hope might help you.

1. A specific actor is a booking actor. ~ I would suggest working more contrasts into the readings. What excites or moves you more than another part? Who are you talking to, and when are you speaking to them?

2. Please think of the script as a short story with a beginning/middle/end. Look for the “beats” in the copy. ~ feel free to make this into a mini performance.

Keep looking up! I hope this helps.

[Wes@1972]

Hi Robert, and thank you so much for the encouragement and the constructive criticism. I’m going to keep working hard.

These are great tips you shared!

[chennianen]

Your reading is clear and precise! I think there could be more variation in the way you read sentences, however. It sounded like it was bordering on a monotone voice. But, I like it so far!

[Wes@1972]

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll keep this in mind as a press forward!
