    Alright, I’ve got 3 performances today that I need feedback on. Specifically, I need performance feedback, not technical feedback. Thanks very much!

      Hi! I would work on slowing down your pace for both the Dominoes and the H&R block scripts. I also might take a second to write out who you are talking to. Where you are talking with this person, and why you are telling them about this. This helps to make the script sound more conversational. : )

    Hello! This is my first attempt to upload here and was looking for some creative feedback. I’m working on my pacing and diction, while trying to sound natural. Any comments appreciated!

      Hi Michelle,
      Here are my comments: Nice warm quality to your voice; easy to listen to. There is some sort of noise or pop on the “st” on the word Instagram. I think there is slightly too much time between the end of “help us complete the picture” and the beginning of “direct message us…” The words “direct message us to find out” are smushed together and sound more like “direct message justify”. Can you tamp down or shorten the “f” sound on the word Life at the end of the demo? All in all, good job! Regards, Elizabeth

        Hi, the Instagram script, your diction is excellent, the read is very conversational. The timing issues is not so much a problem, as we practice more, it will come into play. Keep up the good work.

    Hi,
    I’m submitting a short, playful dialogue between a grandmother and grandchild. My question for those who listen is: are the two voices clearly different and don’t sound like they’re being voiced by the same person? Any other feedback is welcomed.
    Regards,
    Elizabeth

      Hi! The two voices do sound very different and as though they are being voiced by different people.

        Hi, the voices do sound very different, most important to me is that the voices are very engaging. Great Job

    Practicing – looking for feedback. I’ve been trying to work on not having glottal stops and sounding more conversational, less “announcer”. Thanks for any suggestions.

      Hi, the tone you used for this script is right on the money. I think you can speed up the script a lit bit more. but all in all it was a good read. Very conversational and you brought out the meaning of the script.

      Hi, on the American express, you started of with one pace and then ended much slower. the beginning part had a very good pace.
      I thought the pacing on the Club Med was also very slow, I think you could pick up the pace a bit. I’m thinking this is a 30 second spot. Your recording was 39 secs.
      The diction is perfect, your read is very engaging.

        Hey Everyone! I am giving it another try with the take 1 and take 2. Going for conversational in both however my “who” changes. Do you hear a difference in the takes?

      I think that sounded really good. Your voice is very good for that type of commercial. I think towards the end the pace was a little different than at the beginning, but I thought it sounded professional. .

      If it is critique on how conversational your read sounds, you hit it on the head. The only problem is that your volume is too low.

      I thought it was a good read for sure. Not as “conversational” as maybe commercial sounding, but still a very good read!

      Hi! Nice work! For the Dr. Seuss narration, at times I thought the pacing was spot on, and at other times I thought you sped up just a bit. I thought your diction was clear except for one word right after Children still…. I couldn’t quite make out that word. : )
