    Hi everyone! These are for my latest training session and a couple of them are redos(with suggestions from feedback from my last posting)

    Thanks again in advance!

    Fish Boil

    Even people who don’t like fish, have been known to like this fish. That’s why a fish boil is a must-do experience when you visit Door County. It all starts with a blazing bonfire under a
    kettle of salted water. People circle around to warm themselves and take in the crisp smell. When the temperature is just right and the crackle of the fire is just loud enough, the boil master adds a basket of potatoes and onions to the kettle. A few crackles later, the mild whitefish steaks, fresh from Lake Michigan, are delicately lowered in. At just the right moment, kerosene is tossed into the fire, exciting the blaze and causing the water to boil over, dramatically carrying off the fish oil that has collected on top. The fish are pulled out and greeted with a generous drizzling of butter. Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served.

    Texicon Family

    “Hey there new employee, or should we say, new family member. As a member of the Texicon family, we want to formally introduce you to your new home, but not too formal because that’s just not our style. Now you’ve already got your new uniforms and met with our incredible CEO, or head of the family as we like to call him. Now it’s time for me to bring you up to speed on what your days are going to be filled in with. Make sure you grab some of the complimentary cake you have in front of you, we love cake here so you’re going to have to get used to that, and see what the rest of your time at the Texicon household has in store for you!”

    Jerry Seinfeld

    The move to New York meant returning to his roots for Seinfeld, who was born April 29, 1954, in Brooklyn and raised in the Long Island town of Massapequa (which he has always joked was an old Indian name meaning “by the mall”). After graduating from Queens College, Seinfeld appeared at New York comedy spots while supporting himself with odd jobs, including selling lightbulbs over the phone and waiting tables at Brew and Burger. As his act grew more polished, he honed the wry observational style that was to become his trademark.

    Educational Explainer Video Intro Only – Real Estate

    Would you like to buy a house?
    Maybe it’s your first house, or even your 2nd and you just think that MAYBE you didn’t think hard enough about the last one.
    Listen, I love Real Estate. And in most cases, even a bad deal can work to your advantage in the very long run.
    But there are dumb things that people do without realizing it when they buy a house.
    Humor me for a short story before we get into the meat of this video.

    Forgot one:
    Assassins Creed

    For 20 years, after the Assassins defeated the Templars in London, the city enjoyed a certain peace, until the autumn of Terror in 1888.
    London is plunged into shadow and fear, by a series of gruesome and unsolvable murders. The Brothels of White Chapel seem warm and safe by
    comparison to its streets, where prostitutes are being mutilated and being left on grotesque display for the world to ogle.
    Jacob Frye hunts the elusive killer to bring an end to the Terror of Jack the Ripper.

    Beringer Wine
    Some might choose a lecture or documentary film to tell the story of 125 years of winemaking. We prefer a glass. At Beringer, we are proud to be the only winery
    ever to win Wine Spectator’s “Number 1 Wine of the Year” for both a cabernet & a chardonnay. But our greatest achievement lies in knowing that everything we’ve learned is your to enjoy…each time you pour a glass of our wine. Beringer…All we are in every bottle

      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!

      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!
