    Posting my first practice read! This is a documentary narration. Open to any reactions or suggestions. Thanks!

      Hi djmetzner I liked how your voice was very consistent and how mysterious it was when reading the script it sounds good.

      Hi djmetzner! Liked how even you kept the pitch and tone throughout the recording. I feel like it’s hard not to change pitch/tone when doing a documentary read, but thought you did a great job here.

    Hey all, would appreciate some feedback on the attached. These are from the studio library – I’ve been trying to focus in on narration.

    Thank you!

      Hey verderbert90! Off the bat, the “advanced technologies” read sounded very natural, and your tone was great as well. I see where you were going for the wiseman narrations. For those, I’m wondering if you can even play more with pitch/tone.

      Great voice, and great Nike read. I feel that you could pick up the pace a little in the first half of your newmans read, because the second half of that is spot on.

        Thank you very much, I actually wrote the Newman add and at first my pace was much quicker, I cut 8 seconds from the original so I need to find my happy pace,I have had just 2 lessons and I am learning my recording equipment.🙂

      Hi raven I like the video game take and it sounds sarcastic which is very cool and I didn’t hear anything in the background so your all good

      You capture the tone well and are a very good reader. I would love to hear a connection to who you’re talking to though, to really reel me in with your authentic self.

    Hi, this is my first time on here so please ignore the lack of editing (i.e. background noise). Thank you for the feedback!

      Hi Raven. Your clarity, tone and inflection are all there, great job on that. It does sound a bit forced however, I think if you can connect to the material and personalize it more, it would really elevate it to sound more natural.

    A few more for feedback. Anything helps and I’m grateful for it. From the same assignment working on being even more specific in my commercial reads. Thank you in advance!

      Great reads! One thought I had may be to try out different patterns or variations of pitch.

      I’d say my biggest bit of feedback would be to use a bit more pauses in your read. You know the material well, just give it some room to breath

        Thank you for that. I try to gauge how long the spot might be, but realize I might be editing a bit too tightly!

    Would love feedback on any of these. Working on getting even more specific with my commercial reads. Thanks so much!

    I have my first-ever narration recording next week and I’m a bit nervous hahaha – I’d love feedback on these!! (In coaching, we’re working on my modulation/emphasis, pace, and not being too choppy.)

      The college one suits your voice really well! It felt informative and engaging.

      Nice energy in Mattel and nice pacing in Fibromyalgia. Your voice is great for the college narration – the pacing sped up a bit after a little flub and got rushed though. Don’t worry about that as you can go back and record over it no one will know! 😉
