Pmuller,
You seem to have some ambient sound like a hiss or a low buzz. If you can’t locate the source you can take it out with the noise reduction function in your software. Better to eliminate the sound up front if possible. I ran your file through Audacity and did a noise reduction and manually silenced a couple of spots. Play it and see the difference. Keep on truckin.
TomMarco,
Nice resonant voice, great pacing and attitude ;-). A couple of observations. Breaths distract from the copy. The copy has a lot of S sounds in it, which can sound hissy on playback. Words like Six and Save can sound drawn out. Plosives can sound too loud even when not obviously popping. On the endings of words like hat or dotcom try not to swallow the consonant sound. Lately, I have been editing a lot of my own recordings and I have many of the same small distractions that I can usually clean up in post. I gave yours a once-over and have the file attached.
Keep up the great work.
TomEsandyii,
I really like the pacing and sincerity of both reads. I am picking up mouth noises and some breathing that are a bit distracting. On glenfiddich listen for the mouth sounds just before the first spoken word. You may want to back off the mic some or reduce the gain some. Staying hydrated and maybe try some apple slices or room temp apple juice to help w the mouth noises. You can silence the breaths in post. Hope your class is going well.
TomHey eduke45,
Nice, clean recording. I like your clear articulation. I would suggest on the Nature read, since you are speaking as an earthworm, that you give it a try, visualizing a helpful, articulate, maybe a little goofy earthworm might sound. Have some fun with it.
On both reads try to imagine you are speaking to someone, rather than just delivering some information. Pick out a few operative words that you want to accentuate with tone and/or volume changes.
Tom
