!! Great work! The balance between the music and your vocals is exactly what it needs to be, and your read was near perfect. You understood exactly what the copy was portraying and it fits the target audience %100! At the very end, the music does end abrubtly mid-note, but since this is a practice it’s something to take note of and perhaps find a way to fade out or finish the musical phrase (if its not too long) to have a solid finish to the commercial? It sounds almost as if there was another half second of that note that got cut off. Aside from that, keep up the great posts!

Hey all! Trying some poetry since it’s totally the same thing as narration right? Right?
I know that some of my p’s pop, but other than that any and all feedback/criticism is extremely welcome.On lowland plains I wander//All in the falling year,//By lowland valleys ponder//Upon my true love dear;//But spring will soon restore me//The smiles of Mary’s eye,//And the grand clouds flying o’er me//Upon the mountains high.
Within the lowland valley//There stands a castle strong,//Where round in each green alley//You’ll hear the wild bird’s song;//Far sweeter visions move me,//When I hear the eagle’s cry,//From the fields of G*d above me,//Upon the mountains high.
When autumn time is coming//Along the hills and dells,//You’ll hear the wild bees humming//Among the heather bells;//You’ll hear the g*y streams singing//Their songs to earth and sky,//Like the sounds of glad bells ringing//Upon the mountains high.
Amid their summits airy,//In sweet spring’s blessed reign,//I’ll sit beside my Mary//With happy heart again;//I have no wish beyond her,//And man can ne’er descry//Two youthful lovers fonder//Upon the mountain high.-
Hi FCabral! I loved the tone in your voice and the pace of the read, it seems very well suited for poetry like this. On the 3rd verse it sounded like a few of the words ending with “ing” were said to not pronounce the “g” – comin’ vs. coming; hummin’ vs humming; singin’ vs. singing and ringin’ vs. ringing. It all rhymed with each other, but I wonder if it was intended to drop the g’s? Just something I noticed.

This sounded so cool. I can totally picture what you are saying. I can only imagine how it would sound with background music. A few ways to make this better could probably be watching the “s” sounds for sibilance and maybe editing out the mouth noises. However, I think you did a really great job with this poem.

Today was my first day trying Audacity, and I thought I would do something different besides reading narration scripts, and went for a promo read. All feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

KF, Nice voice, mostly good clear diction. Might want to add the ‘t’ on the end of ‘want’, and the word “didn’t” didn’t quite come out clean. Other than that, it just needs to be edited a bit tighter. Too much space between “care about” and “I didn’t think so.” A couple of other places as well. But the interpretation was really good! Nice Work..!

KF, I enjoy the performance. Good diction. Speed it up a little bit. I like your first recording better than the second. You sounded calmer and more like a real convincing commercial. Try aiming for 12 seconds, maybe?

Thanks, SL. Noted!
About the two reels — they are the same one. I edited my post, and added it again, thinking it had to be uploaded again, too. (I wanted to edit my post to mention this, but after a couple of edits, it seems the forum doesn’t let you edit your posts. Or give the option to replace or delete a recording.)

UCLA
We are UCLA Extension.
We are scholars, innovators, visionaries, experimenters. We are idealists, artists, and optimists.
We have a one hundred-year legacy of taking the unconventional path; the road less traveled. We know that you don’t have to be a student to study. Because we know that knowledge is for everyone and that education improves people’s lives and makes communities stronger. We try and fail and then we try again [slight pause] because we know that there are many paths to success and we are defining our own goals and charting our own course.
[Pace of the VO picks up a little bit] We go into the unknown. We challenge ourselves. We keep rising. We dare to dream. We are here to make the world better. We are UCLA.I have mixed my first recording with background music. Please give and feedback. Thanks

“This does all seem rather bizarre. We are familiar with the world around us where everything behaves as we would expect. An apple falls from the tree to the ground according to classical laws. It all makes sense, but, at the very small we see classical laws break down. In the quantum world, particles behave in a weird way. They can be in different places at the same time. A cloud of possibilities. This is the strange world of quantum theory.”
Took some time off, getting back into the training and practice. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks for listening.

Your voice is nice and clear. But your tone is very mono tone. Try to hit certian words and add some spice to your dialog.

My attempt at a live announcement… I have heard a variety of ranges/styles, but I don’t think I have found the right one for me yet. 🙂
Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to Rome. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you.

Hi all! I’m posting a read for feedback in prep for my commercial demo – thanks for any and all comments!

You have nice voice, but its easy to tell you are reading. Keep working on it and think about changing tempo a little and hit certain words to emphasize key points
in the message. Good job. -

Hey there, I like your voice for this read. You sound like a sophisticated lady. I think the flow could use some work meaning there are some pauses that you could smooth out, and not pausing between ideas – you can smooth out places like “color where (pause) it’s needed most” doesn’t need the pause. There also sounded like there was a question mark at the end of “needed most. Every time.” I’ve done this too a few times I naturally go up in pitch sometimes and it sounds like a question mark, but this is a definitive statement and a strong opinion you have because this hair color product is just so great! Keep working on it! You have a nice sophisticated vocal tone 🙂

Hello! The tempo here flowed well in your reading. Perhaps when you say “me, me” emphasis the second me. I did notice between some words and sentences you had a tendency to do a clicking sound, particularly between “beautiful. I like being me.” Otherwise a good read!
