You’re welcome! Keep at it and things will get better and better 🙂 I used to struggle with reading slow, and still do — in my head it sounds fine, but when I listen back to the recording I think “Why did I do that so slow??” It sometimes sounds different to what I thought I was doing.

I think a big part of the training is learning how things sound in your own head vs. how they actually sound when you record and play back (and have others listen too). I think it’s about learning how to make those adjustments.

Take care,
Alexis

Hi Touzet, I’m sorry to hear about your friend. As for your read, I think you did a great job of capturing the vibe of the script and of a Sandals vacation. Nice pace and tone!

Is it possible to get an email notification when someone comments on my forum post? The old Feedback Forum used to do that but I can’t figure out how to do that here.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Here’s a script from Edge about Betty Crocker, it used to be under Narration/Biography so that was my interpretation of it. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!
Alexis

Script:
Betty Crocker is an imaginary person. Nonetheless, in a 1945 survey she was named the second-best-known woman in America, after Eleanor Roosevelt. She was “born” in 1921 during a Gold Medal flour promotion in which users completed a puzzle to win a pin cushion. Company executives decided to use the signature of “Betty Crocker” on the prize letters–Betty because the name had a warm approachable feel, and Crocker after an early company director, William G, Crocker. The fictional Ms. Crocker became so popular that she soon had her own products and recipe books, many of which still exist today.

Hi kfvoice,
Nice job with this read. Your recording quality sounds good, and your pace and diction are good as well. I agree with mkell755 that it could use a little more energy. I didn’t hear the exclamation point in the second sentence, and the script tells the customer to get excited about the rebates they offer if they are considering a new AC. I think bringing some of that energy into the script would be great.

Hi Sarah,
I think you did a great job with this. Everything is clearly pronounced and overall your pace was good. I like your emphasis on “immersed” and “whirlpool of life”. I think your read lost a little bit of the energy toward the end, starting around the “More people can…” sentence, and you seemed to slow down a bit too. If you can keep up the energy and enthusiasm through to the end, that would help strengthen the piece. Nice work!

I miss how on the old site you could look at a script and hear others’ files for that same script. Also it was easy to post to the feedback forum without having to copy and paste the script. The functionality to quickly add your MP3 was built in. Oh well. I agree that this new site looks much better. Nice job, Edge!

Hi all,
This is my first post on the new site. I’m looking for feedback on performance, please.
If you have any comments on the recording quality, feel free to leave them, but conditions weren’t ideal because the dryer was running while recording and that may have created some background noise. I took the script from the Edge library over the summer, not sure if it’s still there. It was found under English Adult > Narration > eLearning & Education
Thanks! Alexis
