Good Evening, everyone!

I have here another recording, for practice! Feedback or criticism of any kind is much appreciated, as usual.

Since my previous entry, nothing has changed. I’m looking for opinions on glottal stops, involving words that end with ‘st,’ ‘ps,’ ‘xt,’ as well as words with the usual ‘t’ in them. You know the ones, lol. Also, I tried my best to keep the reading at a moderate pace, so please let me know how I did there!

Personally, I feel that I could’ve varied the word ‘babbling’ a bit more, but hey.

All the “t”s sounded great to me! I’m not sure if it was intentional or part of the scripts but some “pauses” seemed a little long in between words (i.e. after “talking” and before “blue”) but if that was intentional, nevermind! And your voice compliments the script well!

[Hazaro]

No glottal stops stood out to me, thought it sounded great. The last ‘poke” in “Pokemon” got slightly lost, but easy fix. Read was great IMO!

Hello everyone, I have another practice attempt in preparation for my upcoming narration demo record. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi Dominic your tone was good and pace was just right and it sounds like your ready to offer a deal to buy so nice job

[Hazaro]

These are great Dominick, you have a natural storytelling vibe. Pacing, enunciation and tone are all there. I felt that Earth Doc could have been a touch more more intimate as it seemed like you were shouting a bit, but overall these were great!

[solin232]

Hi, I enjoyed both of your reads ! didn’t notice anything negative that stands out to me. I thought your pacing was good and you kept me engaged through both reads, great job!

[Artist7]

Thanks for the positive, helpful feedback, latyesemca! Will try to incorporate the good tips during the next read!

[AJS10]

Hello! Would love some input on this file — mainly looking for input on the audio quality not so much performance. Right now I’m just focusing on how my voices sounds, background, etc, to see if I need any home studio improvements – if you’re tech-savvy enough to help! Thank you!!

Hi AJS10, wouldn’t necessarily call myself an expert but listening closely to and the audio sounds really clean to me! Didn’t hear any extraneous noises in the background at all.

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!

[Carita]

Would love some feedback on these two recordings.

The voice was pretty good though I wish you can slow down a little. If there pauses in the script it will help but otherwise good job

[Silver Wit]

Love your voice, but I feel like you’re rushing through the script. Your celeb read was good, but I’d say slow down a little and give the material a pause every now and then.

[raven808]

You have a wonderfully unique voice! For the celeb one.. perhaps emphasize a different word in the second sentence because “what if” stands out twice in a row.. On a different note, I bet you would sound great on cooking related scripts!

[latyesemca]

For Excedrin, I would say to slow down. The pacing was pretty fast and I jarring. Felt like one big sentence. Plosives weren’t noticeable so that’s a plus!

[ShellyMadison]

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!

I have to say, I genuinely enjoyed your voice! I loved the Cosmos one! I felt like I was listening to an intellectual engaging college professor in a lecture hall at a small boutique college. I also like the way you added emotions to the words in the the jazz one.

[Hazaro]

I enjoyed both these reads. The enunciation and pace were good and the tone(s) were engaging and felt appropriate for each piece.

[ikrani]

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.

I like the first one because your voice is telling a story which is pretty accurate so the tone was just fitting for this nice job

[Nikka Kowidge]

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.

[latyesemca]

I really enjoyed I am Anxiety! I would say that the pacing could’ve been a bit slower but I liked the character a lot! It sort of sent my mind into a spiral which was AWESOME! Fantastic read overall.

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 like how your voice sounds very mysterious but yet informative and the tone sounds good very nice

[RCampos]

Thanks very much for the helpful feedback!

[Hazaro]

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

[RCampos]

Thanks very much for checking out the VO and taking the time to send me some feedback! I actually found an audio clip online of the “Julia” sound and I played that in the background. All the best, R
