Great work with the read! I could tell you were working on projection and enunciation/articulation. I felt the projection was good for this exercise and that you also did well overall with the articulation and enunciation.

Be sure you are pronouncing all parts of the words including the last letters which are easy to “lose” when reading. When practicing articulation and enunciation it’s good to over-do it. Use the cork trick to practice like Burger showed in class. Even without it, over-articulate and be sure to clearly hit all the letters and parts of the word including the ending letters. Being able to clearly enunciate and articulate very well becomes a very useful tool in your voice acting toolbox to use or not to use as needed!

If you repeat the “P”, “T” and “D” sounds, note the placement of your tongue and mouth as you make them and use this knowledge as you practice articulation in your read. Play with the other script too, practicing the “B, G, and K” sounds. The tongue twisters will also help so keep having fun playing around with those as well. Continue working your SOVT exercises too to have better breath control and stamina. Vocal warmups help loosen the tongue and vocal cords and will make it easier to pronounce the words.

The read was a little choppy as you worked through the articulation and that’s okay. As you practice more and can more easily hit all of the letters in the words your read will also smooth out. 

For actual gigs and auditions, you’ll want to cut out the breath at the very beginning of your read. A good way to do this is to take your breath, pause a moment and hit record and proceed with the read. Or, if you’re already recording, take your breath and pause that moment before reading. This gives you room to edit it out later. Try to keep your beginning room tone to about 0.5 seconds or so.

Overall, keep up the great work!
