I liked the tone and it grabbed my attention. The room seemed to be quite bright with an echo that detracted from your performance. The pause between ‘loudest monkey’ and ‘the howler monkey’ seemed a bit too long. It made the two sections feel separated by a period rather than by a comma.
Wow, you have a great voice and sound! I noticed upward inflection at the end of the phrases “Unique number” and “transaction I make” that I normally associate with asking a question.
Cecelia I’m loving your voice and the fact that your audio sounds really good you can really focus on the performance. I did hear alot of sss sounds on the first one but it didn’t sound bad at all you can always use tools on your DAW to remove those. And your second recording was great a few glottal stops but you sound great.
Hey C, what do I know….but…the first spot seems to have a lot of “sssss” with the words starting with s; #2 is just great in my book! My coach has me concentrating on slowing down the reads to help train my mouth to “do what my brain wants.” I swear I’ve already heard your voice on TV!!
Trying to practice more with narration! All feedback welcome, thanks!

Hello your voice is very nice! I did hear library and librarian mispronounced, I have run into this a few times and now i make sure that I m pronouncing the words accordingly. A few glottal stops also but nothing that can’t be fixed quickly. Great Job overall.
I thought the music worked really well and your voice was warm, friendly, but still professional. I think perhaps it was a touch rushed, though, I was struggling to keep up with your read, especially in the second half when you named the product. Still, I was really impressed!
Hi all,
As always thank you for your feedback and kepp those awesome demos and snippets coming! I love listening to you all!
This is a script for an HR type narration. I am looking to hear your thoughts specifically on the read, but as always I am open to more than that.
Thank you.

Script: Let’s get started with an overview of conflicts of interest. The simplest way to understand conflicts of interests, is to remember that we all have a duty to always act in the interests of the company, and NOT for our own personal benefit. Do not enter into situations where your actions might create a conflict, either actual OR potential, between personal gain, and company obligations. These are called ‘Conflicts of Interest.” If a conflict of interest arises, please disclose it immediately and let others decide how to proceed.
you have a beautiful soothing voice, well suited for narration. my one piece of feedback would be to keep the same energy throughout the read–it seemed like you were rushing a bit at the end, you got a little quieter and the tone got a bit less dynamic. other that that, excellent work!
Greetings! This text is well-suited to your voice. I find that the first sentence of your read sounds the best, probably because it has a natural-sounding variation in pitch. You articulate very clearly, which is good, but I have the feeling that your attention to articulation is sometimes working against the goal of a natural feel to the read. I wonder if you could just assume that your articulation is naturally good, and try reading with a little more focus on flow. For instance, “conflicts of interest” in the first sentence sounds maybe slightly over-articulated, with the glottal stops at the beginning of both “of” and “interest.” It gives the read a bit of a choppy feel. I hear some of that throughout the read. Your pacing overall is good, but I think some of your pauses could be shorter, or eliminated altogether. For example, at “…the interests of the company, and NOT for our own…” the pitch drops off at the comma at the end of the word “company,” and the pause is very long (similar to the comma at “between personal gain, and company obligations,” et al.). Going back to that first sentence: if you could make the rest of the read sound as personal and natural as the first five or so words of the first sentence, I think it would be a substantial improvement. By the end of the read, it sounds to my ear less like I’m being advised or instructed, and more like I’m being scolded or admonished. Maybe the rather assertive articulation has something to do with this? But I think it would also be good to be attentive to pitch variation, and to maintain the sense that you’re talking to someone — maybe someone you know. It’s a serious text, but I think it’s still OK for the read to be friendly and relatable. I hope this is helpful! Keep up the good work!
Hi Don! I love your voice. The first clip was very up and down in terms of pitch which made it sound sing-song like, but your second one wasn’t, which is great! Also, it sounds like you are from the tri-state area, which I am too, and we both have that issue with the vowels being very NY or New England sounding! Other than that, your choices are awesome!

I really like the tone of your voice – you sound warm, professional, and easy to understand. If I could offer one piece of feedback it would be that it sounds as though you’re over-enunciating and over-emphasizing a lot of words. It definitely helps with clarity, but at the expense of sounding natural and relaxed. I think maybe focusing on the sentence thought as a whole rather than word by word may help you add some flow. Great work!!
