Hi all!

I am figuring out my mic volume, placement, and a good standing distance from the mic. I am aware of mouth noise (I am using a pop filter).

Here’s a short in-show/promo/commercial spot to test things out.

As always, all feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Mary! Good read.

It was clear, but I felt the pacing could of been a little faster in spots, or maybe don’t pause too long after commas.

Maybe it is me, but this didn’t sound like a pistol commercial. Perhaps it’s the script I am having an issue with, because this sounded more suited for an RV read.

I hope this helps!

Nice read, Mary!

I liked the chuckle at the end, lol. It sounded clear and conversational, but I felt like there should be a little more energy to the read.

A suggestion is to vary your pitch in your list (especially You’ll have over 700 airlines, over 45,000 hotels, and over 50 rental car companies all at your fingertips.), but don’t pause after each comma — by varying your pitch, you can make the read flow better without having to micro-pause. Make sense?

I hope this helps!

Hi all, here is an intro for a how-to video on shucking oysters that I put together. Let me know what you think. I am aware of mouth clicks (not hydrated enough today), and some background noise that I could not figure how to edit out. Thank you again for any feedback.

Thank you, rogue! I appreciate you taking the time to listen, and providing feedback — noted!

monibr16 — Nice job! I could hear the difference and improvement from your last read. Keep it up!

Robert — I guess we can call you “the most interesting man in the world”? 😉

Hi Mary!

Maybe a little more emphasis on “Cold Snap” in the opening line, and “This Sam Adams seasonal…” in the next line? I could hear your pitch and tone change some with the list of seasonal spices, but it could vary a little more. The list read did flow well, to me, so good job there.

Good job, overall. Keep it up!

P.S. Since you like beer, try a read for Rolling Rock? The bottle phrasing might be an interesting read. 🙂

Hi Amitofu — for Script 1, I preferred the first take, and in Script 2, I liked the second read. I hope this helps. Keep it up!

Hi Robert!

Nice reads! The pacing was good in each. As for audio quality, I listened a handful of times to each one, and I preferred the second one a little more, too. It had a rich, slightly deeper, tone. The first read sounded, initially, a tiny bit distant in sound. As you say, it may just be a matter of experimenting more.

I hope this helps!
