As usual, Bil, your reads are a lot of fun.
Wondering how you recorded it – did you do it switching back and forth between characters, or one Bee and then the next, and stitched the two reads together.
Often, your music overwhelms the read, but this time, it was perfect. I heard the music, felt the music, but your reads were dominant. Great.
Bee 2 is mad, but I didn’t quite hear the anger, I would up the anger just a little bit. This is a comedy duo, and you need a straight man and a comedy man, or a light and heavy character. Bee 2 is the heavy. Of course, not too much, as this is a cartoon.
“And that, our human friends, is where the trouble begins” – sorry, but this sounds like an AI read. There were kind of glottal stops between the words, or something. It wasn’t smooth
“No, you haven’t” was an ah-shucks read. I would experiment with doing different versions, like pedandic, laconic, a tad angry (but not like Bee 2), etc.
Wish you success,
ShmuelHi DLeeVO,
Technical quality sounds good.
Animal planet sounds almost like your are yelling, not just excited. I would tone it down just a little bit, and make the read smoother.
Motivation started to get monotonous pretty quickly, and yes you do sound like another person, but I did not hear the “cold or allergy ” affect that JustJohn said. But hey, a lot of this is subjective. Sounding like another person in this case is very very good in my opinion. It shows you can do different reads. Some of the words were not clear “… again to the top athletes …” is what I heard. Act out some of the words, just a little bit.
Wish you success.Hello Beautiful People,
Attached is a sample I recorded in my new space. Your feedback is requested on all aspects, but especially on the technical sound aspect. As they say, two ears are better than one.
The don’t say that ?
Well, they should.
Thanks!Hi John,
The reads sound like you are reading the words, not saying the message. There is a sing-song about your read which is the same sing-song with everything you say. “Magical” should be quite different from the other words, for example.
Intuition – “soap or body wash” sounded like “soapoh buddy wash”Hi greta,
Only listened to the first one. Sound is good.
There was some silence at the beginning, and I thought something was wrong with the file or my computer.
It sounds like you are reading. Get some acting in to it. At the beginning, when you are in trouble, let’s hear your frustration.
And then it dawns on you that you have this solution. Let’s hear that light bulb “ding” the first time you say it, like you did way at the end (which was pretty good, btw).
You have a great voice, and wish you success!A practice sample for narration. Welcome message of American Airlines (taken from the library here). Your feedback is requested, especially since I am recording in a new environment. Thanks !
