ParticipantHi Looking for some feedback. Recordings were done on my phone at home so I’m more interested in creative vs technical feedback. I did three voices, Science, Meditation and Kids educational. I sincerely appreciate any notes 🙂

ParticipantHi Georgia! These were fun reads and I enjoyed the variety.
Science: Your first word got kinda scrambled so make sure to start strong right off the bat. Be mindful of articulating since the words are so tricky.
Meditation: I liked your tone for this one! However, as I was imagining following along, you seemed to be slightly too fast.
I liked your kids read as well–Your voice was warm and cheery. However, Some parts seemed a bit choppy with unnecessary micropauses.

ParticipantHi Tracy!
I like your voice. It’s very strong and compelling! I would say to be careful of overemphasis on certain words like “pushed” and “no” and “true” for example. Also maybe think of who your audience would be for this. What tone are you trying to exude?

ParticipantHello everyone!! I’m brand new to the voiceover community and would appreciate some feedback on some of my recordings. I’d really appreciate if the feedback would focus on my tone, pace and overall flow of my readings. Unfortunately my home studio is not up and running yet so I’m not looking for any technical feedback. I appreciate and look forward to hearing from you!!

ParticipantHello-
I wasn’t sure if there was a difference between the two recordings as the both seemed to be on the same topic but with different names. I enjoyed listening to the recordings. I found your tone calming and conversational. I would recommend slowing down just a bit at the ends of your sentences. One in particular I had to go back a few times to understand what you were saying “and back out of it.” Overall a good read.

ParticipantHi Keith. Your reads are technically sound. They were clear and well-paced with decent sound quality. However, they were a bit dry. As a narration, I was expecting to feel the doctor’s emotions. For instance, he was THE ONLY DOCTOR IN THE REGION, treating patients who HAD BEEN TURNED AWAY, working tirelessly DESPITE WARNINGS. (Caps are for emphasis, not me yelling).
The doctor is telling his story, he had to have felt something from this event.
Now that you’ve got the words out, lose yourself in the reading and paint us a picture of his emotional journey. (Think James Kirk, overacting in Star Trek)
Apply this to both reads.
I think you’re off to a good start.-

ParticipantGood evening!
I will take any feedback you all would like to provide, however my main focus is actually on the technical. I’m trying out my equipment and sound proofing so would love some help on that front (and still learning my DAW so I know I have a lot of work to do!)
Thank you in advance

ParticipantHello, I listened to your recording and I could not hear anything wrong technically. I am by no means an expert on this, but based on my little experience, it seems fine to me.

ParticipantShelly, very nice. Very crisp and clear with no plosives and a quality sound booth. Your Esses were clear as well. Your DAW sounds good to me, although an actual engineer may hear things differently.
Be sure to edit out the mouse clicks at the end.-

ParticipantHello everyone! I’m very new to the VO world and would love to have some feedback on my work! My setup isn’t great at the moment (I’m using a blue snowball and do have an echo because of the large room) but I’m looking into investing soon.
Any and all feedback is appreciated! I pulled this script from the script library on Edge. It’s the “Making Candy” script. Thank you!

ParticipantHello, the echo is most prominent. What I did with my studio pace which was very inexpensive, I used moving blankets. I bougut them from U-Haul for $10.00 each and covered my walls. I lowered my ceiling to 7 feet and covered it also with moving blankets. I have a complete padded space, that is totally dead. works fine for me.

ParticipantGreat job Emily. I like your enthusiasm and pacing. Some acoustical treatments in the room will go a long way for you.
It depends on the read, but try to be just a bit more natural sounding (like talking and not reading)
Nice first steps into the world of VO.

Toque
ParticipantHi all. Just posting here my submission to the last script reading contest. I’ve read through all of the overall feedback provided for everyone, but am having trouble picking out where I’m going wrong. Looking for some really brutally honest feedback here as to what I can do to make this better. Thanks for your help T.

ParticipantHi Toque!
First off, wanted to say you have a very nice voice! It sounds so professional and like it’d fit right at home with the material you worked with.
For me, it sounded a little fast and samey throughout tonal-wise. I wasn’t able to distinctly see the different products in my head before you gave us the next one, so I was a little confused on which features went with what price. I think giving each product a slight variation in tone might help set them apart easier if speed can’t be sacrificed (i’m not sure if you had a strict 15 second rule for the contest). That way it feels like you’re giving each product the attention it deserves, and ergo, you’re giving the consumer a way to separate them in their head and process the information easier.
I’m not sure if that’s the feedback you were looking for, but overall an amazing read!

ParticipantThank you so much Emily! I really appreciate the feedback. There was a 15 second limit, but your notes about tonal variation are great, and something I will keep in mind. Also maybe mastering the art of a quick read, without sounding rushed! Thanks so much again!

ParticipantHello! Was doing some video recording for work, and thought I’d record some VO for feedback! So here’s some snippets about my day job (or what would be my day job if Hollywood wasn’t so screwy at the moment…). Thoughts, comments, and such much appreciated! (Just on the words, not the audio quality. Just going off a Yeti in my open apartment.)

ParticipantGood Morning Suzanne!
Your enunciation is very good! There are times when you lose a T but otherwise, it’s pretty clear what words you’re saying. You also have a pleasant, friendly tone that is nice to listen to.
I would say the first five seconds of “colorist” is a bit fast, but really I think these are some good reads. Awesome job!

ParticipantYou definitely have a knack for this style. To get nit-picky because it’s fun to have something to work on, I’d challenge you to vary your phrasing and play with combining phrases into a single breathe. It isn’t choppy but I think you have space to smooth out and elongate some sentences. Also your pronunciation of the word “hand” stuck out to me twice. I don’t have the vocabulary to tell you exactly why, maybe the vowel is brighter/more nasal than the the rest of the read? Perhaps worth paying attention to.

ParticipantI like the Nissan read the most! It felt like a friend was speaking to me for sure. The Crayola read however, did feel very fast and like it was “put” together. Did you edit it that way? Overall, the clarity is nice and open.

ParticipantTalia, great job. Very fluent and well-paced delivery. Don’t try to be too perfect, especially with the Crayola read, unless you are specifically asked to. Let your humanity shine through a little. Also, be mindful of your plosives. There’s normally an indicator of the front of your mic. Try to set it more obliquely to the direction of your speaking and, of course, use a pop shield.
Again, great job!
