ParticipantHi Erik, good read! This sounded good and authoritative with a lot of decisive statements, perfect for selling a car. Good genre for you. Good job!

ParticipantHey Erik! For some reason, I feel like the Campbells read sounds like how you normally sound, super conversational and natural, and this one felt like you were “putting on” a voice. Not sure if you know what I mean? I had the ability to listen to one read right after the other so I wonder what impression I would have had if I listened to this one on its own but that popped out to me after I listened to the first one.

ParticipantHey Erik!
I like the energy that you bring to this. You have a lot of popping plosives in your read, and it sounds like it might just be because of how close your mouth is to the mic. There are also a few moments where the volume is inconsistent, are you moving your head a lot when you’re reading? Other than those minor mechanical things I think that you’re definitely on the right track!-

Florida’s Natural
Florida’s Natural Premium Brand orange juice is made just from our fresh oranges, not from concentrate. And it’s the only leading brand owned by a small co-op of growers, so only our personal best goes into every carton. We own the land, we own the trees, and we own the company. Florida’s Natural. It’s as close to the grove as you can get.

ParticipantI agree with Mary about emphasizing “just” in first sentence because it is one of the defining brand distinctions. I’d also suggest de-emphasizing “made”. It also sounded that the tempo for “not from concentrate” picked up as did the pitch a little bit. Nothing else I’d suggest be changed after the first sentence and very nice job on the land-trees-company list.

ParticipantHi Erik, very good! Your voice is nice and clear and believable for this commercial. I would think that “just” should be emphasized a little more to show the contrast between using fresh oranges vs. concentrate in the first sentence. Good job!

ParticipantI like this one a lot!
Your tone is consistent, believable, and honest. The nit pick that I have would be your first p in ‘premium’. It’s popping the sound out, and you have to be careful with letters like ‘p’ that require a fast expulsion of air because they have a nasty tendency to distort sound depending on distance to mic, force of air, volume, ect. In this read that was the only one that broke my immersion, whatever you did on all of the other plosives worked very well and I suggest finding a method that can work those kinks out. Other than that, great job!

ParticipantHi Eric! I really like your very deep tone, very nice! I agree that there is an echo in the background that makes it hard to understand all of the words. You have a good story-tellling voice and I want to hear more! Keep it up!

ParticipantHello!
First off, I think that your tone is great for this read. I rather enjoy the style, and I think that this recording only suffers in the quality and pacing. It’s a little difficult to listen to, it seems like there might be some reverb, or echo, or something that’s distorting your voice and detracts from what you’re saying. I would slow down just a little bit. Let some ideas saturate, leave your listener some room to breathe and think about these ideas that you’re putting forward for them.
Great core sound, I look forward to hearing more from you!

ParticipantHi Thomas, very good! I liked both reads. Your voice is soothing and pleasant to listen to. The second read caught my attention a little more, I think because it seemed to have a little more variation and enthusiasm in tone throughout the script. Great work!

ParticipantLINGUINI AND BOB RESTAURANT
When dining formally, in order to avoid an embarrassing utensil faux pas, observe the following protocol: Begin by locating your seafood fork. Grasping this fork between thumb and forefinger, proceed to shove it into the ear of the person directly to your left. SFX: Yeouch!! Next, to impress business associates, stick your soup spoon up your nose and exclaim, “Look at me, I’m a bowl of soup.” When the entree arrives, use the butter spreader to catapult particularly juicy portions onto the balding heads of nearby diners. SFX: Splat! And finally, quietly finish with your dessert utensils, all the while, of course, making odd gurgling noises SFX: Gurgling! and clucking like a chicken. SFX: Clucking Chicken! This lesson in table etiquette has been brought to you by Linguini and Bob, who invite you to enjoy serious Italian food in a not-so-serious atmosphere.

Winn Dixie
It never ceases to amaze me, get sick and everybody has a
home remedy. My Aunt Emma’s cure all is crushed garlic and
Limburger cheese in a sock tied around her neck. “ I never get
sick” she says. That’s, cause nobody can get within 50 yards of
the woman. Then there’s my cousin Moon Beam from
California. Swears by frozen Tofu Daiquiris. And my mother –
anytime she hears me sneeze wants to give me a oil and vinegar
rub down. Great – if you wanna smell like a salad bar for a
week. Me, I just go down to Winn Dixie. Their low prices alone
make me feel better, and by the time I go pick up some chicken
my prescription is ready. That’s because they have a computer
back there with a file with my name on it. They know my
Doctors name, my allergies, and never once did they ask me to
gargle with guacamole!Attachments:

ParticipantHi Bil-Bo! All 3 reads were very well done and produced, and sound like they are already out there! I liked the pacing and energy and casualness for all three, and the character voices were great too! It seemed like there should have been a micro pause after “…rub down.” and before “Great”, but that’s being nit-picky. Great job!

ParticipantHi Mary! Good read.
It was clear, but I felt the pacing could of been a little faster in spots, or maybe don’t pause too long after commas.
Maybe it is me, but this didn’t sound like a pistol commercial. Perhaps it’s the script I am having an issue with, because this sounded more suited for an RV read.
I hope this helps!

ParticipantHi Kathy, thanks for the feedback! Yes now that I am hearing it again it does sound a little slow.
There is not much to suggest the commercial is for a Glock G44 gun, but that’s what it was for. I agree that the words could have been for a variety of outdoor products like an RV! It reminded me of those Levi’s ads that I have seen over the years that have almost no mention of jeans or jean jackets, but you finally know in the final scene by them showing you one Levi label for a split second. This one was like that too, only it had one target practice shot and one more quick glace at the gun in someone’s hands. Ahhh – advertising! 🙂 Thanks!

How To Read Music
Reading music is often seen as some sort of mysterious ancient puzzle or complicated foreign language, but it doesn’t have to be that way! The easy-to-follow lessons and companion CD in “How to Read Music” will show you how to decode those little black dots, and in a short time, you’ll be surprised how fluent you’ve become!

ParticipantHi mkell755…and first of all, thanks for your feedback on my Milne poem!
With the goals you’ve set out, I think you’re on a great path. The lead-in was perfect, and I think set your pace nicely. You have (to my ear) found a great, casual, conversational tone. The raise in pitch (whatever the term is for making something sound like a question) periodically reminded me of the youthful, millennial style that’s popular now. Just make sure you’re creating that effect intentionally. One example I can point out is “complicated foreign language,” which sounded like a question before the comma. Also, make sure you’re not skipping too quickly over words that deserve a little more time. “Little” in “little black dots” got pretty well swallowed up by the words around it. But really effective read, I thought!-

ParticipantThanks for the feedback Beckolin! You are welcome for the feedback on your poem, it was really well done!
Good to hear that it sounded casual and conversational. I feel like this would be the approach I would take to get a friend more interested in trying to read music, by intentionally varying my tone to keep it casual and not formal. I have been told that I have a tendency to “up-talk” which is raising the tone like a question at the end of a sentence, so I need to continue to work on that. I see how I sped up “little black dots” to be too fast; should have slowed down a bit there to match the rest of the pace, good catch. Very helpful, thanks for the comments!
