Hi, Everyone! I’m submitting a couple of practice reads for a homework assignment where I’m working on. I’d definitely appreciate feedback. Thanks

Your Amtrak read is great, but I feel like you could slow it down just a little bit.

[LindsayLaVelle]

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!

[Alli]

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

[mcarter]

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.

[billmull]

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.

[ShellyMadison]

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

[ShellyMadison]

Thank you for the feedback. 🙂

[Alli]

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!

[ShellyMadison]

Thank you for taking the time to have a listen! That is very helpful feedback.

[Hazaro]

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!

[ShellyMadison]

Much appreciated! And thank you for giving me both your time and feedback 🙂

[Hazaro]

These are 2 other scripts where I’m practicing alternate reads with a different attitude. Feedback appreciated.

Love your Movie Gallery read. The first had a nice dream like feel, like how I personally feel when I myself go to the movies. The second one had a bit more energy, which again, fits how I feel. Great work.

[ShellyMadison]

I love the energy in your voice. And well done differentiating your reads. The differences are subtle but I still think apparent. I would challenge you to go even bigger, even if just as an exercise. Could be interesting to see what you discover if you go crazy different for a read and just see how it feels.

[Hazaro]

Appreciate your feedback Shelly. I was thinking the same thing as far as going even bigger on the different reads so thank you!

[billmull]

Hello,

Attached is another read I would like feedback on. Once again, I am specifically interested in how conversational I sound.

This script is from the Edge Studio script library.

Thanks,

You have a perfect voice for this. It’s clear, sincere and professional. It did feel like you were reading though as opposed to being conversational. Maybe try speaking to and choosing one specific person you could direct this to rather than an audience. Might help to make it more relaxed and natural.

[billmull]

Thank you for your feedback.

[billmull]

Hello Folks,

I appreciate any feedback specifically on how conversational I sound.

This is an audition script. The long pauses between sentences are intentional. Each sentence corresponds to a slide and the direction was to make sure to pause between sentences.

Thank you,

This definitely felt conversational. Like I was in the room and you were walking us through the slides.

[billmull]

Thank you Hazaro

[Ksmack]

Hello everyone. Thank you so much on you’re feedback last time uploaded. It was extremely helpful in these recordings I have uploaded this time. I have been attempting to work on on my audio processing chain and I’m not sure if I overdid it on my Graphic EQ. Any feedback would be more than welcome. Thanks again.

Another practice read focusing on attitude. 2 versions.

Very nice! My initial reaction is that there is a sincerity to your voice which works well with the topic of the script. I can certainly hear the difference in attitudes between the two reads. I’m not sure if you only want feedback as to how apparent the difference is regarding “attitude”, or if you also want feedback on the specifics of the two recordings. If the latter, then here is my additional feedback:

Words-1: Given the weightiness of the topic I think it’s important not read too fast so that the listener has the time to let the message sink in. You seemed to move through the first few sentences a bit fast, but the pacing worked very well as you moved further through the script. Throughout you sound like you really believe what you are saying.

Words-2: The pacing on this one was very good. However, towards the end of the script a tentative quality crept into your voice which made it sound like you aren’t entirely convinced of what you are saying and you are asking for the listeners agreement.

[Hazaro]

Thank you so much Billmull. While I was focusing more specifically on attitude in these reads, I welcome the additional feedback. I agree with your assessments considering the piece but left it for the exercise. Appreciate you taking the time to listen!
