I like your vocal sound for children, very sweet and energetic! The first read was very good. Your audio is a bit thin, could need some blankets or auralex. The second read was a bit rushed and lacked musicality but your voice tone is nice. The third read was a nice piece and also could use a little more musicality, but I’m being critical and overall I thought your sound was good.

Hello again! Thanks as always for your time and ears for listening!
Video Game Commentary – “Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild”
As I’m sitting here on this Main Menu looking at this beautiful artwork, I’m just thinking about how far the video game industry has come. And a lot of you guys know this, but the Legend of Zelda is hands down – by far – my most favorite and treasured video game franchise of all time. And it’s probably because it’s the very first video game I ever played. It kind of set me on my path to being a gamer. -

EDIT: Files were silent. Should be fixed!… sorry! Also, now included are the scripts.
Hello again, everyone! Thanks so much for the comments on my previous post. I have curated several options for my demo and am including some practice I did on them today. I would so appreciate any feedback you could provide on these reads.
Cool, Cool (original)
Who’s that hiding behind the piano? Is it a dog, a mouse, a giraffe, or a cow? Cowabunga! You figured it out! Waaa, waaa, waaa, waaa (sad trombone). Try again.Cod Heads (from Smithsonian magazine)
Pay a winter visit to Norway’s remote Lofoten Islands and it’s impossible to miss the rows of headless fish carcasses hanging from wooden racks to dry. Groups of kids with sharp knives and b****y smocks stood waiting for more cod heads to arrive. The job makes selling Girl Scout cookies or running a lemonade stand look like child’s play.Rogers (from Documentary synopsis)
He gave us the most precious gift of all: the courage to be kind. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? reflects on Fred Rogers’ legacy of kindness, and the profound and lasting effect his innovative approach to television had on millions of children.-
Hi, Kim! I just listened to your reads–you did a great job on all of them! Here are my notes for each:
Cool, Cool: I got the feeling of a kid’s education program from this read. The tone was playful, the “Waaa, waaa, waaa” bit gave a good chuckle, and I felt the sense of curiosity endowed in every word! Fantastic work!
Cod Heads: Personally, I don’t think the read is too fast and there is a satirical undertone, which works well for the copy. The main takeaway is that you drop words that could really use some emphasis (Islands, carcasses, and especially “child’s play”). Think about if a listener in the car or at home watching TV only half-listened to what you were saying. They would miss the specificity of the Lofoten Islands being exactly that. Carcasses will be implied by some listeners when they hear “headless fish,” but what if this was about headless fish dolls or headless fish shirts promoting a movie? You always want the listener to maintain full awareness of your subject even if they don’t fully tune in. For child’s play, it’s about making a strong ending–you don’t want to drop the last words because it drives the final point home in 99% (if not 100%) of scripts. Otherwise, it’s a solid read! Keep working at it! (Bonus points for staying on track even without perfectly following the copy!)
Rogers: A sweet read for sweet copy. Foundationally, it sounds good. You avoid making it sound sappy and it made the message more heartfelt and light. The burning questions I have here are: Who are you speaking to? Why do you want to tell them about Fred Rogers and his kindness? That will make this copy feel more natural as you read. The way you said “kind” felt awkward–almost as if you were stuck deciding between an uplifting, bubbly tone and a sweet, demure (for lack of a better term) tone. Just like with Cod Heads, don’t drop “children” at the end. Who did Fred Rogers’ innovation on television effect? Let your audience know the answer.
Overall, you did a great job! Cool, Cool is in a fantastic spot and the other two are on their way. Your diction is fantastic and I understood every word you said without needing to look at the copy! Your voice is also very clear and captures the moods of each piece!

Good morning. Three very strong reads. I love the playfulness, especially of the trombone, on the first one. The tone for a young audience is perfect. I thought the second read was very fast. The Mr. Rogers piece was very sweet. It hit the right tone without being cloying. Throughout the reads, your diction was impeccable. The recording quality seemed a bit thin to this technically challenged ear. Nice job!

Hello! Thanks for your recordings! You have a very clear, and well- pronounced voice- no hesitation at all. It was really great to listen to!
If I had any particular feedback, it’s actually the reading of your script. They were read in a straightforward manner, with little in the way of fluctuation to certain lines, or emphasis to certain words I feel would really send the message of the recording home.

Thank you TimberTykes for your feedback and recommendations. I will definitely work on those two areas and plan to submit another recording in April.

Hi everybody!
Just practicing some commercial scripts. Feedback is always welcomed!
Thanks!
SNAPPLE:
Attention shoppers:those of you who are over in home improvements, and are looking for Snapple, please be aware, you will NOT find any of Snapple’s assortment of flavors in THAT department. We realize a tasty drink like Snapple Raspberry Iced Tea or Kiwi Strawberry Cocktail would, in fact, be a FINE improvement to any home. But technically, Snapple is a beverage. Therefore, we are left with no choice but to keep it in the beverage aisle. With that said, thanks for your cooperation. And happy shopping, from SNAPPLE.
