I think ya got yerself a winner there!
I realize we should try to find something to criticize, but you make it kinda tough to find anything. |

| Thanks, Don. I still sense that there is room for improvement, but as I'm sure you know we are often our own worst critics.... |

Rob,
I don't know if you produced this yourself or worked with someone else; so my suggestions may not be all that helpful.
The word "glass" in the phrase "The glass is always..." sounds a bit odd to me, like you slurred through the word.
Also, the phrasing of "Time Warner Digital" (I think that's the wording) sounds a bit odd; sort of like there was a line break in the copy between the words Time and Warner.
I think if you fix those two little items, you'll have an even better demo.

Thanks Bob. I can hear what you're referring to. Most of the demo, except for hospital spot, was done at a studio using a Neumann mic.
I could re-cut the spots in my own studio, using my Rodes NTK mic (which is not bad but not as nice as the Neumann) and using my production music, etc.
Actually with the Time-Warner spot I tried a little waveform surgery which seemed to help. With the "glass" pronunciation I'm not sure that anything can be done on the computer.
I have considered going back to the studio to recut the two takes. My dilemma is that I promised myself not to spend anymore $$$ on VO until I actually start making some money.
So as usual I am trying to find a happy medium between making the demo reasonably marketable and being overly perfectionistic about it. 
I have to watch it because sometimes I get so obsessed with making it perfect that it becomes hard to see the forest for the trees.
Most of you can probably relate. |
