    • As the leaves begin to turn, so do our thoughts to brisk fall days, and cool autumn leaves. This fall, we’re all about living in layers; the layers of your clothing, and the layers of your life.

    • At Eddie Bauer, living in layers allows you to be comfortable indoors, outdoors, and in every aspect of your day. It means easier transitions from work to lying low at home, or getting away on weekends.

      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!

      Great work! Nice energy and tone on both reads, especially the second.

      Great job overall!! You have a really nice energy about your voice. At the start of the Glade though I didn’t hear that until the end. It went from one mood to another. The ending was fantastic. The second read was wonderful!

      I really love your voice, but I get lost in the read. It all seems to run together with nothing to keep me interested in the product. And each line seems to be something you could say as a line by itself. If it is supposed to be connected then should hear a flow into each new sentence verse a sound of ending. I hope that makes sense.

I’ve redone the Disney ad and have two more solid ones to work with I feel like. Need to know if I feel connected, that it feels conversational and not a read.

    Howdy! I’m currently developing my commercial chops with the aim of recording my demo in June. Feel free to have a listen to these samples and let me know what you think. Thanks!

    Commercial 1: Ziploc
    Only Ziploc brand bags have a unique interlocking zipper to lock in freshness in a way no
    other bag can. When it comes out this fresh, you know it went in a Ziploc bag. Ziploc. We’ve
    got a lock on freshness.

    Commercial 2: Fidelity
    Powerful sector research. Education and tools. Expert insight, cutting edge ideas, and 30 years of sector fund investing experience. Fidelity Investments. Go to Fidelity Investments.com /sectors.

      Hey There!

      Ziploc and Fidelity are both great reads. I hear some hesitancy that smooths out in Ziploc read. It could be a bit more up beat as well. Very nicely done overall.

    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.

      Hey there, sounds like a fun read! I’m assuming it’s for some animation work, or possibly a children’s audiobook? Defining the intended use will help in directing your delivery to make sure it’s format-appropriate. You definitely sound like you have the ability to voice work aimed at a younger audience, so kudos there!

      Great read, love the friendly/casual tone! Maybe try slowing down a little bit so I can hear the offer a bit better

      Nice natural read! Maybe consider emphasizing the benefits, like “just $51 dollars/waive…/free…” to highlight why the listener should take action now with this offer rather than wait for another time to consider it.

    This is a testimonial about an investment company called IINToo, which offers people with the funds to invest, alternative methods of investing. The point with a testimonial is to sound very natural, like yourself just talking to the person recording. If it sounds acted, the listener will tune out and think it’s a fake. You folks, of course are privy to the knowledge that it’s a fake, but don’t tell anyone else – it’s our secret. Feedback is welcome.

    I saw this and kind of fell in love with it. It’s half way between commercial and narration. Feedback is welcome.

      Shmuel, Great job on this, sounds like you have acting experience! Most reads on this sound fake but what yours stands out with is simply your honesty in talking about yourself!
