Hi All,

Here are two more practice reads. My attempt here was to try and sound more natural without sounding like I’m reading from the script. Any and all feedback is welcomed, as always.

Thanks in advance

I feel like the ready player does more natural while other sounds it’s being rushed a little

Hi Thomas,

The Ready Player One recording feels a bit more natural to me. For Wise Man and Hope, I think it would beneficial for you to enunciate just a little bit more, and think of a friend as you speak.

Hey, can I have some feedback on this dialogue style voiceover? Feedback most appreciated. In terms o fdelivery, voice modulation, and overall quality?

Your delivery was great, maybe just differentiating the voices a bit more so it’s clear when it’s a different character. There was some background noise affecting the sound quality overall though.

Aside from technical issues. Can you please provide some feedback on my read? I am beginning to work on my commercial demo.

Trying for variety in my audience and tone. Will take and appreciate any feedback but specifically focused on providing multiple takes on the same script. TIA!

Sounded a little unsure in the second one, but then you bounced back. Felt the difference between the two and both appropriate for the spot.

Hi, Unity-

The overall read was good. Two things.. your words seemed to run together at “your” and “child”….sounded like “chore child.” Also sounded like you were “reading” towards the end (“Brought to you by Autism Speaks…..”).

Hi, Everyone-

I would appreciate some feedback (no technical/production related comments) for these two homework recordings, especially around overall flow. Thanks for your time!

You have such a clear, sweet and trustworthy voice. It flowed quite nicely as well. There were a couple of pauses in PNC that could maybe be tightened up a bit but a minor tweak that didn’t take away from the read IMO.

Hi Folks- This is my first time posting recordings and I look forward to working with you all. Thanks in advance for any feedback you might have. I am working in the narration genre and with these pieces I am wondering about my pace, and also the “conversational” vs “narrative” dilemma with my presentation. Thanks!

Good job with these zakon. The difference in tone for both was palpable and appropriate. As well as your clarity and pacing.

The earth one sounds clean like a documentary would sound like. Nice

Heer is another audition from Mandy’s. Script is below.
It’s a grandpa telling a story to kids.

Script to read: (Speaking to children in a gentle tone, telling a story).
‘Well, he had been in this place for such a long time he’d forgotten how it felt to do anything else.
I think he was scared to move. Scared of what might happen if he did.
‘ ‘I will come back tomorrow with another bowl of soup for you, a bit bigger than this one and even more magical!’
‘It’s all I could do.
The sad little fella had to make the choice for himself whether or not to move from the place he had been sitting for so long.
It was something that needed to change inside him and I knew it would take a little time so it was best to leave him be.’

Hi there Voice Over Artists!
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on this VO. I don’t have a pro setup yet, so not looking for technical notes, but welcome any and all thoughts. In particular I’m working on my pace and conversational delivery. Thank you!

I like the take, it sounds it’s very monotone it’s just need a bit more excitement.

[RCampos]

Thanks very much for the feedback. I’ll work on bringing a little more excitement.

Hello! I love this read. You totally made me want to visit Costa Rica again! Your pacing is great and definitely includes a conversational feel. I really liked how you hit the words Costa Rica in the middle of the reading. I have two suggestions: first, consider differentiating each of the items on the list. Using slightly distinct intonation you can highlight each last item.
Also, and this is personal preference, the part about no artificial ingredients sounds like a bit of lighthearted ribbing to me. I think it could stand a little bit more of a joke sound in your voice. I love your sound and tone overall.

[RCampos]

Really appreciate the feedback, Nikka – thank you!
