Hi Kathy! This was good. It may be a regional pronunciation difference, but I noticed that you said “caviar” with an accented last syllable, but I have only ever heard it accented on the first syllable, not a big deal but I had not heard it that way before (nor do I eat a lot of caviar :))
On the “And, don’t forget dessert!” it sounded a little monotone, and not like an exclamation point, but more like a period. I did not hear a pause after “and,” this might help punch up that line. That sentence feels like it should be emphasized like you did with “…bottle of wine!”. On the last line, the “…cookies for Santa” seemed a little monotone as well; I think you could try more emphasis on “naughty”. just my opinion so it does not just fade off in thought and pitch. Good job!!!

Hi Robert, sure. I hope to get a mic soon, so it will be good to keep in mind the best way to use it.

Hi Kathy! Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been working on the variation, glad that you could hear it!

Thanks for the feedback Robert! I’m glad you can hear improvement, that’s nice of you to say. And yes, trying to pay attention to the important words to get the intended meaning across. Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback SFish! Definitely trying to sound authentic but not over the top, I will work on the visulization! Thanks!

Totally understand that Brianne as I’m working on that too! I think that every voice I’ve heard here is unique in its own way; there really is amazing variety and subtle textures in everyone’s voice. There is only one you, so be you! 🙂

Hello all! Looking for any and all feedback (recorded on my phone). Working on sounding trustworthy for this one. Let me know what you think. (oops, missed the word “with” in the first sentence – ug). Thanks!

United Bank and Trust
Ten years ago, you could walk into your bank and people called you by your first name. You’d sit down with someone you’d been working with for years, and you’d get the help you needed … and it was personal … one on one … you know what I mean. But now in most banks, you’re just a number … and unless you’re a big customer with a fat account, don’t look for any favors. Thank heaven there’s UNITED BANK AND TRUST, doing business the old-fashioned way.Hi ArWilliams! I really like this! Very conversational and authentic for your voice. You successfully created a visual in my head with anxiety as a physical character talking to someone, really nice emotion. Great emphasis on the appropriate words throughout. If you have not tried poetry, I think your voice would be great for that. This is also great, it just struck me when listening to this read. We want to hear more!
