      Just took a gander at your ALA read. While your pitch range was kept tight, I think you could’ve stretched it a little more while still keeping a serious tone. You always want to keep your potential audience engaged. Also, there’s a couple spots where your mic caught your intake of breath.

      For comparison, I also listened to your Arby’s read. Perhaps it’s because my initial acting “training” came from mimicking Tim Curry’s performances, but I think you really should work on getting comfortable with a broader pitch range when you record. There’s only a subtle difference in overall tone between the two, which may be what you were going for, but I would think a more obvious difference between commercials would demonstrate a better range of usefulness to a potential client.

      Needs more emotion, more authentic.

      Also the sound needs alot of work, as in microphone or sound proofing.

    I’ve been working on my natural delivery. Which one of these takes sounds more natural?

    Balducci’s

    Can your food market pass a simple taste test?
    At Balducci’s, we put taste first.
    This spring, we’re loading up our stores with fresh and chef-crafted foods that are simply bursting with flavor.
    Like majestic orange wild king salmon, flown in daily.
    And specialties like champagne ham, slow-smoked over hickory chips and glazed with pineapple juice and brown sugar.
    Now there’s a store that puts taste first.
    Balducci’s.
    The food lover’s market.

    Thanks for listening!

      Just getting into commercial myself. Adding more oomph and emotion is challenging me. I can feel it trying to come out in your recordings. Maybe listen to “flown in daily” and see if that sounds a little bit as though it’s being read. As if it’s in parentheses. Not the way someone would speak.

      Punctuation is a stumbling block for me. I read it and it can sound that way. Making it sound more conversational is the challenge. Picture telling someone about this. May not be the words you’d use, but kind of a looser flow. I think maybe lifting the ends of some of your words/sentences might help, but not everyone speaks that way and you don’t want to make it sound as thought you’re asking a question. But it can bring a little more spontaneous sound, I think.

      I thought #2 was the best. Good work. Keep at it.
