    Grabbed a Script from the library for some practice. This is just a raw file I did no editing to it. Would still love your feedback. Thanks!

    Script:
    American Express
    Do you know me? Probably not. In my business, recognition is always important, but when I’m buying goods online I prefer a little privacy. With Private Payments from American Express, I get the security of a unique number created for each business transaction I make. Because my private information is my business, and American Express keeps it that way.

      Hi. I like how your voice makes the message seem simple and friendly. I wonder if the last line needs a little more punch?

    Hi everyone! I’m an Edge student as an aspiring voiceover artist for children’s audiobooks and narration. Here I did a couple of children’s commercials. Please give it a listen and let me know what is good and what needs to be worked on. Just a side note, I’m not using an actual microphone but my own phone, so please excuse for it sounding muffled. Sorry it got posted twice. Thank you!

      Hello!

      Disney Princess Pop-Up Games: I think you did a pretty good job here! Your voice has a dreamlike, fairytale-narrator quality that definitely matches well with the subject. This could just be me however, but I feel that your pacing is a little slow? On one hand I feel it’s intentional, but on another I do feel that there were times where I thought some lines should definitely pick up a little speed.

      Sesame Place Theme Park: A great job here! You’ve got great energy, and I can totally understand the elevations you’ve given to words in your script. Near-impeccable delivery. A minor nitpick, but I think I would’ve said ‘Oscar’s Wacky Taxi(TM)’ a bit differently in an attempt to offset between that and ‘New in 2018… most exciting roller coaster ever,’ or vice versa. But still, great work!

The outdoors is even more fun when Sesame Street is part of it. Now, there’s a lot of SESAME STREET for everyone’s backyard. It’s fun. Each sold separately…from MATTEL.

      Hi RoxyMel,
      Your recording was very nice and clear. My only suggestion is to remove or reduce the pauses at the commas, and that way it can keep a good flow and pace. Nice job!

    Had a technical issue with my last post and now can’t find the post, Try Number 2. I’m doing some more homework and with the advice from my homework on August 23rd, I believe I’ve fixed some previous issues. I hope this sound more conversational and that I sound more relatable to the text. I also changed the sound and hope that it improved as well.

    Tennessee Whiskey
    Born from Appalachian mud and mist; from passed-down secrets and passed-on traditions; born from law abidin’ and law unabidin’; born from calloused hands and broken back; born from deep blue grass and rich Bluegrass; born from good people and shared with the same. Tennessee Whiskey.

    Ben & Jerry’s Freezer Fairies (for one reader)
    Hey, it’s me. The Ben & Jerry’s Freezer Fairy. That’s what I said. Ben & Jerry’s Freezer Fairy. You know some people don’t believe in Freezer Fairies. Doesn’t bother me. I know I’m here.

    So listen up. Here’s how it works. Do something good out there in the world and bang. I stick a pint or two of Ben & Jerry’s in your freezer when no one is looking.

    Now, do something bad and boom! No Ben & Jerry’s. Plus I stick something really weird in your freezer like frozen clams.
    Hey! I ain’t no lightweight fairy that tap dances on moonbeams and stuff.
    I work for a living. I got bills to pay.
    Just like you guys.
    So where was I?
    Let’s review. Do something good….
    I sneak some Ben & Jerry’s into your freezer. Maybe some Cherry Garcia.
    Or some Chunky Monkey. But do something bad….
    And no Ben & Jerry’s in YOUR freezer!
    Plus I mess with your head a little bit.
    OK, till next time. I wish you a freezer full of love and surprises.
    Be good out there.
    OR ELSE!

    Hey all! I’ve got a couple of scripts from a while ago that I tried to change up and give another go! They’re narration, and I’m a naturally fast-talker which means I really struggle with slowing myself down for these! Any feedback is welcome, but especially let me know if there’s any issues with pacing, going too fast, or not letting the script breathe. Specifically with the second one, I was trying to aim for a friendly but still instructive tone. Thanks!!

    Orton Hall-
    Welcome to the historic Orton Hall! Built in 1893, it’s like our very own Hogwarts. It is home to one of the quietest and oldest libraries on campus, as well as our own personal dinosaur.

    Air Purifier Tutorial-
    To install a new capsule into your air purifier, switch the unit “off.” Then remove the new capsule from its protective wrapping. Open the capsule cap by turning in the direction opposite to that directly indicated by the arrow on the cap. Insert the capsule in the cap until the tabs catch the cap. Insert the complete cap into the air purifier. Turn the cap in the direction of the arrow. And then switch the unit back “on.” Your air purifier will now release a pleasant fragrance during operation. Either choose “repeat” to watch this demonstration again, or it will automatically close.

      Hey Troy,

      Orton Hall I thought was actually too slow in my opinion. I could hear the breathing in between and it was choppy.

      However, the next one was perfect. I could still hear the breathing but the pace was really nice and you seemed far more connected in the script.

      Lovely Job overall. Definitely have a narrative voicing.

    I look forward to hearing what you think, the good and the bad. Please be real and give it to me straight. So grateful for your time, friends.

      All of them are very good. For the first one, however, I would show a little more urgency in my voice, but that’s just my opinion.

      I can’t seem to edit that up there, so I’d like to add that I would love any feedback and tips on recording quality too please!

        Your tone matched each one very nicely. I would say that you seem to get winded as if your trying to get all of one sentence out in one go. I have trouble doing this was advised to put pretend breath marks in. It’s not as bad in the first or the last one as it is in the middle on Tips on Basal Insulin. I also noticed a cut off in the end of the Insulin one. The Insulin one is also recorded at a higher volume? it is really boomy. I hope this helps. I really enjoyed the reads otherwise.

    Hey gang…!

    Doing a little practice these days. Since it has been a while, thought I would see how you think I am doing.

    Amendment3
    In states across America,
    Voters decide gambling issues.
    Floridians once had that power, too.
    With Amendment 3, we will again.
    Amendment 3 restores control of gambling to voters
    Not politicians
    Not gambling lobbyists
    YOU
    That’s why gambling lobbyists are spending millions falsely attacking Amendment 3
    They don’t want voters in charge
    Florida’s top newspapers agree
    Put the power in the hands of the voters
    By voting YES to Amendment 3

    Voting Record
    Election season is here.
    Remember, who you vote for is secret
    But whether you vote is public information
    Your friends, family, and neighbors can look up your voting record
    This year, whether by mail, early, or on Nov 2nd
    Be sure to Make a Plan to Vote!
    And after the election your voting record will be updated based on your participation on Nov 2nd
    So, Vote, on or by Nov 2nd.

    I know the room is in the mix a lot more than I would like, so ignore that…!

    Thanks for your time.

      These both sound quite professional to me. Your voice sounds sincere, the pace seems good and your intonations seem very appropriate. Also the music seems to accentuate nicely.
