I enjoyed your read! I would say your tone was warm and comforting. Like listening to a bedtime story

Excellent read! Well done with the articulation and enunciation and good projection. Good job going back to the beginning of the line when you 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. 

Plosives can be hard to tame. Overall, I didn’t hear too many, so it sounds like you’ve got yourself set up pretty well. Having the microphone input pointed at your mouth but offset to one side maybe 20-30 degrees so you speak passed it and not directly into it can help reduce plosives, as can adding a pop filter if you don’t already have one.

Overall fantastic read. Keep up the great work!

    Thank you! I have been doing that for my plosives but I'll keep finding that sweet spot. And I'll definitely look into the declick plug-in. I didn't know that was a thing, I've just been editing the clicks out in my past projects.
