Hi SuperLuke,
Thank you very much for the supportive feedback.
Yes, I have been trying to concentrate on tone and energy, to name but a few, without running short of breath, but it is all great fun.
Regards,
John
Hi Aylin,

Hello everyone,
I am putting up these narration recordings, part of my homework assignment, and would very much appreciate your feedback.

Hi PrettyLoud,
You have a great voice, and both reads were so clear, but I felt that your second read, IMHO, with breathing perfectly controlled in that long sentence ending in “for people across the country,” was the best.
Thank you,
John
Hi Mitch,
I very much enjoyed listening to both scripts. Plenty of enthusiasm, sincerity and, for me, perfect tempo, pitch, and pacing. I imagined each to be aimed at a particular audience. For example, script one I could so easily hear on one of my local, livelier radio stations, while script two would be a natural complement to a TV commercial, where I would be able to see Portage Turf and, as I listened to your reading, better appreciate their organic service.

Yes, I noticed the difference as well. In my humble opinion, your first read comes across as a straightforward, non-interpreted reading of a script, while your second read brings that script to life and makes me feel, as a potential customer, that you really believe in the service that American Express provides. Very, very professional interpretation of a script! John
Hi Docr15,
Very good read! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your voice and following your interpretation of the script. Interpretation of a script is one of the many areas that I have to concentrate on.
Thank you,
John
Hi Kbridges,
Yes, you have a very comfortable, soothing voice to listen to. I was struck by your clear enunciation throughout, along with the way in which you differentiated the items in “…the coming weeks, months, and years”, a technique that I have to master.
Thank you,
John
Hi Mary,
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your reading of this script. A particular strong point for me was the way in which you differentiated the items “…teaching, cooking and parenting”. That sentence just sounded so natural.
Thank you,
John
Hi Alexis,
I really appreciate your feedback. Yes, I wondered a little about the pacing in script one before I pressed ‘send’, and when I listened to it again, I could see what you meant were it to have been intended as part of an audiobook. Script two and the conversational tone – yes, I have a tendency to be too serious when I read, and I know that I have to concentrate much more on placing myself in the scene, as it were. I tried that with script two, and I feel that it is beginning to work.
Thank you again,
John
