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!

[Thomas_D]

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.

[Cheechman]

Thanks for the comments

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.

[Cheechman]

Thank you very much!

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

Greetings, I have 2 recordings that I would love some feedback on as I continue my journey to my demo. Thanks for the help!

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

[marioh5]

Hey Thomas, thanks for the feedback, super helpful!

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.

Hi Everyone! This is my first time using the forum. I’m working on recording my commercial demo reel. I’m open to any comments on my delivery, tone, pacing, or any general voice notes! No need to comment on the sound quality though, these were very much recorded on an iPhone and I’m aware a professional setup would be different haha. Thanks!

Hoping to do my narration demo very soon. Just started in on commercial, so I’m trying to bring a little of the oomph from that area into narration. Hoping I’m not losing any of the basics whilst focusing on that part. How’s it sound? Thanks for the input. I do read it and take it to heart.

Great read! Audio sounds good, real nice inflections and above all it was engaging. Only piece was the last two seconds at :38 came a little garbled and unsure if you said “killing”. Overall the whole read was easy to understand and flowed well.
