      Hi There PMuller, You have such a calming voice. Great job on controlling your breaths between your sentences especially in the Allstate one. The only thing I would say is on What is Spark and Allstate is maybe vision that you are talking to someone you know to help your message connect to your audience a little more. (This is something I too am working on). Loved the energy in your Texicon read, Just make sure that energy flows throughout. Nice job. Thank you for sharing. Have a fantastic Sunday.

      Hi,
      I am new in voice over, but your read sounds clear and concise and the audio sounds like it has a lot of room tone or reverb. Otherwise, I could see hearing your voice on a training videos at a nursing facility. I’m a nurse by trade, I’ve seen my share of videos. Good Luck!

    Hey all!
    I’m new here and looking for some feedback 🙂 Please ignore the quality of recording as I’m not to the home studio step yet, I’m at the “how the h**l do I record on my computer” phase! TIA!!

      Hi Jen, I enjoyed your voice you have such a sweet yet relatable voice. I would just say watch your breaths (I am practicing the same thing, its hard but we will get there) and look to smooth out any choppiness ( I too am working on this). Thank you for sharing. I feel like I am learning so much from everyone on here.

    Hi everyone! Here’s my first post on here, it’s a practice script from the Edge library. I would love any feedback. This was recorded on the voice memo app on my iPhone, so please don’t mind the audio quality! Thanks y’all.

      Good read. I would agree with the previous comment that it is direct and clear and that it could use just a touch more of a smile. It is bright, but maybe imagine that you are speaking one on one with a new employee on her first day at work. I would also avoid “uptalk” as done on the word “factor” because it sometimes has a tendency of making a person sound unsure of their statement. Solid read.

      Hello Chloe! Your voice is nice, direct and clear. I would only suggest trying to smile more so that it comes across in your speech. Great job!

      Hi Erik! I liked the sound of this read. I would recommend on your next read, picture someone in your head that you’re speaking directly to. I think that will help the copy come to life a little more, so to speak. Overall it sounds clean and professional!

    Just testing out scripts for my demo, anything and everything you could have to say is very much appreciated!

    Welcome to Gordon College! This tour begins just outside the tunnel that goes under College Drive near the flagpole. We will tour East campus first, followed by West Campus, and end the tour back here at the tunnel. Periodically, I will ask you to pause the recording so that you can walk to the next point or take a few minutes to independently tour the area. I will always use the word “pause” when you need to pause the recording. And I will always use the word “stop” when you need to stop walking while I continue speaking. This tour is intended to be listened to while walking around campus and does not include tours of any of the buildings. If you are taking this tour on a day when the buildings are open, please feel free to pause the recording and enter the buildings along the way. As you resume listening to the tour, remember to return to the location where you were last when you pressed pause on the recording.

      Hi Andres, I think your voice is a great match for this copy! My recommendation is to slow down a bit, in general. I noticed there were a few series of words that sounded mashed together, and some words that “fell off” at the last syllable. For example “and end the tour back here at the tunnel.” Make sure to enunciate “tunnel.” I think if you take your time and make sure not to rush the copy, these are easy fixes. Overall, nice work!

      Hi Andres,

      I like your voice, and your tone throughout the read is very good. My only criticisms are the first sentence ends with an exclamation point, and I feel like you can add more energy there. Also I noticed breathes thoughout the read, maybe minimize or mute the breathes. Overall good job.

      Dear Andres,
      I liked your voice, I felt a good positive, friendly, helpful and clear sound! If I had to make any criticisms it would be to try upward inflecting more on the ends of your sentences to add vocal variety.

    Good evening,

    This is my first time posting to the forum. Looking for critiques on my two reads attached for my enunciation and pacing. Thank you in advance.

      You have a beautiful strong and clear voice. I would suggest maybe looking at punctuation and where to take breaths to carry a full sentence and idea (I’m working on this too 🙂 Good work!

      You have a clear, young and authoritative sound. I agree with some of the other postings that some of this stuff can seem dry. If I had to criticize anything it would be to give more brightness to your tone and imagine teaching a subject one on one with a student. Otherwise, I liked it!

      Really good reads! In each of them you have genuinely smooth even pacing. You speak clearly and it’s easy to understand what you’re saying. I would maybe suggest giving a little more energy to keep your audience interested, informational pieces can sometimes come across as a little dry.

        Thank you. Adding the energy is something I’m working on. Really appreciate it.
