Imaging Demo - Fire at Will!

Not the most original material I know. Was working with current station positioning statements. Feedback appreciated.
Cheers!

I kept thinking I was hearing Clint Eastwood doing this.

I'm about the farthest thing from an imaging critic you could want, so please take my comments with a very large block of salt.

It wasn't until the "Spirit in the Sky" piece that I heard ANY variation whatsoever. But even then, none of this grabbed me. For starters, your voice has absolutely no punch whatsoever. It's just so sleepy sounding that instead of making me excited about the station, it makes me want to yawn. And in terms of what I've heard on these threads from some of the true imaging gurus out there (and trust me, I ain't one of them!), the production elements in this falls waaaaaaaay short of what it takes to compete nowdays.

What I kept thinking when I listened was this: "This would be an okay imaging piece done by some really small-market station that they made for themselves; something that wouldn't embarrass them." But in the realm of competing with the power-imagers that are out there, this just falls flat IMO.

Again, this is but ONE person's opinion, so wait and see what the general populace here has to say.

Scott S - I thought the imaging demo was pretty good, especially the Star stuff. The imaging voicing and producing field is VERY competitive and "pretty good" won't make you a lot of money.

I'd like to hear your "Star" voice doing some commercials. That might be a good signature sound for you.

Scott P has great ears and he will tell you what you NEED to hear.
And, he''s right. But, you do have some skills. Let's hear a commercial demo! Not many good imaging gigs pop up here.
