Thanks for the feedback, Brian!

Pronunciation: I am trying hard to work on the pronunciations. I live in the northeast, and I have really become aware of dialect as a result of starting the program.

First sentence: This was the slowest read of my practice. I feel like if I go any slower, I’ll sound too choppy, but, I’m definitely trying to find the balance. I almost felt like this sentence really needed a micro-pause in it.

Flat: I do have a rather monotone voice. I’m pretty chill, so reflecting enthusiasm into copy is something I’m practicing to convey. I think I’m trying too hard to remember everything. It is important to interpret the script, to find ones audience, but picturing them in my mind is throwing me off for some reason. When watching documentaries, narrating voices usually sound flat to me; not much emotion. Is it just me who hears that?

Thank you for the constructive criticism!

Hi everybody! I am looking for feedback for this documentary read to prepare for my narration demo. Any feedback is appreciated!

About Horror

Take a trip back to a time when late night creature features were all the rage and the personalities that presented them were just as popular as the movies.

Beginning in the 1950s, the horror fest was a staple of regional television. From ghouls to vampires – to werewolves and crypt keepers – every host had a persona to suit their unique personalities.

I enjoyed both reads! A great job on both, however, I would go with Script 1. Just something about it. Be careful of slight micro-pauses, but otherwise, awesome work!

Hi fleishman619 — you did a great job with the tempo in this read! I would be careful of sounding “breathy” between sentences. Understandable, as you say, it was recorded on your phone, so it does pick up the littlest sounds. Overall, you have a great voice for this style of narration. Keep it up!

Hi mrtripo9! I love you attempted a poem! Great job in varying your pitch in the last verse. Be careful of micro-pauses not intended in the verses. Keep it up!

Hi Tim! I thought your pace in the reading was great. It sounds like you need a slight pause between these sentences: I don’t need someone else looking out for me. I need someone who can help me look out for myself. I did hear some “clicking”, too, a combination between speaking some words and equipment. I hope this helps!

Hi Thomas, you have a great voice for commercials! My feedback is for the recording quality — I think I heard a little bit of static, especially in your first read. I am getting used to working recording equipment, so this is completely understandable. Overall, keep it up!

Hi danvasq4030! I think you have a great voice for this style of narration. Calm, warm, easy-listening. The quality of your recording was clear, too. As already mentioned, be careful of extra pauses not in the script, however, you needed a micro-pause between “support … Press 3”. The Press 3 line was also read a little faster compared to the rest of the script. Overall, good job!

Hi arwilliamsvo! Great read on all of three! Nice smooth delivery. On your Legos script: I heard Lego on the last line, as opposed to Legos previously. Did I catch that right?

Nice read! I really like this!
