Hi Nader, very nice! Your voice has a nice warm and calm quality and sounds very good for this genre and script. Your pacing was nice and not rushed and you took the time to paint a visual picture. Very good! You are on the right track.

Hi everyone! Here is a onboarding script for your review for my upcoming narration demo. I was going for pleasant (but not irritating) enthusiasm. Let me know what you think!

Texicon Family
Hey there new employee, or should we say, new family member. As a member of the Texicon family, we want to formally introduce you to your new home, but not too formal because that’s just not our style. Now you’ve already got your new uniforms and met with our incredible CEO, or head of the family as we like to call him. Now it’s time for me to bring you up to speed on what your days are going to be filled in with. Make sure you grab some of the complimentary cake you have in front of you, we love cake here so you’re going to have to get used to that, and see what the rest of your time at the Texicon household has in store for you!You are welcome Shaun! Glad you got the one-sided recording thing fixed, I hope it was something relatively simple! 🙂

Hi Bil-Bo, really nice and well produced! Great pacing, clarity and variation in tone, I can hear this on the radio as is! Very good.

Hi Jimmy good work! Your voice is friendly, approachable and clear, I agree that it sounds trustworthy.
Real Estate: – Good pacing on this one and it got my attention, I liked this one the best for you.
Company website: Very believable and good pacing for this one, like you were talking with a friend.
Social Security: No specific criticisms on this one. Good work!Mary
Hi Steve! Very nice! I like your deep warm and clear voice – it cuts through nicely!
Cosmos: This was my favorite for you, your voice is very well suited for space narration. Great pacing, pauses and emphasized words throughout. After “…rippling with life.” it seems like you could take just a micro-pause longer, like you are setting the stage for the rest of the story. The word “cost” had a slight accent, sounded like “cawst” (Boston area maybe?) that I did not hear for the rest of the script, just an observation from me, a mid-westerner.
AEC: This was clear and had good pacing, but you did not sound as connected / interested in the script.
Time Capsule: I liked this one, but it felt a tiny bit rushed. You could perhaps pause a tiny bit more after some of the questions, which will allow listeners to take a beat and think about the questions, not a big deal. Really nice work!!Mary
Hi Devon, good work!
Misfits: There seemed to be a lot of unnecessary pauses in this one in the first sentence, which made it a little choppy sounding and less conversational. The last “misfitsmarket.com” seemed to get low and trailed off, to emphasize the brand in a more positive light, I would bring up the tone more. Also “for everyone!” sounded like “fer”. I do this too and it is a hard habit to break as part of my natural accent. Per my coach, I will write in “4” instead of “for” to tell my brain to not to skip over it with a “fer”.
Allstate: This was nice, but you might try it with more smile in your voice, which will sound warmer and more reassuring to the listener.
Starbucks: Nice smile in your voice. I liked the variation of tone your use in the list “and while your morning might look like this. Or this. Or even this.” I liked this one the best for you. Keep it up!Mary
Hi all! Here is a script for review – the first one is without music, the second is with you guessed it, piano music (same spoken recording for both). Let me know what you think!

This is a guide for piano beginners. Ten chapters guide you all the way from zero knowledge to the point where you are sitting with your hands at the keyboard with all the understanding and resources you need. This guide cannot replace learning and practicing, but we can show you how to get the most out of your time. So even if you already have some playing experience, you can still find something valuable here.
