Hi Jen, really nice! You are a natural and your voice is well-suited for these genres. I like the recording production too. You have a very clear and confident sound which is great for real estate. I likes your delivery of the last sentence in the first recording “How’s this weekend for you?”, really kept my attention throughout. Great job!

Hi Ed, good job! Very clear and well-paced throughout. I liked all 3 of these for you with USPS bring my favorite. I think you could slow down Jack Daniels a little and really lean into what is being said. It sounded like the words were a little smushed together in “We still make it in a slow, deliberate fashion…” I’d like to hear this one again, and I give you permission to act it out this time, like you are actually chatting with a neighbor in the middle of the road, like you have all day to talk about the weather! Good work!

Hi Tim, good job! I liked the first recording slightly better, although I did not hear a big difference between the two. I think the first one performance-wise sounded clearer to me as well. Thanks!
Mary
Hi Bev, very nice! I really like the texture in your voice – so rich and interesting! I liked all 3 scripts, and I think you were the most believable and dramatic in the first one “A Haunting Title”. I’m hearing a little bit of background noise like paper rustling but overall it’s very good!

Hello all! I’m back after a short break! Please let me know what you think – I’m working on recording my narration demo soon. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks! Mary

Yes I think I was running out of breath to pause where I did; I will try again. Thanks for the detailed comments!

Hi Don! Good reads. For Jaguar, it seemed a bit rushed in spots. I think the script has a lot of statements within it, so I would just let it breathe a little more. By pausing after the statements you are giving the listener time to catch up with what you are telling them, and it becomes more believable. I liked the tone of the Denali piece, good variation in tone and pacing. Good job!
Mary
Hi Schmuel! Great job! I like them both and the fact that they sounded different from one another. Good energy on both. A-1 sounded nice and warm and with good emphasis on key words. Very good!
Mary
Hi Sarah – I like it! Your voice is very nice and light, and good for this genre of script. I could hear the smile in your voice. It sounded almost like a marching rhyme (“send them to sleep”) in spots; you might try just reading it a little more straightforward / smoother manner to make it sound more conversational, just a few less pauses. Great job on this!
Mary
Hi all! I’m looking for any and all feedback on this narration piece, 3 takes on the same script. Let me know which one you prefer. I’m going for conversational and authentic. Thanks!

Gertrude Käsebier was an American photographer who was known for her images of motherhood and her portraits of Native Americans; her portraits of the Sioux focused more on the expression and individuality of the person than their costumes and customs. She helped establish the Women’s Professional Photographers Association of America and promoted photography as a career for women.
