Hello fellow Voice artists! My name is Eric and I would appreciate some honest criticism about this recording. I would be happy to evaluate you as well, thank you for taking the time. One Vanderbilt Observation Deck Audio Simulation. Hello, and welcome to the audio simulation of the One Vanderbilt Observation Deck. Please adjust your audio volume to a level that best represents my voice at a normal speaking volume to a person standing next to you. This will calibrate your headphone level. Please do not adjust your audio volume again over the course of the simulation. Thank you.

Hi Eric- This is my first time on this forum providing feedback, so please bear with me if this comment is not in the right place. It’s intended to be feedback on the practice file of One Vanderbilt OB deck. I really enjoyed your read and find your voice very pleasant to listen to, and also very professional-sounding (if that’s a thing- ha). Aside from the micro-pauses someone else mentioned, the only other thing that caught my attention was the “Hello!” at the beginning of the piece. It sounded a touch like “Hullo” and I thought the pronunciation might be tweaked a bit more in the “Hello” (like in chelo) direction. Not sure if that’s a subjective thing, or a correct/incorrect thing, so disregard my comment if it’s just a personal taste issue. Nice sound!!

Hi Eric – Overall I think this is a good read, but gets a little “pause-y” in the middle. You do: “a level that best represents my voice (pause) at a normal speaking volume (pause) to a person standing next to you”. Personally I’d go straight through that, no micropauses. I often find that blowing through commas in a script makes it sound less choppy. Conversely adding the pause sounds hesitant and less conversational.
A good match for your sound though…friendly, enthusiastic and clear, all very applicable to instructional reads. Nice job !

Hello Earthbul,
nice work. I think your voice has real authenticity and I imagined you being apart of the railway industry! The only criticism would be to maybe hydrate a little more, your mouth sounds a little cottony, other than that I’m sure I’ll be hearing you about, good luck! -

I need some feedback before another coaching session, specifically about Micropauses and Glottal Stops, as well as not reading too fast. Just need to work that stuff out. Thanks!
Atlanta Bread Company
When you think of Atlanta Bread Company, don’t just think ‘bread’.
Think of an entire breakfast menu – fresh-baked pastries, hot breakfast sandwiches and specialty coffees.
Think of our Cafe with savory sandwiches, daily soups and crisp salads.
And don’t forget…we can cater your next special event or meeting!
Atlanta Bread Company – more than just bread.A1 Steak Sauce
With steak, you want to make every bite count.
That’s why we use A-1 Steak Sauce.
A-1 brings out every single bite of steak, or even hamburger.
Mmmmm, delicious.
For me, there’s only one steak sauce, A-1.
Because A-1 has all the taste that makes every bite count.Special K Red Berries
Putting strawberries in cereal wasn’t our idea.
Putting them in the box was.
With slices of real strawberries and crunchy sweet flakes, looking good never tasted so good.

He there. I definitely don’t think these are too fast. If that’s been a problem in the past, you’ve improved! Micropauses help bring you to more conversational speed, and I think that’s best shown in the A1 read. Also think A1 is the best read overall: most conversational and natural, and you keep up the energy through the last line. On special K and Atlanta Bread, the last line sorta trails off.
Not hearing any glottal stops, but I never really developed an ear for them in US English :-/ I hear them in British English all the time (they’re very obvious), but if you’ve had issues in the past I’d never know it.
Nice reads all around!

Got two reads of the same script. Wondering about general thoughts and which you like more. Trying to be conversational and clear.
Beavers Voice Over Script: “The beavers build their lodge out of intertangled twigs and sticks; as freezing weather nears, they plaster their lodge with mud, making a concrete layer that no predator can break through. During the early nineteenth century, the beavers pelt was the single most valuable commodity; the pelt was used for robes, coats, clothing trims, and top hats.”
