    Hi, John!

     

    Thanks for sharing your recording with us.

    I can hear a little bit of hiss and room echo in your recording. When you fade out to digital silence, the contrast makes it more noticeable. On one hand, try to reduce the level of hiss and get rid of that slap back. On the other, I think that you could achieve a more natural and fluent read. I think by the way you edited the file, it lost the natural fluidity. As it's a complete phrase, it'd help a lot if you left in some breaths. That will give a lot of character and humanity to the voice-over.

     

    Let me know what you think!

    Best, 

    Juan

    Hi John!

    I agree with Juan Santiago here. There's quite some hiss and echo in the recording. More hiss than echo actually so you may want to check where it can be coming from. 

    I also think the editing of the recording is quite unnatural. They sound like separate sentences rather than one whole idea. You may want to try leaving less space between the sentences if you don't feel comfortable leaving breaths (I usually don't leave them but keep the fluidity in the editing by leaving the pauses I would naturally make). 

    Hope this helped and let us listen to the file if you record it again :)

    John-

     

    I listened to your SWORD file.  You've got a nice resonant voice that sounds well suited for narration and commercials.  Keep it up!
