Hi aj. First off, I think you’ve got a great voice – lots to work with there! Generally, I’d suggest some work on the technical side of your recording and/or recording environment. I’m hearing a bit of a boxy sound, which could be due to a few things, including being too close to the mic, or maybe having too small a space or too much sound absorption in place? I’m no sound engineer, and I’m struggling with something similar in my new booth as well. I’m also hearing a low rumble throughout both reads. It’s quite noticeable, especially as the recording ends. Half an hour or so with a sound engineer from Edge might be worthwhile? Good job, and keep at it! T
Hi all. I went through the demo program a couple of years ago. Started actively auditioning on Voices.com in May 2021, and was lucky enough to get a bunch of auditions short-listed, and actually booked a (very small) character job for an online ad in June 2021. Shortly after I finished that job, we experienced a few life changes that took me away from voiceover. But now we’re relocated and ettled, and I just finished putting together my new booth and am starting to tweak it and audition again. I would really appreciate any feedback you can provide (full spectrum: booth sound; performance; diction, etc.) Looking forward to getting back at it, including participating on here again! Thanks for your feedback! T
Hi all. I posted a question over on the home studio forum under the “hardware and software recommendations” section. But I see now that it doesn’t look like anyone’s been in that section for months. If you have a chance to take a peek and have any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks. Toque.
Hi Shmuel. I really liked the second read (longer one – #3). Thought it was great all around. Your taking more time with that read really improved the listener’s ability to pick up on things like the product name, some of the technical terms, etc. Great job! Toque
Hi all. Another practice script from the Edge Library, seeking your input and feedback on any and all aspects of this read. Thanks! Toque
Script for MY First Games:
It’s laughing with her at the funny characters. Helping her learn to win, lose and take turns. That’s what MY First Games are all about. They take just a minute, but you’ll give her the most important thing of all…a part of yourself. MY First Games, by Hasbro, Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley.
Hi Querida. I’ll just comment on the recording quality. I’m hearing a steady hum in the recording. Not sure why that might be happening, but something I suggest you investigate. Toque
Hi Mara. Individually i felt these were each great reads! When I listened to all 3, I kind of felt like the overall tone might be a bit too similar among the 3 different recordings? Toque
Hi gabe. I’ve not had any narration training yet, just commercials, so take my feedback for what its worth. I think there are so many aspects that are great (volume recording levels, enunciation, etc.) One thing that did stand out for me was that, rather than the authoritative, “G*d’s stenographer”-type read I often hear, it felt like the read had a more “I’ve got a secret to tell you” kind of vibe. Not sure if that’s what you were going for? Also, the recording sounded a tad hollow/echo-y. Perhaps some more absorption treatment is required in your booth? Toque
