Hi all, uploading these 2 reads before my upcoming coaching session. This is my first time using the De-Clicker tool, and I think it went well. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hello there, ‘
The freshii bit was clean. i think it flowed really well start to finish. The risewell had different tones or levels to it. It did sound a little choppy in the middle. The recording quality is excellent…sounds clean.

[Joseph Thompson]

Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to give me some feedback. I’m working on pacing, flow, and enunciation, so I’d appreciate any constructive criticism that’ll help me improve my technique. Thanks in advance.

in terms of pacing, the story-teller was slower than the medical script, maybe the pause in between sentences could be a little shorter, but the flow was consistent. THe medical script was a livelier tone and was definitely faster. “Access your patient records”…Access came out a little higher pitched, otherwise, the tone was consistent throughout. Hope that makes sense.

[ierxyzz]

I like your flow! And I can understand your enunciation well. For Medical-script, “patient records and appointments” ran together a little bit for me. Maybe either slowing that part down a hair or changing the pitch a little more between them would help me process the information better. Great stuff!

Hello everyone! Trying out the recording studio (hope the sound quality is up to s***f) and rerecorded PURINA based on the feedback to be brighter and peppier. Not sure if enough. Also uploading BIG CATS as a way different read. Would appreciate any and all feedback – thank you!

I liked the Purina recording, especially the end. You can hear the smile. :). The only thing i noticed were inhales…I have some difficulty figuring out when to breathe during a read. Lol.

[Stephen Winburn]

Hi all,

I’ve finally gotten around to doing the homework for my next coaching session! I decided to do the same script twice rather than two different ones; one focusing on being conversational at what i feel is a natural pace, and the other focusing on pace and tone specifically.
My usual headset was on the fritz today so please excuse the sound quality in the recordings! Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I accidentally uploaded it 3 different times and can’t remove them🙃 just the first two files friends, apologies!

I liked the recording quality of fish part 2 better than part 1. To me part 1 sounded a little muffled and part 2 was a brighter tone. The flow was good in both recordings. Part2 did pick up more sound and towards the end it wasn’t as clear as the part 1.

[Barndi]

I thought the pacing was great on all of them. Tone wise, and I don’t know if this is bc of the recording quality, but I like FISH-part-1.mp3 the best. It sounded more authentic than FISH-part-2.mp3 and other recordings like it. Hope this helps!

Wow! That sounded like something i would hear on the radio today! The very first time I heard it, I didn’t catch the first two words but the second time heard it no problem. Hope this helps!

[Earthbul]

Felt like you were rushing a bit and a little too precise with your words, if that makes any sense. I’m not good at expressing myself withe written word lol Just slow down a bit and speak naturally. I like your voice.

Good Morning! Happy Halloween everyone!

I recorded both of these in my closet for now, hoping to get some better equipment next year. Aside from sound quality of the home studio, please let me know what I can improve on! Thank you!

I feel you on sound quality. I recently moved and my acoustics are for s**t at the moment. Thinking of investing in a Hogan box. I like your voice in this. Great delivery with nice pacing. And it’s Excedrin with a short e. I always check pronunciation of the clients name before I record. I mispronounced McAfee during an audition and didn’t hear the end of it. Keep it up, I’d love to hear more from you.

[Angela Doyle]

Excedrin:
Aside from the mispronunciation (I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced “Ex-CED-rin”), I liked your read. I could totally relate/connect with what you were saying. One nit: I’d add a beat between “go away” and “There is a solution”. I like your tone. Very well-suited to the spot.

Carnation:
Add a beat between “change the world around us” and “Packed with protein…” The way it is now (jammed up together a bit) makes me think you’re still talking about changing the world… Again, I like your tone. Well-suited.

[Grace Lee]

Please disregard the sound quality as this was recorded on my iphone. But any other feedback is appreciated! Thank you!

I agree with Emily that your voice is very pleasant and calming to listen to and that the pacing was good. It felt like “for the natural world” and the following word “when” should connect more? Or is it a whole new sentence? And I agree that the last sentence could use a bit more urgency or some kind of feeling since this is about saving nature. Hope this helps!

[Emily Gauthier]

Hi Grace!

You have a very pleasant voice to listen to! It’s very calm and soothing which can definitely be a great asset. The pace was good and you’re really picking up those T’s at the end.

I would say that it does sound more like you’re reading than conveying a message about the awareness of the environment. The tone stays consistent throughout which is an indicator. I would try to push for more variation in your voice, like picturing the birds in your head near the end, or try digging into a few words. “We *knew* we had to do something.” To give it a bit more power.

Overall, pleasant read!

[Brandyhart610]

May I have some feedback specific to the sound quality from my home studio?

Hi Brandy!

Like the others have said, it’s a bit loud, but scratch-free here – it sounds great, quality-wise. 🙂

[Emily Gauthier]

Hi Brandy!

I do agree with James that it is a little loud, but i’m not hearing the scratch. Maybe it’s subtler than I’m anticipating, so I’d get another veteran ear to listen for it!

Otherwise, very solid! Your voice is bright and bubbly and really nice on the ears. Hope to hear more!

[James]

As it turns out, the scratch was from my headphones, or more in particular how I had some settings in my computer. The sound was clear after all.

[James]

Your delivery was very good! But for the sound the volume was loud. I am also just guessing, but did you use a noise remover by chance? The noise floor was low as it should be, but I did hear some “scratch” in the audio on my end; perhaps someone can give a listen and make sure it’s not my headphones. I’d be interested to know more about the home studio setup you have if that is ok.

[Angela Doyle]

Hi! I’m new to Edge and to this feedback forum. I just started narration coaching sessions with Edge after completing a round of commercial sessions (and demo reel creation) with the competitor. =)

I’d love to get creative feedback (not technical–still working on improving my home studio) on these 2 reads please. My friends and family think my work is solid, but it’d be great to get input from people who are in the industry. Is it smooth? Does my voice grab you right from the start and keep you interested throughout? How could I improve my reads?

Thanks in advance!

The American Airlines one could be a little less choppier in the first half and more upbeat to really sound more “happy” to serve the passengers. I like your tone. It’s well suited for this read.

The second Biogenetic one is def better than the first. I have no idea what you were saying but it sounds like you know what you’re talking about. Lol. I like the sound of your voice, pacing and your articulation.

[James]

The biology track (the second posted, didn’t listen to the first) was Ok! Perhaps bring the pace up some, and engage the listener. I was a good track, but I didn’t get the connection. Otherwise the read was good! The airline track had a very good pace and also well read. I have a feeling you will go far in voice over!

[Angela Doyle]

I can’t seem to delete the Biogenetics Law read and replace it with a better one! Please disregard that one and listen to this one.
