Hi RYoung! Thank you so much! Yes, I was going for something a bit on the sultry side haha. Good call regarding the pauses, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks again!
Hi Mary! Ah, Million Dollar Baby- great film and great take on this script. Love the accent, and the fact that you make it very clear that the “g’s” at the ends of words are to be dropped deliberately. One super tiny thing- I think there should be a slight pause between “baby’s still alive, and my daddy’s dead.” Right now, those sound like one thing instead of two. Great job! Is this your natural accent, or one of the ones you can affect?
Hello! I’m so glad you think going the breathy route was a good idea. Much appreciated! All the best in your VO journey!
Hiya Mary! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and comment. I appreciate it so very much. Let me go check out some of your recordings! All the best!
Bil- Bo- I absolutely cracked up at the first line of the “Woodies” script for rather obvious reasons (and I’m sure that this was written to inspire that very response). You have great skill in making the copy fun and I love your change in voice/accent. Seriously well done.
Hello beautiful people,
This is a monologue from a TV show, which highlights a woman’s difficulty accepting that her allure in the eyes of men might be fading. I thought that a slightly breathy read might be most appropriate. I recorded it in my home studio. I know there are a few mouth clicks (I’ll be sure to eat a Gala apple and drink plenty of water in advance next time). But what are your thoughts aside from that? Much appreciated!
Here is the text:
It’s a dance. A dance no one had to teach me, a dance I’d known since I first saw my reflection in my father’s eyes. My partners have been princes and starving artists, Greek gods and clowns, and every one of them certain they led. But it’s always my dance. I make the first move, which is no move at all. I always just understand that they will eventually find themselves in front of me, primitive, beautiful animals and their bodies responding to the inevitability of it all. It’s my dance, and I have performed it with finesse and abandon with countless partners. Only the faces change, and all this time, I never suspected that the night would come, when the dance would end.
Hello!
First, congrats on moving towards your narration demo! I think this is great- good cadence, clear, tone is consistent throughout. Best of luck to you!
My home VO studio was finally finished this past weekend and I’ve already been approached about possibly doing an audiobook narration next year! Things are coming together so nicely and I couldn’t be more grateful!
Here’s hoping for prosperity and amazing VO experiences for us all in 2021!
Hello all! First, congratulations on the wonderful website. I completed my narration demo in September, after spending the summer studying with Danielle. I learned so much from her not just about how to speak, but how to care for my voice. Right now, I’m putting together my home studio and I’ve put together a website, where you can hear my demo: http://www.spencerjonesvoiceover.com .
Once my home studio is done, I look forward to actively pursuing work opportunities and seeing where this fun venture takes me after a challenging year! Thanks Edge crew. I’ll be back to do additional studying to be sure.
