    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!

    A couple new reads. I’m getting over Covid, so not my best work. But hey, no better time to test your chops than when you’re in bad shape! 🙂

      Hey everyone,

      A couple of practice reads for an upcoming demo session. Please note that the production quality is not studio quality; home studio is not set up yet. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

        These are good reads cammons01, very natural! The last “Today” on Lowes felt a bit like a shrug but I’m guessing you didn’t mean it that way 😉

      Hey,

      These are some nice reads. Doesn’t sound like you were in bad shape to me. I like the pacing and the variety you gave for both reads. Your voice has a nice texture to it. For the AMEX read, I think the last part was cut short for some reason. But overall, great job on both of them

    Hi All, another practice read for my narration demo. Thank you for the feedback on my previous read, I will definitely incorporate your advice/observations into my practice. Again, thanks in advance for letting me borrow your critical ears!!

      This is a great read. Your voice fits the subject well and you sound very knowledgeable. I think you might consider a bit slower pace during the more medically dense portion of the piece to ensure the listener can keep up as they digest the material.

    Hi everyone! These are 3 narration scripts I chose to practice for my next session.

    I’ve been having some issues with my editing software in terms of audio levels, so I’m so sorry if these mp3’s are a bit too quiet. I’m working on that but I wanted to get these out for feedback.

    My main focus is pacing, I just want to make sure I’m not zooming through these too fast.

    Any and all feedback is appreciated!

        Apologies, I posted the wrong feedback on this thread.

        I meant to say,
        Great job, very conversational tone on all. The pacing sounds good to me on 1 and 3. I would slow the pace on the meditation a bit.

      You have a very good voice for this read! I would say try to vary your performance a bit through the read, to give it a bit more energy

    This read is actually a poem I wrote right after 9/11.

    It’s different than i normally read, but I would like independent opinions of the read and content.

    Thanks.

    This is read 2 of my second set 0f 5.

    Did 3 because at first, I was trying to get kids excited, but 3 is a little more natural voiced

      Hi Shadiq! I really liked the flow and build up of the Maryland Lottery piece, nice job with that! The words got clearer as you built up so I would just say to keep the clarity even when being low key as some words got dropped off at the end and I wasn’t sure what was said.
      I liked the intimacy and pacing of Jaguar, just felt like it could have had more power with a stronger connection to the piece so there was no question that YOU are the Jaguar.
