      cbadloc, great tone nice voice! a couple things: I hear the finishing “g” on both “commuting” and “running” but you take a more casual (southern?) approach with “pickin’ up groceries” and “enjoyin’ a ride.” For me the two different approaches conflict – maybe stick to one or the other with the pronounced, ending ‘g” being my preference. Also, take a listen to “anintagraded battery” and “annafully…” I can’t quite hear the distinction between the words.
      I can see this read going in more than on direction…e.g., casual, entertainment/excercise to an individual adult and a serious business pitch to a city/municipality to perhaps sign on a for a full contract for their). Perfect pace on the read. really nice sound!

      I thought your tone was perfect for the John Deere ad and sounded pretty d**n good to me. I would say the same tone maybe doesn’t work as well for the cool FM ad but still sounds good. Both ads sound really good but voice/tone works better for the JDeere ad is my point.

      You’ve got a wonderful voice! I would say to focus on being nice and smooth throughout the read. It helps to kinda look a head a few words while you read so you don’t get all tripped up. Another thing is try and incorporate some tone while you read. Pick an way you want the read to sound and really try and bring it to life. You’ve got the voice man. Good luck!

      Hello. Great voice, cbadloc! I would consider taking out the pauses bt “delivers” and “great,” “seafood” and “and,” “nuggets” and “in,” and “box” and “for.” They make it difficult to track the content and context of the message.

      You sound naturally talented, so these minor suggestions should be easy for you to implement if you feel like they would be helpful.

      great job!

    Good afternoon folks! Just posting another on, seeking feedback on all aspects. This one was kind of a docu-promo for a sport called “Skijor” – basically skiing behind a horse, with a twist to promote Magnum truck racks. The only direction was “real person, believable, conversational”. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and feedback on any and aspects of the read. T

      Voice and tone sound really good though not sure if it would be considered “conversational”, but I’m not an expert. I would say “Meet Owen Larue” could be used with a different inflection perhaps? Again, I’m not an expert so it could be perfect for all I know.

      Tone was good! It was an engaging read honestly. As for pace I would slow it down just a tad overall but still a good read.

    Graceson- First of all, I would say the sound of your voice is very nice and easy to listen to. Your pace is very consistent throughout. To make this sound more conversational and natural you might try varying your pace, possibly talking more quickly in some spots. I totally understand what you are saying about understanding what the read is asking for. I feel like I know this too, but then when I listen sometimes I have missed the mark. I know with more listening and practicing we will both get better at this. 🙂

      Thank you first of all! I will try varying my pace that seems like a good idea. Hitting the mark must be a learned art itself.

    Would love hearing your thoughts on my first try at a read. My coach says I’m a glottal stop queen. Haha. Let me know. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

      Hi Melody! Love your voice- it strikes me as having a clear and professional sound. I’m sneaking a quick listen from work, so I didn’t notice glottal stops 😉 but I really found you super easy and pleasant to listen to with nothing annoying that jumped out at me :). Ha ha- I have a feeling you are going to be demoted from your queen status soon.

      Well done melody! Good pitch, tone, tempo and volume. Sounds like your recording space will need a bit of attention, but your voice and read are great!
