    Hi everyone,

    I hope you all had a wonderful New Years!

    I have attached a practice commercial take, and I would appreciate any feedback 🙂

    Visit Winston-Salem
    Winston-Salem, North Carolina is a city with a rich history of reinventing itself. Here you can wine and dine back in time. Or raise a glass to the future. That’s why you’ll love visiting Winston-Salem. Our past is present. Our future is bright. And our city is yours to explore. Look forward. Travel back to Winston-Salem.

    Thanks so much,
    Arin

      Hi Arin! I think your pace is excellent and your voice very natural. My constructive criticism is that I feel like you used a comma instead of a period after “back in time” and I would suggest that “Look forward” be more of an affirmative statement and having your voice drop on “travel back”, rather than rise up. Have a Blessed day!

    The Gomorrah piece VO is very effective. Pace and tone were perfect. The music overpowered the spot somewhat. Effective pacing on the hockey spots, especially the first one, but again I thought the background was a bit overpowering/ distracting. Nice variation in VO between the two pieces.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to play what’s called a “flam” in drumming, take a listen to this script. Let me know what you think. Thanks,Steve.

      Hi,

      Your reads were really great 🙂

      Motel 6: Your comedic timing was impeccable throughout! One potential suggestion I have would be: Lean into/give a little more emphasis on the first’ Motel 6.’ so listeners know and remember who the commercial is for. Other than that, great job!

      Pizza Hut:: I really felt your excitement and you kept it throughout the take which I thought was great! That being said, one suggestion I have would be to maybe vary the pace of the read, especially in the middle around “the ultimate 2 for 1” and “the mozzarella poppers pizza,” that way you can speed up again when you tell them to hurry before it’s gone. Also not sure if you were looking for any editing suggestions, but I would remove the deep breath at the beginning, as it was a little distracting. Otherwise, great job!

    Hello! I’m uploading these recordings here for feedback before my next coaching session (I actually have another couple I was thinking of recording, but I didn’t have time to do them today)

      Hi Synge,

      I’m really tasting the pineapples on the your Freshii recording!
      Your voice is so inviting.

    Greetings,
    I’ve uploaded a couple recent promos I recorded and mixed for any feedback anyone would like to supply.
    The Gomorrah spot was modeled after a real promo, and I used it for the timing of all my SFX cues.
    It may sound a little busy, but viewed with the video the conception is clear, and any confusion disappears.(I sort of buried ‘Wednesday’in the mix)
    I’ve got two versions of the same Stanley Cup Game 7 spot with different music beds. I’ve got my preference, but thought I’d see what others thought.

      I forgot to mention,I don’t usually record with headphones, but I mix with them, so to assess these in a similar
      state, and to appreciate the lower frequencies that won’t come through on normal laptop speakers, I suggest
      listening to my files with cans on.
