ParticipantHello everyone! This is my first time posting. I’ve just started coaching in narration, and part of my homework is to post here. I would appreciate some feedback!

ParticipantHi Lauren. I enjoyed all of your reads. It almost sounded like different people. I thought your pace and tone was very good. I heard a few pauses that could have been shorter but you did really well with the non-english words. Your energy was good all the way through.

ParticipantHi Lauren, You have such a great voice. I enjoyed all three of your reads. Cosmos was my favorite because I love the feeling you put into it all throughout. It flowed nicely. Just watch out for some of the words getting lost in the airy whispering parts if that makes sense. (I too am working on this). Sanjo was great as well, I loved the flow when you first started, however I noticed that you sped up a little towards the middle but overall it was a really good read. I enjoyed all three. Nice work!

ParticipantHi everyone,
I’m working on my narration demo and on accent reduction, aiming for SAE. It would be awesome if you could listen to this piece and tell me what you think my home state is. Any feedback on performance is greatly appreciated as well 🙂
The script is for a short video about beavers.
Thank you!
Lumberjack, surveyor, builder, engineer. It’s all in a day’s work for a b****r. They’ve got the tools and the know-how to create a brand new ecosystem – one log at a time. When they build, everyone shares the reward. A b****r pond is a wildlife magnet. It’s the place to find a mate and raise a family; to hunt; or to fight for survival. In the centre of the action, the engineer keeps the whole thing running. Building a dam, that’s just part of the job. These guys will face down predators, voyage into the unknown, and battle the full force of nature. All to create their little slice of paradise.

ParticipantHello everyone! Just looking to get some creative feedback on these two pieces. I am not working from a professional studio, so NO technical feedback, please. Thank you!

ParticipantHi Nisha, nice! I liked both of your reads, especially Nature’s Recyclers. I could feel the energy in your voice. In Motivation-Meditation, I liked how you varied the tempo, but I think you went a bit too high in pitch after “As you feel scared.” You could take out the pauses before “akin to” and “so far” and maybe you could make the last sentence sound friendlier.

ParticipantBecause its been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted here I thought I’d drop a couple more recordings for y’all to beat me up with. Please disregard any background noise or echo, I’m not in my studio. Thanks!

ParticipantHi rustylj, I think your voice is great for both pieces, but I feel like you’re a bit too serious in both, especially in Hungary’s Food Scene. Maybe try to add a smile and see if that lightens up the tone a bit? Imagine that you’re talking to a friend and telling them a fun fact about Hungary.

ParticipantHi Joyce, I think you Macy’s read had fairly good tempo, but as others have said, it came across a bit like an announcer. Imagine you were telling your daughter about this… have a conversation with her.

ParticipantHi Joyce! Great tone and super natural on your Macys read. I think I could use a little more differentiation or build on the list of sales/ percentages. could just be the way my brain works but I tend to glaze over when numbers get involved. keeping the energy up or ramping up may help!

ParticipantWelcome 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. -

ParticipantHi 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

ParticipantHi 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.

ParticipantHi Joyce – about half way thru this one there were technical issues, perhaps some issues with editing? I do not know if you heard this too? Lance
