Hello All! This audio is not edited at all I am just looking for feedback on the following:
-Valuing supporting words
-Avoiding Glottal stops
-Conversational sounding
-Look for lists and their flow
-Joined inflected words-
Incredible job! I thought all of them were great (particularly Cancun and Podium). If I’m being picky, I would say that that the first 10 seconds of Annie E. Casey could be a little more conversational and with less gaps between each list item. I think you’re valuing the right words, but I wasn’t quite sure how the sentence was structured until I saw the script. Otherwise, they were wonderful!

I like your Podium read, good delivery on lists and variations! Delivery has a tone of excitement to it that can excite The Listener interest!

Tours & Travelogues: Cancun
Rulers of the ancient Mayan civilizations came here to see the beauty of this land … a place where the turquoise Caribbean Sea caresses the beautiful sandy beaches. They came to partake a view reserved then only for royalty. Today, more than 1,500 years later, this same spot is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. This is Cancun. Located at the northeast tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun is easily accessible from major gateway cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Just under a 2-hour flight from Houston or Miami. Visitors will find an abundance of sports in Cancun. Jet skiing and water skiing are popular for the novice and pro alike.
Documentaries: Hemingway
For over twenty years, Ernest Hemingway spent virtually every fall and winter at Sun Valley, Idaho. Although his legendary haunts were Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain and Cuba, Idaho was his true home. The wild mountain crags, the sunny meadows were his nirvana. The hunting and fishing were always good there. The canoe trip down the Silver Creek or a trek up a pass of the Pahsimeroi (Paw-sim-er-roy) Range unfailingly yielded fresh game for the table. Papa and his fiction thrived on the alternating sessions of high adventure and novel writing. He presented himself to the world as a man’s man, and in both his published work and his very public behavior he established a heroic image of himself as an athlete and a sportsman, a worldly-wise reporter, a battle-scarred soldier, an aficionado of the Spanish bullfight, and a hard-drinking, hard-living man, who in fact, was a terribly tortured soul. This is the story of Hemingway.Non-Profit: Annie E. Casey Foundation
Every child deserves to grow up with opportunities to learn and thrive. With his skills, her talents, each is a potential leader, a contributor, a productive citizen. How kids grow up will determine their success as adults. But sadly, more than one in five children in America are growing up in poor families and poor neighborhoods, where the chance to thrive is anything but a given. The Annie E. Casey Foundation is dedicated to changing that.Corporate-Explainer and Training: Podium 60s
At Podium, we work with over fifty-five thousand local businesses. And while they range from tire shops to jewelry stores and medical practices, every Podium customer has one thing in common: they solve problems.
These new challenges are no exception. They’ve used Podium’s suite of messaging tools to continue to do everything they do great. They’ve stayed in touch through text, connected remotely with website visitors through text, collected contactless payments through text, and even started video chats through text.
And they’ve been doing it all with messaging tools—tools that work just as well from six feet as they do from sixty miles. They’ve maintained a personal touch, even when they can’t be in-person.
See for yourself how over fifty-five thousand businesses have been able to adapt with Podium. Go to Podium dot com slash starter to get started for free. That’s podium dot com slash starter.E-Learning and Education: Biogenetic Law
Commonly summarized as “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” (on-TA-jeh-nee re-cah-PIT-you-lates fill-AH-jeh-nee), biogenetic law posits that the embryonic stages in the development of an individual (its ontogeny) repeat the evolutionary history of its ancestors (its phylogeny). A corollary of the biogenetic law is the idea that new evolutionary features are typically added at the end of development, with formerly adult, or “terminal” stages gradually being compressed into progressively earlier stages (or sometimes being eliminated outright).

I like your voice, but you probably want to work on slowing down while keeping the same energy in tandem with taking time to differentiate between each aspect of the sunglasses.
Hd vision lenses that cut through the glare and give you high definition color and-
clarity
. At edge we also de-emphasis the salesman voice when possible. Statistically people now currently respond to a down to earth neighborly tone more than a high energy sales pitch. There’s always exceptions, but learning how to do a normative voice will be essential.
I don’t know what sales market you’ll be shooting for, but if it’s in the US you might consider the Accent elimination course Edge offers, if nothing else to just be aware of what people will notice about your voice.
Keep at it if it’s what feeds you though. You’re not bad.

Hey Rich
I like it! GREAT character voice could be used for lots of things. Try some more “Good Ole Boy” spots and include this “guy” in your bag of tricks. Most demos I hear sound like the same guy over and over with his mid-west “neutral” accent. You’ve got chops. Hope you’re ringing the bell with some casting directors. Best luck to you!

Campbell’s Home Cookin’
What do Campbell’s kids eat when they’re not kids anymore? Introducing new Chicken and Pasta with Roasted Garlic from Campbell’s. Imagine perfectly diced chicken simmered in rich chicken broth and seasoned with robust notes of roasted garlic ….all brimming with crisp garden celery, fresh carrots, and deliciously plump penne and rotini. Home Cookin’ Soup that’s a lot more seasoned. But then….so are you. Home Cookin’ Campbell’s. Good for the body. Good for the Soul.-

Amazing job! really really outstanding!
Only two things I noticed for posterity (and this is just me being neurotic and sometimes picking up on non-issues), is:
The second line “Introducing new Chicken and Pasta with Roasted Garlic from Campbell’s”
You read ‘Roasted garlic’ with like a slight extra emphasis that changed the dynamic just a pinch. made it sound a little more like a seperate item, rather than a flavor of the chicken & pasta.Then later at: “[…] deliciously plump penne and rotini. [X] Home Cookin’ Soup that’s a lot more seasoned”
At the X, it feels like the sentences were pushed too close together in the editing process.Both are complaints subjective and honestly not very noticable overall. I’d absolutely hire you based off of this.

Hi All! Looking for any feedback on this read for my narration demo. Thanks!
Music is a language just like you would read aloud from a book. The symbols you will see on pages of sheet music have been used for hundreds of years. They represent the pitch, speed, and rhythm of the song they convey, as well as expression and techniques used by a musician to play the piece. Think of the notes as the letters, the measures as the words, the phrases as the sentences and so forth. In the following video, we will explore the basics of learning to read music, first by going through the staff and the two clefs, and then the notes on the staff.

A THIEF ACCUSED
M-me? steal the gem M’lord? laughable, really! I’ll admit, I’ve done some petty burglary in the past… But! but, I served my time for that! These preposterous accusations… do you really think I’d be capable of such a heist? P-please M’lord you must reconsider, please? You can’t be serious M’lord you must understand! No! Please, have mercy!
Hi! I’m trying my voice out on a script that is outside of my normal delivery. Please let me know what you think.

It was good and importantly clear. For something that’s out of your normal repitoire, I think it’s worth honing and fleshing out. That being said, it sounds a little stilted, like an impression of the accent instead of the casual accent itself, which in your case I think will easily iron out by repeated use. If you want a point of reference, you can find a youtube video of the VA for Hermes from the cartoon Futurama. Phil LaMarr is amazing.

Your voice sounds great! This read sounded choppy I would try sounding more conversational so that it doesn’t seem like your reading. And the pauses for punctuation sometimes aren’t necessary. If you interpret the script by determining the tone, who is listening, where they are listening, and why they are listening. Also what I’ve just learned to really get the conversational sound, is to identify glottal stops.

This read is leaps and bounds better than your Cabela’s read I personally think. I really enjoyed listening to it and how smooth it was. I don’t know if you have read anything or had jobs before, but you sound almost identical to https://youtu.be/3PgCiEw9OSQ this Bush’s Baked Beans Gentleman! Way to go!
