      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.

        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!

      Dang. Your voice was made for this commercial. I would say turn the music down a few notches, cause in some places it’s hard to hear your voice

      Great job, great voice. Not sure if it was the music being a touch over your voice or having to hit the 30 second mark- just lost a couple of words here and there. “For both”, and the “making” in winemaking. But super minor as it’s a lovely read!

      You have such a soothing sweet voice, it made me giggle to hear your “s***w it” at the end! This started off and ended well. The middle was a bit staccato as it sounded like you were reading – though depending on where your script was, maybe having trouble seeing the lines? (Been there)

    Hi All. Currently trying to hone in on my attitude choices for commercial reads. Two takes for each to practice this. Would love to know if it is apparent for each. Thanks so much.

      Aside from some technical sound issues, I really liked this read. Your pacing, enthusiasm and inflections were engaging and spoken clearly. Good job!

    Hey all!
    Trying to expand genres and go where the $. Check out these 2 samples. One is a Johnnie Walker ad and the other is an infomercial. Tell me what you think.

    Thanks in advance and I’ll be listening out for you!

      Great job with the Beta Prostate. Your voice is great for Johnny Walker as well, though I really would have liked to have heard your point of view with it on that one as the copy could be played with. Like, were you containing excitement to discover it in a store near you that never carried it before? Or were you surprised to find it in your cupboard at home after a long days work because you were craving it? Have fun with it to see what comes through. Your voice will naturally support it!

    Hi guys, I’ve been trying to perfect this poetry read from Edgar A Poe’s The Raven.
    Let me know what you think.

    I appreciate the feedback.

      As poetry/storytelling is subjective, everyone will have their own opinion. Your voice is great and IMO, I loved what you brought to this.Nice! Technically, all I noticed was the word “weak” in the beginning was lost and it dropped off.

    Feel free to critique the read, but mostly looking for feedback on the sound quality. This is with a slight noise reduction added and normalized to -3db. Any feedback is appreciated.

      Not an expert in sound quality by any means, but it sounded good in the beginning then towards the end started to hear what sounded like an a/c or fan?

      Loved what you brought to these reads. The sound is a bit echoey (is that even a word?), but your read is authentic and true. Great work!

      Mailboxes etc: Your voice is great! The only thing I would do is compare this recording to how it sounds in a raw format. I could hear some Compression or editing in your voiceover file that made it sound a little bit like AI.
      Special-K: It sounds like a cold read. Remember to breathe when necessary to give the copy of the read more enthusiasm so that the product sounds desirable.

      Of course, if it was only meant to be a cold read, then that’s okay too.
