To my fellow voice talents,
I would appreciate some feedback/advice regarding my demo.
Thank you,
Daniel Wright

Not bad Daniel. It does show a range of voices but not a range within your voice. I'm guessing the first spot and the Geek Squad one is close to what you sound like. But in those, you try too hard to properly pronounce words that they sound a bit stilted and unnatural. You seem most at ease doing a character. You need to get that same vibe with your natural voice. And then, with some acting classes, bring out a range of emotions with that voice.

You definately have some abilities, but I would consider making a more direct Commercial demo and a seperate Character demo.
Good luck and keep working at it!

btw - Is that a Sterling ST-55?

Thank you for listening, James! That is very sound advice and I will follow it to the T.
Correct answer regarding the microphone; good eye!

Be well,
Daniel

Don't go following what I, or anyone else say to a T, Dan. There are no sure fire methods. What works for some might not work for others.
Read, listen and learn from so many of the more experienced pros here and in books and classes. Then decide what the best course of action is over time.

GL!
James
