Hi everyone it’s nice to meet you! I’d appreciate some feedback regarding pacing and whether these commercial samples are engaging. Don’t have a home recording studio yet, working on the technical aspects. Thank you
Very nice read of peas and carrots. It sounds like you felt it and I especially like the bit of magic you create at the end with “let your adventure begin.” Just a few minor critiques. You fade a bit at the end and I think instead you should emphasize the last words. The words “games” and “activities” run together for me. I think you could make a tiny pause in between them and also differentiate how they sound. Finally – you emphasize “your” and I don’t think you need to. I think that rhythmically it would sound better to put the emphasis on “account.” I would much appreciate any feedback you can give me on my Cool-Jazz read above. Thanks!
I like the attitude in this read a lot – it gets my attention. Your clarity and diction is great, but there are a few little spots I’d like to point out. The “x” in complex and the “ss” in boss get a little lost. Maybe your tone is dropping here at the end of the phrase? The only other note I have is that Burts Bees should probably get a bit more oomph, since they’re paying for the spot. I would much appreciate any feedback you can give me on my Cool-Jazz read above. Thank you!
Hey community! I’m trying to narrow down some texts for my demo. Any feedback is appreciated. These were not recorded with professional equipment, so I realize the quality isn’t up to standard.
My apologies as I couldn’t decipher if Toddle 1 and 2 was the same text or not but all of these sounded good to me and very appropriate for your voice. i think you posted them before and could hear the improvement. Great job!
Hello – I’d appreciate reviews and comments on these items and how the home studio comes across. No need to be gentle. One is a Narration and two are commercials. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Hey Joekett,
Just listened to Merceded-C class. I really like your full voice for this ad. It matches the subject very nicely. Here are just a few minor notes:
1. I hear you differentiating these features: “blue tooth,” “sirius satellite radio” and “surround sound system”. But – I think you could embellish even more. It’s like this car is designed to go to the moon.
2. I think when you finish saying “surround sound system,” you should still have a question mark in your tone (you go down in tone on “system”, so it sounds more declarative than inquisitive).
3. You do a similar thing on “speeds” – you abandon the questioning tone, which is part of what is driving this VO
I really like your ending line. You deliver that so nicely, with just a hint of humor. Makes me want a Benz.
I would very much appreciate your comments on my Costa Rica VO, posted 10-27 at 7:57, or my Cool Jazz VO, posted on 10-25.
Thanks very much and all the best,
R
Your voice/accent seem well suited for the Amtrak read. I heard more of the content with the second listen, so maybe either slow down a bit or emphasize the key words a bit more. I enjoyed it!
Hello Everyone,
Im working on my narration reads and would appreciate some feedback. Ive been working on my pacing by slowing down in my reads without adding global stops as well as my diction. How did i do?

You have such an interesting voice Alli! Your pacing sounded great. There does seem to be a bit of over emphasizing here and there but I get that you’re practicing and working stuff out. Your read is naturally dynamic and soon that will be all that shines through. Great job!
For some reason my uploading got a bit weird and i couldnt delete the extra uploads. There should only be 2 files, there are no differences with the multiple uploads
Hey everybody! I’m looking for some feedback on this recording as part of my first homework assignment with Edge. I’m new at this, so any criticism is desired. Thank you!
Hey! I would say you had a pretty good and clear read.. My only suggestion would be to slow down your pace so that your listener would have time to absorb the information
Hi All! Looking for any feedback on this copy. Anything that sticks out to you about the read is helpful. Not in a treated space, so not as concerned about tech notes at the moment. Thank you!
Great pacing, and you really nailed the tone. My only little, itty-bitty nit pick is the way you ended the read sounded like you were going to say more but got cut off.
Sounds good to me. Nothing is jumping out as noticeably problematic. One minor thing is that you might want to annunciate a bit better the words “meal planning”, but that’s minor.
I will take any and all feedback. Particularly working on my pacing and diction. I struggle with vowel glottal stops and am trying to keep my mixture of southern and midwestern accent (thanks mom and dad lol) out of my readings. I’m also curious of thoughts on tone appropriateness for the nature of each piece. Thanks in advance.
Loved the HomeTour read. I think the tone you chose for each was just what they needed to be, I am very impressed! My chief feedback is to be careful of vocal fry on the last word of some of your sentences, I think I heard it most in the College-tour read. Well done
Although I think you had a great read and tone for the scrips you have chosen, I would be careful to make sure you are pronouncing the “d” at the end of your words (I get this feedback from my coach a lot too and do understand the awkwardness of it). Otherwise, I hear nothing wrong with your accents and thinks it gives it more character in your reads!
These were great Shelly. The pacing and diction felt right-wasn’t really aware of the glottal stops and any pauses I noticed were mostly between sentences which could just be edited tighter. The tone also felt appropriate for each. Thought you did a great job!
