Script 1 (Commercial): Peet’s Coffee
Characters like Marie. She’s a character. She does ballet. Professionally. Because character. That’s what we’re about. Alfred Peet. Now, there was a character. He brought us craft roasted. Us, as in America. You. Me. Diane. Diane’s friend. At Peet’s, we source the best beans. We roast them. We brew them. We make great coffee. We’re Peet’s.

Script 2 (Commercial): Advil
Muscle aches? Nothing is proven more effective or longer lasting than Advil. For long-lasting relief of muscle aches, count on Advil. In a recent clinical study, Advil was found to work better than Tylenol in relieving the pain of sore muscles the day after exercise. No wonder doctors recommend Advil for muscle aches more than any other non-prescription brand. ADVIL — Advanced medicine for pain.

Hey Tim! All good, this is a great place to learn! There are also some really awesome Facebook groups to join to get feedback or advice on audio quality like VOpreneur or something. I think something that is useful is copy and pasting the script with a few mark ups. Hope that’s ok! I’m going to copy and paste the Advil script here with most of the places you paused or micro-paused. When you pause within a sentence you break up the copy in an unnatural way. This makes it sound like you are reading, because we never speak like this in real life. Here is your script with most of the pauses in there:

Try it again and don’t pause between the sentences. Another idea is for you to literally sing the sentence and note that there are no breaks in what you are saying. Then bring it back to talking again and try to keep it as smooth – never closing the back of your throat. Connecting words and avoiding pauses within sentences will help you to sound more natural. Then you need to think about connecting to the copy emotionally and think about who you are talking to and all that good “acting” stuff 🙂
I hope this is helpful!

A real woman is a man’s best friend.
She will never stand him up and never let him down.
She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.
She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret.
She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.
She will make sure he always feels as though he’s the most handsome man in the room and will enable him to be the most confident, s**y, seductive, and invincible. . .No wait… Sorry… I’m thinking of beer.
That’s what beer does…
Never mind!

As I prepare for my demo, I was told in an earlier comment that they couldn’t hear a few of my demo character samples. Turns out that after an accident, that my microphone was moved the wrong way.
So, I fixed and reset my home studio.
Please feel free to leave feedback on the performance. Also, let me know if I’m more audible than before, and if you can hear and understand what my character is saying.
Thanks

Congratulations on winning the election, Mr. President. You know, I got you elected so I could get those weapons contracts. I don’t know if it’s slipped your mind, but I’m through being patient with you. I will expose you as the fraud you’ve always been. -

Cosmos
Welcome to the planet earth.
A place of blue nitrogen skies, oceans of liquid water, cool forests, soft meadows;
A world positively rippling with life.
From the cosmic perspective, it is, for the moment, unique.
The only world on which we know with certainty that the matter of the cosmos has become alive, and aware.
There must be many such worlds scattered through space, but our search for them begins here, with the accumulated wisdom of the men and women of our species, acquired at great cost, over a million years.

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting to the feedback forum. Here are some narration scripts from the library I’ve recorded. I’m still getting familiar with Audacity, so if you have any pointers/tips on how I could’ve edited better, I’m all ears! Thanks!

In the first recording it sounded like you were too far away from the microphone, with a minor hum. The 2nd recording was louder. The good news is that I was able to hear you better. The bad news was that I heard a louder hum in the background. I would speak with an engineer about Audacity recordings and work on building your home studio,

Here’s another script. This is probably the longest script I’ve done so I had to record paragraph by paragraph. Is my tone consistent throughout? Does my editing still allow the script to flow from beginning to end? How about the recording setup, is it still working well? Any help is appreciated.

:Your tone was constant and the same throughout. As for your setup, there’s a humming sound that I’m hearing when you aren’t speaking. Good job, overall. Since this sounds more like a commercial advertisement, you may want to try performing it again with more enthusiasm in your voice: i.e. when you say “Don’t be stuck in life, love, work – or anything! Try Weelearn for yourself today.
Weelearn – learning through watching”, it sounds like whoever wrote the script is happy about what they are advertising.
hope this was helpful

I did this script some months ago and I wanted to try it again. How was my tone, pitch, tempo and recording setup? Also There are two recordings and I’d appreciate feedback on which sounded better. #1 was constructed of the script’s multiple phrases that I did different takes of, while #2 was one careful take of the whole script in one go. Thanks for the feedback.
