Acura Commercial Practice – Looking for some feedback before my next coaching session! Things I was told to work on in the past include – Pacing – too fast, getting lazy with enunciation and pronunciation of multi syllable words, dreaded glottal stops.
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Edited with Audacity – noise reduction, compressed, amplified and exported to mp3.

Hey everyone! My biggest challenge has been moving from a more “announcer” read to a more conversational tone. It is still definitely a work in progress, but let me know your thoughts. The first is an in-show narration read and the second is a more self-help style read.

Hello and good morning fellow VO peers. I would like feedback and critique on a recording I did based of a Telephony script, called Franklin Investments, from Edge Studio’s Free Script Library. I need to know some specific things such as:
If my pacing is too slow, fast, or just right?
Does it sound conversational and convincing?
Are you able to understand each word I say while reading the script?Thank you in advance.

You have a very pleasing voice to listen to! One thought I had during your read, was that the pace could be quickened a bit. You are clear and understandable, but I bet if you can speed up the read a bit you can still keep those points. Toward the end when reading the number prompts, it seemed a bit choppy. You may want to try and adjust the pauses in each phrase so that there is no breath break. For example, something like “if you would like to leave a message (no pause) please press two now”. Great job!

Hi. I’d love some creative only feedback. I’m working on pacing, pitch and a conversational delivery. I appreciate your time.

Hi there! firstly, I just want to say that I’m a newbie and I’m not used to giving constructive feedback, but I guess one has to start somewhere! I don’t have all the lingo down perfectly either. I did enjoy your reads, but I wanted to confirm these are narration focused? I found the Reach for the top read was more upbeat than the Toddler Art one. It seemed like you were more confident in this one. Your voice reminds me of an actress and it’s very pleasant to listen to. Noticed some stops in a couple areas that didn’t seem to belong there. I think the more you practice it the more natural it will become – especially if you try to imagine you are talking to your best friend about these topics!

Hey guys!
I’m trying to get better at commercial copy that is little more serious. Tried an automotive script. Let me know what you think!

Mike, just got around to listening to this. I would say you have a lot of the ‘authoritative’ nuances in place. Namely the drop in pitch at the end of sentences. There is an awful lot of script for a 30-sec ad here, so the pace is justified. I think I would watch the exhales on certain words, especially the phrases near the end.
Not sure if you are expecting any comments on sound quality, but if so, I think you could use some processing to eliminate more noise and strengthen the voice some to match that wonderful, clean articulation. Maybe even get a bit closer to the mic to reduce some of the room that is present.
All in all, I was impressed with the read on a somewhat complicated script. A lot going on in there, and you worked it out…!
