    Hi All just looking for some feedback on these 3 submissions for home work.

    Thanks!

    FORD ESCAPE:
    Come on. You’re a smart person. If you’re buying an suv, why not get the one with the best gas mileage? The Ford Escape’s 1.6 liter Ecoboost engine saves you an average of fifteen hundred dollars on gas over 5 years. Ford Escape the smarter way to get there.

    USPS:Tangled lights, mall parking and “some assembly required”. A few reasons to get a head start on the holidays. Fly Like an Eagle. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. We deliver.

    OBSERVATION DECK:
    Hello, and welcome to the audio simulation of the One Vanderbilt Observation Deck.
    Please adjust your audio volume to a level that best represents my voice at a normal speaking volume to a person standing next to you.
    This will calibrate your headphone level. Please do not adjust your audio volume again over the course of the simulation.

      I liked the Ford Escape delivery, relaxed and realistic sounding. Sounds like some words are not enunciated right? like “dollars”, minor but it can make a difference. The USPS was a little formal, I would smile on delivery of the tag line UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE and highlight we deliver with a different tone? Nice work on these!

      Hi Shaun – I hope you find this feedback helpful: Ford Escape – I like the way your intimate tone at the start pulls in the listener, like letting us in on a secret; USPS – I liked the just-the-facts energy of this read; Observation Deck – I could really imagine myself on an observation deck and hearing your voice walking me through a guided tour. Good job on all!

      I love the Documentary and About Us demos, they showcase your personality more, if that makes sense, and you came alive! The other 2 are decent, well-articulated, more corporate, but, didn’t hear you as well as in the other two. But awesome job!

      I like the pace, energy as well as the pitch modulations towards the end. Good work!

    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?
    SFX: Children Giggling: Then Music Under

      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.
