I thought that was really great! It came across really smooth and confident, as well as trustworthy. You articulated each word very clearly and the way you varied your pitch and tone kept it interesting. Recording quality was great. No extraneous noises. I don't have anything critical to say! Great job! xD
Very good quality and smooth delivery. Sound quality sounds great too. Well done Seth!
Your read was nicely done, but the energy level felt somewhat flat and didn't vary much, except for a brief moment during the "Come on in!" part. After that, it returned to a consistent level, which made the performance a bit predictable. The main area for improvement is your projection; currently, it's around a 4 or 5, but ideally, it should be closer to an 8 to ensure your voice fills a large space like a gym. Your setting plays a big role in your audition; if you're on a battlefield, then your performance needs to reflect that.
Adding a bit more of a smile to your delivery could naturally boost your energy and might even enhance your projection. A smile can change the tone of your voice, making it sound more engaging and enthusiastic. Although you come across as friendly, it doesn't fully seem like you're invested in the product you're discussing. Injecting more passion into your delivery would really make a difference, showing the audience that you believe in what you're talking about. The slower pace of your read is effective in making your words clear and understandable, which is great. Overall, this was a good performance, and with these adjustments, I'm looking forward to seeing how you evolve in your future assignments.
Very interesting! Listening back, I definitely hear what you mean. It's funny cause when I'm recording, in my head, I feel like I'm being loud and emotive, seems like I fell into a bit of a predictable pattern, like a "safe mode" haha! Very valuable feedback, thank you, Burger! I'll work on these points!
