      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.

    Hello everyone, just posting a take for practice and would appreciate some feedback. Now that we are entering the new year, I plan to put more into recording as much as possible.

      Hi Dillon! The main thing I suggest is that you really focus on diction. “Child” sounds a touch garbled, “20 minutes” sounds like “mints” and “phonics” sounds like “phonx” at 0:14 & 0:22. Also, at the beginning, have a sense of “WOW!” – start YOUR child…in just FOUR WEEKS. Good job!

      Try to smooth out your read. Also, put some emphasis at end on “listen for free” – it’s exciting!

    AMSTEL

    Hey… if life were perfect, magazines would never smell like perfume, dogs would walk themselves, and algebra would actually come in handy. Well, look on the bright side, at least there’s AMSTEL LIGHT. It has only 95 calories, but you still get real imported taste. Who says nothing’s perfect?…Amstel Light.

      Greetings Bil-Bo! You have a nice soothing and deep quality to your voice! It sounds conversational throughout the majority of the read. However, there are certain parts where I think the conversational quality and connection to the reader could be pushed a bit further. For example, when you start off, the “Hey” seemed a bit uncertain. Be sure to have a reason for why your saying what you’re saying from the very beginning. That may help a lot. Also, I’d have to agree with Garprocks, in that emphasis in the name AMSTEL LIGHT seems a bit important as it not only is in all caps, but it’s also the brand name. So, putting emphasis on the brand name usually makes sense. But, overall, great job!

      Hi Bil-BO! Maybe it’s just me, but your initial “Hey…” kind of sounds like uncertainty, in the vein of “Hey uh…”. I also think you need to put more emphasis on AMSTEL LIGHT.
