You sound like you really believe in the product! I will say that it sounds a bit choppy in places like they were part of different takes and you had put them together since there are strange pauses before or after phrases. The tone was very warm, and the volume was PERFECT. Great job!

[RCampos]

Very nice variety in tone and pitch throughout your read, which keeps the topic interesting. I have just two small critiques: I thought your pause just before “broken in” could be a tiny bit shorter. And, you say a long “a” when you say, “is a good way.” I think it would sound more conversational to use a short “a,” like we usually do in conversation.

[Grace17]

Your audio volume level is great and your voice is perfect for this read! I would say the beginning up until “running mates” needs more flow in the words, it’s a little choppy with pauses that are too long. Try not to overthink what you’re saying and lastly I would recommend trying to let more of your personality out. You had more personality from “This video” onwards but it’ll be great to hear that more through out.

Dang, that’s a good read. I could really feel the disbelief at the start and the building confidence. My only real note is that it’s a little quiet.

[Hazaro]

Enjoyed this read, it was really authentic!

[VoicesByJeff]

The obvious note of treatment but I totally understand. Maybe throw a blanket over you or some pillows around the mic to take away some of the echo? Your tone is very full! I also like the punch you had at the end for the tag. Awesome work!

[Silver Wit]

Aside from the echo, I really liked your read of the Jif peanut butter ad. Really sounded like a dad that wanted the best for his kids.

[VoicesByJeff]

A few more…

you have a really strong voice and great diction. But I feel like the energy was a little off for your shark read. It was very enthusiastic, which isn’t a bad thing, but I feel like a lower energy could really convince me I was listening to a documentary.

[madtrammell]

Great work! I enjoyed your Advantech read, good pacing and diction.

[cbehrens]

Hello! I am just getting more practice with commercial scripts; any feedback is welcome.
Thanks!

Great voice, but I feel like your not feeling your Discovery Kids read. I wasn’t really hearing any emotions, it sounded like you were just saying words and not connecting to them.

[madtrammell]

Very well done! Only feedback I have is, you might try adding a bit more energy throughout your Lego read to give it a little more “life”

[Nikka Kowidge]

Hi everyone! I’m uploading a couple reads and asking for feedback please!

My home studio is not set up yet so please no production comments.

However, I am working on conversational reading style, glottal stops, and pacing. Any thoughts welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen

Good reads!!!

[cammons01]

Hi Nikka,

Very nice voice! I like both reads. Just a few things
1) The tone was appropriate for both of them. You added variety throughout the 2nd read very nicely
2) For the “4-H” read, at the end when you said “4-H grows here”, there were micro-pauses in between the words making it sound ….”robotic” (lol for lack of better words). Maybe if you blend them together, I think it would sound more coversational as you tail off the read

3) For the “running shoes” read, same thing…there were some micropauses as well, but not as noticeable as the “4H” read.

Overall, great job. Keep up the good work.
