Hello, Sarah! Beautiful read—-very crisp, clear, and inviting to the ear. Also, a unique choice on your tone as one might expect a rather dire expression, but your read is very hopeful without losing any of the gravitas of the message. My one (minor) note would be to perhaps pause a bit longer before you hit the “Brought to you by…” section as I feel it’s more of a coda and not part of the main message. Well done!
Hello, everyone! Another home record (just me and my Snowball) taking a crack at another read. All comments welcome–thank you for taking the time to listen!

We all dream about our next vacation. Living in the warm glow of what could be, we plan, and scroll, and binge, and while some of us stop there, others turn those dreams into action. The “bookers”, the “do-ers”, the “hit that confirmation button and let’s go-ers”. Bookers are the ones out there living it, feeling it, breathing it. These are the people that say “Today’s the day, Poughkeepsie!” Because Bookers know that the perfect place to stay is right there for the booking. Be a “booker” at booking.com
Hi Kathy. Lovely read, very-well suited as a CBS interstitial. Technically, I did have to up my volume a bit to hear your record, plus I’m hearing what might be a bit of lip-smack on “CBS Evening News” (I keep green apples handy to munch on as I wrestle with the same issue). Nicely done!
That’s a lovely read! Lots of engaging energy and the perfect amount of effortless “smile” in your delivery. Great work!
Wow! Very rich, beautiful quality to your read! No tech issues (though maybe a plosive on “perfect” and “pregame”). I would agree with the others that the pause is just a bit too long at the comma after “four delicious”, but otherwise I’m ready for a delicious bowl of Campbell’s chili! Well done!
Hi Mary, As always, a clean, inviting read! My one note (and this is a personal preference thing), would be to try infusing even more conversational energy into your performance. For example, the section starting with “So brace yourself…” seems to beg a change in energy to become an emphatic aside to your listener (Perhaps a “Yeah, you think you’re covered, bucko, but just you wait…” kind of tone). You’re got the craft down, now continue to have fun with the expression of the message! Keep up the great work!
Hi, Svenbot. Another really fun read! It definitely forms an image in my head of what the colorful announcer on the other side of the P.A. might look like—-great character-building! On a tech note, I do hear a bit of crackle or static under parts of your read. Not sure what’s causing it, but something to fix so as to not impinge upon your fine performance.
Hi, Katelyn. Lovely, inviting quality to your delivery. I think you definitely achieve a natural spontaneity once you hit the second line in the script, though I feel your beginning sounds more like you’re reading rather than, say, talking with a friend. Maybe try the old trick of speaking a few intro lines in your head to more naturally dive into the script. e.g. in your head: “Wow, Myrtle, I didn’t know you were into ice bergs”, out loud: “This Official Alaska Vacation Planning Video…” (I’m working on this myself, so I can certainly relate!) Maybe also hit “love” a little more on “you’re going to love this video…” Really great work!
