Hi CYeschenko, good work! I remember recording this one a while back and I was having trouble finding places to breathe, the script has some pretty long phrases – you did very well on that! Good variation in the lists (“…standing , sitting, stepping, reaching, pushing, pulling, getting balanced”), and really clear diction, which is perfect for this genre. Very good!

Hi Rogue1, really solid work! I liked #1 best for sound quality and the read overall. Each read had some nice variations too, but #1 had a great range of inflection in addition to delivering the script in a conversational way without stretching it out unnaturally.
The sound quality for reads 2, 3 and 4 do sound hollow, not sure how you alleviate that. I’m using a portable isolation booth now which has made a big difference for me (would have been difficult to soundproof my home studio otherwise). I’ve been working with the sound engineers at Sweetwater and they are sooooo helpful in offering solutions to tweak my home studio, help with my mic, etc. Excellent work on these as per usual, and you are welcome for offering feedback!

Thanks for the feedback Jasjo171! That is really nice of you to say. I tend to struggle with emotion a bit, so it’s something I need to work on. Thanks!
Mary
Thanks for the feedback Toque! I’m glad it is coming across as more conversational. More emotion for Guild guitars is fitting; it is all about remembering what it took to get there. Thanks again!

Hi Rogue1, thanks for the feedback! Yes that makes sense to slow down Guild Guitars a bit – the script is describing something that happens over time that takes years to perfect, maybe like an aged whiskey type vibe, good tip. On the lead-ins I have been leaving them in but now that I know how to cut them out I will start doing that. Thanks again!

Hi everyone! Feeling in a guitar mood for some reason tonight. Here are a couple of recordings for any and all feedback. Thank you in advance!

Guild Guitars
When you’ve played a guitar for years, every scratch, ding, and worn-down fret means something. The places you’ve been, the songs you’ve sung, the people you’ve shared your music with. That’s what a Guild is all about. Made to be played. Guild Guitars.Sheryl Crow
Long before she was a roots rock sensation, Sheryl Crow honed her skills by singing backup for Don Henley and Michael Jackson and jamming with other L.A.-based musicians in the Tuesday Night Music Club. But by the time her catchy single “All I Wanna Do” stormed the radio and earned her three Grammys in ’94, it was clear she’d make it as a solo singer/songwriter.Hi Chas, thanks for the feedback! Yeah for lead-ins! Simple and so easy to chop off later as needed. I’m glad it is sounding authentic and conversational, that is good to hear. I’m also really enjoying pairing music with a specific script, that is really fun as well. Thanks again!
Mary
Thanks for the feedback Toque! I’m glad the sound quality is improving and that it sounds more conversational, appreciate it!

Hi John, thanks for the feedback! Lead-ins are making a difference to me – feel like it helps prep my brain get ready to perform the read. Thanks again!
