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.

So, I was letting myself get caught in obsessiveness about getting these perfect before I posted them, until I managed to remind myself that’s…kind of the point, isn’t it?
Fumbling at commercial and narration/ e-learning. It might be obvious I have more of a head for the E-learning angle at the moment.
Of note, I’m aware of the mouth clicks, and how that would need to be fixed. That said, any advice on that besides ‘adjust foods’ is welcome: microphone distance, messing with the gain, etc. alongside any other feedback. Of all of these I’m happiest thus far with the second E-learning take and the Social Security take, but! Never done any of these genres before, so I’m a bit adrift!

Really nice reads on all of these! They all seem to be at a good volume but Social Security was a little bit quiet. If the gain was the same for all 4 takes you may have been a little far from the mic? I know I sometimes back away from the mic when I’m concerned about mouth sounds so I don’t know if maybe that was a factor here. Even still, not so quiet that it couldn’t do with a little boost in whatever software you’re recording with.
