Hi there! So in my quest for finding narration genres that fit me I wrote this script as a possible option for my narration demo. It is for kids in grades 2-4. I think I might do well with elementary eLearning because of my natural enthusiastic voice. I think it could resonate with kids projects. This is a little elearning read about ancient egypt!
In this history lesson we are going to learn all about ancient egypt! Did you know that Egypt was one of the first advanced societies in the ancient world? Egypt was ruled by pharaohs who were like kings and queens. It had its own religion, culture and writings called hieroglyphs. Egypt is located in the northeastern part of Africa right near the Nile river.
Really nice work. I think your voice is well suited for this kind of copy. I really don’t have much to add for the second read I thought your upbeat sound was great! I think the first read could be slowed down a little more. I’m thinking a bit more “luxury” and if you were to give the words “see like a human” a little more weight because – wow! This thing is really technologically advanced, you wont believe it, it can actually see like a human! And then just slow down a little bit with the 2 lines “Using stereoscopic cameras and even stop itself if it has to.
The technology may be hard to imagine but why you would want it, is not.” If you slow it down a little I think it would sound less like you are reading it. I really think you nailed the second read. Well done, nice work! 🙂So helpful thank you for all the positive encouragement. I think eLearning and Explainer could be a good route but I will keep practicing with many different things 🙂
Hi there! Really nice work on these. I think the cancer one fit best, the first one I think could have used more of a friendly/happy/upbeat tone and agree with the previous comment that a smile can help. I think you sound very genuine, caring and warm for the cancer read. Maybe with posting auditions though it would be great to know what the audition directions were to better help us with discerning how your delivery fulfills the direction. Just an idea 🙂 really nice work!
Hi guys. So i’m working really hard practicing different types of narration to find out where I fit naturally with my voice. This is an explainer piece (took me a while to figure out what an “Explainer” even is…) Anyways. I loved this copy and really connected with it – being a songwriter, arts and craft person and what not. I hope this works with my voice. Thanks in advance! (I’m leaving my breaths in on purpose)
“Creativity is not the same as hard work or effort, it requires genuine inspiration. It’s the product of a mind thoroughly intrigued by a question, a situation or a possibility, therefore creativity does not come in exchange for money or rewards, but when we focus our attention on something because we want to.”
Hi Damien, nice work with this piece. I thoroughly enjoy learning about WW2 so this read is a treat. I could imagine a little animation going on with this so great job connecting to the copy! I think the list ” Crossword fanatics, chess champions, mathematicians, students and professors, Americans and British” is challenging. Long lists like this are SO HARD, but I think taking it a tad bit slower and using tone, inflection and pitch to vary it a little more so people can comprehend what you are saying would be helpful. I think I mentioned I could hear your noise gate from a previous comment, and I think it is still at a setting that is too intense and obvious – specifically at “If Enigma could be penetrated, (breath fluttering) everything H****r” I could hear it cut in and out. You will need to work on sound treating your space more instead of relying on the noise gate. Try uploading a few reads without the noise gate at all I would be curious to hear it. Just my 2 cents. Nice work though I really enjoyed this read and I think your voice fits very well with this genre.
Working on sounding more informative than happy, and more natural and spontaneous. Any feedback is appreciated! Trying to find where I fit naturally with narration and I love history and travel.
Travelogue: Egypt has always been a land of mystery and magic.
A land different from all others, difficult to understand, apart and alien, yet strangely fascinating.
It was the most self-contained of all the countries of the ancient world;
it lived its own life, practiced its own religion, and made up its own government with hardly any outside interference either from or upon other civilizations.Very nice read! I really liked your sweet warm tone and your voice definitely fits the copy. Perhaps could flow a little bit better from sentence to sentence. I struggle with this myself. I stop between phrases to breathe and then I edit it shorter later but sometimes not short enough. That is really my only thought listening to it. I think you did great!
Thanks! Commercial does feel natural to me but I’ve been working with a coach on commercial since I think July. I’ve only been practicing narration for a week LOL it is very new and does feel very different for sure. It also spans like a few dozen different types – eLearning, bio, corporate, explainer, documentary, mobile apps etc. I just gotta find out what fits for me. Lots of work to do! Lots of trial and error. Thank you for listening!! 🙂
