    Hi everyone!

    I’m practicing colouring my reads with various believable attitudes. I would love feedback on the believability of my attitude. Let me know if you sense a different attitude than what I intended. I would also appreciate any technique advice, like on the flow of the read, glottal stops, and pauses. Thanks in advance!

      I like this one – I read it a while back. Good work, no matter the inflection, getting your mouth around all of it.

      Definite differences in what’s coming across. I would say you could feel the enthusiasm in #3, but you could probably crank it up a bit more – might be easier with a different subject, but, y’know. As to detached, I would call it more “sleepy.” It sounds as though you’re reading it as though bored, not as though you’re narrating something that just happens to be dry.

      Your voice is very approachable. I bet, with a different script – one with acting and required emotion – you’d REALLY shine. As for taking this one on as a control – great idea.

    Hello,

    I’ve attached two reads in advance of my next session. I’d appreciate any feedback on the reads themselves. Many thanks in advance!

      The Beringer read is believable(doesn’t sound like you’re reading) and confident. It’s great that your attitude shifts to be more warm when mentioning that “everything we’ve learned is yours to enjoy, every time you pour a glass of our wine.” because more warmth fits what’s being said there. I advice practicing the script with other attitudes as this one was very serious. Try more warm attitudes for example, like thankful, Playful, reminiscent.

      The serious attitude of the Wachovia read fits, though it’s always helpful to practice with other attitudes than the obvious. Try to incorporate more flow from word-to-word, in Wachovia the words are very blocked off from each other so that it sounds a little choppy.

      Nice read on Jack the Ripper, very engaging and kept my attention also your flow is good
      Be careful with over exaggerating your words.

      Financial Advise-The pace is slow and should be a little faster, your pausing frequently causes the read to be choppy try reading this script the way you did at the beginning of Jack the Ripper. Also, be aware of glottal stops as you had quite a few in this read, be mindful also of Ta which should be Too.

      Hi Tates. I like how you chose a tone with each one and the first 2 were relatively easy to follow but be mindful of keeping the pace and not speeding up too much.
      The meditation was clearer throughout – rushing just a bit at the end. Felt you could have been more relaxed with it if the listener is to do the same. Really liked your energy in the Doc on Jazz but the pacing got too fast as you rushed words in the beginning and towards the end of sentences that got lost.

      Overall on these I would say to be mindful of your pacing and diction. It sounds like you’re rushing through the text and words get swallowed and lost.

      Your voice has certainly drawn me in. I was thinking, “Yes, what about Amelia Earhart? Do go on.” So kudos there.

    Happy Halloween all.I have attached a few more demos for my last class before my demo prep. I have been concentrating on my audio processing chain such as graphic EQ and compression, normalization. Feel free to listen and Critique. Thank you so much for your feedback last time. Thanks.
