Firstly, it's important to clarify the pronunciation of "BEAR-IT" as opposed to "Bur-Ray," so make sure to keep that in mind for future reference. Moving on, your pronunciation with the BGK consonants was pretty good overall. Now, let's discuss some areas for improvement. While it's great that you left in some stumbles in your recording, it's essential to aim for a smoother flow in your performance. To achieve this, familiarize yourself thoroughly with the script before recording. Think of these scripts as opportunities to engage in a conversation rather than merely reading lines. Inject more of your personality and enthusiasm into the performance. Consider adding physicality to your read by incorporating gestures or movements that match the script's context. This can make your performance more engaging and dynamic. Additionally, think about how people naturally communicate in everyday life: we pause, vary our tempo, and use different tones and inflections. Try to mimic these natural conversational elements to create a more relatable and authentic performance. Lastly, when it comes to the zombie noise or any other sound effects, don't be afraid to go all out and get a bit silly with it. These reads are an opportunity to have fun and let loose in your voice acting. Remember, enjoyment and enthusiasm often shine through in your performance. Keep up the good work, and don't forget to have fun with your voice acting endeavors!
