    Hi! I am new to voice over & this is my first time posting here. I would love some non-technical feedback on the two commercials below! Would love to know how I am doing on pace & flow, in addition to emphasis on key words, while not sounding choppy. Thank you!

    Hi All,

    I have been working on VO for a couple of years. Its been all about technology, industry, narrating and anything else about VO. I am more comfortable with these and would like to get feedback on the sound only of a recording. An RX stack was created for me and is used on this recording. I’d like to not be so concerned about the sound for a while and work more on my narration and auditioning. Any feedback is welcome but I’d like to know the sound is ok and I am at least competitive soundwise.

      Hi Tamara, You have a lovely voice! The Louis Vuitton one is great – I wonder if you could use a bit more range in this one, by playing with some some higher pitches in there. I also listened to the North Carolina one. I love how I can hear the smile in your voice on this one. I would be curious how this would sound if you sped up the pace on this one ever so slightly. Great work!

    Hi everyone,
    I’m interested in any feedback on the attached – I am particularly interested in hearing if the alternate takes have enough variety/point of view and if the reads are conversational. I’m open to any other feedback, including technical, as well. Here are the specs for the spot:

    “For this spot, you’ll be playing a young mother looking for life insurance. We’re striving for levity and, more importantly, authenticity. I encourage you to find nuance in your performance and work with a finer brush than you may be used to. Keep in mind as well that this spot falls somewhere between a comedy and drama. It’s serious, but not heavy; it’s sweet and lighthearted, but not necessarily funny.”

    Hi all! Happy New Year! Would love any non-technical feedback you’d be willing to provide on these commercial reads for Chime and Nickelodeon Hotels. Thank you so much for your help!

      Hi Taylor,
      Really nice reads! I think for the Chime spot you could play with differentiating the beginning, middle and end of the spot a bit more to give the important pieces their own feeling (I hope that makes sense!).

      I really liked the variety in your Nickelodeon Hotels spot and the warmth/excitement in your voice. I think you could slow down the tiniest bit (I lost the end of the word accommodation for example) and I’d give a little beat before the final line so it has more punch.
      Hope that helps! 🙂

        Very nice read, I think you have the perfect voice for this commercial. The only suggestion I have would be to put a little more emphasis on the client’s name at the end.

    Hello, all, and Happy New Year! I’m hoping to get feedback on my delivery on a couple of narration reads. Also, I’ve been trying to improve my noise floor and practicing my editing. I’d appreciate any feedback on those, as well. Thank you!

    Hi there! This is my first time posting to the feedback forum and I’d love to hear your critiques on my Canva and American Express commercial reads. My recording space is not fully set up yet, so please only provide voice-related feedback. Let me know if these sound conversational and any other feedback you may have. Thank you so much 🙂

      Hi Taylor
      On the Canva read, your voice has a very nice tone and you did a nice job emphasizing those important words. One suggestion for improvement would be to speed your tempo up a little bit since these are for commercials and also maybe very your tempo to make it sound a little more conversational. For the Amex commercial, your tone was more varied. 🙂 Be careful to not emphasize words that don’t have a lot of punch, like you and your.
      Hope this helps. Good luck to you!

      Hi Taylor – You have such a lovely and warm voice! One thing I noticed in your Canva read is something that I have also gotten some feedback on which is that you emphasize certain words, such as “just”, “playground” etc. in a way that makes sense with the cadence of the script but can somewhat bury the following word so I would just highlight that as something to be mindful of. Both reads are excellent, though!

    Hello! This is my first submission. I’m working on my narration demo and am practicing. Please ignore my focus on my delivery, rather than the technical aspects of my recording. Does the delivery sound authentic? How’s the pacing? I’d appreciate any other feedback. Thank you. — Catherine

      Hi Catherine – Great reads! The Appalachian Trail Travelogue is engaging and conversational – it sounds as though you’re talking about the trail to real people in a visitors center. 🙂 I think the Audrey Hepburn read could use some more of that conversational element – it’s clear and well-paced but seems to be just missing the conversational cherry on top!

      Sorry. I meant to request that you ignore the technical aspects and focus on delivery. (I couldn’t edit my initial post, for some reason.) Thank you.
