Hey Dillon,
I loved your enthusiasm on the Dominos ad and the political spot, your voice sounds wellsuited for these spots, however I’m hearing too much room reflection and clicks in your mic. Izotopes Voice denoiser is awesome! -

Hello everyone! I’d much appreciate a critique of this audition for performance and audio quality. No slate was requested and I thought this one take covered everything my gut told me to go with. I haven’t been practicing as much as I should so be honest – it’ll light a fire under my b**t. Thanks!

Hi Carynbell, really fun reads- I like your voice and I believe you have talent! I’d suggest working a little on mic technique- try backing away from the mic just an inch or two and speaking off-axis a little bit and see how that sounds. That should help reduce some of the distortion and plosives. The only other thing that stands out is around halfway through your Geico read the recoding seems to get louder, like it’s a part where you cut two different takes together. Again though, really good reads!

Hello everyone on the Edge Studio Feedback Forum. Attached is my First Animation Voiceover Demo Reel that I created with Edge Studios last year. Special thanks to Jay Snyder for his excellent coaching and for helping me create this. I have been auditioning every day for voiceover work with this as my “calling card”, scoring 9 roles. Please feel free to have a listen and tell me what you think about it.
Thanks,

Animation demo – BOOM, right out the gate with your amazing tone in the 1st vignette. After hanging out with you on the AMAs, I wasn’t expecting such a deep, rich voice. Now vignettes 2-5, I was noticing some enunciation issues that made it hard for me to understand what I was listening to right away, but then in 6-8, I felt you were back in the saddle. Number 7 is hilarious! I would maybe make that your #2 instead of the old west, so that your listener hears your acting range right away. Again, it took too long to understand what you were saying in 2-5, and the British accent in 3 could either fit for a very specific character someone is looking for or turn off the listener. If you like it, I’d say maybe switch it with #6 or put it at the end.
June henchman number 3 – I’m not sure which voice was yours. The narrator/main character has some lazy mouth. The Japanese character was great. But because I’m not sure who you were, I’m not sure what to critique.
Isolated Speech – Around the :56 mark, I could hear the editing, which is the bane of my beginner existence. If I remember correctly, you have a disability that you are overcoming, right? So what you are able to do is impressive. I noticed that ‘s’ before ‘t’ as in ‘past’ and the non-sonorous ‘th’ sound in ‘through’ might be difficult for you, as well as the ‘r’ sound. I wonder what you can do to work on that…I would have no idea.
In the end, your tone is great, and your animation reel was very fun to listen to. Keep up the hard work!!

Thank you Michael for your critique of my First Animation Demo Reel! It was fun performing those characters. I put the most effort into my 1st character, with the weapons contracts. Speaking with the British Cockney dialect got rid of my speech problem. I enjoyed making the Mcfatty’s commercial to be funny. I’ll see if I can reorganize my Demo characters. Maybe add another character in my tonal range, perhaps?
In the performance of “Sound Stories June”, I am 1 or 2 Henchmen of the Japanese Yakuza mob. I use my Deeper register to swear, curse, and speak English as well as Japanese. That was me.
I was hired to perform, “The Isolated speech of N”, tired at midnight. As for my performance, yes, I struggle with something and I have lisps and stutters with the S and Th. My R’s are just fine though.
Thanks for the advice and positively honest critique.

Hey all!
Still trying to figure out what type of reads feel the most natural for me voice and personality. Feedback is appreciated!!

I enjoy hearing your voice in this performance. Good background music, giving the listener a feel for the kind of performance you are trying to go for. It sounds like you were cut off from your script sample at the very end though.

Great voice Robert! I would like to hear this read with a little more ‘authority’ and perhaps some changes of inflection throughout.

Hi Marco! I really like the mix of personable and authoritative you’ve achieved here. Your tone and delivery are fantastic for the content. There’s a smidge of echo/background noise and it sounds like a couple of words got cut off… perhaps by a click filter? I only ask because I’ve heard similar on tracks using a click filter. For example, “Crest Pro Hel…” I don’t hear the TH. Overall, you have a super strong sound.

Thank you for your comment. Yes there is some reverb and background noise going on. I didn’t record these in my booth. Had a power surge in the house a few days ago and lost some appliances. So I recorded these out in the open so to speak. Figured for practice scripts it was ok. However, as for the ends of words being cut off, perhaps my editing was a little too aggressive trying to compensate for being outside my booth. Thanks again!
