ParticipantHello all, looks like I had one more that I couldn’t add to that last post.

ParticipantThis is great! I don’t have much to say other than that it’s a really strong conversational read. I see some comments on your other audios that one or two spots don’t have that same time of read so I’m guessing you really connect with the content here. Great job!

ParticipantI really enjoyed Curiosity Stream, your voice and use of inflection to make the read engaging to the listener. I notice there are a couple of breaks in the flow, but overall great job!

ParticipantYou’ve got a great variation in pitch in your voice while still sounding natural. It’s really nice to listen to and I love it for commercial-style reads, especially the Curiosity Stream recording. I agree with the previous poster that the Ancestry spot doesn’t quite hit the same, I think because it’s a more personal/intimate subject. That particular copy has a much more solemn vibe and I think that’s the difficulty. Good stuff so far though!

ParticipantHi there, I enjoy your voice. The thing I’m not hearing is the thing I’m working on myself — connection. I like your pacing and appreciate how you’re landing on some words or injecting some attitude into others. But it doesn’t still doesn’t feel like you’re talking to me in person. The ancestry clip, for example, I don’t feel like you’re actually asking me the questions so much as reading them. How would you ask me these questions if I were standing right in front of you — and you really wanted to know if it was my mom in those pictures? How can you translate that kind of engaged energy to the copy?

ParticipantHey! I can’t pick a best take for this American Express spot that I’ve been practicing. Very minimally edited as I wanted to nail the whole thing in one take. Which one do you all like best and why? Thank you so much!

ParticipantFirst, great job on all three. In my opinion, take 3 was your best. It had more emphasis on keywords and sounded more conversational than take 1 or 2, to my ear. It also sounded like you had more ‘energy’ at the end of the third take than the other two. All were good, I just liked 3 the best for those reasons. Again, great job!

ParticipantHere’s the script!
American Express – Private Payments
Do you know me? Probably not. In my business, recognition is always important, but when I’m buying goods online, I prefer a little privacy. With Private Payments from American Express, I get the security of a unique number created for each business transaction I make. Because my private information is my business.

ParticipantHey all! So I’m just getting into the world of voice acting and decided to take a stab at a script on here. Let me know how I did and what I should improve!

ParticipantSuper energy and flow, I would like to hear some more variance in tone than volume, especially at the end when he’s the good guy if the money is right. Great job!

ParticipantGreat energy! Good feeling, but sometimes I can’t make out what you’re saying because the momentum obscures the words. This seems very much an acting exercise, so assuming you’re aiming for drama shows or video games. I agree with the previous poster, being more in the character will help the character’s story land better — right now it’s all the same level of intensity, but if you vary the range, more meaning and empathy will flow.

ParticipantHey there! Great energy in the read, but a bit over the top at times. Try to really find your character’s intention and that may help ground it more.

ParticipantHello, here are two new clips where I’m trying what I think is the appropriate voice for the copy given the finished commercials. Please let me know how authentic it sounds (though I never order a drink this way), and please, can anyone hear my laptop fan??? Thanks!

ParticipantI think the Ketel One spot is a great use of your voice. You’ve really got the sultry vibe going for you. I like that you take pauses, but I think they might be a little bit long, particularly in the Dog recording. It’s got a good amount of feeling and a natural sound, but I think the train of thought gets a little muddy/choppy because of the length of the pauses.

ParticipantI can’t hear the fan in either of these! Both are pretty solid! I like the fluctuation in your voice on the Ketel one file. Very cool!

ParticipantHello all,
I’m looking for some creative feedback. I was mainly focusing on flow and tone for this one. How do you think I did? I’m only just starting out, so I’d love any advice you’ve got (though I’m still working on the audio tech side of things). Thanks!Attachments:

ParticipantGood pacing here. It sounds like you’re reading the script, so what can you do to make this copy feel more natural? If you were saying this to me in person, how would you say it? I notice there’s also a rhythm in your speech, punching words regularly on a downbeat. If you can catch yourself doing it, then you can control it and use it effectively where it’s needed. You’ve got a nice voice!

ParticipantI LOVE your personal care ad! Sounds wonderful – nice friendly tone, steady speed, very natural.
Newcast reel – it’s a bit cheeky/perky, more like a Radio Personality than a Newscaster. Maybe change the name on that one (Radio Personality)

ParticipantHello! This is my very first post. Looking for creative feedback and not technical since I recorded it on my iphone. Please let me know how the flow sounds – if it is choppy or any other critiques. Thank you!

ParticipantI really like the conversational tone you’ve got, your voice sounds great! The only thing I noticed to work on was that your pauses seemed a bit too long. Loved the “pop of pineapple”!

ParticipantHi Kristin,
Your voice has a very nice tone, warm and inviting. My suggestion for improvement would be to vary your pitch a bit by picking some of the important words in the text to emphasize. Nice job putting up your first post!!
