    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

      Your annunciation and pace are spot on to me in all 4 reads. I would say my favorite of the 4 is the Austin read, it reads as you being an ambassador of the city trying to drive tourism there. I get nearly the same feel from the Italy and Alaska reads but to a slightly lesser degree. Out of the 4 Cancun feels the least genuine but it’s still excellent. I wish I could pinpoint what it is that I’m hearing.
      Keep in mind I’m brand new to voice over and commenting is part of my homework assignment, I am by no means qualified to critique anyone 🙂
      All in all, I really enjoyed all 4 reads, I would just personally rank Austin as the best.

        Thanks. You don’t sound like you’re new, so keep at it.

      I listened to all 3 recordings and it really sounds like you’ve found your niche with your voice. In terms of pacing, diction, and conversational quality it’s all there.
      My only critique is the same that my coach gave to me and that is micropausing that sometimes interrupts the flow and makes it feel a little choppy!

        Thank you for the feedback. That has been a comment from my coach as well. I keep putting imaginary commas in there.

    Good evening. Little bit late uploading for my upcoming session. Hopefully my last before demo prep. Feel free to critique. Thank you.

      I love the quality of your voice and your range is great for these copy!
      I do think what will help with the diction is to slow the pace down a little. “When aspiring writer Zora…” all got a bit blended together, for example.
      Possibly, to practice, do a recording that you feel is actually *way too slow* but intentionally over enunciate every word. You should be able to feel the difference in your diction from when you are intentional with every consonant!
