Because its been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted here I thought I’d drop a couple more recordings for y’all to beat me up with. Please disregard any background noise or echo, I’m not in my studio. Thanks!
Hi Dillon, some of your words sound like they’re getting run together or not completed. I think that might be what Lance was referring to. For your narration, maybe try slowing your tempo a little. That’s some advice my coach keeps giving me.
Hi AJS, I think your voice sounds great. I’m not sure if its the sound quality of if you’ve got a bit of vocal fry going on, but I’ve been told vocal fry can be a bad thing. Just what I’ve heard. I’m working towards my narration demo as well and one thing I’ve been told a couple of times is that we should let the narration “breath” more. I had a habit of rushing through my reads. Once I started slowing down, giving some space and pausing a bit, it started to sound much better. As good as your voice is, I’d bet that if you slowed your tempo just a bit, the reads would sound even better.
Hi Todd, Nice reads! I agree with nicolance aobut the Calloway piece. It was all one tone. I also think you might have hit “resist” and “insist” a little hard. Just my thoughts for what they’re worth.
I too think your Hawaii piece was really good.Hi Joyce, something I struggled with (and still do at times) is sounding more like I’m having a conversation with someone instead of like I’m telling a whole room full of people. Think about someone you’d naturally tell about Dove SS and then try to just have a conversation with them. See if that helps.
Hi Joyce, I think you Macy’s read had fairly good tempo, but as others have said, it came across a bit like an announcer. Imagine you were telling your daughter about this… have a conversation with her.
Hey folks, it’s been a minute but thought I’d throw this up for some of your awesome feedback.
Thanks!
Only one read tonight… thank you, in advance for your feedback. It is really helping.
Please disregard the audio quality, I’m sitting at my desk instead of in my “studio.”
Thank you!
Rusty
Mike,
I continue to appreciate the detailed feedback. I am really learning to hate nasal pops. I contracted pneumonia back in October and haven’t been able to shake all the congestion yet. I HATE it!
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the feedback on my Allure read. I listened to both of yours and feel you did a really good job, especially with the Bob Ross one. One note I had on the Primanti brothers is about timing… I might put a small pause, maybe another heartbeat, between “…strip district” and “an area.” Try it and let me know what you think… I felt like they were both good reads!
