Good Evening everyone, I wanted to get some feedback on a recording I did this week for Narration. Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
As the tide covers the dock with just an inch or two of water these Tiger Sharks are making their move. Nurse sharks can sometimes propel themselves onto docks when going after scraps of fish. It’s a learned behavior, and evidence that sharks may come on land to feed. Is that also what these sharks are attempting to do?

That was great! Good job for your first time. You definitely got the relaxing vibe down and your natural delivery has nice pacing to it. The only thing I noticed was the words “you will” in the sentence “during this breathing medication, you will focus on your breath” sound rushed together so I’d just enunciate that clearer.

Hi Mary,
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to both readings, but I felt that the second reading was the one that seemed the more natural, the more convincing. It was almost as if you were addressing an audience that you could actually see. Sounds a little bizarre, I am sure, but it seemed that there was more of a connection between you and an audience in your second reading and that that translated into a more natural flow, with emphasis falling where your instincts told you, and suggestion of a script in your hands pushed to one side.
Thank you for sharing.
John

Hi Dante, very nice! I really like your nice deep voice and warm delivery – great clarity and pacing. I like scripts 1 and 3 best for you. The second script felt more like you were reading to me, not sure why that was exactly, maybe just more emphasized enunciation than the other two? The other two sounded more natural and with good inflection levels. Keep up the good work!

I believe the volume was loud on my end in listening to your recording. You can always normalize down to correct that unless you were redlining when recording. Otherwise your delivery is great, I would just back off on the mic slightly to avoid too many mouth noises, unless that was the volume issue? Ancient mysteries was a little too stiff, so relax maybe and try a more conversational delivery? Hope that helps and good luck!

Good read, great tone and pacing and your voice is just right for this copy. I’m probably just nitpicking here but in your 2nd line, maybe shorten the pauses between, maintained, fixed or replaced, so that it flows a little more smoothly. And maybe add a little more weight to “million” in your fourth line. Nice job!

Justin Boots
Hi, I’m Pecos Red for Justin Boots. Ever heard the term: “All Hat and no cattle”? That’s the problem with a lot of boots I know. Sounds weird, but the thing of it is that most boots don’t do the same things your feet do, like expand and contract when you take a step. Most boots are rigid, which is why your “dawgs commence to barkin’” and get all swole up, from yer boot-heels a wanderin’.At Justin Boots, our technology is a simple idee that comes right out of the way your foot works. It’s how we build ever’ boot we make. So it expands and flexes the way your foot does when it’s out ridin’ the range, or just boot-scootin’ out at Billy Bob’s. Justin Boots Quality. It’s a DANG good thing! I’m Pecos Red, remindin’ ya: never kick a cow chip on a hot day! Justin Boots. Don’t wear ‘em. Use ‘em!

Hi everyone, I am working on two more reads for a commercial demo. I would appreciate your comments on any of it. Also how is the sound quality? Thank you in advance!

Hey Ed!
I agree with Tom in regards to giving more direction to the words “That Look”, basically just having a stronger opinion of what you think that look is (pure delight, ecstasy, etc). I also agree with visualizing what you see a bit more. You have a great resonance to your voice and definitely have the relaxing vibe down.
This may just be more personal preference, but I think after you say the first line “There are over a thousand families that need our help” (i.e. the problem), the second line could use more of a feeling of hope and be a little more uplifting. It sounds a little somber, which is perfect for the first line but maybe there’s a way to lighten up the next line since it’s a great thing they’re offering, while still getting the message across. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, Ed. Nice reads.
On the first, I think your easy-going sound is great for this. I like where it’s going. I would keep working more on envisioning the scene and painting the picture. Do you have an image in mind for “That look.” and what that look does to you? A pronunciation note: VRBO is pronounced “verbo”. (I learned this listening to some commercials on YouTube.)
In the second read, I like the sound of compassion without overdoing the pathos. That said, I feel you can add a bit more pathos to “you can give back to these heroes who gave up so much for you”. It’s a careful balance. You don’t want to lay a guilt trip, but you want us to feel they have earned this. Watch the pauses. I think phrases can be better connected. Ex: “by providing them / with mortgage-free homes” A pronunciation note: you said “Tunnel to Towers” at the start but “Tunnels to Towers” at the end.
Audio sounded good to me. I didn’t pick up any room noise.
