Fantasy Sports is estimated to be a four billion dollar industry that boasts over 30 million participants and leagues for every sport imaginable.
But for all this success, the story of the game’s inception is little known (UP). The modern fantasy leagues can be traced back to a group of writers and academics who met at La Rotisserie Francaise in New York City to form a baseball league of their own.
The game quickly grew in popularity, and with the growing use and attractiveness of the Internet, the “founding fathers” never foresaw how their creation would take off and ultimately leave them behind.
Alrighty everyone!
This is my first time uploading anything, as homework for private coaching!
I’d really appreciate some hard, honest feedback!
I’ll copy the scripts to the post!
Thanks everyone!

(Jack Daniels)
In Lynchburg, Tennessee, you can park in the middle of the road to talk with a neighbor about taxes or the weather. You can pick enough wild blackberries to fill a tin bucket. And you can see a distillery where Jack Daniel made whiskey way back in 1866. We still make it in a slow, deliberate fashion, much as he did. One sip, and you’ll be glad to know we don’t ever plan to stop. Jack Daniel’s … smooth sippin’ Tennessee whiskey.
Thanks for the feedback. I certainly didn’t mean to put an accent on haha. I think I just had Tennessee on the mind and it happened. Its a bad habit of mine Im afraid. Happens all the time when I travel, unfortunately.
Hey Feedback forum! I have two test reads here, going for the e-learning/explainer VOs. The first was the August VO contest script. As always, anything to improve the read is appreciated!
—-Ionizing Radiation—-
The purpose of this 8-section video-series is to increase your knowledge of ionizing radiation and to help you develop safe work habits here in the GE laboratory. A test will follow each section. Select “section 1” when you’re ready to begin.
—-Explainer Video for Website—-
For a manufacturer: Visibility, Performance and Predictability are paramount to success.
But how do industry professionals in sewn products manufacturing meet the challenges of reducing cycle times, increasing productivity, and delivering greater quality at lower costs?
I checked out your reads, and wanted to share my notes with you.
Ionizing Radiation – very good tone, watch out for the glottal stop b/w “radiation and”.
Explainer Video for Website – good tone. The second question/sentence sounds a bit rigid/robotic. Also watch out for the glottal b/w “Performance and Predictability”.
Notetaker!
Very soothing voice! What do I know, but, the IR spot; don’t go up in pitch at the end of the statements? Sounds a bit strange like a Valley Girl; it also gave me the feeling that you were talking down to the audience.
The EV spot was also very good vocally; perhaps slow the read down and enunciate?
Rock On!
Hi there – did some playful reads, please let me know your thoughts:
Word of Mouth News:
In today’s Word of Mouth News – Get Down On It! For a good time, call the smoothest operator around: your smartphone. Throw an off-the-hook bash, with everything from cool favors to boogie fever, thanks to a few new apps.
Rachael Show:
Mark your calendar for Rachael. Hot celebs… Hot fashions… and of course, Hot Dogs! Rach is sizzling all summer long! Rachael – Weekdays, check your local listings.
Hey Evette75, nice reads! I liked the playful tone. On the Rachael show, the vibe worked well but fell off a little at the end (“check your local listings”). I like how you extended “all summer long” and didn’t push through it too fast. Only thing I really noticed on Word of Mouth News was a little glottal stop in “off-the-hook.” Way to get into it!
Hi everyone, still working on some more narration scripts as I get ready for my demo. Feedback is always appreciated!
TESLA CAMERA APP
The touchscreen is your control panel for accessing functions, features and apps in your Tesla. The camera allows you to display what the high-definition rear view camera sees at any time when in Reverse. Guidelines appear and move with the steering wheel to show your trajectory. Always be sure to check your surroundings and to use your mirrors. The camera is an aid and should not be relied upon for rear view. If you are in need of additional assistance, you can reach Tesla support at eight-four-four two-four-eight-three-seven-five-two.
COSMIC NARRATION
This is the story of a small planet in space called Earth.
Today it has mighty oceans; scorched deserts; and frozen wildernesses.
It supports a multitude of diverse creatures, and is home to more than 6 billion people and their technological civilization.
But how did all this come about? Where do we come from?
BUD GRANT
After spending four years in the Canadian Football League as a player, Grant went on to start a coaching legacy as just a 29-year-old. He proceeded to lead the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to six Grey Cups over the next 10 years, winning four of them. Ten years later, Grant came home to take over as the head coach of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.
Jayburglar—
I was able to listen to Tesla Camera App: You have a really nice voice for this type of VO work, and you have excellent enunciation. Sometimes it sounds like you’re reading word-to-word, a little choppy, rather than as a smooth thought. Also watch some of the words that you might want to emphasize a smidgen more: Always, additional. The phone number read was perfect. Keep up the great work!
Nice job.. I agree with Mel82’s feedback.There was something with the “Ts” and maybe the “S’s on the first read. Slow down just a tad bit. All in all. Very good!
Hey Dillon;
Slow down and enunciate. Is that your “normal” speaking voice? Otherwise don’t push the vocals, it sounds contrived to me. Great enthusiasm! Be clear and convincing.
Rock On!
Great energy and overall clear. I would just pay attention to the T’s and D’s, like in “get it all done” and “ready.” You hit the T on “Geico Direct” really well, so I’d just emphasize a little more.
Hello Everyone, Here are two Scripts from the practice library I recorded for my narration homework. Take a listen and I would love all feedback that will help me to know what I need to work on some more. Thank you so much!
Social Security
Whether you’re young or old, male or female, single or with a family – this video is for and about you. That’s because Social Security has programs that affect everybody. This presentation was prepared by the Social Security Administration and tells you what you need to know about Social Security while still working and what you need to know when it’s your turn to collect benefits. It also provides an overview of Medicare and Supplemental Security Income benefits.
Top Of The Rock Observation Deck
Welcome to Top Of The Rock, the best views of New York City from the newly renovated 3-tiered observation deck at the summit of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The views from all three levels of the observation deck are breathtaking. With its open-air simplicity, complete 360-degree skyline, and crystal clear panels of glass showcasing the 80-mile view, Top Of The Rock is unmatched by any other vantage point in New York City.
I checked out your reads, and here are my thoughts.
Social Security – good pace to the read. Watch out for the glottal stop b/w Administration and in the third sentence. You hit the key words nicely. You sounded a little tense/rigid in this read. Imagine you are talking to somebody to help the read sound more fluid.
Top of the Rock Observation Deck – good tone, good voice, you hit key words nicely. This read sounds great. Very good job.
Hi everyone! I appreciate the feedback in my last post! Following that advice, I have attached 2 of my narration recording, with the goal of being able to sound a bit more conversational while still being able to maintain a healthy balance between sounding conversational and professional (authoritative). Feedback would be really appreciated! Thank you!
Hey!
I think this is very good! My suggestion; make it flow by cutting the pauses? The pauses make it sound as if you’re reading a list, makes the listener squirm a bit, LOL!
Rock On!
