ParticipantHi Ilene. You definitely nailed the Disney read. Nice Job. FOr the Starlight I would just work on the flow to smooth it out little. (which is something I am working on as well). 🙂

ParticipantHi, everyone ~
Second time posting and greatly appreciate the help! Looking for feedback on voice, pace, inflection, authenticity rather than recording quality, e.g. gain, hearing breathes, etc.
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and provide comments!

ParticipantHi Joe! Your diction is great, my one thought that jumped out, is it felt like you were giving the same read for all 3 scripts, and they could have pretty different approaches. I’d love to hear these with some variation in your cadence and enthusiasm…feedback I’ve received as well! It’s hard for me, personally.

ParticipantVery cool having command of two languages. Just going to comment on the first Johnson’s spot. The product name sounds a little like bet-time vs bedtime. It also sounds like you might be talking to a child vs the Mom.

ParticipantWelcome,
For me,the Seuss read was perfectly suited to your voice. I really enjoy the tone. The Ulta spot felt like listening to you read and not emote. Once again, welcome 🙂-

ParticipantThank you! Much appreciated. I can hear that on Ulta too. I’ll keep it in mind 🙂

ParticipantVery nice! Somewhat of a unique signature voice. Natural, smooth and conversational delivery. I had to work really hard to find something to pick at.
If I were a producer here, I would want a few more takes of the last line. “Insurance for-the-modern world”. For me, for-the-modern, is a bit of a soft, fast grouping and runs together.Echoing Ashley: “You’d have, like, a ton of dollars” sounds very natural and conversational.
The gap between “like…” and “a ton of dollars” really legit sounds like someone trying to figure out what to say.(which I believe it’s supposed to). -

ParticipantOh boy! Very natural and calm. Your inflections are great, and you emote in a way that makes it very clear the feelings you are trying to convey.

ParticipantFor a second I thought I had to listen to an ad before hearing your recording, but it turned out it was just your recording!
“You’d have, like, a ton of dollars” sounds very natural and conversational.
I liked the way you chose to deliver the word, “um.” You didn’t over-act on it. Again, very natural sounding.

Evolution at Bayer
We live in an unprecedented time. Beijing’s remarkable transformation is the perfect example of dramatic worldwide progress.
We are also living in the year of the dragon. This powerful symbol represents optimism, entrepreneurship, and the drive for something new.
In 2005, Bayer Consumer Care boldly acquired Roche, which transformed our company into a global contender at a time when pharma growth rates were higher than OTC. China, Russia and Brazil were not even in the top 10.Nuclear
“Your attention please. This is an emergency message. This is not a drill. This is a warning that multiple reactors within the facility have been compromised. We repeat, multiple reactors have been compromised. The facility must be evacuated immediately as a lockdown is now in place. Will all workers make their way to the nearest emergency exit. Please leave all your belongings where they are and make your way to the exits immediately. This is not a drill.”Attachments:

ParticipantI would probably buy ice from you during a snowstorm, but I LOVED the nuclear read. It was a perfect balance of urgent and professional.

ParticipantYou have such a credible sound in both recordings. I felt engaged while listening to both, especially the nuclear recording.

ParticipantI enjoyed your interpretation of the Nuclear script. Nice sense of urgency. As for the Bayer spot it felt you found your voice late in the read. You’ve got a wonderful sound. Love your accent.

ParticipantGlen, welcome to the forum and getting into this. I like the voice, it fits and you have good inflections. Recommend you check the gain as you may be clipping. Normalize to -3db with your DAW as it’s coming out pretty high. There are some breaths where you could dial down the amplitude in editing or possibly remove some of the more apparent pre-breathes like at 29.5 seconds.

ParticipantHi Rbenes,
Thank you for the quick feedback especially when you said it fit,that means so much. thanks as well for the -3dp tip because I was stuck on doing it at -1dp
When I get back to home studio I will adjust it.
Thanks again I wish you much success with your voice acting career
