Hi Mary,
I think your reading was clear and understandable and also sounded smooth and natural. For this particular script, I might suggest putting some more emphasis on the first mention of “Amtrak,” but overall, nice read!
-SarahLooking back at your questions: Regarding the recording quality, the volume was a little low, as if you were kind of in the distance. That may have also contributed to why I couldn’t here the words as clearly at first. Assuming you are using the computer’s internal mic, that’s probably a big factor. An external mic would probably make a big difference.
Hi SuperLuke,
Your character renditions were really nice. I think the pitch and tone were right on, and the characters just came across really well. Enunciation could have been a little clearer in the DJ script. I confess I wasn’t able to make out the name of the restaurant being promoted, but as I said, I think everything else about it was good, and just loved that dog!Thank you both for the feedback. Here’s a retake, attempting to take your suggestions into account. Making use of the ability to add audio attachments to replies. 🙂 Sorry for the bump at the beginning of the track. Thanks so much!
That’s interesting. I mean, do you think it would be appropriate to leave audio feedback? Sometimes I feel like that would be easier for me, but then again, I wouldn’t want anyone to feel like they had to read something the way I would, like maybe that could restrict freedom of interpretation perhaps? Maybe I’m way off, but just a thought. On the other hand, I guess there could also be good opportunities to learn from others’ interpretations.
I hope I’m posting this in the right place. First recording and still figuring out the forum layout, but anyway, here goes. Feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah
Beethoven
Of all the hundreds of symphonies that have been composed, none can rival in popularity or emotional interest the nine great symphonic works that Beethoven wrote. Beethoven took music off the pedestal of formal beauty, where Haydn and Mozart had left it, and immersed it in the whirlpool of life. He roughened it up until it began to do what he expected it to do … to express problems, evoke emotions, move and struggle exuberantly. More people can respond at once to a Beethoven symphony than to any other. Many have written fine symphonies, but Beethoven’s remain in a class by themselves, as invaluable a part of our heritage as are Shakespeare’s plays.Hi Mary,
I think you had a nice, clear reading for the Freshii script, and I feel there was some good pitch variation, such that it was interesting to listen to and definitely did not sound flat. I might suggest trying it with a bit more volume and more of an upbeat tone. You captured some of the excitement I’m suggesting toward the end of the script, from “$12.99” onward, so I might suggest more of that throughout.
Very nice job. Look forward to hearing more.
Best,
Sarah
