    Hello! Practicing for my narration demo. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you!

    Kid’s Meditation
    It’s bedtime now, time to snuggle into bed and let your eyes softly close. Let’s take a few deep breaths together, ready? In and out…in and out. Notice how warm and safe and comfortable you feel. Keeping your eyes closed, allow your mind to travel. Beneath you, your bed has transformed and you find yourself way up high on a rocky, snow-covered mountain top.

      you have a lovely voice, Nadia. For me the T sound in “Out” came off too hard which took away from the softness of the read. Good job overall!

    Hey everyone. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on this forum, but I am ready to continue my plan of uploading two recordings as much as I can. I just recorded a new narration audition and a commercial script and I would appreciate any feedback on my performance and the recording setup. Thanks for your advice.

      Hey Tim! Great seeing you on forums again!

      I loved your IDI read. was very clean. There was a word that stuck out to me about 4 seconds in “America’s insulation source” the word source almost sounds like your saying it like soursa with a soft a to finish. Really not big as it could be part natural accent coming out or just me lol. But love the read overall.

      Wintergreen: Anther great read. near the end sounds a bit pushed with breath. There is also a lot of information here. Being honest I had to listen 2-3 times just to gather all the information. I would maybe suggest finding the key words in the script and make sure to bring those key words out a little more to help the listener following along. Great work my friend!

      Hi Mel82, I feel when I listen to your narrations they are more audio book style narrations. You may be thinking into the script text a little bit to much. Try pulling back and reading as though your having a conversation. You may find that you don’t punch some words to hard and that it will flow more smooth. Hope this helps. Great first recording! Keep it up!

    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!

      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!
