ParticipantReally enjoyed the voice characterizations. Overall, the pace and delivery were fast for me, therefore I missed some dialogue. Cudos on reading multiple characters.

ParticipantYou have a good way of using a different voice. But feels like your not leaving enough space between sentences.

ParticipantI really like this one! You sound like an all knowing oracle or genie coming to me about changing the past, haha. Very smooth and it drew me in!

ParticipantYou connected and related to the Six Flags and Milk ads. Milk was the most conversational, Nice.
Six Flags The diversity in your list of “no” was nice and I laughed at your delivery of you cannot paint the cat. Think about the Yes and how it makes you feel to finally get what you want.
JC Penney…My right creative brain sounds different from My left analytical brain. May be fun to try a bit of characterization between them and see what happens.

ParticipantBuilding Management read. The pace was fast for me, missing some of the instructions. Imagine that you are in the building, and as part of your job you cannot leave until everyone else is evacuated. Try conveying the instructions with authority, with a sense of urgency but calm. The real goal is to be clear and concise. You need the people to understand the instructions so you can leave.
You took me to the Caribbean in the Sandals spot. Nice read.

ParticipantNot bad! I feel like you were slurring your words together, and could use a bit more energy in your reads. But, despite that, I felt like your reading was pretty clear!

ParticipantHello everyone. I’m Robert, and I would appreciate your feedback on these readings. I am working on them as I move towards making my demo. Please note that they were recorded with my phone. I am in the process of creating a studio but have not set that up yet. Thanks in advance for your input.

ParticipantOk, going to try this again. After my first attempt to upload it said that I wasn’t allowed to upload this type of file. Not sure what to do about that. I would appreciate your feedback on my reading of these pieces. Please note that I used my phone to do this. I have not created a home studio yet.

ParticipantRobert, Sorry you are having a problem uploading your file. Call your education advisor on Monday. I tried to send a file from my phone which sent over as an m4a to my email. Searched around to see if I could save it to another format but it wouldn’t let me. Looking forward to hearing your reads.

ParticipantOk, I got a file converter link from Kendra in the education department so I will try this again. I am uploading three examples of things I am working on in preparation for my demo. Each was recorded on my phone, as I have not yet created a studio at home. I welcome your feedback on what you hear. Thanks in advance.

ParticipantRobert, these demos are pretty good! Your enunciation is good, your voice calming, laid back. Love the playful energy in the volcano demo lol! Are you using any sound deadening material in your recording area? Sounds like there is some extra reverb that diminishes the natural quality of your voice.

ParticipantSesame-Place: Sounds really good and your tone seems to match with this type of genre, too, Disney, Nickelodeon, etc.

ParticipantI really like the ziploc one! You have lots of energy. Maybe it was a little fast, and I think the energy you bring, while fun, doesn’t quite fit the Purina one. But maybe that’s just me!

ParticipantYour reading is clear and precise! I think there could be more variation in the way you read sentences, however. It sounded like it was bordering on a monotone voice. But, I like it so far!

ParticipantHi Wes,
You certainly have a voice that can do this work. Your diction is good, and I think these are good pieces to work on. The one thing I would say is that you should have more fun as you read. I’d like to hear more variety from you. My coach gave me two pointers that I hope might help you.
1. A specific actor is a booking actor. ~ I would suggest working more contrasts into the readings. What excites or moves you more than another part? Who are you talking to, and when are you speaking to them?
2. Please think of the script as a short story with a beginning/middle/end. Look for the “beats” in the copy. ~ feel free to make this into a mini performance.
Keep looking up! I hope this helps.

ParticipantHi iSynge,
First of all, I like what I hear regarding the tone of your voice and your diction.
Regarding the Ottos piece the one thing I might suggest is that with the initial part you might dig into the frustration a little bit so it contrasts more with the satisfaction you feel after the experience of working with Ottos.
My thoughts about Lenders is similar, in that I would like to hear a little more NY attitude/confidence when you say that as a NY’er you know about bagels.
I hope this helps. I didn’t hear major problems at all.

ParticipantThank you for the feedback!
I will say regarding the Lenders one that I was actually second-guessing myself a little, because despite the content of the script…I’m not actually a New Yorker? So it was a little awkward to think about.
I did want to ask about something I’ve been hearing a lot about from my coach recently – did it sound like I was ‘reading’ too much, rather than talking? I’m trying to work on that.

ParticipantHey iSynge,
Nice demos. Ottos was spot on and clean. Lenders had good enunciation, but I didn’t buy your voice as New Yorker 😉 Also, Lenders was pretty noisy at the beginning. Good luck
