Long time listener, First time caller! Working mostly commercial scripts. The battle is always sounding conversational and taking out pauses that just don’t need to be there. Thanks for listening! Any and all feedback is appreciated! Much love! Keep up the good work everyone!
Love it. I could hear this in a documentary. Very nice to listen to and easy to follow. Your cadence has a nice staccato rhythm without being choppy but I wonder what would happen if you would smooth out a few of the sentences to connect phrases/thoughts. which would add a nice contrast to your natural rhythm. Really nice overall!
Really nice! You have easy to listen to tone. I agree with Jadethevo as well. I think you could achieve more of the conversational tone you are looking for just by picking up the pace of the read a little, and/or getting rid of intra-sentence micro pauses (example is the list at the top of the script). I’m super cognizant of this because of my own coaching sessions. Keep up the great work!
You have a great sound. HookOnPh. read is really nice. I think, based on my own coaching, if you take out some of the glottal stops and smooth out the read just a smidge more, it would be *chef’s kiss* and would likely be the conversational sound you are looking for. The last two sentences were great and a reference for what I mean in smoothing it out. And the Aruba take is also very nice. The natural smile in your tone will get you a lot of work. Spit balling here: I wonder what would happen to your energy level if you did the script in 15 seconds and also got rid of the micro pauses within sentences.
Mouth noises are such a pain in the b***y. Green apples help (something about the acidity) and honestly, de-mouth click software is a LIFESAVER. I use RX9 software.
Great work. I really like take 1. Your personality came out nicely and has energy but not pushed. For my money, I’d love to hear the energy of the first line a little more throughout the rest of the commercial, that makes sense. Well done!
