Thanks for the feedback Robert! Glad that 1 and 3 sound ok and with a decent amount of tone variation. I will work on the volume, it’s one of my first recordings with a mic and interface and have a ways to go. Thanks!

Hi Darlene, thanks for the feedback! The Ancient Mysteries was a different sort of read for me and it sounds like it needs some work. Thanks for the note also about the volume, that is helpful. Thanks again!

Hi Touzet, really nice! I could picture myself hearing this on the radio as I was driving to Florida. Great laid back vibe and feel and production too – very good!

Hi Vincent, good reads! I like the tone of your voice and the pacing for both scripts, but I would not describe them as “compelling and uplifting”; you might try to vary up the tone throughout, and emphasize parts of it even more. This seems like a script in which you are trying to convey empathy towards your listeners, and you want them to know that you really understand how they feel in the world that is changing. Good work!
Mary
Hi Toque, nice read! I liked the directness of the read and how you emphasized “you” and “Protect”, Very good!
Mary
Hi Chas, really nice! I like the depth and richness of your voice – it sounds very well-suited for this one. Good energy and pacing on this one. Well done!
Mary
Hi all! Here are some practice scripts for any and all feedback. How do they sound? Which one do you like best for my voice? Is the tone right? Trying also to work on getting the correct recording levels. Thank you for listening and commenting!!!

Everybody can use a little help when they’re out on the road- and that’s where MailBoxes Etcetera comes in. We get it done, and we get it done right. Mailboxes Etcetera.Hi Maurizio, good read! I liked the energy you brought to this script. For the last “Sandals” the tone got really low and dropped off; I would suggest hitting that a little more to make the product you are selling stand out a bit more. Good job!
Mary
Hi Maurizio, good job on this! I too love your accent. Also “canary” should have an accent on the second syllable, or it sounds like a different word – “cannery”, simple fix on that. I liked the smile in your voice and the energy you brought it to. Good job!

Hi Burdahgirl! First of all, I hear you about getting the same note repeatedly from my coach (and others for that matter) – I feel your pain!!!!*?*! I do believe in this case that practice really can make perfect.
So my preference in these 3 reads is the last one. Lead-ins are helping me get to the appropriate tone and it seems like they are for you as well. I still think its great to use them and then just chop them off as needed for later 🙂 All 3 reads were nice, but the third one had a little more variation in tone and sounded very authentic in encouraging someone to take a trip on Amtrak. Really good job here!
