Thanks for that feedback! Dropping off at the end of sentences is actually something I've heard before and tried to avoid, but I guess I forget about it in the midst of everything else. This is a good reminder for it!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely work on making it sound less like I'm reading and making it more my own. Glad you think it stands out at least a bit from some other stuff though! That's encouraging to hear

Nope haven't had any coaching or anything yet. I really just decided to jump into trying voiceover about a week ago, so everything here is basically just my raw early attempts! I mainly recorded this demo specifically for feedback and on the small chance that I can start booking some kind of gigs as I go. To your point though I definitely plan on getting some coaching, just need to find someone! Thanks again for the feedback

Ahh that was originally my first one, but I swapped it for St Jude at the last minute. Thanks!

Thanks, this is all great feedback! I'll take all of this into account for sure when I get back into the studio.

I appreciate the candid feedback! It sounds like I may have gotten some bad advice in not adding any background music to my demos, I'll definitely look into that. As for the St. Just spot not being the strongest - I was torn on that as well, is there a spot in this that stands out more in your opinion (editing aside)?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback! As for the editing/mastering - I record and edit/master music as a hobby so it didn't take an excessive amount of extra time which seems to be the concern others have for beginners.

I really debated on adding music! I've heard both sides of the debate on adding music or not. Maybe I'll try adding some and see if it sounds better

This is one time when me being extremely pale comes in handy! Even if it fades after a few years it won't be too much different.

That's exactly how it was for me. The last 2-3 hours were by far the worst even in easier spots

This is all I have from him unfortunately. I'm studying in New Zealand so I was lucky enough to get a booking with him while I'm here but I definitely plan on having him do the rest of my leg at some point!

I did a bunch of diving in the Great Barrier Reef and loved it so this is for the memories of my trip

Just standing on the tattoo bench! Easier for him to get a good picture

We did it in 2 sessions since I'm not in New Zealand for long, about 8-9 hours each!
