The Edge Studio Feedback Forum is the best place for you to post a recording and get feedback from the community! Record in your home studio, upload the file, and see what people think. This is a great place to get some advice on your technique, on your home studio, or to ask for people’s opinion on your reads. Remember, that this is a community forum, so please remain positive and encourage your peers in helpful ways. If Edge Studio feels that a user is too negative, or antagonizing other members of the community, they will have their posts deleted, and risk being banned from further communication.
Stay positive, listen to each other, and have fun!

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to sound relatable and genuine in this Beethoven Narration. I would love your feedback.
Feel free to comment on sound quality or anything else!-
Love it. I could hear this in a documentary. Very nice to listen to and easy to follow. Your cadence has a nice staccato rhythm without being choppy but I wonder what would happen if you would smooth out a few of the sentences to connect phrases/thoughts. which would add a nice contrast to your natural rhythm. Really nice overall!

Really nice! You have easy to listen to tone. I agree with Jadethevo as well. I think you could achieve more of the conversational tone you are looking for just by picking up the pace of the read a little, and/or getting rid of intra-sentence micro pauses (example is the list at the top of the script). I’m super cognizant of this because of my own coaching sessions. Keep up the great work!

Loved Six Flags! You did a great job acting, and making distinctions between the different “no”s. I think for Ancient Mysteries, you needed just a little bit more of a deeper inhale before you started, it sounded like you were losing your breath a bit with each word. Still pretty good, though.

Hello,
I would appreciate any feedback as to how conversational I sound. I am not looking for feedback regarding recording quality.
The script is from Edge Studio’s script library.
Thanks,

Your voice sounds really clear with great enunciation. I think you’re getting there with the conversational aspect. I don’t quite feel as an audience member that you’re talking to me. It still has a manufactured sort of robotic tone to it. I advice choosing someone you have a relationship with in real life and REALLY talking to them while still enunciating words well like you do. Practice makes it easier. Forget that you’re recording or putting on a performance and focus on your intent in speaking to your imagined person.

You have a very nice clear voice, with great enunciation. However, the tones used for these two reads don’t match or make sense with the message so the attitude you gave seemed disconnected from the message to me. So I would say try to integrate the attitude with the words or message, so it’s believable that these are your words.

Hi, Everyone! I’m submitting a couple of practice reads for a homework assignment I’m working on. I’d definitely appreciate feedback. Thanks

I like the ACS read very much. The only thing that struck me was the way you read the first sentence, i.e. “It’s tough to quit smoking.” You read it in a kind of matter of fact way, almost too matter of fact. I suspect that someone who has struggled with quitting smoking would say this with more conviction. Otherwise, awesome read!
As far as “Jazz-Radio” goes, it’s been a while since I’ve listened to commercial radio, but the beginning of this sounded much too slow and low key. I think more excitement would work better especially towards the beginning. But your deep voice certainly sounds like it has excellent potential for radio imaging.

Hello, fellow VO folks!
I’m looking for feedback on these reads, nothing technical though.
Take 1 & 2 I tried to vary the intonation and pacing, Take 3 was an attempt to sound more conversational. Take 4 was me winging it, and trying to match my voice to what I imagined the visuals might convey.
Thanks in advance for the constructive feedback!

Hi everyone,
I’m practicing presenting different attitudes. I’ll appreciate feedback on the believability and any other technique tips. I was going for motivated without too much excitement in the last audio but it doesn’t seem to me like it came off as very motivated. What do you think? Thanks in advance!note: In this script, there are actions that are meant to be taken in between the phrases so that’s why it probably sounds a bit disjointed. Like I’m supposed to interact with a cashier using my coins checkout app, then leave the coffee with the good news.

Hi,
Nice job!
You sound believably excited across all three reads, but I’m not sure I was picking up so much on differences in attitude. The excitement in the “awkward” version may have been slightly muted but still excited.
The excitement in your voice comes across as motivated across all three reads not only the “motivated” version.
Just my thoughts.
