Hi Atperry – wow, very nice! So warm and rich, and it sounds like it is already a commercial I would hear on the radio. Very good genre for you!

Hi Toque! Good read. Your voice is very warm and smooth. This script feels like a call to action to me. As such, I think the first 4 lines should be strong and decisive, and with a little more intensity. The second part, starting with “unfortunately” is giving the audience a proposed solution to the case as stated in the first 4 lines. Overall good read!

Hi Michelle! Welcome! I like you voice – very nice and friendly and with good clarity. There seemed to be some unnecessary pauses in a couple of spots, but that’s a minor point. For me I typically have to read and re-read and get really familiar with the script, then when I record it flows a little better. Overall good job, keep it up!

Hi MrTripo9, good read! You have a nice warm, rich voice that seems good for this script. I would agree too in that some words were hard to understand, some of them for me were burials and genre.
I realize too this is for practice, but there were a couple of extra words (not typed at least) that were added into what you read. If this were a paying gig, the person who hired you might take offense to the script not being read exactly as written.
“but he made his living as Americas first literary critic and theoretician” was read as
“but he made his living as Americas first great literary critic and a theoretician
Otherwise good read!Mary
Hi Amitofu! Wow, really nice variation of reads with great production. Each segment showed a very nice sample of your voice and each segment had great emotion and authenticity. All of the segments seem really suited for your voice, and all of them sounded like they are already out there. Very good!

Thanks for the feedback Amitofu! I laughed out loud at your comment about me not actually going to Sears, I really am trying to work on sounding real and authentic, but I too realize that without meaning to I can sound a little sarcastic (?) It’s a fine balance for me in hitting the right words and having inflections, but also sounding authentic. I really have not been to Sears in many years, maybe that was in the back of my head too. lol
I too can hear the high pitch sound; my desktop tower has been recently located to be next to my desk vs. on the floor and I don’t yet have a mic or real equipment but will be working on that in the next few weeks. Good to know that the tower will need to be moved or relocated / soundproofed as part of the home studio setup.
Thanks again for the feedback! It’s all welcome in this learning curve we are all working on!
Mary
Thanks for the feedback MrTripo9! Glad it is starting to sound more real and maybe something that could be on the radio. Thanks again!
Mary
Thanks for the feedback Robert! I’m definitely working on getting it to flow naturally and more conversational. Thanks!

Hi Katelyn, really good reads for all! I agree with Robert, these reads are all spot on and your voice is well-suited for each of them. I could hear genuine interest in the topics, a nice smile in your voice, and a sense of liking to help others to learn. Really good work!
Mary
Hi Robert! Good read, although I like your natural accent too! This had a nice softer, calm tone. The last line of questions seemed a little rushed to me, just reading the script makes me think that the author would have wanted people to take a beat to think about those questions. Maybe not long pauses after each question, but tiny pauses, just my opinion. Very good!
