Hi-
I’m working on tracks for my narration demo. I’d greatly appreciate you listening to these two reads and giving me some feedback. The first is “for lack of a better description” a dramatic read and the second is an elearning read.
Do they sound conversational/natural? Is there vocal variety?
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. Back again with another round of recordings before my next coaching session. If you’ve listened to my recordings before and noticed that my voice is a bit off this time, I think it’s because I overdid my warmups and I feel as if it spilled onto my performance, so I apologize in advance if these aren’t up to par. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Hi – Autism – Friendly tone, good pacing and inflection – nicely done! Just a couple of thoughts – “To learn the signs…” and “Brought to you by…” seem a little less conversational than the rest of the copy. There’s a poppin’ “P” in the first mention of “parent.” Orange Theory – Like your friendly voice! Consider editing out the breath before “Do you want …” and the “c” in “confidence” is noisy, maybe you’re too close to the mic? Think about emphasizing “you” in “do you want more” “Orange Theory Fitness” and “we and you” in “we give you more. ” Volume is low in both reads. Looking forward to your next posts.

Hi Michele – This is a longggggggggggg overdue thank you for your kind and motivating words. You were spot on with your assessment regarding “performing.” In fact, I had my coaching session the next day and was reminded about sounding conversational. I’m a work in progress:)! I’m getting ready now for my next coaching session now.

Hi Edge Studio Friends,
Attached are two reads for my VO homework:-)…a medical narration and a narration. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

Your reads sound great, your voice sounds like it was meant to do these scripts. My only critique is that it does sound like you may be a bit too close to your mic? I’m hearing plosives and a bit of mouth noise. Your pace is spot on, not too fast and not too slow. Overall great read

Hi Artist7,
I love your energy in the Food Network recording. Your voice is smooth, fluid and clear with nice tone. I would add more energy to the NPR recording, especially toward the end. Both are very well done! -Veronica -

Hello Forum Friends. I am narrowing down samples for an upcoming narration demo. I would appreciate a n y input – no need to sugar coat! I am eager for ideas on how to improve, what lands funny, awkward, forced or unnatural and basically, if I am conveying a story with the ever-important “conversational” tone. Thank you so so much!
And one other thing, the energy should be increasing slightly with each read (“Guns Germs and Steel” being the most mild of the three, “Bonobos” with a bit ore energy and “Sun” with the most of the three but still somewhat mild.)
Thank YOU!

Hey M. I’ve listened to your recordings and I really like the careful tone you placed within them. I can’t speak to narration as my focus is on commercial, but I noticed the slight increases in energy you mentioned and I think they work wonderfully. They’re apparent enough for the listener, but subtle enough to avoid drastically changing the consistency and tempo of your reads. Awesome job!

Hey guys. I’m back with another round of recordings. Thank you in advance for your wonderful feedback.

Hi Luke! American Express was definitely my favorite of the three. It seemed like a good length with a definite start middle and finish that suited your voice and diction; and, your choice of pace was spot on. I’d like to hear more of that style!
iPhone: I had to rewind a couple of times to determine the words “voice activation” and “driver’s seat” so perhaps take a little more time with those word pairs and articulate the end of one and the beginning of the other – that would help the flow of the read for me.
Rock: Along the aforementioned lines, I got a little bogged down with “bands your” – slowing down a smidge and changing “bandzyer ex” to “bands your (rhymes with “store”) ex” would keep it moving without s mental hiccup.
Great job – for me those minor adjustments would take it to the next level.

Hi – Nice warmth in your voice. I like your pacing and inflection. Just a couple of thoughts – consider trying this with a little more of a smile in your voice and playing up the conversational approach (picture who you’re taking with about A-1) – feel free to lean into that “delicious.” Looking forward to hearing more from you.

these are my first 2 attempts at medical narration. please be kind while also specific. 🙂
One is a “explainer” piece on multiple myeloma.
The other is a “propaganda” piece from a nationwide cancer providerTrying for two different tones

Hi dhwilson2! You have a very interesting sound! What stood out to me immediately was mouth clicks and a low frequency hum. The clicks can be fixed with proper hydration. The hum can be removed with a program like iZotope RX (Just google the stand alone or plug in option for tutorials). You may also want to shoot for crisper/clearer enunciation. Keep going, you’re headed in a great direction!
