Not in critique because I think the only thing that may change is I may swap something out for a bit with a few words in Spanish. Once I do that then I'll put them in critique for comparison. Otherwise, I'm really happy with this.

...I mean feel free to critique if you'd like but I probably won't change anything.

...Did that sentence come off as bad as it reads? lol! You guys know what I mean. (Or is that as badly as it reads?)

I probably need an emoticon there or something....

Works for me... I was thinking you should do the whole thing again in Spanish... but then I thought how well that suggestion might be received, and decided to prevent excessive bruising and agree that a couple of words or phases would be enough to let the listener know of your bilingual capabilities Smile

Seriously Mel, one of the reasons I love your voice is because it's recognizably you. Mainstream messages without being at all generic (if that makes sense). This showcases it well.

I love the fact that your signature sound comes through very clearly, with some really nice variations on the theme. It shows a wonderful range within that signature, so overall, I think it's a real winner.

No idea who suggested adding a bit o' español to the mix, but it's genius! Wink

I really think it'd make sense to add at least a line of Spanish, so folks can hear how effortlessly you can trasnsition between the two languages, and to show off your fluency.

The 0.5 second pause in clip two which should really be placed 5th out of 6 in only 8 must be moved and extended as it will be bracketed by the other two you should move from the present outer points inwards. Tone, mood and style is very 80's whereas the market now is looking for style, tone, edge, style, mood, style and style; you captivise 8 out of the 7 KPIs well. The run up to the beginning of the commencement prepared me for the start which then led me throughout the entire whole of the demo which was crafted to end just after it stopped.

I could discuss which cut I think should go first and nothing else, but I won't. Very nice indeed!

Thank you. I replaced it with one with a line of Spanish so I think the link goes there now. It's kind of a joke too if you understand the language.

Kafer you can put it whereever you want to Gasp
