Thank you in advance!:) -

Hello everyone,
I recorded three narration reads below. I am looking to get some peer feedback on them.
The airline ones are pretty self explanatory but the advance technologies one is an explainer video aimed at on boarding employees.
I am looking for technical feedback tone and pitch etc. Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Posting a few reads for my homework assignment. Feedback on recording, the reads themselves, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Brother – Great voice!
Amex was almost perfect! The ONLY thing I heard was that the first “American” sounded to me like “AmURRican”. Excellent!
On Kathryn Knight, I feel like the read needs smoothed out – it’s kind of choppy (the number one criticism I get). Also, “undeniably” came out as “un-de-niably” – I think there was too much emphasis on that particular word.
The sales training read seems rushed and not as well enunciated. I heard “tothepotential”; “new info along the way” feels bouncy to me; and “entrpreneurs” doesn’t sound right to me.
I can definitely see why you’re getting into this business. Would appreciate return feedback from you.

Esandyii,
I really like the pacing and sincerity of both reads. I am picking up mouth noises and some breathing that are a bit distracting. On glenfiddich listen for the mouth sounds just before the first spoken word. You may want to back off the mic some or reduce the gain some. Staying hydrated and maybe try some apple slices or room temp apple juice to help w the mouth noises. You can silence the breaths in post. Hope your class is going well.

Hi everyone! First time feedback submitter, here 🙂 Please let me know your thoughts on the below samples. I’d love feedback on my tone, tempo, and overall reading. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Hi there! You have a very pleasant voice, but I’m sure you know that already!
On Beginning of first read, “Did you” comes out as “didju” – I particularly notice this because it’s something I have to watch in myself. Overall, you’re a WORM, so I want to hear more fun and/or irreverence in your voice – just the attitude.
The second read sounds forced, like you are really focusing on each syllable of each word. I suggest just reading it to yourself several times and become completely familiar/comfortable with the text, and then make it really smooth and natural – like your natural voice.
Great work!

Thank you so much @garprocks! I appreciate the feedback. Now I hear the “didju” as well and will definitely work on my pronunciation more.

Hey eduke45,
Nice, clean recording. I like your clear articulation. I would suggest on the Nature read, since you are speaking as an earthworm, that you give it a try, visualizing a helpful, articulate, maybe a little goofy earthworm might sound. Have some fun with it.
On both reads try to imagine you are speaking to someone, rather than just delivering some information. Pick out a few operative words that you want to accentuate with tone and/or volume changes.

It’s the weekend and that means another homework assignment. I picked Motel 6 because it can be cheeky so I put a little ‘attitude’ in there. I’m not Tom Bodell (for you youngsters, he was basically THE voice of Motel 6 for what seems like forever. This one was fun 🙂

Marco,
Nice resonant voice, great pacing and attitude ;-). A couple of observations. Breaths distract from the copy. The copy has a lot of S sounds in it, which can sound hissy on playback. Words like Six and Save can sound drawn out. Plosives can sound too loud even when not obviously popping. On the endings of words like hat or dotcom try not to swallow the consonant sound. Lately, I have been editing a lot of my own recordings and I have many of the same small distractions that I can usually clean up in post. I gave yours a once-over and have the file attached.
Keep up the great work.

Pmuller,
You seem to have some ambient sound like a hiss or a low buzz. If you can’t locate the source you can take it out with the noise reduction function in your software. Better to eliminate the sound up front if possible. I ran your file through Audacity and did a noise reduction and manually silenced a couple of spots. Play it and see the difference. Keep on truckin.
Tom
