Hello all! I really appreciate any feedback on these two reads. I’m still quite new to vo, so any advice is appreciated! I’m working on connecting more with the listener and being more conversational in narration reads, and maintaining a slower pace with fewer unnecessary pauses. Thanks!

I love the breaths. I’ve attempted book narration and found the editing to be difficult. Eventually started using a clicker to help me edit out mistakes. I always overthought my breathing. Found the whole thing to be headache inducing. But you are made for it. Loved your natural delivery. Really enjoyed the breathing. Very comforting.

[Alexander Wright]

The narration sounds good. I am also new and not too familiar with narration, but in terms of pauses and breaths, is that something you can do in narration using audio tools to silence breaths and such when possible? That’s the only thing that stood out

I agree with everyone else, the tone could do a little changing up to seperate between the first person and the brand. It’s on the softer side as well and a little slow for my taste. But the clarity was great!

[jennbowers]

I agree with Brian that there should be a shift in tone. I feel the first person part needs to convey the confidence/empowerment that color gives you. Your tone is great in the second half.

[Brian Evans]

Really nice work! I like how it’s in the first person until “Revlon.” Maybe there could be a shift in tone at that point? Not sure if that would be good or not for your reel.

[Brian Evans]

Hi! I would appreciate your feedback on this spot. Thanks!

What a smooth and lovely sound you have. I really enjoyed the coffee spot. You really captured that early morning first cup sound. Keep em coming.

[monibr16]

What a compliment! Thank you so much for the feeback earthbul!

[monibr16]

Hi, Monibr16! This is a very good read! Your tone and energy are both appropriate for the read. My only con would be the sibilance after the words “fits,” “cups,” and “straps.” May want to smooth out the hisses on those “s” sounds.

[monibr16]

Thank you so much artist, that helps a lot!

[Earthbul]

Any and all feedback welcomed and appreciated 🙂

Hi Earthbul! I really like the tone of your voice for this material. There is enough informal speech to convey the message and still plenty of details to make everything clear. Just a couple technical notes: The sound level comes in and out at the very beginning and at the end–“So you want…” sounds like it’s fading in and “…radical thinkers.” sounds like it’s fading out; and the music comes in a bit quiet for my ear and there isn’t a shift in your read (and/or a slight pause) when it starts so I wasn’t sure if it was intentional. But again, you’re voice is spot on for this.

[Artist7]

Hi, everyone-I’d appreciate feedback on these two short commercial reads. Thanks so much!

Hey artist7 you had two VERY good takes. Each painting the correct picture with your energy. Crest was upbeat and positive. I could hear the smile in your voice. Where ambien delivered a calm and peacful tone that suited the medical product.

The only not I’d give would be for the crest commercial hit the d in “wider” more. It kind of sounded like you were saying “whiter”. But other thank that they sound great.

[Artist7]

Hi, Monibr16! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and provide great feedback!

[JamesV]

Guys – when applying to join a VO work site, or maybe start a freelancer gig, I find it really difficult to describe my own voice – can you do it for me please? If you could reply with three words I could use as descriptors, I’d be most grateful.

Pleasant, engaging, solid.

[Brian Evans]

Hi James. I agree with Andrea and I would add confident and friendly.

[Andrea Williams]

HI, James. I would say deep, warm and engaging.

[Danielle]

Hi Everyone! I’d love any non-technical feedback on these submissions, particularly on my diction, pacing, and, conversational tone. Thanks so much for your time!

Hi, Danielle. Your diction, pace, and conversational tone were very good. Both reads sounded and felt very authentic and your voice is very easy to listen to.

[Earthbul]

Very nice read. Conversational and confident.

[Danielle]

Thanks so much for the feedback, Andrea!

[Brian Evans]

Fantastic voice and tone, Brian. I agree with Chris on the pauses. There were fewer in the Invesco read, which sounded more natural.

[Chris Neil]

Hi, I like the tone of your voice and what I was told when I had my evaluation is I was pausing too much, and I think you are also pausing too often. But other than that it sounds great!
