ParticipantI agree with Tim. Approachable and informative. You bring a very
believable delivery to this read. You sound nice and relaxed. Interested in hearing more of you. -

ParticipantHi Debbie – you have a warm, friendly but knowledgeable voice. I think this is a great read, sounds like e-learning might be a niche to focus your auditions.
Your diction/enunciation is super-precise, which I feel is appropriate for the read. Only the phrase “high cos-t” didn’t seem quite as pointed, but only in comparison to the rest of the script.
Really well done!

Nice reads. I agree with above. It felt like a marine was giving me the inside scoop. On that one the only tweak would be I would emphasize courage. Really think about what that feels like when you say it. On the news one, I would do the same with the words “Want and Need” think people want and need channel 11. Lastly, overall the sound sounds similar on all 3. Perhaps you want to choose something that is out of your comfort zone to show your range. Overall great work and engaging sound.

ParticipantHi JALjr – Sounds to me like the Marines read was MADE for your voice. You have a true “all American” tone, like you really know what you’re talking about. I also hear that coming through in the Eiffel Tower read, though that sounds a bit more narrative (to my ear) than commercial.
I think News 7 is more promo and needs to go bigger. I’m hardly an expert (coaching on promo now), but these type of commercials often border on announcery. I’ll post a few promo reads I’m working on for feedback.
Great work!

ParticipantHi everyone!
First time posting material; I just changed spaces and wondered if I could get some feedback on these auditions I recorded. Commercial/advertisement style.
Thank you!

ParticipantWell well my friend, you’ve got quite the voice in you lol Seriously good work. The words “shine” and “up” in the enthusiasm spot, were they cut together ? Just wondering because editing is the bane of my existence at times and I know the hassle of getting it just right. Blah, blah, blah that’s neither here nor there. Really nice work man I look forward to hearing more of your reads.

ParticipantHi Everyone,
I’d appreciate your feedback on my delivery here. Trying to find the sweet spot between conversational and interesting. Also working on pacing. Recorded on a cell phone, so not ready for tech notes. Thank you!Attachments:

ParticipantYou sound much more relaxed and conversational in these reads. Other then some
sound treatment issues I think these really flowed. Plus,
I could only hear you through one channel which didn’t help.

ParticipantHi Everyone,
I’d welcome your feedback on my second version of this VO: AIG. I’m working on reflecting the tone of the story about people abandoning their homes. Also working on more inflection and on being conversational. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Best, RobertAttachments:

ParticipantI felt you connected to the copy in a more believable way in this one. Could be a little more relaxed in your delivery. The audio could be cleaned up a bit more. I liked your inflections as well. I’m going to take a crack at this one as well.

ParticipantI hear you. Fine tuning your recording gear and space can be exhausting.
What mic and daw are you using currently ? -

ParticipantMy background is in film and videography (writer/producer and sometimes 2nd camera) so I’ve been using a pretty rustic field setup: a Sony ECM-77B lavalier microphone which I pin to my collar – and a Tascam DR-100 recorder. I’m just starting to look at the gear I will need to do voice over work. Open to any recommendations. What are you using?

ParticipantHey Friends! Here’a a quick commercial read about Crayola markers. I’m looking for feedback on how conversational it sounds…
I don’t need feedback on the tech bc my studio is not set up yet.
Thank you!!!Attachments:

ParticipantHi Nikka,
Your voice sounds great here. A few minor notes:
I would like to hear a little some variation in the first few words: Crayola Color Wonder Markers.
Also – you have a pause after this phrase which might be a touch too long. To me it sounds to me like you’re starting a new sentence rather than continuing the first one.
I agree with punching ONLY more.
Great job. I just posted a VO called AIG (version 2). Would love your feedback.
Thanks,
Robert -

Participantlovely voice! My suggestions: color “ONLY” on special paper (not on table, walls etc…)

ParticipantHey there,
I have been on hiatus for a while due to… life.
So anyway, these are for my upcoming session.
If you have time, take a listen. I still have a lot of work to do within Audacity.
I appreciate any suggestions and comments! – I edited my post and now have doubled my attached files. There should only be three! whoops 😀
Thanks lots! 🙂 Leann-

ParticipantHi Leann,
Nice voice! I think you could relax a bit more here and give this a more human touch. Also, check your diction on the word, “add.” I think you move to the next word too quickly and the “d” in add is a little lost.Sunlife2 is better! I think I would be great to warm this up even more. You might try slowing down and think about the person you’re speaking too. Hope that helps. And if you have a moment, I would welcome your feedback on 2 VO’s I just posted today: Congaree and American Gothic. Thank you!

ParticipantI listened to the Amex and SunLife. Thought they were both warm and friendly. Subtle intonation kept me listening.
