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.

Raiders one I feel it was very nice and but it sounds quiet but it’s good

[Steve Z-A]

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.

[Tates-VO]

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.

[Nikka Kowidge]

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!

[Nikka Kowidge]

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.

Can definitely hear the difference between these two. Well done 🙂

[Hazaro]

Still working on focusing on my attitude in my reads. Hope they’re coming through clearly.

Very nice difference between both reads. Subtle, but I could hear the difference.

Hello everyone,

I am practicing on my narration voiceover for homework. I would greatly like feedback. Recorded on phone, please excuse the low quality.

Very nice vocals and the pace is nice and slow good job

[ShellyMadison]

Great pace and you have a lovely, full tone to your voice. I recommend marking up a script to give emphasis to important phrases and really honing in on an audience in your mind. You vary your pitch, but otherwise each word seems to have the same weight so it is sounding a bit robotic.

Hi. The attached file was downloaded as a homework assignment. Feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks so much for your time.

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!
