Hi Scotty!
Very good! I love the tone of your voice! Good pacing and enunciation. Be mindful of sounding breathy between sentences. Otherwise, good job! Keep it up!

Very nice, John! Welcome!
You have a great voice for biography/documentary; warm and welcoming. Your pacing, I thought, was good. Be mindful of pausing in your read where it’s not build into the script. The one thing that really stood out to me was the pronunciation of “Monet”. I have included a link for reference.

I hope this helps!

Hi Brian!
I have been trying to get my feedback to you posted, but I had some issues with the forum.
Overall: Nice reads. Good job on pitch and tone variations.
Script 1: In the opening line, you changed the read, from: It’s not that you’d… to It’s not like you’d…. I am not sure if I would go up in pitch at the ends of the sentences, considering they are not questions, but with that said, it is a different delivery that seems to stand out from the expected. At the same time, the pace/tone on this read sounded the best in your third sentence (at least to me).
Script 2: I liked the delivery. Good tone and pacing. Watch for micro-pausing not intended — noticed a slight break in your third sentence.
Script 3: I, too, liked this read the best. Maybe a little more variation in your first set of lists?: on your phone, your computer, your tablet and more. (I did catch an added “on”; just be mindful of this — I think it’s common to do when trying to sound as natural as possible.)
I hope this is helpful! I believe we have the same vocal coach, and I am working on some of the same things you are practicing.
Keep it up! Good job!
Kathy
Thank you, Brian, for the compliment! I absolutely get what what you mean about real vs. “real”, and I agree. Thanks, again!

Hi FCabral!
The pacing sounded good to me. The read was clear, too, and your voice is suited for medical narration, with a warm vocal delivery.
I hope this is helpful!

Thank you, Mary!
Podcasting does let you have more free rein, so to speak, this is true. There is not as much pressure to follow the rules, and to be yourself, while still performing and acting a little — like I did here. Clarity/enunciation/pronunciation is still important, but I did this on a whim. Give it a try!
Happy New Year!

Thanks Robert! Have one for me (right now), lol! I am making “75’s” later for the ball drop…
It really was pretty fun, but I can’t seem to replicate that casualness in my sessions, or other readings. I am sure it will get easier.
I, too, have had podcasts cross my mind. Not sure what, or if I actually would. Time will tell. Good luck to you in that pursuit! Keep us posted!
Happy New Year!
Ugh … *slaps forehead* … another edit: *Rachael* Ray.
If there are any more… I blame the late night hour.
