ParticipantHey 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!

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

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

ParticipantThere is a growing concern that students who online exam service are not achieving the same level of understanding and mastery of the material as those who complete the assignments themselves. This is because when students outsource their work to someone else, they are not engaging with the material in the same way as they would if they completed the work themselves. They are also missing out on the opportunity to receive feedback from their instructors and improve their understanding of the subject matter.

ParticipantHi – I’m working away at building my narration demo. Would you please listen to these short reads and giving me some feedback? The first two are for a government agency and the second two are for a museum. What works? What doesn’t? Which versions of each do you prefer? Appreciate you!

ParticipantLoved StaxV2! Your pleasant-to-the-ear voice easily surfed the copy with range and verve less evident on the other reads.

ParticipantHi BJ. Really enjoyed your natural tone in Jury version 2. It flowed for such an important topic. (May I ask what type of mic you’re using. It’s very clear. Thanks!)

ParticipantHello there! Overall, nice work on your narration. You have a very warm tone and a nice smooth voice that is enjoyable to listen to. All of your recordings are good, so my comments are just minor observations that hopefully help you refine things.
Just a few things that caught my attention when listening to your recordings:
– JuryServiceV1 – It felt a little rushed, so you should be able to slow your pace a little without feeling like it is dragging. It also comes across as stereotypical uncaring government info. Not sure if that is good or bad, depending on what you were going for, it might read better with a more sympathetic conversational approach.– JuryServiceV2 – Much better pace. Still the unemotional government info tone. Again, depending on what client wants, that may be fine but if you weren’t going for it, you should be aware.
– STAXV1 – Pace and rhythm feel off on this one. Tone and diction is good but some sentences feel like they are rushed together where there should be a pause and others have a pause where it feels like it should flow together.
-STAXV2 – Pacing is much better on this one, it doesn’t feel quite a rushed, but the rhythm still feels a little off in one or two places.
Again, great job so far and keep it up!

ParticipantHi John – Thanks for your kind words and in-depth feedback. Yes, I am going for a more detached approach for Jury Service. Perhaps, I took it too far? Also, is there any chance you could tell me specifically where you feel my rhythm is off in Stax V2?
-

John Sevier
ParticipantNo problem. Specifically in STAXV2, the flow from the welcome into the first stop comes across as one sentence, when the words indicate it should be two or possibly three distinct sections.

ParticipantGood Evening!
I’ve had a lot of personal things going on in my background, but I finally have some time to get back to practicing.
I feel a little rusty, but overall I like what I did here. Criticism and feedback of any kind is much appreciated! It’s overall a conversational piece, and I’m also working with a new mic stand. The stand is helping me make more space in my studio, and I hearing a lot less breathing now.
Next time, I plan to practice something with a little more variation.

ParticipantOutside of “crunch” fading early in the read and “you” at the end, a good read. Maybe a touch more muscle in the voice?

ParticipantA practice read to get some feedback on how my voice and copy read is developing. My home studio is still very basic, so please ignore tech aspects. I am looking more for feedback on pace, acting, technique, etc. Appreciate the feedback in advance!

ParticipantPleasant voice, good pace and pitch. Your voice faded at “Shakespeare and company,” and the break seemed slightly long between “possible” and “in ways.”

ParticipantHello all, I’d like some feedback on these reads I did, especially in 4 areas:
Does my read sound conversational?
How is my diction?
How is my pace?
Am I reading my copy with a good flow or do I sound choppy?

ParticipantHi – Of the two, I think Pete’s is stronger. You sound more conversational. I do think you can really play up the first couple of lines where you talk about Marie – have fun with it. In the Corolla spot, it may be just me but I think the beginning was cut off. If it helps, think of having a conversation with a friend about this car – you’re excited and energized when talking about this car. I think you can pick up your pace, especially in the beginning. I’m not a techie, so I can’t offer remedies, but I did notice that your recordings sound cavernous (hoping someone on the Forum can offer some guidance). Looking forward to hearing your next records.

ParticipantLove your voice and delivery. A little tightening up on some of the pauses maybe but great read ! Sound quality is A+ as well.
Love to hear more of your work.-

ParticipantThanks so much! That encouragement means a lot 🙂 would you mind sharing where in the script the pauses needed tightening? I’ve received similar feedback before but haven’t asked for the examples. Thanks!

ParticipantHello!
I would love some creative feedback on this little snippets. I have a terrible habit of being a speedy talker, so hopefully these aren’t too fast. I’m working my way towards a narration demo, with hopes of audiobook demo shortly after. So, I’ve got a snippet of museum/walking tour audio guide, a snippet of documentary, and a snippet of an original short story.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

ParticipantThank you both! I’ll have to work on reading through things a bit more before recording, to hopefully help with getting it more relaxed and free flowing. 🙂

ParticipantHalloween sounded conversational and with lots of inflection inviting the listener to stay connected. Davies and some of Trinity sounded like you were reading from a paper more, with the exception of the transition “walk ahead & meet me at ___”.

ParticipantI thought they were all good reads. Sound quality nit so much but thst’s just technical and easily remedied. Don’t know much about the guided tour styleof read so I can’t really comment on it. Slow down a tad on the doc read and let the listener live in it a little. I really enjoyed the Halloween read. Nice inflections. It never felt like you were just reading words on a page. Take all this with a grain of salt though. I’m by no means a pro at this.

ParticipantHello, Feedback Forum. I’ve got 2 uploads I’d like some feedback on. I’d especially like feedback on 3 areas.
1. How conversational do I sound?
2. How is my diction?
3. How is my pace?
Thanks a bunch! -
