I appreciate the feedback. Yeah the script is called movie narration, so I guess I’ll need feedback from my coach (but you’re welcome to provide any insight) on how to distinguish between audiobook reading and a movie narration.
Phenomenal performance/technique and recording/production quality. Was this for an actual spot? I agree with the other commentator, the one part that doesn’t sound as convincing is the “ask your representative” because of how you draw out the word representative.
You’ve got an awesome voice and the quality of the recording sounds great. The execution is also captivating.
My main critique would be that, especially in the first two (Apollo/Congaree), there are parts that sound overdone. I’d tone down the performative aspect of it because the pieces start to sound like a commercial. So if this is for a trailer, then great, if it’s more of a documentary-type of thing, I’d make it a bit more neutral without all the (very impressive) fluctuations in tone, pitch, etc.
For the recording on tumors, I don’t really have much to say. I can totally imagine that on a recording about that topic. I think the quality of the recording could possibly be improved a little bit; there’s a subtle squeakiness that arises at times. The performance in the second one could be toned down a bit, made a little more conversational. I would say the same thing about the recording on Picasso; I’d tone it down much more in that one, make it sound more natural and conversational. I think the recording has a few minute clips here in there but otherwise sounds very professional.
You must already be a pro. The sound quality and acting sound perfect. Nice going. i’d love to learn how you were able to record that from home and make it sound so professional.
The American Airlines one sounds spot on for the type of recording you hear if you call them. Nailed it. The second one, however, I think could use a little more variation and needs to be a little more natural, not as performed.
Hey Mike, the sound quality is great and the tone works well, especially in the first one. The tone and tempo you used in the second are also excellent, I might tone it down just a little bit, especially at the beginning, and maybe lower the pitch as well, but just a tab. The third one on the other hand I think is perfect, strangely, the only thing I’d nitpick in that one is the quality of the recording, which for some reason seemed better in the previous two.
