The Edge Studio Feedback Forum is the best place for you to post a recording and get feedback from the community! Record in your home studio, upload the file, and see what people think. This is a great place to get some advice on your technique, on your home studio, or to ask for people’s opinion on your reads. Remember, that this is a community forum, so please remain positive and encourage your peers in helpful ways. If Edge Studio feels that a user is too negative, or antagonizing other members of the community, they will have their posts deleted, and risk being banned from further communication.
Stay positive, listen to each other, and have fun!

Hello gorgeous people!
Wanted to post a couple takes from practice this week. I’m working in my coaching on varying my sound and tone for different types of commercials, using pace in a way that makes sense for each script. I’m also still working on developing my spanish language scripts! If you speak spanish or have an ear for it, would you take a listen?
Keep in mind I’m still only recording on my phone and not looking for technical feedback! Thank you!-
Really liked your pace and tone for Nike. Purina was a lighter tone in comparison and started well, would have loved to have heard more of it to see how you played it out to make a better assessment. My apologies as I can’t really give feedback on Spanish Allstate but the tone and energy was definitely different!

Hello again! I really appreciate this forum for the feedback I’ve received so far and learning from simply listening to you all work! Hoping to comment some more soon to try to be a modicum of helpful.
Would love some feedback on these to take into my next coaching session. Much thanks!

Another order from the boss (meaning my coach). I picked these two out myself to try to practice being a character without obviously affecting my voice. There’s a little vocal effect there in terms of accent in the “I Am Anxiety” read, but I hope it’s subtle yet distinct enough from my “normal” voice reading the tag at the end. I wanted to do an English accent for the former, since it’s all about fantasy, but I felt 1) the accent would be too obvious a vocal change and 2) the artist who designed the product being talked about is an American who primarily illustrated for American products.

Love it! Great reads and vocal range. The anxiety character was excellent, the way you hit the consonants at the end of words and used a staccato for the lists really made me feel the anxiety! I also really appreciated the shift into the “info” voice at the end.
The Franklin mint one was also great. I loved the vocal tone. This read was long and technical, maybe it could benefit from a little more variety in tone or pacing.

Hi All,
I welcome your feedback on my pace in this VO. Recorded on cell phone, so no need for technical notes. Does this sound conversational? Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts.-

I liked the pacing and enjoyed this read. It felt like the opening of documentary…and somehow the cell phone sounded like the actual distress call you were referring to was playing in the background and only lended to its authenticity! LOL

Good Evening,
Looking for some feedback on a couple samples for an upcoming commercial demo. Inflection, pacing, and if I sound human or more robotic is helpful. Thanks!

Hello! Not sure if you’ve already recorded this demo but thought I’d give some feedback! Re: Stihl: Really good read. I think if in the booth the main thing that would come up/be re-done is the way you say “three” in the beginning. It seems to go a little high. Mountain America is another great read… I’d only suggest adding a smile when you’re saying “A smile” in the beginning. I couldn’t really “hear” a smile from you. Overall… awesome job and I think your demo is going to be great… good luck!

Hello all! I have some recordings for my second commercial assignment that I’d love some feedback on. (part 3)

The Tire spot sounded the best overall in tone, pacing and clarity. Very natural! (I think the disclaimer gets sped up if needed in post, though you can clearly do fast! LOL)
Really liked your tones for Crayola and Beringer. I would say just to be careful as some words sounded rushed rather than inflected, and then got lost. Tennessee Whiskey felt a bit disconnected – it’s anthem writing style not the most conversational to begin with. Maybe you can try responding to someone asking the question “But where are you born from?” to see if that might help the flow of it.

Howdy and hello!
This is my first time posting to the forum. I’m looking for any and all critiques and comments you have. I’m specifically working on my diction, especially endings of words, pace, and that ever important conversational tone. Recorded on phone voice memo app.Thanks in advance!

Shelly, welcome to the forum! I’ll list out what I noticed. Volume sounds good, your voice is great, and I liked your drop off with “begins, here.” The others that stood out are a lot of plosives. I’m not sure if you are using a pop filter and/or how close you are to your mic but ~6″ is good and you can kinda talk over, under or to the side of the mic depending on which one you have and whether it’s inverted or not. I can also hear all your breathes distinctly. Sometime breathes are good but you can dial them down in editing for narration purposes so it’s less noticeable. I’m gonna look at your Bayer clip next.
