Hey everyone, I’ve done some more recording. This was the first script I ever uploaded and I wanted to do it again with my new setup. I appreciate any feedback on my performance, but in particular do you think it sounds consistent from beginning to end? How about my recording setup? Thanks.

What’s so special about Wendy’s new Bacon Swiss Burger? Bacon. Special Sauce. Swiss cheese. More bacon. All on a toasted kaiser bun. It’s the only bacon swiss burger with three strips of bacon! Mmmm. Doesn’t that sound delicious? WENDY’S NEW BACON SWISS BURGER. Come on in now and grab one while they’re hot!-
Hi Ryan! I really like the tone and texture of your voice. Of these three readings, Wendy’s was my favorite. I felt like there was more variety, and I could really hear the excitement! I think in the Gameboy script there’s a nice opportunity for some contrast between the first two lines, which could grab the listener’s interest. Nice work!

Well, I have to say Ryan you have a special voice that I’m sure many would love to hear in commercials. You have a clear strike zone with sarcasm, humor, and excitement. The way you enunciated the words in all three scripts was good, however I think your tempo sounded very forced and choppy. This in turn makes the “tone” sound inconsistent throughout. A good read has to sound as if your speaking to someone and trying to woo them. Listeners of this I feel would more likely be eyeing the exit sign… My advice, listen to actual commercials and when reading, pretend your saying the words to someone in person. Hope this helps.

Hey man, I love your voice and I’m do like the tempo and pitch of your performance. The tone you adopted though sounds the same in each script. I think only the first script sounds good with that. Consider your audience and let that determine what type of performance you should adopt. Also, I distinctly heard you pausing midsentence and it sounded like you were struggling to pronounce certain words like “ancient” and “their.” You must leave pausing for periods, commas, question marks etc. I hope this helps.

Your performance is magnificent! You adopted a great tone and it was consistent throughout the entirety of each script. The words you hit were spot on and I love the pace of your tempo. Only things I noticed were your pausing in the middle of a sentence. Every coach will tell you to leave pauses for full stops and commas. Also, your recording sounds a little echoey so I would work on modifying your setup. Keep up the good work!

Hey, any feedback is appreciated. Thank you
“We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world. We give little thought to the machinery that generates the sunlight that makes life possible, to the gravity that glues us to an Earth that would otherwise send us spinning off into space, or to the atoms of which we are made and on whose stability we fundamentally depend. Except for children (who don’t know enough not to ask the important questions), few of us spend much time wondering why nature is the way it is; where the cosmos came from, or whether it is always here; if time will one day flow backward and effects precede causes; or whether there are ultimate limits to what humans can know.”

You did great Jason! You had a consistent tone, you hit all the right words, and the tempo was fitting. Only thing I would suggest is you sounded like you were trying to finish the script too quickly and it made you say the words wrong. Other than that, well done.

Hello everyone! Here are some Narration recordings I did for homework. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hello!
Great job on these!
With the first one, I enjoyed the pacing. I do think you can go even deeper into the emotion. For example the words “please, please!” I didn’t necessarily believe you were actually begging. But the read is totally in the right direction.
For the second, I think you can speed up the pacing just slightly. Watch the micro pauses between “dogs” and “would walk themselves” and “algebra” and “would really come in handy.” Aside from that, I think it is a solid read!
Cheers

Hey Don,
The pacing is great on this one, your voice is very suited for this type of read. A good resonance to set the tone as warm and welcoming.

Hi Don,
I think all three of your scripts sound so professional. I was concentrating on pitch, pace, and tone and simply have nothing to offer other than praise.
Regards,
John

You know when you take your shoes off and have to scratch your feet? Chances are you have fungus on your feet. While you’re running around all day in your sneakers, your foot becomes warm and sweaty. This is the human environment fungus love the most. Imagine millions of tiny fungi crawling around, feeding off all the slimy stuff in between your toes? That’s right – toe cheese is dinner for fungi. As they bug around eating, they’re also dying, breeding and pooping, which could irritate your skin, making you want to scratch it. Scratching feels good, but washing your feet regularly is better than allowing your foot to be a cafeteria for millions of fungi. To find out more yucky stuff, go to DiscoveryKids.com now.-
Hello, I really love your voice. I felt captivated by the tone of your voice and the pitch. I have nothing but positive things to say about your VO!
