How About This One?

I'm still tinkering with my commercial demo too and need some feedback.

I need fresh ears. Mine are getting tired.

Todd,
Who am I to critique? I fell in love with the segment in the middle that had Al Green plaing on the radio in the backround. Wink

Your demo definately shows a wide range of your talent. Your voice is rich, deep, and very convincing. But ya really sold me on the Al Green part. IMO.

Thanks so much. My wife loved that one too. Very Happy

I very much enjoyed it, Todd.
Aside from your fine mahogany voice and solid delivery, I don't know why. I mean, it doesn't exactly follow the blueprint.
You have, what, only four clips there? And you went a cappela for a while. And there's no real Seize 'EM stuff.

But who says a demo has to be just this...or just that? The quintessential, unbeatable, irresistable demo hasn't been done yet.

But I liked this. It was eminently listenable.

Vaunt On!

I can live with "eminently listenable". There are 5 clips and I was trying to keep it around one minute. It clocks in at 1:07.

Thanks for the feedback, Robert.

Put me down for "eminently listenable" as well. I would definitely think about putting something in that GRABS the seeker. But I have to say that the quality of your voice, especially in that Al Green-backed segment is really something special. Sennheiser 416 on that one, perhaps?

Thanks!

I use an EV RE20 mic.

I have a few "grab ya" spots, but I'm not in love with any of them. I guess I'll go back to the drawing board tomorrow and maybe re-record one of them.

I appreciate the feedback and compliment very much. This is helping me.

Todd, you're the Sports South guy? I love that...you made me waste a few hours of my life watching Yokel. Smile

It's all good, and it's all kinda long for each piece methinks.

You watched Yokel? Very Happy

Cool.

That was a fun and decent paying gig, while it lasted. Turner South sold to Fox and they ditched everything. But, the show may pop up somewhere else in the near future. ssshhh.
