Really nice energy you brought to the first paragraph! When you’re having fun, it comes through in the recording and likely your audience will enjoy listening to it too!
This is a great character for you. I’d make notes about this character - the style, where the voice sits, name the character, etc. and add it to your list of characters you can draw from for other projects. It helps to have them written down for easy reference at a future date. You may even want to add/save a sample audio file of this character speaking so you can easily refer back to it. It’s a great unique character, yet reminiscent of some other great unique voices in the acting and voice acting industry.
Try to cut down the silence at the beginning to about 0.5 seconds.
0:55 missed a line: “Silvianis receives the set but Vacanti is already in position!”
1:18, 1:25 When you misread, stumble a little, or hit an odd pace or breath (happens to everyone and it’s okay!), it’s highly encouraged to start again at the beginning of the sentence or paragraph or a point that would make it easy to remove and replace the mistake during editing. If you just keep going and don’t return to a solid point that makes it easy to edit out the mistake, you may need to come back later and re-record, and it becomes challenging to make it sound the same as the original recording. So, a good rule of thumb is to record so that it’s easy to edit later.
1:41, I don’t hear the first “s” in “Rasmussen”
1:47 missed word “a”
To take it to the next level, think about how fast things happen in sports in real time. Imagine the scene playing out in your mind - you are seeing all these actions and then you are reacting to them naturally while quickly explaining it to your audience.
Lastly, per Burger’s request in the homework: Who was the audience you were speaking to?
Well done! Keep up the good work!
Excellent notes, I will keep these in mind. I like this character a lot and I feel it's one that I could do improv for.
For the audience, I imagined the a radio broadcast of a sporting event-- so people who wanted a visual picture of the event but only had audio.
I like you dragging out your words as if you're expecting your voice to be filling and echoing around an arena. Makes it more believable. I agree this could be developed into a great character for you.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
