    Hello all,

    I am hoping someone would be kind enough to provide me a listen to my demo sample for narration? I think I have put together my first acceptable sounding demo sample but I would love some feedback before I continue on. Thank you in advance for taking time out of your day to read this. Good luck in your own voice over endeavors.

      Love the tamber of your voice. Sorry no one responded to this (was trying to scroll backwards to look for uncommented submissions). This read is effective but I’d love to hear a second option leaning more towards playfulness and excitement. This read I can envision over a very laid back scene of beach lounging, and I think the words could also fit over images of water sports, dancing, hibachi flames and other higher octane all-inclusive resort offerings. Great work!

    Hello, fellow Voice Actors! Thank you in advance for your both your creative and technical feedback to these two commercial reads. Are they convincingly conversational? Is the diction Ok, and are the pacing and flow effective and reflective of the scripts? Any technical comments on the audio quality welcome too. I sincerely appreciate your critiques and direction. Thank you! Best, Alex

      I think the diction and pacing are great on both of these! The only thing that jumped out at me is that the first one could be a little bit louder. Great job!

    Hi, Marioh5, overall, your tone is nice. Regarding the motivation meditation, imagine you’re speaking directly to/engaging with the person and less like like you’re reading to them. In terms of the public service read, sounded fine until the last few seconds where it sounded as though you were reading.

    Hi, Everyone! I’m submitting a couple of practice reads for a homework assignment where I’m working on pace. I’d definitely appreciate feedback on that aspect. Thanks so much for your time!

      Your voice is lovely for advertising. Bright and expressive while also having a smooth quality. My recommendation is to take these scripts and play with accentuating different words to see if you can vary up the read. For example, with the BMW ad, your emphasis on the word “new” makes it sound like the comparison is between old and new versions of that car, but the read is actually comparing other cars “arrived” to the BMW’s “sooner” arrival. Listing to both ads, I think you definitely have the range to play around and get a variety of takes for each one to market yourself with.

    Hello friends,

    Here are two more practice reads (Jaguar, and Jack Daniels) for my narration/commercial practice. I’ll be scheduling my first demo soon, so want to make sure I’m progressing in the right direction. Any and all feedback will be helpful. Thanks in advance

      Hi Thomas, you have a nice voice, perhaps just a bit more emotion in your reads, the biggest takeaway is Jaguar, your recording got cut off perhaps in editing about 1/3 in, also check the correct pronunciation of Jaguar although there seems to be a differing of opinions but I would check an ad to try and match the pronunciation as done on ads, good luck!

        Thanks marioh5! I tell ya…I searched three different ads for the correct pronunciation, mostly leaning towards the European way of saying it, but I’ll do a few more searches to see if there’s a common thread.

        Will check the edit again as well, as I may need to reduce some audio peaks in certain places.

    Another batch for comments.

    Maybe I’m trying too hard, but i like to submit more than one.

    Trying to vary the reads.

      Hey Cheechman, 2-2 sounds the best to me of the three. Sounds like you gave it more energy while still retaining your natural voice. Take #3 sounds like you want to give more energy but at the cost of maybe losing your natural voice. However, I do like the attention of detail you give to each word, in all 3 takes. That’s something that I struggle with for sure.

    Here is my latest from coaching.

    I tried to sound 2 different ways in my reads.

    What do you think?

    Comments are more than welcome

      Wow, what a great voice! The first read has a seriously great vibe but I think I prefer the second read. It has a more varied pitch range which gave it some extra intrigue.

        Thank you very much!

        It’s hard for me to vary, i get into a mode and every read sounds somewhat the same.

      Hey Marioh5,both were interesting reads, and I like how clear your diction is in each. For “Motivation-meditation”, the biggest take away for me is sounding like you sympathize, with the scared listener. So maybe using a bit more emotion to convey the feeling of sympathizing with being scared

    Hi. I’ve been asked to submit voice samples from my home studio with no music production for a possible vo job. They asked for a relaxed, sincere tone. Thanks for input.
