Full details of homework is on Closing Credits
Caught a cold last night so this is really not my best :,)
It may not be your best, but had you not told us I wouldn't have guessed. :) Good job!
No apologies needed! A fun and highly enjoyable read even if you were cold-ridden. Probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned as you were only really just a little nasaly. You've got a great natural cuteness to your voice! A powerful asset in character work. Great work here!
I imagine you were treating your voice gently as for the projection you sat at around 4/10 good for a speech to a small team but easily lost in a large crowd. You did dial it up for those "come on in!" s that I appreciated.
Something that you did very well was stopping your read when you made a mistake and going back up the script to re-take a line. Excepting the final flub near the end of "combination key ring" you handled it perfectly. It sound like you just got a little flustered at the end of the script but it's just as important there to take that extra time and reset. Shake off the nerves, and finish strong! You also rushed through that section pretty fast in general, making it harder to find a spot that would have made sense to pick up from. In this case, I probably would recommend taking the entire line from "we'll include an extra..."
Pacing overall was quite nice throughout if a touch fast. There was a little bit of tension in the read whenever you started to go a little faster that could benefit from take a nice pause and big breath and giving yourself the moment to read ahead and slow down a bit more.
All in all, a very enjoyable and loveable read here Carly! Heal up that voice so we can hear ya project something fierce! I'll be waiting for it!
