As so many of us in here are getting are demos ready, please give me a hand and I will do the same for you if you would please take a listen to a couple of reads I borrowed from from the Edge script library
Strong read on Amelia Earhart, though it possibly sounded a little too cheerful as well. It seems you have a happy sounding voice based upon the other comment!
Hi! As far as the house with nobody in it goes, I like this.the middle part is particularly strong. I may have though the end was possibly a little too cheerful sounding for the meaning I interpreted.
Hello Ray,
You have a clear tone with good pacing but I would like to see a little more energy in your reads. Maybe a little brighter tone to add to your already friendly read. Thank you for letting me review your work. Please feel free to review mine as well, thank you Ray
I am uploading a few things that I have worked on over the past few weeks. Would love to get your feedback as I am looking to record my demo in the near future.
Hi y’all! I would appreciate any feedback on this virtual campus tour video copy I’m considering for my narration demo. What could I do to improve this read? Thanks in advanced for listening!

“The Rutgers New Brunswick Campus, on the banks of the Raritan river, is located in Central New Jersey. One hour from New York City, Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore and Ski Resorts! The 22,00 acre Rutgers Community includes 5 residential campuses with a variety of settings, from Farmland, to a traditional northeastern college setting with historic ivy covered stone halls. Students enjoy green lawns, campus quads, and vibrant student centers. plus, a college town with boutiques, shops, four-star restaurants, hotels, and a theater district just a short walk away.”
I like how friendly you sound in your read and you speak really well, I understood everything you said. For improvement you could speed up the read a little bit and maybe be talking to someone like you are giving a tour to potential students and you’re excited to share information about the campus. Hope this helps!
HI Roman,
I like your friendly tone and clear diction on all your reads! If I had to criticize anything assuming we are not being too critical on the actual audio, I would say your levels on the 1st two reads were still low and you could use a little more guy next door in your flow and musicality. Good luck to you and never stop getting better!
Hi Jae,
I agree with everything Chloe said lol, but I do want to say your voice has certain lively clarity that makes me want to listen, so keep at it and you’re on your way to awesome instructional reads
Nice reads! I enjoyed listening. You have a voice that really suits the copy you chose. For “Making Candy,” you sound really clear and well-paced. I would pay attention to the pitch at the end of each sentence – you’re pitching down a lot. If you vary the end pitch, it will sound more attention grabbing.
For Tesla, I loved this read. I would slow down though, I noticed some words run into each other. Since it’s instructional you want the listener to really hear and process each word you’re saying so they don’t have to listen a second time.
For Creating a New E-mail, this is longer copy, but take your time reading it and don’t rush it. I would also recommend vary the pitches a little as well. Your voice really sounds great with this copy though! Very nice read.
Here are two pieces of homework, any feedback would be appreciated.
Ace Brand: Ace Brand Lawn and Garden Supplies are made with a satisfaction guarantee. Because all the talk in the world doesn’t matter if you can’t back it up. Ace Brand.
Special K Red Berries: Putting strawberries in cereal wasn’t our idea. Putting them in the box was. With slices of real strawberries and crunchy sweet flakes, looking good never tasted so good. Special K Red Berries.
Hi Kendall! I liked how in both of your reads, you do a really good job of varying pitch in each sentence so they kept my attention throughout. My main tip would be to slow down and focus on enunciating each and every word. For example, to my ear, the words “lawn and garden supplies” blended together. Same with the opening line for special k “putting strawberries.” Overall, great energy in both!
Hey Yall!
Posting some HWs for narration. Would really appreciate any kind of feedback or comments yall have!
Thanks,
Max

Hi Max! These are sooo good and clean! I love your voice. On “Business Software,” my suggestion would be to read the second half a bit warmer. The read felt cold here.
Thanks so much for your kinds words and feedback! After re-listening again I totally hear what you’re talking about needing more warmth. I’ll keep that in mind moving forward.
Hi Everyone,
These are my two practice scripts. Would love any feedback on them. Thank you in advance. >ER
In This House
In this house
There is no mess
No gossiping, nothing negative, and definitely no stress
Never mind what happened in the past
Putting focus there only makes it last
In this house we ONLY dream
It’s why we make the perfect team
Only speak of all the good to come
Move to the beat of Our own drums
In this house it’s just like me
We practice the dreams we desire to be
Now in this house the things you see
Are all the dreams that were in ME.
Cosmos

There must be many such worlds scattered through space, but our search for them begins here, with the accumulated wisdom of the men and women of our species, acquired at great cost, over a million years.
