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!

Hi voiceover friends! I would love any feedback excluding production value as my home studio is not yet up and running, on this record. I’m specifically working on conversational tone and illuminating glottal stops. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hi Nikka,
I think you nailed the conversational tone on JIF. Very nice! A few small critiques:
1. At the very top, I think you rushed “My kids” just a touch, so that it gets buried. I think those words could use a little more emphasis.
2. “the” in the three leading brands gets muffled. This might get taken care of with a more sophisticated audio setup, but I do hear you drop your tone on that word, and the first time I listened I wasn’t sure it was a “the”.
3. At the end, JIF Peanut Butter – maybe try going up in intonation rather than down. After your great read, the VO seems to peter out.
Those are all small tweaks. Overall your read sounds very natural and conversational.
I would welcome your feedback on my Costa Rica VO, posted 10-27 at 7:57 EST. Thank you!

And last one before a session on attitude focus. Realize the sound got a bit muffled in the second one, construction all of a sudden was happening and bummed that I couldn’t rehearse for a bit longer.

Hi Unity,
I think your voice and delivery bring a gravitas and seriousness – which are both essential to this issue. I just have a couple of small notes:
1. At the very beginning, I don’t hear the “s” in “As a parent…”
2. I think you could give more emphasis to “Autism Speaks” and the “Ad Council” at the end, since presumably they’re paying for this ad and want to be clearly identified.
But other than that, nice conversational tone and effective delivery.
If you have a moment, I would greatly appreciate a comment on my Costa Rica VO, posted 10-27 at 7:57pm. I also have a Cool Jazz VO – posted on 10-25. Thank you!

Hi Everybody!
I would really appreciate your feedback on this read. I’m working on a conversational read while still honoring the “smooth coolness” of a jazz radio station.-

You’ve certainly got the voice for “cool jazz.” Reminds me of the hosts of some jazz stations in New York.

I think your voice and the tone you chose matches the script very well. One critique – It sounds to me as if you end most sentences the same way. Shooting for differentiation particularly at the end of your sentences would help to pace the read and keep listeners engaged. I hope you find this helpful

Hi Silver Wit,
I like what you’re doing in version 2, but overall, I prefer version 1 because it’s cleaner and clearer. Version 2 gives me a sense that you’re acting out the headache, and this thought distracts me a bit from your words. I like how you vary the intonation on: throbbing, tension and pain – but I think a more upbeat ending might help. I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on my Cool-Jazz read above. Thank you!
