Hi Courtney,

Both reads sound really great. I could hear the playfulness and excitement in the Disney read and the warmth and inviting nature of the McDonalds read. One thing I did hear is your pronunciation of Vinaigrette. I think you have an extra vowel. I hear “vinagerette” rather than “vinagrette.” Other than that, great stuff.

Hi Bevy,

I love your tone on Advance Technologies; your speed and fluctuations are great. If I had to get technical I would say that I can hear some feedback and your p’s are a bit poppy. On Stellaluna, your recording level seems to be a bit high, I heard the sound crack a bit when you cried Mother. But it was a great read and I would love to hear you read the whole book!

Really great again, I could listen to the whole book. The nasally voice was a bit difficult to understand clearly, but not impossible.

Hi Steve,

Sounds great. I actually have a question – are you using any effects on your voice? The audio quality sounds great and something I am working on myself.

Hi SWK,

Both readings sounded very similar in expression. Your tone, timing, and pitch are all great – but I was missing something behind those things. With 1-800-Collect, perhaps a little more excitement. And with Invisalign, adding a little softness or sympathy in the beginning and then and more eagerness or persuasion at the end. I don’t know if my suggestions are spot on, but I did feel like something behind the words was missing. I hope that helps!

Hi Mary,

I can hear some mouth noises and have seen two recommendations: move back from the mic a bit and eat something like an apple that is a little t**t. My other recommendation is to bring a little warmth/inflection to it. Nothing dramatic, but a little less formal. Everyone tells me to really smile when I am doing reads.

Other than that, I think your timing is great and I love your rich tone.

Oh and you say “the weldability of materials” instead of metals. 🙂

Hi Salma,

I agree with Shmuel, you could try relaxing just a bit with it but your tone and tempo were great. On Hershey, try to give it a little more excitement and energy and speed it up just a bit. It is a tour, so you want to make sure you are heard, but you want to engage as well.

Hi Schmuel,

Central Washington was excellent, very warm and inviting. I thought the tempo was good – same with Articulations. On Polar Bears, maybe a bit more dramatic. I was picturing this cold desolate place and thought it should be a bit more foreboding of a read. The Stock Market was great with one technical point – on the “s” in “single”, maybe hit that a little softer. I liked the stress of “single” but the “sssingle” stood out (if that makes sense!).

Great reads!

Hi John,

You have a nice tone, but the recordings felt a little flat, more so composition and corpse than condo. I wasn’t sure if you were going for a dead-pan type of read, which could fit, but even if you were, I was waiting for something to stand out a bit. One of the things that helps me when I am feeling flat is to picture who I am talking to.

Also, the music worked on the first and maybe the second, but felt out of place on the third. Also, there was a car honking in the back ground. If you zoom in to the recording you can try to isolate and delete it.

Cool project, good luck with it!
