Hi Rusty,
Many thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Will need to figure out how to convert to MP3 format.
As a “Newby” to this challenging field I am impressed and frankly a bit humbled by all of the reads I have heard! All of you are impressive to my ears!
Brad

Hi, everyone! Here are my latest home recordings. Recorded on my iPad, so not studio quality. I’m also just getting over a sinus infection, so my voice is still a little rough at times. I mostly recorded this to check how my voice sounds for today’s coaching session. Thanks to Throat Coat Tea for helping with my voice while getting over this sinus infection! Thank you to everyone for your feedback!

Hi Catgirl,
I agree with Joel about your jazz read. I do think it would benefit from slowing down just a tad. I liked your haunting tale read.

[Joel]

CatgirlMSU, your third recordings was challenging for sure. In that 21 second recording, you say the word “it” at least five times. While it might seem that that this tiny word would not be so important, but in your recording “it” appears to have greater weight. You might want to see how you are transitioning from phrase to phrase when a word is repeated so often. Documentary on Jazz is wordy too. So, take your time. You have a terrific voice for VO work.

[CatgirlMSU]

Thanks! I was starting to struggle a bit with that last recording due to my sinus infection. Now that my coaching session is out of the way, I can baby my voice for a few days until I get over this.

Brad, you have a natural deep resonance vocal quality. You might want to put a little more energy into your recordings and maybe play and explore with the higher tones in your beautiful voice. I was able to play back your recordings because I am using a MAC (but I am sure any audio program, PC or MAC could open the file), but you might want to try and get an app that will allow you to record in the mp3 format. In addition, it would be helpful if you could name your recordings, so it will make it easier to identify specific recordings.

Hi Brad,
I’m not sure if its the way the file is saved but I’m not able to play your recordings

Hey All,

I have a couple reads here and would love your feedback. Tell me the truth please 🙂

Rusty,
Nice relaxed reads. I like your tone, and emphasis, the pace is good for both. I heard a little buzzing as you spoke but I think that is more audio.

[Gill]

Hi everyone, would appreciate your feedback on my reads, pace, tone, etc… I’m still a-little congested please ignore thanks!

hi Gill I really like your natural sound and tone
be careful with pronunciations because you said medalla like the beer instead of medulla

[rustylj63]

Hi Gill,
Great voice. I completely understand the congestion… I’ve been struggling with it since October. I liked your reads, but I have to ask… did you edit some spacing out of them? It sounds like you are jumping from one phrase to the next with no spaces in a few places. I can definitely hear the smile in your voice! 🙂

[Gill]

Yes, that is my bad editing, I’m working on it thanks for the feedback!

Hello! I have am trying to get back into the game after a long hiatus so I feel like some practice and feedback is necessary. I did one take of this and would like to know what you notice about it! Just looking for performance feedback, I was not in my usual recording spot so please do not mind any audio issues. Thank you and have a great day!

I think your voice matched the script well, but I would watch for pacing ( a little fast ) as well as mouth noise and plosives. You may just have to balance the right distance from the mic as well as staying hydrated.

Maybe also play with a few versions of the “How do you get clean?” I may have not emphasized the “DO” but more on the “you.”

You mentioned that you’re not in your usual recording space, but I thought the environment actually sounded pretty good.

[rustylj63]

I agree with what Curtis said. I wonder if maybe it might benefit from slowing down just a touch. Definitely some mouth noises. Sounded good.

[Wltrcurtis]

I liked the energy of the read. You were pretty clear and well paced. I liked the emphasis at certain parts of the recording. There was a bit of mouth noise but overall good read. Hope this helped.

Hi everyone,

Uploading two scripts for review. I am a but congested in my sinuses, so please ignore that aspect of the recording.

I would love your feedback on these reads! Thank you!

Hi Walter, I agree with Gill’s note about the pace. It sounds too slow I think.

[Gill]

I like your tone, noticed your change in inflection, I think the pace could be a little faster.

[Robertb]

Thank you.

Hello everyone, right now I am considering getting my demos made in the next month. And right now I am wanting to get prepared for what is to come. I have a Commercial and Narration piece out and would consider some feed back if possible regarding my annunciation and celerity in my speaking.

I really liked the energy and character you put into the Ancient Mysteries read. The 9-Planets recording could be slowed down and I think that would improve the pacing. Generally speaking, I think you were pretty clear in both. Hope this helped.

[brendiginette]

Hi Dillon,

The clarity of your speech and the enunciation of words was great. It was very clear and easy to understand.

I loved the personality you brought to the Ancient Mysteries piece. However, it did sound a bit read-y. Maybe sounding more conversational and less robotic would improve the read?

For the 9-Planets script, it might be improved if it sounded more engaging. Again, to my ear it sounded like you were reading it and did not sound natural.

Other than that, great work!
