Hello Swy,

I thought your reads sounded great.

[Gill]

Hi,
I like your dublin read you have good diction, tone and pace. i would just be mindful of your pauses.
Your flow at the end of hersey sounds like you’re getting excited for it but maybe that enthusiasm can be brought to the beginning. i would also be mindful of your pronunciation of idyllic.

[LindsayCampbell]

Hello! A few more longer narration scripts for feedback.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Lindsay,
thanks for sharing these scripts. I think your voice is nice and clear and your pace is good on these reads. I think you could vary your pitch a bit more for interest, and I feel like there may have been some issues with flow on the KinderDance script. It almost sounded like there was a period after “movement” in the second sentence, even though it wasn’t the end of the sentence, and the script could have ended on a more conclusive tone. Hope this can be helpful. you’re doing a great job!

Hello Lindsay. The Children’s Hospital script was presented in a style (pace and tone) that made it easy for me to close my eyes and picture step by step images of what the text was explaining.

You have a great voice, but each sample was pretty fast. I think especially the cool jazz sample should be slowed down emphasis the “cool” in jazz.

Watch out in the “carnation be” I think you were a little hot on the mic or just need to lower your gain as it created distortion.

Also listen for mouth clicks, the NY Life had a few.

Again great voice, just mostly need to take your time.

[IlikeGlen]

Thanks Mikemcgann
Your feedback is very helpful you have a good ear
Because thats what my coach
Told me as well.

[rustylj63]

Hi Glen,

Great voice. A couple of things I heard: in your AMEX read it sounded like you said car instead of card at the beginning. Other than that, your pace is fast. See how it sounds if you slow it down a little. I really think the cool-jazz read could be awesome if you played with the tempo, especially at the beginning. Just late it drag out a little. Just my thoughts…

[Gill]

Hi Glen,

You have a nice strong voice, and you hit client’s names really well. I would be careful with over projecting. Also, your pace is a little too fast so just be mindful of that.

[Bradwinston]

Whoops! Apologies. It was Joel who was kind enough to comment on my recordings. Many thanks for feedback. Brad

[Bradwinston]

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.

[Bradwinston]

Hi folks,
Brad Winston here. Attempting to download 3 audio files recorded from iPhone so kindly forgive recording quality . Would love everyone’s input and advice. Many thanks
Brad

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.

[Gill]

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

[rustylj63]

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!

[svenbot5000]

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.
