Lovely read! If I were to ask for a second take, I would have liked to have seen you give the read with much higher energy like you were reading to children or talking about something that genuinely excited you! If you have the opportunity after this VA 101 class, I highly recommend taking VA 201 which goes through the emotional rollercoaster. It really helped me start making solid advancements in my voice acting journey. :)

0:50 Mispronounced “tortoise”

1:10 Missed word “of”

1:26 Read “done” instead of “made”

This style of read 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.

I felt that you did a really good job of practicing articulation and enunciation in your read. Being able to adjust the level of articulation in your read from very precise to normal everyday talking is an excellent tool to have in your voice acting toolbox. Keep practicing this skill as it will be an invaluable asset in voice acting as you continue along your journey.

Keep up the great work!
