    Graceson- First of all, I would say the sound of your voice is very nice and easy to listen to. Your pace is very consistent throughout. To make this sound more conversational and natural you might try varying your pace, possibly talking more quickly in some spots. I totally understand what you are saying about understanding what the read is asking for. I feel like I know this too, but then when I listen sometimes I have missed the mark. I know with more listening and practicing we will both get better at this. 🙂

      Thank you first of all! I will try varying my pace that seems like a good idea. Hitting the mark must be a learned art itself.

      Tone was good! It was an engaging read honestly. As for pace I would slow it down just a tad overall but still a good read.

    Good afternoon folks! Just posting another on, seeking feedback on all aspects. This one was kind of a docu-promo for a sport called “Skijor” – basically skiing behind a horse, with a twist to promote Magnum truck racks. The only direction was “real person, believable, conversational”. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and feedback on any and aspects of the read. T

      Voice and tone sound really good though not sure if it would be considered “conversational”, but I’m not an expert. I would say “Meet Owen Larue” could be used with a different inflection perhaps? Again, I’m not an expert so it could be perfect for all I know.

    Did this recording on my desktop so no home studio going on just yet. So, creative feedback only. Thank you!

      You’ve got a wonderful voice! I would say to focus on being nice and smooth throughout the read. It helps to kinda look a head a few words while you read so you don’t get all tripped up. Another thing is try and incorporate some tone while you read. Pick an way you want the read to sound and really try and bring it to life. You’ve got the voice man. Good luck!

      Hello. Great voice, cbadloc! I would consider taking out the pauses bt “delivers” and “great,” “seafood” and “and,” “nuggets” and “in,” and “box” and “for.” They make it difficult to track the content and context of the message.

      You sound naturally talented, so these minor suggestions should be easy for you to implement if you feel like they would be helpful.

      great job!

      I thought your tone was perfect for the John Deere ad and sounded pretty darn good to me. I would say the same tone maybe doesn’t work as well for the cool FM ad but still sounds good. Both ads sound really good but voice/tone works better for the JDeere ad is my point.

      Hey cbadloc great energy and pacing. I would say just give a little more veriation in the list of benefits.

      cbadloc, great tone nice voice! a couple things: I hear the finishing “g” on both “commuting” and “running” but you take a more casual (southern?) approach with “pickin’ up groceries” and “enjoyin’ a ride.” For me the two different approaches conflict – maybe stick to one or the other with the pronounced, ending ‘g” being my preference. Also, take a listen to “anintagraded battery” and “annafully…” I can’t quite hear the distinction between the words.
      I can see this read going in more than on direction…e.g., casual, entertainment/excercise to an individual adult and a serious business pitch to a city/municipality to perhaps sign on a for a full contract for their). Perfect pace on the read. really nice sound!

      Artist 7. I thought Pam for Grilling was a great read. Good Tone, nice energy. Sesame place was a good read but a little tense. Thought the read could be a little more relaxed, maybe a tad slower.

      Artist 7 – great high energy for both. Pam: good tone. great articulation. good ob on delivery!! Sesame was a little rushed for me. There is a lot to pack in there with the rides and the furries and the splashes and roller coasters and the …. (!) but I think maybe taking it down on pace slightly and relaxing the predictable up and down peaks and valleys in pitch, might serve the piece well. on the flip side, all of that energy really allows dme to envision the park and put me in the midst of the splashing water and the fuzzy characters.
