    a couple more practice recordings – working more on the “who” in these since they aren’t quite worded like I’d have a conversation with someone. I know the “p’s” are popping a bit. Will have to come up with a solution for that. Thanks for your feedback!

      Hi, Krista, explainer scripts can sometime be very tricky. your words are very clear, the scripts though, needs to be a bit more conversational.

    Your diction is impeccable and your tone is absolutely lovely. I’ll give the note as it was given to me, find your emotional connection to each bit of text, really visualize who you are talking to about it, and live in it. You find that natural pace at the end of Pilsbury with “let the baking begin!” I would personally love to hear the Aspen piece again. Your sincerity and timbre is suited for it but I want to hear you visualize what you’re selling.

      Sorry y’all. I thought I clicked “reply” specifically on the post I wanted to provide feedback on and cannot figure out why it is posting as a separate comment. Please forgive this elderly millennial for her technological awkwardness.

    Taking a stab at something more character focused. Done on voice memo on iphone, so not looking for technical notes at this time. Thank you in advance!

      Hi Shelly, Wow! Very impressed by your readings and voice variety. I found Villain and Fairy believable in your characters. I felt the “realness” in the beginning of Heartache but after the emotional start it felt more “read” the 2nd half. Tollbooth was fun and I like the character voice you chose for the little man and the difference between the two voices. Enjoyed listening!

      You have such a naturally bright and playful tone to your voice. This suits really well for the facetious nature of the Durex ad and and child energy of the sesame street ad. I’d recommend playing with as many extremes as you can to match the stark variety of pieces you’ve chosen. Whatever tone you think appropriate for the text, go to whatever is the highest extreme of that and then dial yourself back bit by bit but you may find your perfect read is in that hyperbolized play. On a more technical note, the energy and enthusiasm you bring to each piece is engaging, so definitely keep that and apply as appropriate, but sometimes can sound choppy and like you are reading. And even more technical, I noticed dropping of some of your t sounds at the end of words (maybe a regionalism, but I noticed it specifically in the “vacation” read with the word “out”)

    Hi all! Looking for some feedback on a few reads. I recorded on my phone so ignore the audio quality. Thanks in advance!

      Hi, the volume on your recordings is way too low, could not make out what you were saying.

      Great reads. I liked the first and third the most; the middle one felt like you were reading a bit more.

    Hi 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 🙂

      Hi 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.

      Hi 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?

    Hello 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!!

      Hello-

      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.

        Thank you so much for your feedback Tracy! I’ll definitely take your advice about slowing down a bit at the end of my sentences so it can come out clearer 🙂

      Hi 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.

    Good 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

      Hello, 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.

      Shelly, 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.
