Audition feedback
Specific problems found in your application: - The deliverable contains unnecessary silence at the beginning which was not instructed by the client.
- There is a distracting noise at 00:11
Feedback on the read would be appreciated too.

I retract that. It's now at 7sec (because of the intro cut). Don't know what it is but it's there. oh well.
Hi Adam,
Thank you for sharing your application with us.
Yes, right before "To know more..." there is a whistle that could be edited out.
Also, I would point out the room echo in your recording. Try to record in a place where the sound doesn't reflect that much. Having less reverberation will improve the clarity of your voice and the quality of your voice-over.
We invite you to visit our community page where you’ll find tips on acoustic treatment: https://goo.gl/vGqUIW
There you'll find additional information to help you achieve professional results.
Best,
Juan.
Thank you Juan,
Yes. Upon further scrutiny I found the sound. I am also taking steps to reduce the echo in my space.
If I may ask, what is your opinion of the read? Also, what is the time frame on being able to audition again?
Thank you again for the feedback.
Sincerely,
Adam
Hi, Adam!
Generally speaking, I like the read. I think it sounds professional. As a suggestion, I would encourage you to try a more friendly tone. I like the color of your voice, but it may be a little too serious.
What if you try a more natural and conversational tone?
Also, I think you can achieve a more natural rhythm. I feel you have a nice flow by idea, but towards the end I felt the deliverable was composed of individual sentences edited together, rather than a complete read.
Let me know what you think!
Best,
Juan.
Hi Juan,
I really appreciate the great feedback. I agree that my "Hello" was a bit stiff and the flow at the end could have been a little smoother to tie the last segments together. I found just lately, that if I give my audition pieces and few extra reads before recording it achieves more of that natural tone I need.
Do you have any idea when I would be invited to audition for Voice Bunny again?
Here is the link to my commercial demo if you are interested,

It can take this time due to all the requests we have in queue + the new applications we get every day. Your patience there is super appreciated :)
