UPDATED WITH PROPER LINKS

If anyone feels so inclined, I wouldn't mind some thoughts on my website and demo. The site was made by Kathy Osborne, and the demo was produced by Nancy Wolfson. Cheers!

Well, first things first, the link in the post doesn't work. It's not clickable.

Also, when I type www.davidgoldstein.com into a browser, I get nothing.

Edit: I see you just need to update your signature.

I agree with Todd. And the demo rocks, too. Of course... it's Wolfson-produced! Not to mention you're loaded with talent and that sought-after age voice. Sweet stuff.

Outstanding! Great reads, your style and personality are established from the first 5 seconds, it moves while still allowing the listener to "get" each spot, production that sounds broadcast real, believable and conversational, and it leaves the listener wanting to hear more.

Bravo!

"...a level of professionalism his mother is extremely proud of."

Might possibly be my favorite copy from any VO site.

The font for your name is great, too. A lot of black & blue websites out there but yours is very memorable for its play with texture and light.

Thanks, Mr. Blair. All credit for the font, and the entire look of the site, goes to Kathy Osborne.

i used to have something similar on my website, but my mother's attorney made me take it down.

I like the overall style! Simple and concise. Good job. Just from a nit picking standpoint, the audio player is a hair wonky looking on my screen. The marker dots that allow scrubbing and volume adjustment are not in the right place. It looks like the position of the handle is just a bit off.

This is on a Mac with the current Chrome and I also checked on Android 6.0 with CM Browser.

Nice job!

i see what you're talking about --- the "dot" is a bit higher than you expect it to be. i just thought that was a design choice.

Hi, David! Great stuff! Love the theme of the site, and you're reads are awesome!. Only two things:

1) like others have mentioned the play marker is just off center, a little higher than usual.

2) On my laptop at least, your "Contact Dave" button is chopped in half by the copyright banner on the bottom.

Love all of it. Great reads, sounds relevant, page style is attractively simple.

Good stuff!
