This just in…

After FaffCon I decided it was time. We just recorded this today.

Thoughts?

Perhaps you need someone higher up on the food-chain to comment on this one.

But, IMHO it is excellent! Very natural and believable performance. Nice variety as well.

Overall I like the sound. You know I'm a fan anyway.

I'm worried that the bed on cut two is a little dated sounding. I'd move that cut down the line anyway. I think you have better variety and show more depth further into the demo.

We, in the v/o world, can nit-pick a demo to death, but right up front I'll tell you I think your demo is superb. It was good enough that I wasn't ready for it to end. You sound great, and if you didn't actually do those major national spots I heard on there, you had me believing you did.

So, my one nit-pick: The tempo and pacing of the first three are pretty similar. I'd move the Coors spot or Charmin spot up to the #2 spot (no pun intended!) to provide a bit more variety in pacing and style early on.

But honestly, as it is, it's still killer. Great stuff.

Thanks! I was thinking of moving the Charmin spot further up as well.

Celia Siegel is guiding me on this as well, as 2014 seems to be my year to update my marketing! (my Faffcon rock from 2012…)

Love this! I agree with Chuck to slide #2 down a little bit.

Sounds great to me, Monk!
