Hi Laura,
The tempo of this read was very appropriate for the topic. I like the tone of your voice. My one suggestion would be to put a little more emphasis on important words in the read such as “highlight” “choose”, etc. Nice job!

Hi Natasha,
Your voice has a lovely, rich quality to it. You did a nice job matching your tone to the tone of each of the reads. My one critique for each would be to speed up your pace a bit. They felt a little too slow. Nice job for your first post!
Hi Lorraine,
I liked the second take the best. Your tempo was good compared to the first, which felt a little slow. Your tone in the first seemed a little too somber, but the tone in the second was still serious but felt more inviting. I would also suggest pitching the last word, “needs” of the script down rather than up. (I honestly, can’t tell exactly why. I haven’t been at the VO very long. 🙂 Still learning.) I feel pitching up at the end makes it sound more like a question. Also, I have definitely felt myself second-guessing how I am reading a script. When I hear it in my head it sounds a certain way and then I record and it sounds very different to me. You are not alone! I think this is a very natural part of the process. You’re doing great!
TheresaHi Kristin,
Your voice has a very nice tone, warm and inviting. My suggestion for improvement would be to vary your pitch a bit by picking some of the important words in the text to emphasize. Nice job putting up your first post!!
TheresaHi Mel,
Copper Cow Coffee – The tone of your voice is very nice- clear, crisp annunciation. My suggestion for improvement would be to slow your pace a bit.
Afganistan – You did a nice job changing pace and tone between the two recordings. Your tone here was more serious and appropriate for the topic. Congrats on your first post!Hi Hennessey,
Your voice has a very nice tone. It is great for narration. My suggestion for improvement would be to slow your pace down, just a bit. Congrats on your first post!
TheresaHello everyone! Would appreciate feedback on these two reads. Curious about how my acting is. Are my voice and character appropriate for each read? Would love any feedback. Thanks!
Hello Pamela,
Your voice has a lovely, clear sound. For the Tiny Dancer read, I would suggest slowing down and imagining yourself actually in the room introducing this painting to a group. A slower read will allow the viewers time to note the different elements of the painting. For the women at work read, I would suggest putting more emphasis on the name of the survey “Women at Work ” and some of the keywords “inclusion, diversity, voluntary, anonymous”. Great Job!Hello,
There is a smoothness to the tone of your voice that I enjoy listening to. You did a nice job varying the delivery between these two reads based on the subject. My suggestion for improvement would be, on the words you gave emphasis and inflection to, I would put a little more punch behind them. Great job!
