      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!

    WITH STEAK, YOU WANT TO MAKE EVERY BITE COUNT. THAT’S WHY
    WE USE A-1 STEAK SAUCE. A-1 BRINGS OUT ALL THE DEEP DOWN
    JUICY GOODNESS OF EVERY SINGLE BITE OF STEAK…. OR EVEN
    HAMBURGER. DELICIOUS! FOR ME, THERE’S ONLY ONE
    STEAK SAUCE. A-1. BECAUSE A-1 HAS ALL THE TASTE THAT MAKES

    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!

    Sesame Street Playhouse — Mattel

    It’s Sesame Street in the backyard. All the fun and imagination of Sesame Street is here. A playhouse with things to slide on, and wriggle through, and pretend to talk on, and play with. 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.

    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.
