    Hi y’all! Looking for some feedback on a couple of commercial reads. Ignore the mic issues, I just got it and am starting to play around.

    Thanks!

      These sound pretty good! The Crate and Barrel one, I thought you kind of drifted…back with it. Lounging in the corner maybe? 😉 It just got a bit quieter towards the end. But otherwise was good!

      For the Legos, I think you could try a bit more conversational/casual. The flow worked really well. I think a more kind of off-the-cuff “my kid does the weirdest things” sort of feel could be fun to try with it! 🙂

    Hi – Please help me build my narration demo by listening to these short reads and giving me some feedback. The first two are for a non-profit and the second two are for pet adoption. What works? What doesn’t? Do let me know which versions of each you prefer, too. Appreciate you!

      I found things to like all the versions you posted. You have a very calm,comforting sound. You take your time feeling out the words but can pivot pretty well towards a faster paced interpretation. Really enjoyed it. Hey, I posted a read called The Farmers Dog. I’d love to hear your interpretation of it.

      Hi BJ,

      You have a lovely voice! It’s so warm and it kept me engaged throughout. You also have great versatility. The scripts read a little on the fast side–especially GunineaPigV2 so that’s something to be aware of. Toward the end, it sounded like you sped up a bit. I prefer AAFAV1 and GuineaPigV1 as well. Good luck 🙂

      Hey Jeff! Great voice! For the TN Valley: There were a lot of mouth clicks throughout. I’d suggest to try a de-clicker or edit those out. It was a very fast read. It felt like this would be a documentary, so imagine the images that would appear with the copy you are reading and how long they may appear on the screen during your VO (most likely a couple of seconds or so) hopefully this will help you pace a little slower so your audience can more easily absorb the message. For the Church Attack: It lacked emotion behind the subject matter. The church attack is a horrible thing and the images that would be show with it are also…try putting your hand over your heart or something like that when you read to connect with the script (you don’t have to pour out tears but you would want to connect with the gravity of the situation). Doing that hopefully will help you with slowing your pace also. Hope this helps. Keep going…your voice is great for narration.

        Really appreciate the honest feedback. The emotion part is something I am working on. Thanks for your input!

      Hi Elena – Very easy to listen to your tone and pace. Great pronunciation. Neuroendocrine – there’s a slight hesitation between “electron” and “microscopy.” Social Security – I think you can go a bit warmer here – more conversational. Both recordings sound echoey.

    Removed breaths only because there was one. Looking for feedback on delivery and quality of recording. Thank you much.

      Seth, I thought this sounded so nice! Only thing I can think of is maybe in the second line, smooth out “the all new Acura” just a smidge. Or are those slight pauses intentional for drama? (I don’t mean where you say, “Luxury. Performance. Etc. I can tell those pauses are right on.) Love your voice and tone: Great for a luxury ad!

      Hi Atperry – I must admit. I’m a sucker for deep voices – yours is beautiful! Overall – nice job! Just a couple of thoughts – trying reading this with a bit of a smile so that the read is warmer but still professional. Also, try backing up from the mic a bit to avoid mouth sounds.
