Just on the scripts, right? As far as quality, it sounds a little quiet to me BUT please get multiple opinions on that before making adjustments to your recording levels because it might be my rig and your volume is fine.
Black Decker One Touch Coffee Maker: I liked this script. Can fit into a 15-second spot, nails selling points, and has a fun pitch.
Erie Insurance: A lot of repetitive word usage. Then again, it is what is being ‘sold’. I think the second half is verbal gold.
Nicholas Coffee: This is a solid script. A good 15-second spot selling a brand of coffee that has something for every coffee drinker.
For your reads. I liked them all. One Touch Coffee could have been slowed down a little,it sounded rushed to me. Erie Insurance delivery was flat to my ear, I think you’re going for serious/professional. The Nicholas Coffee recordings were both good, the “Nicholas-Coffee-2” was money though. The first word sounds clipped, missing the “kah” on crafted.
I didn’t see a response on here, and due to the date this is probably a little late but here it is anyways. I think you nailed it. That sounded perfect for a Corporate Training Video. I liked the pacing and your delivery was clear. Good Job.
The Apple commercial sounds conversational to me. The diction is very good aside from a missed the splosive “p” on “specifically” but that is the only minor diction thing that caught my ear. Good job.
The Bed Bath and Beyond commercial sounds conversational except the pacing is a little fast. Diction sounded good to me. Again, good job.
I agree with Artist7. Your voice sounds perfect for this commercial. It is just a little “flat” of delivery to me, and that is keeping it from being conversational to my ear.
Hello Artist7! Of the two, I think Discover Publishers was perfect. It had the right mix of conversational sound and high energy to catch my attention for such a short spot.
The Handcrafted Coffee sounded like a smooth read, the right sound that would catch my ear for coffee. To me, the lack of pauses keeps it from being conversational. I think it’s a 30-second spot and you managed it in 22 seconds, which is impressive. I think you could afford to add a few pauses and stretch it out to 30-seconds and that would make this one sound conversational.
Hi everyone. Doing the demo practices and coaching sessions. Please give a listen and some constructive feedback if you have the time. I look forward to the feedback. Also, the audio seems much more quiet in MP3 format than the initial recording. If you find the recording to be too quiet too, let me know and if you have any useful tips I’m all ears. Using audacity with a Scarlett Solo 4-gen and a Rode NT-1 mic. Thank you all for your time.
