ParticipantHello kind folks! Uploading a few takes of commercial reads I’m working on. I really appreciate the time and any feedback you have.
All the best,
John
PSA ON ENVIRONMENT
A key to reducing waste is to shop wisely and purchase only what you need
You can also buy household products with less packaging
And when it comes to food opt for loose produce
So reduce, then recycle the rest
The more you know
Aspen
At the gate the everyday vanishes
Here your thoughts are a little clearer
Your appetite for life a little sharper
This mountain, as captivating under summer flowers as it is under snow
Aspen is a one-of-a-kind resort
Unhurried Carefree And cozy like an Alpine Village under a starry night
Ambien
There is a rhythm to life
We sleep at night and wake in the morning
It’s the sleep cycle that helps keep us in a healthy balance
But for millions of Americans sleep doesn’t always come easily
For them there’s AMBIEN

ParticipantHi, John. Some nice reads here. Words are clear. For the most part, you avoided unnecessary pauses. The energy in your read is great for the PSA. You had a similar energy or tone for Aspen and Ambient, which, in my opinion, calls for a calmer energy. Aspen feels like it calls for an easy, relaxed, dreamy, leave your troubles at the door and relax tone. If you haven’t, find a person you’re talking to. What do you want them to feel? Where are you while saying this. Paint the picture for them. The line “This mountain, as captivating…” has unique punctuation. It’s kind of like “This mountain (man-oh-man) as captivating…
For Ambien, this may be just my interpretation, but an ad that promotes sleep should sound calming and relaxing. There’s an interesting arc to the city you can play with more. 1) this is nice. 2) this is nice. 3) and this is nice. 4) this is bad, 5) but this will make it good.
If you are also looking for feedback on sound quality, the audio has a lot of echo. You’ll have to treat your recording space. Are you working with anyone to help with that?
Thanks for sharing, John.

ParticipantThis was taken from the script of a movie about Columbus. Trying or practicing narration to go along with a storyboard! Any thoughts are welcome. Oh and this is the first part thats why it ends so abruptly, Thanks.
All sit beside her. TREASURER SANCHEZ takes a document
and starts to read aloud.On screen the words: GRANADA – SPAIN – 1500
SANCHEZ
Your Majesty would wish to know the true facts concerning the island of
Hispanola, our first settlement in the New World, and the activities
there of your servant, Christopher Columbus, Admiral of the Ocean Sea,
Governor of that Island. You will remember with what hopes and promises
he beguiled us — the truth is that he now presides over a state
of chaos, degradation and madness beyond imagining.SANCHEZ punctuates each word carefully.
SANCHEZ
From the beginning, Columbus proved himself incapable of managing the
affairs of the island. He appointed his brothers to important positions,
at once injuring the pride and dignity of the nobles who had gone
with him. He promised to build a city, the City of Isabel, named
after Your Majesty. What he actually built was nothing but a
collection of huts, and that in the wrong place, for all of it was
easily swept away by rain and mud. Is that not so, Brother Buyl?The PRIEST nods.
BROTHER BUYL
Yes, Your Honor.SANCHEZ
He promised gold. Not finding the
easy quantities he promised,
Columbus commanded each Indian to
pay an annual tribute. Most being
unable to, they were barbarously
punished, against the express wish
of Your Christian Majesties…Attachments:

Beginner paddle boarders should choose a wider, longer and thicker board. This will offer the greatest stability to learn the paddle board basics on a flat body of water. As you gain experience, you can progress to a smaller paddle board. The most common board shape for beginners is an All-Around paddle board. However, there are a few different types and shapes of paddle boards to consider.

ParticipantI liked the pace and clarity of the words. Very natural- the only thing I thought was the word ‘however’ was a little rushed without enough of a pause.

ParticipantGood 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?

Good stuff, I would just try to get a little more variance in the pitch to keep it engaging throughout.

ParticipantThat 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.

ParticipantTotal newbie so not sure how much my opinion counts – but i liked your Ben &B Jerry’s one the best – your voice suited the style and I thought it sounded upbeat, convincing and personal.

John Trape
ParticipantHi 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.

ParticipantThanks for the feedback John! I tried this one many times before picking the top two. Super short script but so many ways to read it. Trying to find the line of appropriate energy, enthusiasm and naturalness for this type of script without being too over the top. Thanks again!

Participant1 & 3 you had more fun with whereas 2 was stiff and slightly choppy. It sounded as if you were reading. But you’re on the right track. Keep it up!

ParticipantHi 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!

ParticipantI 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!

ParticipantYou have a wonderful voice for this type of script. I would just slow it down slightly and obey the ellipses more , as that would further increase the synergy you have with the read. You highlighted the words appropriately.

ParticipantGreat read and nice pacing. The only suggestion I have is going down in pitch on the word factory. Right now it goes up and I think you want it more of a statement.
