ParticipantI thought your tone was perfect for the John Deere ad and sounded pretty d**n good to me. I would say the same tone maybe doesn’t work as well for the cool FM ad but still sounds good. Both ads sound really good but voice/tone works better for the JDeere ad is my point.

ParticipantYou’ve got a wonderful voice! I would say to focus on being nice and smooth throughout the read. It helps to kinda look a head a few words while you read so you don’t get all tripped up. Another thing is try and incorporate some tone while you read. Pick an way you want the read to sound and really try and bring it to life. You’ve got the voice man. Good luck!

ParticipantHello. Great voice, cbadloc! I would consider taking out the pauses bt “delivers” and “great,” “seafood” and “and,” “nuggets” and “in,” and “box” and “for.” They make it difficult to track the content and context of the message.
You sound naturally talented, so these minor suggestions should be easy for you to implement if you feel like they would be helpful.
great job!

ParticipantGood afternoon folks! Just posting another on, seeking feedback on all aspects. This one was kind of a docu-promo for a sport called “Skijor” – basically skiing behind a horse, with a twist to promote Magnum truck racks. The only direction was “real person, believable, conversational”. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and feedback on any and aspects of the read. T

ParticipantVoice and tone sound really good though not sure if it would be considered “conversational”, but I’m not an expert. I would say “Meet Owen Larue” could be used with a different inflection perhaps? Again, I’m not an expert so it could be perfect for all I know.

ParticipantGraceson- First of all, I would say the sound of your voice is very nice and easy to listen to. Your pace is very consistent throughout. To make this sound more conversational and natural you might try varying your pace, possibly talking more quickly in some spots. I totally understand what you are saying about understanding what the read is asking for. I feel like I know this too, but then when I listen sometimes I have missed the mark. I know with more listening and practicing we will both get better at this. 🙂

ParticipantWould love hearing your thoughts on my first try at a read. My coach says I’m a glottal stop queen. Haha. Let me know. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

ParticipantHi Melody! Love your voice- it strikes me as having a clear and professional sound. I’m sneaking a quick listen from work, so I didn’t notice glottal stops 😉 but I really found you super easy and pleasant to listen to with nothing annoying that jumped out at me :). Ha ha- I have a feeling you are going to be demoted from your queen status soon.

ParticipantWell done melody! Good pitch, tone, tempo and volume. Sounds like your recording space will need a bit of attention, but your voice and read are great!

ParticipantHi all!
I am really struggling with my tone doing commercial voice overs. I understand how tone works but I am having some issues applying the actual tone to the work i.e the tone requested is not what I am delivering. Just wondering what tone you all get from this. Thank you!
Note: I do know there is an echo in my room I just have not finished building my setup yet. And yes my editing skills are garbo right now but that is a battle for another day.Attachments:

ParticipantHi Graceson. It’s a good read. Something I’m trying to work on for commercial scripts, is focusing on Acting vs. Reading. Obviously, it’s important that we read the words right. But once we know the script dialogue, as voice actors, I think we have to try to delve into what the script is trying to communicate, and to who? And then identify what emotions we think would/should be attached to that message. I think that’s where tone (emotion) comes in. Any script will sound much different if read with the emotions of “horror” or “contempt” than it would if read with “Joy” or “Ambition”. The script for the read you posted is a tough one, because the product and the message itself is a bit “clinical”, so kinda tough to attach emotion to it. But for promoting a product that’s about helping you attain better cleanliness and hygiene, you could perhaps try incorporating a tone that says “Hey, i’ve got a secret to tell you.” It’s not easy, but it can make a difference. Acting vs. Reading is an ongoing struggle for me, but I think does make it more fun. Keep it up!

ParticipantI think your tone and pacing are good. I don’t focus on editing or audio effects so much as listening to delivery. You sound very close to natural.
