Hi all! I’d be grateful for any feedback on the attached audition; creative, performance, and technical. I’m working on speeding up my audition process.

You sound amazing – voice, delivery & technical!

[Earthbul]

Love 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.

[HillOKeefe]

Thanks 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!

Hello!

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!

Thank 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. 🙂

Halloween 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 ___”.

[Earthbul]

I 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.

Hello, 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!

[Earthbul]

I don’t see the attachments.

Hello Feedback Forum! In preparation for my VO coaching session, attached are two recordings for feedback. The Lipitor recording was a challenge because it’s written like a Webster’s definition, not a normal paragraph. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Best,
Veronica

Hi,
I know that these types of reads lean towards the serious. While I think the pace was adequate I felt there should have been a little more inflection in your delivery. I’d love to hear version 2 of these reads.

[Earthbul]

I created the script using ChatGPT. A great resource for tailoring reads that fit your style
Highly recommend it !! Any and all comments welcomed and appreciated.

Sounds conversational & awesome.

[melodyz]

Loved the read! Your voice fits the product perfectly. Totally engaging.

May I ask what kind of mic you are using. It sounds so clear.

[Earthbul]

Thanks. I use a Rode NT1-a. My closet is really well treated also.

[suzanne dangler]

This is great! I can picture a fantastic 70s Old Spice style video going along with this!

I was tempted to test chatGPT and was also pretty shocked at what it came up with with just a few sparse descriptions! Can’t quite bring myself to use it though… 🙂

[AAsterita]

Here are 3 spots I’m working on for my demo, would love some feedback. Thank you!

The variety of spots truly shows your range. Loved it. Wasn’t clear on the yoga studios name the first time you said it, but caught it at the end. Your voice and tone are fantastic.

[Michele Martin]

Hi A-
I liked the variety for your demo! Nice mix! Regarding the yoga script- When you said, “Visit us today at Alluem Yoga”, I thought that “today” could benefit from just a touch more up-beatness. I thought it was a super read and I know that the subject calls for a calm and relaxing tone, but think that the invite to “visit today” could be read in a just a teeny bit more subtle enthusiasm. Maybe a little bit of a higher note on “today”. Congratulations on working on your demo! It all sounded great! This feedback is of course just my opinion and subjective :).

[Earthbul]

The Yoga and Vroom spots were really good. Yoga was nice and calm without being boring while the Vroom spot had a perfect cadence and kept me listening. Really nice work.

[Earthbul]

I enjoyed the Seventh Generation spot but I felt more emphasis should’ve been put on the first line.
A little more forceful. Ending more on an upswing. That being said I really enjoy your voice. Very pleasing to the ear.

[Earthbul]

Practice read. Just wondering what your thoughts are of it. Thank you.

Hi – Excuse my delay in getting back with you. You have a very natural, warm and conversational delivery. I really like the expressiveness you bring to specific words. Is this a commercial read? If so, I’d be curious how this would sound if you brought more energy to your delivery and brought up the music a bit. Overall, really well done! Thanks again for giving my snippets a listen. BJ

[Brandyhart610]

Smooth read, conversational, sounded effortless. You’re hired.

[Brmassey]

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!
Brianna

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! 🙂
