ParticipantThank you everyone for the valuable feedback. I was in fact playing around with my mic placement and background noise reduction, so Sarah’s tidbit on my volume was VERY useful.

ParticipantHey Dante! Yes yes yes that voice of yours is fabulous! I would double check your gain level because I found the volume was loud on all three… also I think you’ve got the announcer style down pat. I would play with your second copy, the Excedrin, and try it in a more casual friend to friend conversational style. Just to play and to give yourself a little more variety in the style of read. The announcer style worked well for the type of spot the first and third would be. Great job!

ParticipantYou’ve got a great voice. All three reads, though, were essentially the same tone/emotion (let’s hear some range, I know you have it) and all three felt “announcery”, as opposed to the more conversational tone that casting directors are looking for right now. Reel in the energy (the tone in these would be perfect for a sports commercial) and let’s hear what you can do. Looking forward to hearing more!

ParticipantHi Dante. Great voice. On the first one it flows nicely. I hear a hint of maybe a New York accent on the word exercise. Thats not a bad thing of course. It just seemed slightly different from the overall neutral accent you were using. The second one: perfect. Wouldn’t touch it. The third seems to get a little clunky on “athletes, stars and trainers”. Like it was edited with “stars and trainers” added after. At any rate that part seems like it could flow a little more, give each one their moment in the spotlight so to speak.

ParticipantGood job, Rob. Your words are very clear, but I felt like the delivery was almost a little too slow to be engaging. It’s a fine line that I am working on too. Try it out with picking up the pace a little bit and I think it will come together for you great.

ParticipantHere’s another script. What do you think of my tone? Did I achieve my goal of sounding confident, genteel, and excited?

ParticipantI think it sounds confident and excited, but I think it would be good to sound a little more relaxed and at ease especially towards the end. The ending sounds a bit forced. I would relax more but keep the friendliness.

ParticipantWelcome aboard Ryan. You have a great voice and the tempo you read at was very well-paced. However, I’m not so sure about the words you were hitting and the tone for both of your reads sounds like you’re either reading off a page or just not that interested in the product your selling… When reading a script, imagine you are speaking to the audience face-to-face, or pretend someone’s in front of you and the script is your actual speech. One the most important hurdles a Voice Actor has to overcome is not sounding like a reader. VO is primarily conversational. Hope this helps.

ParticipantI am not sure that this is your real voice… I’m sure listeners would spot a phoney and be turned off. You brought the script to life very well, but you have to use your own voice in voice acting, especially for commercials. You’re offering production companies a service only you can provide.

ParticipantTim,
That is my own voice. That is a Character type accent. Through the years I have worked with a many a Cajuns and can do a decent one. I ran across that script in the library. I disagree about just using your own natural voice for acting. I think it shows a range in what you can do. thanks

ParticipantHi,
I’m working on some “character” demos and would appreciate feedback from the group. The demos are “Cranky old lady”, supposed to be humorous, and “The Evil Queen”, hopefully not humorous.
Thanks for comments.

ParticipantI love both of your takes. Neither sound too over-the-top and I could easily see them coming from other characters. Well done.
