    Hello everybody. Below is a commercial practice read I worked on. Please feel free to provide feedback on performance and recording quality.
    Thank you.

    Your Smile

    Your smile says a lot about you. If you let it. When you’re uncomfortable about your teeth, it’s easy to hold back your smile. Invisalign’s advanced technology now lets you straighten your teeth invisibly – so you can express yourself fully. And because they’re invisible, no one has to know about it. Hundreds of thousands of people already have discovered Invisalign. Maybe it’s time you were one of them.

      I really liked the pace and tone; it sounds like a voice I would hear on an Invisalign infomercial. I also liked the little laugh during “no one has to know about it.” Makes the read very warm and relatable.

    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.

    Duracell Quantum Batterie
    SFX: Children Giggling: Then Music Under
    This Duracell truck has some very special power.
    It’s filled with new Duracell Quantum batteries.
    These red batteries are so powerful that this year
    they’ll power all the Hasbro toys donated to “Toys for Tots”.
    Wanna help power some smiles?

      This was not supposed to be uploaded. This very user-unfriendly site does not allow mistakes to be corrected!!!!

      Hi Mr. Smith,

      I checked out your reads, and wanted to provide my feedback.

      Human Society – Good tone and good pacing. I noticed upspeak at the end of the first and second sentence, watch out for that. Also maybe add a bit of differentiation b/w abandoned, some sick or injured.

      Machine Learning – good tone and good pacing, but it sounded slighly robotic. Also watch out for the glottal between “nature and”.

      Zellers – good differentiation b/w men, kid’s and ladies. But the read could have used a little more pep. Imagine if Crazy Eddie did this read. You don’t have to be that over the top, but just give the read a bit more excitement.

      Overall good job.

      Hi Andres,

      I listened to your read, and I thought it was good. The tone and pacing of the read are solid. Also you differentiate between sentences nicely. The only suggestion I have is slowing down, “hello and welcome”. Also may I suggest next time you post on the forum, include the copy of the read. It allows listeners to better analyze your performance, and provide more helpful feedback.

    I would love to get some feedback on these pieces. Just started the narration track and am working to find that authentic voice while considering varying audiences.
    (Also, it’s my first upload and I hope I did this correctly. Any help is appreciated)
    Thanks.

    Here are a few more reads I worked on last week. The scripts are from the Harvey Home Theatre and Motel 6 scripts in the library.

    Harvey Home Theatre
    He has a 160 IQ, performs cardiac surgery for a living. And now, he can even operate his home entertainment system. Introducing Harvey Home Theater. It’s so sophisticated, it’s simple. Dimensions of sight and sound unheard of, until now. All at your fingertips. Now, if he could only operate the microwave. Home Theater from Harvey, not your ordinary electronics store. Call for the Harvey near you.

    Motel 6 Do Over
    I’ve just been hearing about this trendy new hairstyle called a man bun. I mean what’s next the hee hive? well Motel 6 recently got a new updo of sorts too with renovations nationwide and even with our fresh modern look you’ll still find rooms at the lowest price of any national chain so you can save up enough money to get yourself a haircut or maybe a hat.
    We’ll leave the light on for you, at Motel6.com

      I thought the first one was excellent in it’s authenticity. The pace was quite effective as well. I thought the second was not quite as authentic, it was a little “acty”, if I may coin that word. Your voice is perfect for both pieces and the sound quality rocks.

    So, I’m REALLY struggling to hammer out my “natural” delivery, and I’ve been running around in circles. Any help or feedback would be VERY appreciated. Thanks!

    Atlanta Bread Company

    When you think of Atlanta Bread Company, don’t just think ‘bread’.
    Think of an entire breakfast menu – fresh-baked pastries, hot breakfast sandwiches and specialty coffees.
    Think of our Cafe with savory sandwiches, daily soups and crisp salads.
    And don’t forget…we can cater your next special event or meeting!
    Atlanta Bread Company – more than just bread.

    Special K Red Berries

    Putting strawberries in cereal wasn’t our idea.
    Putting them in the box was.
    With slices of real strawberries and crunchy sweet flakes, looking good never tasted so good.

    A1 Steak Sauce

    With steak, you want to make every bite count.
    That’s why we use A-1 Steak Sauce.
    A-1 brings out every single bite of steak, or even hamburger.
    Mmmmm, delicious.
    For me, there’s only one steak sauce, A-1.
    Because A-1 has all the taste that makes every bite count.

      Hi Logan, maybe try to uplift the read a little. I agree on adding a smile or laugh, will make a difference. Good Luck!

      All three are filled with taste sensory images. Use those. Bring up those flavors in your mind. Maybe a close friend who likes food could be your intended audience. Hope this helps.

      Hi there!

      Try laughing before the reads and smile throughout and see if that helps.
