hello, your recording sounded great! Strong voice, good tempo, good pitch variation. The only thing I could make note on is that the word “Bolder” wasn’t very clear to me. Otherwise, really good job in my opinion!
Hey Everyone,
Sooo… Same drill as my last posting. I’ve got two recordings… same read. Hoping for feedback on the read, but also which voice is preferred.
Thanks!
Rusty
Hi Joel,
I agree with some of what Roman says. I think that if you raised the pitch just a little bit in some areas it would make a lot of difference. On the USO read, the first lines about coming home being a battle… I would read that close to the way you did… it’s sad, but as soon as you start talking about the USO I’d put some happiness in it. As a Veteran who’s used the USO while traveling, I’ll tell ya… it’s a happy thing for us. Also, for a lot of those passengers going to Rome, it may be there holiday or vacation… some joy and happiness here would be really good too. Hope that helps.
Hi Wes,
I just listened to all three recordings and they sounded the same. Yes, the words were different, but the tone, pitch, and tempo were the same and there was very little range. You share something with me that I’m working very h*****n as well… over enunciating words.
Hi Roman,
As I listened to both recordings the one thing that hit me was your lists sounded flat. In the first read all three items sounded the same as far as pitch and tone. There was no variation. The same thing for the first list in the second read. The the second list in the second read you changed the pitch on the last two items and it made a HUGE difference in how they sounded.
Also, I know some of us aren’t as worried about audio quality as we are specificially working on how our read sounds, but the audio quality in the second recording made it difficult for me to listen to. It was like the signal would cut out and then you’d talk again.
Hey Man, is it Walter or Curtis? Which do you prefer?
I liked your voice, tempo, and changes in tone… but to me it did sound chunky, like you were reading independent clauses.
Hey Folks, I’ve got a couple of files I’m posting. They are the same read, but different voices. Could I please not only get feedback on how the read went, but also, which voice is preferred?
Thank you so much!
Rusty
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the detailed feedback. It is very helpful! The audio quality is lower because I’m recording these at my desk (yeah, that’s my chair you hear creaking a bit). The plosives and sibilance is something I will pay closer attention to. Again, thank you for the detailed feedback!

Hi Catgirl,
I agree with Joel about your jazz read. I do think it would benefit from slowing down just a tad. I liked your haunting tale read.Hi Glen,
Great voice. A couple of things I heard: in your AMEX read it sounded like you said car instead of card at the beginning. Other than that, your pace is fast. See how it sounds if you slow it down a little. I really think the cool-jazz read could be awesome if you played with the tempo, especially at the beginning. Just late it drag out a little. Just my thoughts…
