Love the clarity of the words!!

Your tone and articulation I thought were great! I felt like your were holding back though; it felt like an intimate setting as opposed to a gymnasium full of people. I think you could go bigger, but that's my opinion of course.

Great read! I could definitely picture you in commercials, e-learning and corporate reads, etc. 

0:15 Read “guarantee” instead of “guaranteed” - be sure to fully pronounce the words including the ending sounds.

0:33 Read “entrée” as “entry”. 

1:12 Good use of change-ups for the repeated words.

For the purpose of this homework to work on projection, I feel like there was room to go even further. Practice projecting even more such as with the scenario of being in a gym or large auditorium with no microphone and you need your voice to be heard in every single corner of the room. Engage with your diaphragm and take in a big, deep breath to fill up your lungs so that you have the power to push your voice out even further. 

The first half felt kind of matter of fact like you weren’t sure who you were talking to and like it was just reading the words, but the second half felt a little warmer and more conversational. 

Nice work with pausing when you made a mistake and going back to a good point of pause to start recording again. This makes editing easier later. The only word of caution I’d like to offer you in this regard is that, when you had to make repeated attempts on a line, you started losing clarity in the pronunciation of the words or rushed through them, or changed your tone/attitude/pace from the way you read it originally. Try to keep the same tone, pace and clarity when you re-read the lines to ensure that when you edit out the mistake it will sound like you never made a mistake.

Staying well hydrated will help to reduce mouth clicks during recording. A good rule of thumb is to hydrate well a couple of hours before recording and drink water in between as you’re recording to stay hydrated. 

As you progress with voice acting, investing in the RX series mouth declick plug-in is a very useful and worthwhile tool to have at your disposal to help keep the recording as clean as possible. 

Work on increasing your stamina with the SOVT exercises to help reduce noticeable breaths during the read. 

Overall, very nicely done! Keep up the great work!
