So, the overall quality is great. There are a few mouth noises and breaths that are quite distracting but we have compiled some tips on how to reduce mouth noises you may find to be useful. You can read it here: https://goo.gl/qcgpc8 For the breaths, it's a matter of editing. Try to pinpoint those breaths that are quite loud and edit them out making sure you add some fade in/out to avoid clipping.
Now, talking about editing, there are also some editing problems that should be addressed. For example, there's an audible cut when you're about to say "The journey hasn't been easy". Same in '...the industry into your home'. The word 'home' is cut abruptly and you can hear the clip there. Make sure you're editing the takes at spaces where you can, then, fade to make sure the flow of the take or integrity of the recording is not damaged. If you see that you can't edit the part easily, it's better for you to record the take again.
Listening to your recording, I feel that the pace rhythm is not completely engaging. Some pauses don't sound completely natural, and I lose the flow of the story.
This project is not as easy as it seems. There is a general idea of movie trailers, and we can all hear that profound and mysterious, LaFontaine, voice. But not all trailers have to be like that, and not everyone has that type of voice. Although you have a nice deep voice, probably a higher range would fit you better. It'll also help you to sound more natural you'll be able to bring out more your voice.
Hi Richard!
Sorry, but I don't quite understand this post! Can you let me know if you wanted to share something?
Thanks!
I accidentally messed with the drop box file, so it wasn't working.
I did this read (was playing around with a different take on it), but am looking for feedback on the read if you all could.
