I auditioned for 3 jobs today – man I gotta figure out a way to reduce the amount of time I take per audition – any tips?
These are for 3 different jobs.1) Young student enthusiastic and passionate about the topic for eLearning
2) Didn’t give direction but I thought based on the script they were going for storytelling and heartwarming for a corporate video
3) Didn’t give direction but based on the script I had some fun, and gave 2 versions – internal videoHi there! Just a couple of practice reads for narration. The one I have posted before for the women’s documentary going on my demo and the second is for an internet video! Thought I would post the 2 different types of reads.
The women’s doc is straightforward, factual
The internet one is hopefully friendly upbeat and conversationalI really love your voice/accent and delivery but I honestly couldn’t really focus on your beautiful performance because of your overuse of a noise gate. You can’t mask ambient noise with a noise gate, you need to treat the area to properly with sound-absorbing panels or an isolation booth. So I wouldn’t worry about trying to mask the noise in your recordings here because it is a place for practice. Take time to properly treat your space for noise so when you are recording at a professional level you don’t need the noise gate anyways.
Hey there! Nice read! I think the only part that stood out to me was near the end:
“. And with videos broken up into digestible parts, and supplemented by exercises and games, the next step to your best self is truly only a few clicks away.” I think this sentence was a little bit fast, if you could give these concepts a little more attention “videos broken up into digestible parts” ironically I felt I needed a little time to digest those words in my brain lol
Don’t be stuck in life, love, work – or anything!
And I think this list was read a little fast as well, remember to give each item of the list a slightly different feel.Other than that I thought this was great! 🙂

Hi folks! Here is an audition I submitted for a cookbook audiobook. I was trying to give two reads – the first one more relaxed and the second more upbeat. They were going for a cheerful and informative read. Any feedback is appreciated! I always struggle to come up with 2 reads that are varied from each other.
Hi Steve, really fantastic job on this read. I felt like you were seeing what you were saying and were very engaged with the copy. If I were to nit pick I think the word “birdsong” was lost a little bit. Really really nice work! You had a laid back ease to this read. Very comfortable sounding.
Nice! I really enjoy the way you are able to include a bit of that New Orleans dialect but still maintaining a clear delivery. Nice script choice!
