And now for something really different!
It's a demo specific to automobile advertising. What do you think? Go ahead--kick the tires. And thanks.

Very snazzy for sure Diane. I would hire you if I did more car commercials. Top notch voice quality.

Diane,

Ben is right. You have a very nice voice. Personally I think a couple of spots from just after the mid-point show off that voice better. Were it me, I'd drop the "weather sponsor spots" because I don't think they add anything valuable.

If you want to start with something up-tempo, begin with the stop at :44, the Nissan Titan. Follow with the next spot, which shows off your ability to deliver something much more personal. I do like they way you end. Nice disclaimer!

The other thing I think you need to work on, especially in your more "up" spots is the "radio announcer" voice. If you include too many spots with that sound, you risk leaving a somewhat "small market" impression. Based on other stuff here, I think you're better than that.

Diane - You get the message across clearly and cleanly, you are easy to understand, your style is engaging, if I am the listener you hold my attention and I "get" the message. If I am the client, I am very pleased to have you voice my spot.

In terms of the demo construction - apart from your performance - I think perhaps the mix is a little off. Bob's comments make sense, maybe drop a couple of things and channge the order of some others. If you can contrast a sample of the heavy hitter, in your face car spot with friendly, coaxing soft sell you could enhance your demo a bit and show that you have the range. Doing so may broaden your appeal and pick up some work from both ends of the spectrum - Beat 'em Up Auto Sales as well as Fred's Friendly Motors.
