It’s the weekend and that means another homework assignment. I picked Motel 6 because it can be cheeky so I put a little ‘attitude’ in there. I’m not Tom Bodell (for you youngsters, he was basically THE voice of Motel 6 for what seems like forever. This one was fun 🙂
A beautiful and clear voice! I could certainly see you voicing narrations such as the Niagara Falls recording. There were some plosives in both reads. Not many but a few. I love the ‘smirking’ tone of “See you later alligator” – that came through loud and clear. Great job!
Hi Nik,
I think you have a very pleasing and clear voice. So aside from the reverb in the recordings (which I’m sure you will fix as time goes on with proper treatments), your reads were good. I would suggest when reading a list of things like the “Make them, share them, store them, invent” part, try to give different inflections for each part. Otherwise it sounds pretty monotone throughout. Also, I couldn’t really make out the last word ‘invent’ which may be due to the reverb.
Thank you for your comment. Yes there is some reverb and background noise going on. I didn’t record these in my booth. Had a power surge in the house a few days ago and lost some appliances. So I recorded these out in the open so to speak. Figured for practice scripts it was ok. However, as for the ends of words being cut off, perhaps my editing was a little too aggressive trying to compensate for being outside my booth. Thanks again!
Hi Steve. I really like the clarity of your voice. The tone of your read was also very good. I’m finding it difficult to critique, but if I had to mention one thing I’d say the rhythm/pace could be picked up a bit. Again, I liked it very much and could definitely see your voice in this spot. I would just say a little more energy. LITTLE more… lol
