      Good natural type delivery on this! Only question I would have is the last line will see you there could have been a little more upbeat and maybe highlight the word you so that people think of themselves as The traveler hence good for the business. Hope that helps you!

    Hi,
    Wanted some feedback on a medical read. Content, sound quality etc…
    Thanks.

    The corneal epithelium is a thin layer of fast-growing and easily regenerated tissue kept moist by tears. The epithelium absorbs oxygen and cell nutrients from tears, and then distributes these nutrients to the rest of the cornea. The part of the epithelium that serves as the foundation on which the epithelial cells anchor and organize themselves is called the basal membrane

      Hi LMayo! Great read! Your voice sounds very smooth, warm and calm, and very good for a script like this. Good pacing and enunciation throughout. Very good!

      Very lovely read. You have a great voice for medical narration. I would say with this read there were pauses so you could work on smoothing out the pauses and only pause between ideas/sentences. You did a much smoother read for the 2nd and 3rd sentence, so the first one os more “pause-y” than the other two. Really nice work!

    Hello all! I’m looking for any and all feedback here to my daily recording. This was recorded on my phone, so this is just for practice. Trying to sound authentic for this sort of commercial. Thank you!

      Hi Mary! I think you have the right voice for this type of ad. Try to imagine that you’re talking to someone you know about this balance bar before you do the read. Pretend you’re really excited about letting them know that this is going to change their life. I believe this will help make the copy sound more conversational than just reading off the script. Hope that helps and keep up the good work!

        Thanks for the feedback Svenbot! I will work on visualizing talking to a friend about trying out the bar, good tip. I really get excited about energy bars in real life! Will try to ramp up the excitement too. Thank you!

      Hi Mary,
      Cute attitude. It is a little choppy: for ex, consider the pause after the first “beer” and the pause after “Eat”, and “Plus” You do a great job of changing inflection on “is still” and “with your head”, so the pauses are unnecessary and make it sound stilted. Your delivery on 40-30-30 sounds almost bored, but it is a big deal, as is the first time you mention the product. The pause before “Balance Bar” is good as it makes us pay attention to what will come after. You might try a smile in your voice on the final joke of “eat with your head.” Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

        Hi Laura, thanks for the feedback! I will work on the unnecessary pauses and choppiness, good points. More smiling during the read too is good. Thanks again!

    Happy Monday, all!

    Here is my submission for today!

    I did a documentary read from the script library. I am aware of background noise (not hydrated enough today), and would like feedback regarding anything else. It is appreciated.

    Animal Heroes

    Not all heroes are human. Sometimes heroes bark, meow, or even grunt. They may be covered with fur, have curly tails, or live in an alley. We’re about to meet some real-life animal heroes. Each one of these heroes has performed an amazing rescue. Sometimes they even put themselves in danger to help others. We’ll meet a dog who rescues stray cats. A brave cat who saved her five kittens from a fire. A pig who got help for her owner who was having a heart attack. And a guide dog who led his owner down 71 flights of stairs when the World Trade Center was attacked.

      Hi Kathy! I liked this read. It was warm, well paced and with good micro-pauses between thoughts to let the listener hear and understand what was being said. Good natural tone. Good job!

      Hi Doc, nice work on these, sound like you’ve been working hard! The podcast one is spot on in my opinion. Clubmed one is soothing the way you delivered it maybe a tad too slow? Mercedes one not sure, anyway good luck to you!

    More homework! Thanks again for all comments!

    Club Med
    Imagine for a moment … nothing. No clocks. No ringing phone. No traffic jams. No radios. No newspapers. And no crowds. Now imagine a Club Med vacation. An island village where aqua seas brush dazzling white shores. Where lush green palms line wandering paths. A place where evenings are filled with entertainment and dancing. A Club Med vacation is like none other. Ask your travel agent.
