Your approaches to the Zoloft and Children’s Advil scripts were very appropriate for the content making them relatable to the listener who would be a potential consumer. If anything, maybe say “fast” faster in the Advil one. lol. For the Autozone one, I could feel you smiling in your voice which was nice and engaging. Really great work!

These are all very nice reads. The quality of your voice lends itself very well to the Zoloft and Advil reads.
My only caution would be to try and vary your reads ( the pitch pace and tenor). All three sound very similar.
And put emphasis behind the “call to action.”
i.e. “It’s time to talk to your doctor”, or “better than Tylenol.”
But great job! -

Here are two commercials. Any feedback on aspects such as pacing or pronunciation would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.-
Hi,
The overall pace on the Purina one is good, but it feels a little measured in a way that prevents the read from sounding conversational. Pronunciation sounds good to me.
For Pizza Hut, the pronunciation of mozzarella doesn’t sound entirely natural to my ear. Most people don’t emphasize the “z” and start it out like “mot.” The pacing starts off strong, but I think it slows down and your pauses get a bit long toward the end.
Nice job overall.

Hey guys! I have a couple of reads for my homework assignment. Been out of the loop for a bit.
My very first attempt at a movie trailer read! Thanks in advance for any constructive feedback.Wes

Hey everyone,
A couple new reads. The first is an introduction to a tech product called Apache Spark. It felt like a bit of a tongue twister just based on how it’s written, so good practice. The second read is an introduction to the philanthropic foundation. It’s a bit of a long read that posed challenges all it’s own. I look forward to any and all feedback – thanks!

Hi Twstark,
Nice job on these reads and all the tongue twisters! I agree with edixon310 I could hear your reads on somewhere like the discovery channel. When you slow down I really hear where you’re hitting those key words. When its alittle fast they sound a little more clustered and its a little harder to differentiate I hear this at the beginning of Apache-spark. Your pacing for the hewlett foundation was good, I can hear all of your variations nicely with this read and you executed it really well. -

These are both great, technical reads. It sounds like what you’d hear on PBS at the end of one of their shows. Not sure if you’re aware, they both cut off right at the end.
The pitch and pacing were good. There is a little bit of static during the read, barely noticeable.
Great job!-
Thanks a lot for the feedback. My natural tone definitely fits into the realm of the PBS/Discovery Channel type of read. No kids cartoons for me! Also, thanks for letting me know about the static. I’ve discovered that sometimes my Mac seems to struggle a little with a clean bounce and can add a little static if I rush it or have other programs operating in the background simultaneously. I’ll watch out for that.

Let me try this again.
Hi guys. I am looking for feedback on a skit I wrote for my bio. Let me know what you think.-
-
Ha! I love this. This is a very creative approach and one that I haven’t heard before. Would you classify your voice as a “jazzy” voice?
I’m also curious if bios are typically this long in length as well.
Overall, great read!
-
Appreciate it.
I suppose you could say my voice is a bit ‘jazzy.’ At least in this skit. Honestly, I was making it up as I went along and that just popped into my head.
Demos aren’t typically this long, but a lot of reads are. I use this when I am asked to showcase what I can do. It also serves as a plug of sorts.

I Am Anxiety
I’ve been expecting you. Why? Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me?
Oh! You still don’t know who I am. Let me try and help you with that. . .I am the ill ease that you feel when you walk into a crowded room. You know. The hot and cold flushes that confuse you when you are already confused enough. I am the one that raises the whip to your already raising heart. I am the tightening of your chest. The s*********g worries that feel like they might become an avalanche and they can just bury you in an instant.
My friend, I am the obsessive and the compulsive. I’m the voice. You know the one. Always questioning, questioning, questioning, everything you do, everything you think. And I am every, single staring eye that watches you. So, now that we have become acquainted, what are you going to do about it?
Tag: 1 in 4 people experience anxiety. And most don’t know about it. You need to know anxiety to be free from it.

I must admit that this read threw me a bit. I only read the first couple of lines, and I was expecting caricature when you started off, but when you got to the tag, I realized why you were reading it the way you were.
This needed to be more poetic than character, and that’s what you did, because this was a more serious read.
The only thing I would add is to be a bit more conversational in your delivery.-
Thank you!
When you say “conversational” what do you mean? Should I talk faster and with a bit higher tone so it doesn’t sound so “doom & gloom”?

Playstation 5 Practice Read.
Hey everyone, here’s my practice read for Playstation 5. Any and all feedback is welcomed! Thanks in advance

Nice Job! You’ve got a voice that would be great for narration. I would add a little more feeling behind the words. This read reminded me of the Star Trek open. Of course, William Shatner is always over the top, but I would try to emulate his emotive read. You’ll find your grove in there somewhere.

Hi Esalguera,
You have a nice vocal approach that highlights what you say. I thought your pace and diction were good and they were both conversational. I liked that you hit Blue but wanted to hear that hit with 0%. You did great hitting everything for Trendi really making it stand out. Nice job! -

Howdy folks,
Find attached my own very first homework-read, assigned by my coach, and based on the script at https://edgestudio.com/script/amica-life-insurance-4/.
Thanks for your time, attention, and feedback!

Hi!!!
I love your voice and tone for this read! I would be careful with your diction on some words (Subsidiary kind of sounded like “subsidary” (@ 5 seconds) and policy holders kind of sounded like “Paulsy holders” (@ 20 seconds)).
One thing my coach always tells me is to think about my audience. I love when you emphasize “never” when saying “NEVER invested in real estate….” it really felt like you were trying to convince the listener to trust Amica. I think leaning more into that and really thinking about trying to convince someone to trust Amica while you read would take this already great read to the next level. Keep up the great work!!!!! Hope this made sense!
-
Hi Jmacdotorg,
I like your pace for this read, you have a good narrative voice. Something I noticed with your read is the way you pronounced AMICA. I believe its pronounced “Ameeka”not “ah mic a” so I would be careful with pronouncing the client’s name. There are some others words to be mindful of with your diction. Otherwise keep it up!

Hi Dillon:
These are nice. I would consider more of a transition during the pizza hut one for the different types of thoughts: when you switch to “see kids” and then the tag at the end. Same sort of feedback on the Youth Mentoring one. There’s probably an opportunity to change the tone as you start specifically talking about the mentees. Maybe really imagine them and the relationship you have with them and it will come out in the read.
