Hoping I’m able to upload this time! I have just started my journey into narration voice over training. I would appreciate your feedback on my first couple of reads. One is for a travel planning video. The other is an audio voice over for a museum tour. I would love some feedback please. I am working on sounding conversational, slowing my pace and sounding natural vs choppy. Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,

I would love technique feedback on this documentary read. Don’t mind any background noise. Thank you!

Grace, you have a really good feel for the material. There are a couple of places where the inflection seems a bit out of place. “Although his wife dees most of the talking….” needs to be an addendum to the previous sentence as they form a single thought.

Also, your pronunciation of your voiced “th” sounds have a ‘d’ sound. You would have to check with a coach about if/when you would work on that.

Other than that, it was a nice read…! As I mentioned, you have a nice feel for this kind of material, and a really clear and clean voice. Nice Work…!

Hello Everyone!
In advance of my next class, I am posting a couple of reads – one a promo for From History to Words and the other is a short guide to making a mint julep.
Would welcome feedback re pace, tone and tempo or anything else that catches your ear.

Thanks!
John

You have a good voice and its probably great for promo too. For the first read, try having somebody you’re speaking to and have a reason why you’re speaking to them to help make your words flow better, so it’s not as choppy, especially in the middle and end of the read. Also, don’t be afraid to pause, just as long as the pauses are purposeful and add to the tone and vibe of the message. Pausing in the appropriate places would make the read more exciting and suspenseful. I think especially in promo, the narrator is like a voice of g*d, all knowing and in control of the message. So be purposeful with the pacing, so it doesn’t sound like you’re rushing.

For the second one, I recommend hitting the action words(like garnish, stir), instead of the nouns like “sprig.” But no need to overemphasize just have a purpose for why you’re saying what you’re saying, who specifically you’re talking to, and with the knowledge of what words to hit. it’ll come naturally. This read could also use more “flow” between the words, just like the first read, so i recommend the same thing for that. Good job!

Really like the vocal change-up. A bit more deep smoothness in second VO?

[Erika S]

You have a great voice! Maybe try to play with the tone a little more. At “all inclusive all the time” to really draw in the listener. Really smooth and inviting!

Nice vocal variation, but I was having a hard time hearing non-inflected words.

[SuperLuke]

Hi,
I enjoyed hearing the recordings. But there were times in the second recording when I couldn’t hear everything you said about Honest Tea.

[Erika S]

Good evening! I have been working on my dialect with my coach. I thought it would be fun, and a little different if you would kindly listen to my upload and guess what state you think I am from?! I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Thank you!!

Erika, I would say that your dialect coach is pretty good…! I played the track before reading your comment, and had no idea you were working on something like that. Actually a really good read. You didn’t mention about your recording environment, but it will need some work, as does mine…:). I have a take of this as well. It was really fun to do, and it seemed you had a good time with it as well.

Nice..!!

I don’t know which state you’re from, but the greeting was nice and warm.

[SuperLuke]

Agreed

[Erika S]

Thank you! I suppose for the goal of this sample, if nothing jumped out at you then thats a good thing!
Thank you for listening:)

[MattSchonberg]

Hey all; as part of my classes I’ve been asked to get this read checked out on the forums. Would appreciate any advice on both the read as well as the editing – Not 100% sure I have the hang of Audacity editing yet but that’s what practice is for!

Ear-perking voice and crisp delivery. It sounded a bit fast in the second half of the copy.

What’s up everyone.

Attached are some commercial examples for review. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Excellent, resonant voice delivered with gusto, but a pinch-quick delivery sometimes compromised copy clarity.
