    Hey again, I went for a Friendly and Knowledgeable narration for this Dr. Seuss audio tour.
    Feel free to leave feedback on anything.
    Would you take this tour?

      You sound friendly and knowledgeable, professional as well. I really like how pleasant and resonant your voice is. Your read is really good! It’s hard to give feedback on it because there’s nothing really “wrong” with it. It sounds like a tour that would be in a museum. I sensed some genuine emotion in the read, but I think it would benefit from displaying more of that genuine emotion and personality. That would really make it “pop” above the competition in an audition I think. Because this narration is a little long (even though it’s just 1 minute, small attention span I guess), I think it’s very important to keep the listener’s attention. It seemed like you were reading a bit predictably, and by sounding more like a machine in some parts, my mind stopped paying as much attention. I would advise inviting more range in tone and genuine emotion to keep the listener’s attention. But regardless, this was a great read!

      Nice! There was a clear difference between all of you takes! Especially from the compassionate to the happy. Compassionate read sounded really sincere and caring! I wonder how they would sound if you slowed your pace a bit in the more confident reads. You sound confident but my brain had a hard time keeping up with the info you were saying. Great reads!

        Thank you Aliya. I really appreciate your feedback. A slower pace is a great suggestion.:)

      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!

    Hi everybody. I’m practicing for my narration demo and would love some feedback on this one. How’s the pace / is it conversational / any technical issues? Thanks!

      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!

      This was a very clean read and it does sound conversational. I would love to hear it paced just slightly faster, and I encourage you to lean more into the conversation.

      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.

      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.

      Great pacing, tone, and clarity! I love the expression you bring to this. With your voice having such a natural gravitas quality, feel like you could do even less and the intonations would still be there. You got more lighthearted as it went through which was fun.
