    This is going to be the third time I’m trying to post in this forum. Let’s hope it works out this time.

    Hello again everyone. Officially posting my full homework assignment. There’s natural, slight monotony to my voice that I’m trying to train out. Otherwise, I’m looking for any an all feedback.

    I did try to post yesterday. Hopefully, this doesn’t become double posted.

    Thanks in advance for helping this newbie out!

      I love that each read sounded different – especially between the Cosmos and Financial Engines. Great job, I think you have a very pleasant voice and a nice timbre. One thing I am told frequently and I think I am starting to hear it in others is try with a little more smile and energy – warm it up some. On Planet Earth, perhaps a little faster as well. It feels more relaxing than I would expect.

    Hello All! This is my second submission on here, I appreciate all feedback. Thanks!

    PLANET EARTH: Welcome to the planet earth. A place of blue nitrogen skies, oceans of liquid water, cool forests, soft meadows; A world positively rippling with life. From the cosmic perspective, it is, for the moment, unique. The only world on which we know with certainty that the matter of the cosmos has become alive, and aware. There must be many such worlds scattered through space, but our search for them begins here, with the accumulated wisdom of the men and women of our species, acquired at great cost, over a million years.

    PROSPECTOR: Howdy folks, Clem the old prospector here to tell you how you can strike it rich, and you don’t even need a pick and shovel, all you need is a new Quick Pick from the Nebraska Lottery. With 6 chances to win, odds are you’ll do better than me diggin’ in this old mountain here.
    The new Quick Pick, from the Nebraska Lottery.

    SOLAR SYSTEM: Today we’re going to explore all of the planets in our solar system and some other places as well. We’ll travel into the future when astronauts live throughout the solar system. On each world we’ll see what the weather is like, what we would wear, and what we would do to have fun! Grab your oxygen, put on your seatbelt, and let’s blast off!

        Hi! For the Solar narration…
        Try putting emphasis on the word ” explore” instead of “we’re” and “system” in “solar system”. So it’s not SOLAR system but rather “solar SYSTEM”. Sorry, kinda hard to explain through writing. I think you nailed it on the 2nd half of the script. Great job!

      Hey, I thought your tone, pitch and volume were spot on — your tempo went just a tad too fast. I didn’t get the feeling that you were speaking directly to one person. As my coach says, find the person, and why you’re giving them the information. Overall, good job!

      Hi there!
      Great job! Try focusing on different words in your script to get different emphasis. Play around with the script and see how when you accent different words, it sounds completely different. For example, for the hero dog.. Try emphasizing the words littlest, biggest, and new.. So BIGGEST journey, and NEW friends, face NEW challenges etc…… Hope this helps!

        Alexandra, thank you so much for listening and giving feedback. Yes! All suggestions are a great help! I will play with emphasizing different words in other reads. Much appreciated.

      Hey Sue!
      Great pipes! Very Soothing! Thinking…..pop filter? back off the mic? I don’t know, I just here a lot of “mouth noises” if you know what I mean; I have a same issue in that if one slows down a bit the clarity of enunciation is better?
      Rock On!

        Oh Don!!! Thank you so much! I will certainly back off the mic, because I used the pop filter, so I must have been just too close! I’ll work on slowing it down! I appreciate you listening and giving feedback!

      Hi Roxy!!

      On Hello User I kind of wanted your voice to be a little bit more upbeat but soothing at the same time. Not sure if that makes sense. The recording sounded a little too sleepy but it could’ve just used a little more tune to get me more interested into wanting to reset my password. Hope this makes sense.

      Hi Roxy,

      This may sound strange, but on the Chevy commercial I kept wanting to hear a little more grit in your voice. I think the timing, inflections, and tone were great but it sounds very clean and you are talking about off-roading and getting d***y.

      On the Raven you brought great character to it. I felt like I was watching you perform rather than listening to you read. Really enjoyed it and I think that is what I was looking for in the Chevy recording – that performance.

        Hi Martina, you were able to read this in such a way that I could not stop listening – keeping the storytelling and suspense in tact. I think there were a couple of small words that may need a small edit, but really great job with this read, especially considering the legnth!
