Roman, thank you for taking the time to listen to my recording and giving me feedback. Much appreciated!
Rusty, I found that both your readings could have some clarity at the beginning. It sounded like you were off to races from the start, but then in both readings, once you get past that opening, you seemed to settle down into a nice rhythm, despite that some of the text you selected got pretty wordy, nevertheless you handled it well.
Hi everyone, may I have some feedback as to the conversational tone and flow of my readings. So helpful to get constructive criticism from you all.
Mike, I too liked your readings. Very conversational and easy to listen and understand the message you are trying to get across. Like the comment before me, I would have had more spacing between the sentences, giving the listener a moment to get what you are saying before moving on to the next thought.
CatgirlMSU, your third recordings was challenging for sure. In that 21 second recording, you say the word “it” at least five times. While it might seem that that this tiny word would not be so important, but in your recording “it” appears to have greater weight. You might want to see how you are transitioning from phrase to phrase when a word is repeated so often. Documentary on Jazz is wordy too. So, take your time. You have a terrific voice for VO work.
Brad, you have a natural deep resonance vocal quality. You might want to put a little more energy into your recordings and maybe play and explore with the higher tones in your beautiful voice. I was able to play back your recordings because I am using a MAC (but I am sure any audio program, PC or MAC could open the file), but you might want to try and get an app that will allow you to record in the mp3 format. In addition, it would be helpful if you could name your recordings, so it will make it easier to identify specific recordings.
Your Amtrak reading was terrific. I felt like I should go book a ticket on Amtrak right now. I thought the Lego reading felt a little rushed, though there was a lot of text to run through.
Lindsay, I liked your pacing on the Nat. Geo upload. Your study.com reading was not easy to do and I can tell you worked h*****n it. It can be challenging to say the same words over and over again, such as “depreciation” and “method.” There were a few times in which you raised your tone with some nasal tones that sometimes stood out when compared to the rest of the recording. Maybe that was your intention. Nice contrast to your uploads and how you presented them.
You have a delightful tone to your voice. For the Tic-Tac recording, you might want to just give a slight more pause after you said, “…so funny” into “but the truth…” We need just a bit more time to absorb how great things were going on the date, give a slight pause and then go into the “but the truth…” maybe even in a slightly lower tone too.
