      Hey Johntells114! What effects are you using here? It sounds like your using a small bit of some sort of octave distortion? Either way I think it’s perfect as it’s not too much or too little.

      One thing I would like to hear differently is maybe switching up the tone on some words (similar to how you said “Stop It!”). Reason being is that I wonder if the you can play with tension a little more throughout to keep the horror/suspense there.

    Hi All,

    Another practice read for narration. I recorded on my mac so the tone is a bit hollow. I would love to get any feedback you might have. Thank you in advance!!

      Very nice flow. I thought your voice had the right tone and was consistent.

      Very engaging voice Jeff! Very expressive, especially towards the end. If I had to dig deep to find constructive feedback, I would say maybe bring some more of that expression in towards the beginning as well. Excellent read.

      Would recommend checking which words to hilite in the script.
      I thought some that were hilited should not have been so much and some should have been more.
      Great voice!

      This was an excellent read! You sounded relaxed and very clear. I think you can up the energy and emotion just a little.

    Ok, this is my first time doing this so would love to get some feedback. I did it off my phone so its not going to be the best recording. I would love to hear any advice on speed, clarity, etc. THANKS!

      Hi again Slemay. On your second read foe Nike again super good job for a first time for you! I would say for me there is just a little too long of these micro pauses between phases and I feel you could even add just a little more excitement. Such a good job though for being so new to this! Keep it up!

      Hi Slemay. Great job for your first time!! I would say that it does sound a little to me like you are reading in some parts,also you can probably vary your list more (when listing the attributes of the vehicle). Keep up the good work!

    #78110 Elise I thought your energy was really good on the Space camp read and you made me want to visit the location with your enthusiasm.

      You have a really nice texture to you voice! I think you can up the energy to make your voice more full and more emotion to compel the listeners. Overall a great read!

      Hi again decofcards. On your second read I would say just slow it down just a bit and maybe just a little more expression. Again you have such a soothing voice quality. Keep up the good work!

      Great job decofcards! You have a wonderful and smooth voice quality which I really like. I belive you could also vary you list a little on the list of the chevy’s attributes. I would say maybe just a sight more excitement too throughout. Really nice though! Especially considering how new you are to this!

      Lindsay,
      You have such a pleasant voice that pairs very well with each of these reads. Each read kept me engaged and your pace is great! I liked your variations for advance technology, and how medically versed you were with atrial fib, and how you changed inflections on trex. Cynerio had a few pauses in it that made me feel like I was waiting for the next thing. Overall nice job and good luck on your record session!

      Lindsay I thought your pronunciation was great on the Advance Technologies read and you had a warm friendly tone. I am very new at this but felt the connection to the read.

      Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your very kind comments below, I appreciate the encouragement! I like your reads as well. Your pacing is very good and you have a very calm tone. I would caution you, however, to make sure you finish out certain words. I have the same tendency and my coach has worked with me quite a bit on it. Specifically, don’t drop the “t’s and d’s” at the end of words like important and world. Have fun at your demo record session!!

      I really liked the 4h read. You sounded believable and your voice is very calming but with enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing.

      Hey Jeff- congrats on your demo! How fun! Mine is coming up too and I am so excited. You and I chose the same practice script today! I like both of your reads tremendously- I thought they were great. I could listen to your voice all day!

    Hi everyone! Can you please provide your feedback on these samples? Particularly – did I engage the listener?, how was my overall flow?, and/or how was my speed? Apparently I was in a space mood 🙂 Thank you!
