Hi again – this was for 10 second digital ad audition – “looking for cool voice with swagger”. Did you feel the swagger? Thanks, Lance

Hello Feedback Forum,
I’m currently working on my narration demo and would love some feedback on these two sample script reads.
Does my read sound conversational?🤔 ( I’m not working from a professional home studio yet, so I’m not quite ready for any technical feedback )Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and share your thoughts.
-
Great reads, Joe!! Definitely conversational.
Both should have a wide eyed feel (for different reasons lol). I liked the earth origin read better. -

Great reads! Definitely sounds conversational, I was just missing a bit of excitement/wonder. And be careful of dropping your tone at the ends of words, a few words were lost because of this.

The Allstate read had the feeling of you putting an arm around the listener and showing them how to achieve their life goals. Good, intimate read. Drew the listener in…
Advil was good as well. Clearly explaining the product and its benefits in an authoritative tone in what felt like a tough script to read.
Thanks for these

ATTN SPANISH SPEAKERS// folks working in the Spanish/Spanglish commercial genre! Will you take a listen?
I’m a commercial genre kindergartner and basically an infant when it comes to doing any VO in Spanish, so any and all performance/technique notes are appreciated! Strongly considering adding some bilingual fun to my first demo.
Not looking for technical or sound quality notes today, just ~general~. always aiming at natural, conversational, and understandable.I also ran the Ziploc piece a couple times for fun. Still trying to pin down what my signature voice is so, gonna keep trying a few different styles in the forum.

Hello Fellow Voice Actors, I would love to hear what you all think of my practice recordings thanks for taking the time to listen in advance.

Lovely voice to listen to! I would like to hear more variety between your spots and within each spot. More connection to the script, perhaps? You have a very distinct “performing” voice that could sound more natural.

Hi Glen! I really liked your instinct to get soft and intimate in the potennix spot, but I think you have a distinct rhythm that you hit almost like a metronome, that makes it a lil monotonous. Definitely feel free to play around with your tempo more. I felt similarly about the mortgage holder piece. Jumping in on a phrase like “the cinema has no boundary,” is so epic ! maybe try to lead in slowly and then warm up as you get to recommendation part of the spot, just for some more dynamism. <3 good luck!

Hello everyone –
First time posting to the forum and looking for some feedback on my pacing as well as my tone. I’m definitely more comfortable with the eLearning and IVR, I also wanted to try my hand at something different from my preferred genre (Words Can Do Anything mp3) and would love to hear feedback on ways I can improve.
Note: I do not have my home studio fully set up yet, but if you have technical and/or creative input I’d appreciate it!-

Hi Audrea.
I liked the copy of the eLearning. You have a nice voice. Maybe work on breath support so that you can perform the copy without unnecessary pauses in between the sentences. I could hear some breathiness and pauses between words at times. I think that can easily be fixed by trying the copy a couple of different ways, like having more emphasis on keywords that the listener of the ad needs to hear. Maybe sound more dynamic, adding some more energy to the copy that can be informative, interesting, and hold the listener’s attention. I’m sure you can find the right pace that works for you. -
On your “Words Can Do Anything” read, I think your pitch was a little too narrow for the first 18 seconds. Once you got to “Like the human rights activist-“, your pitch range seemed to widen slightly, and it makes you sound more invested in what you’re saying, more authoritative. You sounded like you wanted us to take this stuff seriously, lest we find ourselves in a similar situation. The emphases on “human”, “journalist”, and “thousands” saw a gradual rise in your peak pitch for each one, like talking about these injustices was subtly getting to you.
Prior to that, I was having trouble getting a fix on what mood you were trying to set. You were talking about positive stuff like birthdays and friends with a lack of investment, like someone reading a grocery list aloud. What you might consider is, if not widening the pitch range in the first part, perhaps moving the highs and lows a little higher, so there’s a slightly more noticeable rug-pull as you down-shift along the route of, “Friends, birthdays, human rights violations.”

Thank you so much! Words Can Do Anything was challenging for me – I wasn’t sure what the mood “should” be and the “happy” things, in the beginning, were very confusing with the more somber things detailed at the end. I’m going to take your feedback to my Coach so I can work on the areas you pointed out. I definitely prefer eLearning and telephony but I want to improve in other areas and your comments were VERY helpful!
