Great tone and pacing, and great casting for your voice. I wanted the tagline to feel a little more personal and less “sales-y”.

Hello Cheechman – your tone and deep richness bring an authority to you read in all cases. Whenever you have a list of things, vary the tone of each part of the list so they sound different – otherwise they all sound the same and the list gets lost. You had lists in several of your reads below and all cases, you should vary the tone. I hear you reading the scripts – but I want to hear you having a conversation and talking to someone . . .try picturing someone you are telling this to – I think this will help to reduce your announcer sound. Good jobs – Lance (and a note to you – a pop filter does not affect the s sounds – only has affect on sounds that push a lot of air out in front of your face – like P or T)

[Cheechman]

I was informedd the pop filters do lessen the S and P sounds

Thanks, alot!
I have a hard time picturing someone to read to.

[nicolance]

try using a real photograph to look at during the read?

Here are the other 2 from the previous post.
Don’t know why they didn’t attach.

You have a perfect voice for these types of projects. But I think you can work on making your sentences flow a little more. It sounded a bit too rehearsed at points. And on the Trump ones, I think you could have gone further with the assertiveness.

[Cheechman]

I’m uploading 3 sets of 2 each for my second coaching session.
All comments will be taken seriously and are completely appreciated.

The first one sounds cleaner than the 2nd. Good job!!!

Hi all, I welcome feedback on these commercial reads; creativity, pace, clarity, and conversational delivery.

Hi,
I thought this sounded like a great radio ad. I prefer the crayola-2 rather than 4 because it didn’t sound as confident and the inflections/cadences on certain words/phrases didn’t sound like they were placed where you might have wanted them.
I might suggest sounding slightly more enthused, only to keep the listener’s attention.

[ladyburdkm]

Thank you kindly Rachel! Going to keep on practicing! 🙂

[samsheeks]

The sound quality is really great! And totally believable “mom” voice. The thoughts felt a little choppy at points and that was distracting, especially in the first line. Maybe work on connecting thoughts and driving the through-line.

[ladyburdkm]

Excellent, I felt the choppiness as well. I really appreciate this. Thank you

[TeatroMan]

Looking for feedback on my narration spots. Any micro pauses, am I pronouncing words correctly? Engaging? That sort of stuff

Hi TeatroMan,
Nice work on your reads you showed a wide variation of your pitch. I really liked cosmos because I felt that had a more conversational connection and your pace was good for the read. I’m not sure what you were aiming for with one piece. If you’re considering a gaming read for it then I would say your projection would be on track but if you weren’t then its a little over projected. I did like your characterization of it. For Chaplin, I did hear some slurring of your words so just be mindful of that. Overall nice job!

[samsheeks]

Great work! I can hear you trying to pronounce things clearly – keep it up! I think it will keep getting easier!

[Amy Connerley]

Preparing for my commercial demo! I would love feedback on if these sound conversational and my pacing! *Traveling at the moment so recording on my phone, so no notes on recording quality please!

Thank you! 🙂

Really good work! The only thing I would mention would be the pacing, sometimes you seem to be going a bit fast, and other times too slow. I would just say to be more consistent!

[samsheeks]

great enthusiasm and connection to the script! I can hear that your room needs some treatment. It was a bit echo-y and I can hear some static or so from your equiptment.

[nicolance]

Hello Amy – great energy. Slow down on Barbie a little – this will help with enunciation – lost the t on adult both times, and the d in assembled. And who are you talking when you say “you can be anything”? It will sound more conversational if you have someone you are telling this to . . .as for Discovery – that is more of a promo than a commercial . . .promos tend to be big – and so if you add more energy and again think about who you are telling this to, you will have more of a conversational tone. Great job on both – Lance

[Cheechman]

Are you using a “pop” filter?

The letter s is very noticeable.

Otherwise, they sound good.

[BB123]

Test. Plz ignore

[nicolance]

Hi Forum folks – sample of a commercial for radio – did the audio sound clear? Any technical issues? Thanks Lance

Great voice and I love your texture! Great pace and very clear.

[Amy Connerley]

Love your read and your pacing! I would like a little more conversational feel to the “in fact” and the “why” direction changes, but I really love your tone!

[88KeysDC]

The audio was nice and clear and your voice was a pleasure to listen to – I can almost imagine the background music that could be paired with this when it hits the radio. Good stuff!

[88KeysDC]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been away from Voice Over training for a little while, and I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. I figured I’d upload a couple of samples in the hopes of getting some feedback. I’d appreciate any comments on my pacing and flow. I’m also trying to improve my recording quality, so any feedback on the production would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

These were great! Keep up what you’re doing. Good understanding of script and intention.

[ladyburdkm]

Wow, these are great. I enjoyed the tone of your voice and you had an excellent pace. I felt like you were talking to me! Very happy you shared your reads. Thank you

[nicolance]

Hi 88KeysDC – Thank you for posting your samples. I enjoyed listening to them – the high professional quality of your recording, your friendly, engaging and conversational tone and the fact that I thought you were talking to me. I don’t know why you’ve been away from VO – but it is time to pursue. You’re a natural! Lance
