Hi there, I enjoy your voice. The thing I’m not hearing is the thing I’m working on myself — connection. I like your pacing and appreciate how you’re landing on some words or injecting some attitude into others. But it doesn’t still doesn’t feel like you’re talking to me in person. The ancestry clip, for example, I don’t feel like you’re actually asking me the questions so much as reading them. How would you ask me these questions if I were standing right in front of you — and you really wanted to know if it was my mom in those pictures? How can you translate that kind of engaged energy to the copy?
Good pacing here. It sounds like you’re reading the script, so what can you do to make this copy feel more natural? If you were saying this to me in person, how would you say it? I notice there’s also a rhythm in your speech, punching words regularly on a downbeat. If you can catch yourself doing it, then you can control it and use it effectively where it’s needed. You’ve got a nice voice!
Great energy! Good feeling, but sometimes I can’t make out what you’re saying because the momentum obscures the words. This seems very much an acting exercise, so assuming you’re aiming for drama shows or video games. I agree with the previous poster, being more in the character will help the character’s story land better — right now it’s all the same level of intensity, but if you vary the range, more meaning and empathy will flow.
Yep, it’s a great read! Great pacing and feel! I’m looking for something to work on here, but if I were hiring this would be in the final selects!
Hello, here are two new clips where I’m trying what I think is the appropriate voice for the copy given the finished commercials. Please let me know how authentic it sounds (though I never order a drink this way), and please, can anyone hear my laptop fan??? Thanks!
Hi, Lorraine, your voice is smooth, pleasant, and clear. The pacing here is a bit slow, and it sounds like you’re reading the script carefully, but not necessarily paying attention to the words. I think if you speak with more energy and engagement, it will vary the dynamic range and sound more natural. Good to hear you!
Hello, folks, this is my first time posting here. I’ve got two commercial clips here, and I’m looking for technical feedback as well as vocal feedback. I’m particularly working on eliminating micropauses for a smoother flow, and also, well, the acting part isn’t comfy yet, either! Thanks in advance! –Mel
