      Sounds really good. The added crowd effect works but perhaps should be silenced after you mention in the locker there is nothing but silence. Lastly, possibly punch Nike a bit more at the end after the final question. Overall very nice.

      On Cineplex. Good read, you could separate “to it’s” at 0:05 as they bleed together. At 0:18 you could remove much of the pause before “promise career growth”. Good read though.

    And 3rd a scripture narration. One of my issues has been tempo and pacing, so I’m working hard to correct that!

      Good read. Washington at 0:23 sounded a bit different from when you used it at the end. Only other minor critique would be there is a possible change in pitch between some sentences. Almost where you may have taken a breath, cut it out in editing, but the up pitch from a fresh breathe was still there. Again, hardly noticeable.

        Thank you for the constructive feedback! One area I need to work on is my editing and breathing, so definitely very helpful.

      Hi Wes! Your voice is definitely suited for narration. This was a nice read, but I would slow down the pace a bit. Make it a bit more conversational.

      First things first. I know I will be hearing your voice in commercials in the future. You’ve got the raw goods.

      In Nespresso, just about every sentence was a downward side. It made you sound bored. Contrast that with the Downy that had so much more variety and musicality in your delivery, which made you sound fun and friendly. I’d try it again reading the Nespresso with Downy inflections.

      With the Downy, I’d really think about where the pauses are and why. Maybe fewer pauses would help it flow and solidify your friendliness. Also, try ending it with a smile and shrug.

      Your voice is beautiful. Keep up the hard work!

      Hi everyone! I love hearing what you all are working on, I’m gonna sit down and leave some more feedback this afternoon.

      In the meantime I would love any feedback on this In-Show Narration sample I’m considering for my narration demo. I know my vocals aren’t in great shape, but I wonder if my voice suits this copy, and what I could do to improve this read. Thanks in advanced!

Today we’re on the hunt for a bargain to renovate in lake country Wisconsin. This area is all about lake living, with more than 140 lakes in the county, lake country is a booming year round destination for people who love to boat, fish and do just about anything under the sun. Homes in this lake community can sell for more than a million dollars. But our bargain hunters are looking to buy a lakefront home for 450 thousand dollars.”

      Hi Michael! These are great reads. You have clear diction and enunciation, and love how you highlighted key words and maintained a great pace in all of these. My only note would be on “E-learning.” I wish you had a bit more fun with that one like you did with “Travel Guide Video.” While your read was good, warm and relaxed, maybe could have read it a bit more playful since the audience seems to be kids based on the copy. But overall, these were great!
