    Duracell Quantum Batteries TV Audio Track

    This Duracell truck has some very special power.
    It’s filled with new Duracell Quantum batteries.
    These red batteries are so powerful that this year
    they’ll power all the Hasbro toys donated to “Toys for Tots”.
    Wanna help power some smiles?

      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.

    Wanted to add one more longer narration than my previous upload. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

      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!

      I really like how clear your words are and the diction sounds good. I think it could be more conversational however, the tone and pitch are staying at the same level through most of the piece, so it doesn’t sound like you’re having a conversation with someone about Almond Breeze. I’m working on this with my coach as well, but she has some great pointers on reminding me to think of someone specific and concentrate on them through out the “conversation”.
