Hi Mary!

You defiantly did a great job varying your tone and pitch! I can see why you went for a teasing/taunting delivery. It makes sense, however, to echo Alexis, try adding a little more meanness and sarcastic tone to your delivery. Make sense?

Ooooo, very well done! Your natural accent fits the script, Rogue! Nice choice!

These sound like they could be out there right now! You defiantly have the voice for narration, so you are going down the right road. I ditto what Mary said, the Tax reading sounded authentic, but all three were very good first posts! Keep it up!

Hi Mary! Have you tried lowering your tone, but still keeping the energy? Does that make sense? Overall, it was a good read.

This is a great point, Toque. While I am not doing commercial at the moment, I don’t hear the conversational/natural sound in many commercials I hear, either. It’s all pretty announcer-y and energetic (character, as you say). The only exceptions I can think of is the Sam Elliott (Coors, Dodge, etc.) style commercials.

I am in narration at the moment, and I hear the conversational approach, as well. It makes more sense, but I do struggle with “vision your audience”.

Hello everyone!

While I am working towards a narration demo, I like to switch it up now and then for practice. I decided to put together two different (non-Edge Library) promos for Friday’s feedback. One is for TV identification, and the other is for a radio station. (I had to warm up a bit, so I was thinking warm weather with the radio spot!)

Let me know what you think. All feedback is appreciated! (P.S. Any noise in the background is from my laptop. Still working on a desk setup.)

You can’t! I love the original Parent Trap! 🙂

Although, I did like Natasha in the remake… and seeing the cameo of “Aunt Vicky”. 🙂

Thanks, Mary! Grace was my pick from the beginning. 🙂

Same thing happened to me. (I asked below.) I still need to contact Edge to delete, but someone on staff who is a forum admin can delete it for you. I wish we had the capabilities to delete them ourselves (and no timer on the edit function).

Hi Chas!

Nice pacing with the read, and your tone and pitch, I felt, were good.

Audio quality: The read sounded like it didn’t flow together; not natural in some spots — like the sentences were spliced together, as opposed to the extra length between sentences cut out. What am I hearing?
