      Clear and pleasant voice. I’d just suggest to watch your breathing.

      I think your explanation of Liquidband was great. It was very clear and easy to follow. In the opening text, it took me a minute to understand what you were talking about. I think you could add a little pause before the brand name the first time you say it, and perhaps slow down that beginning section just a tad. The directions were very natural and sounded right in the pocket.

    I’d love feedback, specifically on pronunciation, pace and tone. Thanks so much for taking the time to listen!

      The 3 seem similar, but i agree that 3 is probably my fave. I wouldn’t hit the word “camouflage” because “Masters of camouflage” should sound like a unit and it breaks up the phrase. I’d just hit “Masters”. i also wouldn’t hit the word “Skill”, which will accentuate the words USE, and OTHER TOO (you may want to play around with not hitting “communicate” also, or hit it less).

      Hope this helps,
      Jeff

      I think as a submission your pace, tone, and pronunciation are dead on and appropriate for the material! Any of the 3 takes would be sufficient, though take 3 is my personal favorite.
      However, if you were submitting these 3 takes in an audition, i don’t hear much difference in tone or pacing between take 1 and take 3.

    I’m counting down to demo day. I’d love feedback on these 3 reads for a corporate narration script. Thanks!

    Hello everyone,
    Here are two recording for narration feedback. I tend to go quickly so would like feedback on my pacing as well as conversational style. The copy is listed below:

    Age of Samurai
    1551, Japan is in chaos. After centuries of rule, the central government has lost control… and the nation has been plunged into a brutal civil war.
    Anarchy reigns as heavily armed warlords called daimyo fight for power and territory.
    In the small province of Owari, in an unremarkable clan known as the Oda, one unlikely samurai is about to launch a blood-soaked campaign that will put thousands to the sword and set the course of Japanese history for the next 300 years.

    The Making of an Emperor
    It was the greatest empire the world has ever known. Unmatched in its brutality, its genius, its l**t for power. For centuries, Rome ruled over a quarter of the people on the planet. This series tells the story of six critical moments that shaped that empire. How it rose, how it became great, and how it fell.
    There are stories of great soldiers, huge battles, and doomed rebels. There are tales of love and betrayal. And there are the emperors. The mad, the cruel, and the brilliant. This is the 500-year story of the rise and fall of the civilization that shaped our own. And it starts with the most famous Roman of them all, Julius Caesar. How he overthrew the government he served and brought revolution to Rome.

      Hi Bill
      Great voice and pace but maybe a little smile while reading would go a long way I heard laughter but didn’t get that happy feeling from the read.

      I agree with pp the reads sound a little on the performance side, and would benefit from being more conversational (working on this as well my coach). I like your diction in the pieces, but I think as you work on them being more conversational the flow of your words and pitch will sound much better. Great job though!

      Pronunciation and diction are excellent and the reading is very smooth!
      My only notes are on tone and conversationality in both pieces. I played both pieces backn to back and the tone was remarkably similar.

    Working on a narration homework assignment, I posted one about a week ago but since then I got a new DAW (free trial version) and I’ve been playing around with it. Here’s a Superman narration I’ve been working on today.

      Daniel, this is excellent. The only critique I have is at :08, where you say “long.” It sounded a little like “log” and like you could have hung on to the “n” in “long” just a bit longer and made the “g” a little softer. Other than that, it was awesome.

        Thanks Steve! Now that I listen back to it I definitely hear that, I’m not sure why I didn’t hear it when editing. I guess I need to train my ears more 🙂 Also my Superman sounds a bit like Supermen lol
