Hi Brandy!
Like the others have said, it’s a bit loud, but scratch-free here – it sounds great, quality-wise. 🙂
Hi Steph – nice reads! Some notes:
1. I like the tone of your first take the best – it’s the most casual and laid back ie conversational, in my mind.
2. I like the speed of #2, and the passion of #3, but I think overall you achieve conversational tone, audience specification, and lack of micro pauses best in #1.
3. To nitpick, there is a micropause before the word “happier” in #1 that disrupts the flow a little bit, I think.
4. (Referring to #1) Your diction overall is great, though I noticed the word “and” (something I struggle with, so I notice it in particular in other people’s reads) sounds like “an” without the D at the end of the word to round it out.I hope this helps!
DecHello!
I am starting up my VO business, and would love feedback, including technical. How’s my sound, anything to improve that you notice? I want to make sure my studio space is up to par. Feel free to be blunt/direct (but helpful), please. Thanks!
Hello,
I like your style, and I think you got the -talking to other Moms- tone down, well done
I think you could use more inflexion on your question phrases, it was just a tad flat. Examples: “My kids? / You know?” Maybe inflect higher up on the word ‘kids’ and try both down and up for ‘know’Hope that helps!
Hi Brian,
I like the differentiation between the two reads, the confidence in one and the energy in the other.
For Announcer_Brian-Wiggins, it sounds (to me) like some of your words ending in L or vowels like in the word ‘you’ trail off slightly. That’s my only note for that
I liked Fazolis-VO_Brian Wiggins a lot, your read makes me want to try some of that food! When you go from describing the sauces to the cheeses, there’s a bit of a jump in your excitement level where I think it might flow better to have more of a crescendo linking the two parts together, which I can hear a little bit of at the words ‘alfredo sauce,’ but I think it could be even stronger, if that makes sense. Hope this is useful!
Hi H,
I listened to your copy and thought I’d give my two cents.
You have an excellent voice, I like it a lot. I think you could do with a bit more differentiation of tone between scripts.
A particular thing I noted that might help for some auditions: The Witcher 3. Careful of pronunciation – before recording, check the pronunciation of special words, in this case, the name Geralt, pronounced with a G as in Good, rather than a G as in Gentle, if that makes sense. I hope this helps!Your delivery is great, you’re confident in the product and the listener knows it. The only thing I can think of for sure is that the tones sound similar to me – while they’re both very good I wonder if the Purina One read could be a bit more playful. Great work
Great voice – I think you can spend a bit more time on saying the names like Holmes and Watson – since they are the main characters and everything revolves around them to some degree, I think either saying their names slower or having a teeny tiny pause (especially before you said Sherlock Holmes the first time) would help remind listeners to whom they should pay attention. Hope that helps!
