The Edge Studio Feedback Forum is the best place for you to post a recording and get feedback from the community! Record in your home studio, upload the file, and see what people think. This is a great place to get some advice on your technique, on your home studio, or to ask for people’s opinion on your reads.

I agree pampers read b was better! Also, that ben and jerry’s one was fun! I really liked the character you were getting into. It was fun to listen to! ^_^

I like how soothing your voice is. The pampers read B was definitely better. It flowed more, had a better pitch and wasn’t as monotone. Also watch how close you are to your microphone I kept hearing a popping noise. If you don’t have a pop filter it will definitely be worth the investment as I had similar issues when I was starting out as well. Keep up the great work!

That’s why there’s new Wrangler Cool Vantage jeans.
They keep you cool by wickin’ sweat five times faster.

Hello everyone – I’ve been with EdgeStudio for a few months now but I’m new to the forums.
I’m working towards a narration demo at this point.
Would be greatly appreciative of any feedback on the files below.Also – what is the etiquette for giving others feedback? Would it be inappropriate for me to give any feedback since I’m so new?
Looking forward to being a part of this community and working with all of you!
Cheers – Jorge

THANKS.-
Hi Don,
Your voice is so nice to listen to. It has a warm, slightly gravelly, down-to-earth feel. Just a couple things I noticed:
The “t” and “d” at the end of certain words may not be distinct enough for the listener (such as in “Amstel LighT,” and “functionally you wanT” in the First Bank read).
You may also want to try different ways of saying the beginning and end of the copy to see if it expresses any other emotions. For instance, in the Amstel Light piece, maybe try a gentle and consoling “Heyy..” or a surly, know-it-all roommate “Hey.” I can tell that you have the ability to bring out the comedy and the flavors of the copy with your voice.
Good stuff overall. Thank you for posting! -

Hi everyone!
I recently finished my second coaching session and would love to get some feedback from you all. Heard this was the best place for that! Below are the scripts I’ve chosen from the library with mp3 files attached. Let me know what you all think. I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
Mercedes – 2014 E Class
A car that can actually see like a human using stereoscopic cameras and even stop itself if it has to.
The technology may be hard to imagine but why YOU would want it..is not.
The 2014 E-class.. it doesn’t just see the future..it IS the futureCitibank
I’m a T-shirt and jeans guy. Never spent a lot on clothes.
So I meet a girl. She doesn’t mind that I’m a T-shirt and jeans guy.
We decide to get married. Now I need a tuxedo. I go big time.
I decide not to rent. I buy. Its worth it. I look great!..Then I get this call. it’s not my best man. Not my mom. Its Citibank. They just wanted to make sure someone else wasn’t using my card. Imagine a T-shirt and jeans guy finding happiness with a girl, a tuxedo and a bank all at the same time. What a year!-
Hi Cbrown865! Nice fresh tone and personality in your reads. I agree, just slow it down and adjust pacing so each phrase and word can be heard in your message. Keep it up!

Hey Cb!
Slow it down; enunciate (slowing down will help with that?). Acoustics where you record. Rock On!! -

Hi there! I recorded a couple scripts for my narration lessons. Any feedback is much appreciated!
Edison and Tesla Biography
“Obsessed with his work and known to be an exacting boss, Edison had an ego as incandescent as his light bulbs, a sense of his own greatness that was undoubtedly justified. He was also incredibly competitive, willing to do whatever was required to ensure that his idea won out.
Born in Serbia, Tesla was a different kind of genius. Whereas Edison was an eternal experimenter and tinkerer, Tesla was a human calculator, and his ability to work out complex math and physics equations in his mind helped him achieve early career success in Europe.”Inside Halo Infinite
“Welcome back to the latest edition of Inside Infinite. If you’re a longtime viewer, you know first-hand that this is the place where we sit down with the teams building Halo Infinite, to learn more about them and their processes than we ever have before.
If you’re just joining us, welcome! We’re glad to have you – but before diving into today, we’d highly recommend checking out previous editions. So far, we’ve had the chance to chat with quite a few teams around 343 Industries, including Graphics, Sandbox, Campaign, Audio, and PC- so be sure to get caught up and hear from them in their own words before we dive into today’s edition of Inside Infinite.”-
Hi TroyC,
You speak with ease, and your reads have a conversational feel to it. I noticed that you read many of the words differently than what was written, added words that were not there, and said some of the key words incorrectly, all of which can throw off the listener…so please be mindful of those things.
Thanks, and keep on posting! -

Still working on my narration. These are 3 scripts that I recorded as homework for my coach.
BEAVERS:
The b****r builds its lodge out of intertangled twigs and sticks; as freezing weather nears, they plaster their lodge with mud, making a concrete layer that no predator can break through. During the early nineteenth century, the b****r pelt was the single most valuable commodity; the pelt being used for robes, coats, clothing trims, and top hats.DATATECH:
All of us here at DataPlex welcome you to our website in which we attempt to distill the essence of what we are all about …
helping our customers improve their use of disparate, complex and ever-changing technologies.In a nutshell, we increase their “tech worth” by evolving,

Welcome to the Metropolis Superman Museum. Throughout the museum you will find numerous examples of Superman merchandise and memorabilia, illustrating the long and grand history of the world’s most beloved superhero.
To begin your tour, please proceed to the right.
Superman began as a series of daily comic strips created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster. The first adaptation of the comic was a radio drama starring Bud Collyer as Superman.-
Hi Jay,
Your voice is very robust, upbeat, and clear! I did notice a slight difference in tone or emotion that you applied to each read, but I still noticed a hint of announcer or sales quality. For instance, when you read the “robes, coats, clothing trims, and top hats,” it felt like a description of an array of products, and “state of the art platforms” also ended with a similar inflection. I’m not a coach so hopefully I’m not conflicting with what your coach says, but it seems like for narration, it’s important to see which words are important to emphasize, and focus less on making it sound appealing, so perhaps consider slightly decreasing the “oomph” of the read and settle down into a more factual, person-standing-next-to-you read. If you were actually near the actual beavers in the first read, consider what volume you would need to have without disturbing the animals! I enjoyed all three reads overall, though! Thanks for posting. -

Hello all! Here is a do-over recording for any and all feedback. I was trying to keep it flowing and not to pause unnecessarily. Let me know if you think I succeeded and or you hear other things to work on. Thank you!
Mary
Gertrude Käsebier was an American photographer who was known for her images of motherhood and her portraits of Native Americans; her portraits of the Sioux focused more on the expression and individuality of the person than their costumes and customs. She helped establish the Women’s Professional Photographers Association of America and promoted photography as a career for women.

Hi Mary! This piece flowed nicely without a lot of those pauses that you’re trying to avoid. The only pause I caught was at the very beginning after “Gertrude Kasebier”. It’s very slight, though, so great job overall.
