A

A feels more like how a normal person would be telling this story, B seems a bit too excited over it.

A

The voice of A's sounds much more pleasing and I feel is a little more expressive than B's.

A

Option A was very appealing to me because he had an interesting gravitas to his voice. I could instantly tell that he was a skilled narrator that would hold my attention. Option B was a good runner up but couldn’t hold my attention as well.

A

seemed clearer when speaking

A

OPTION A IS EASIER TO UNDERSTAND THAN OPTION B

A

his voice adds more flair, i like this one the best, adds more - DRAMA

A

I would go with option "A". The tone of the speaker sound more natural. His tone blends in well with the text.

A

The other speaker sounded like he had too much attitude and was having a bad day.

A

Of the two audio-book narrators, I prefer Choice A over B. I felt that Choice A was more fluid in their delivery, while still emphasizing the areas necessary, while flowing with the story. Choice B felt more abrupt and as though I was listening to lines of factual information, or related vs. an audiobook. The narrators tone was more pleasant in Choice A as well, easier to focus on and remain engaged.

A

i like the narrator in option A the most of these

A

I preferred the first voice in option A, because it sounded more like that of a classic narrator. If you wanted to be more edgy, or really unique, or seem more amateur go with B. But A seemed better to me.

A

I picked A as my top choice as the narrator sounds like he's very energetic when reading the story.

A

I like how the narrator sounds

A

The nature of the speakers voice in video A is much better and more soothing

A

A is better because the voice sounds much more conversational and natural. B is too much like a computer recording.

A

I chose A because, while both narrations are quite good, I felt that A matched with the text of the story a lot better. When I first heard the text I imagined a character with an even keel demeanor and a high level of education. When comparing the two narrations I felt that A captured my imagined character to a tee and that B just didn't fit the bill so to speak. Additionally, I thought that the narrator in A did a great job of bringing the characteristics of the character through.

A

Option A Audiobook Narrator is more appealing to me.

A

As a voice actor myself, I can easily tell A has a better, more natural cadence. B sounds a bit stilted.

A

I liked A more because the speech was more elegant and smooth. I felt like B was too arrogant and somewhat unevenly paced.

B

I THINK THIS VOICE IS MORE INTERESTING AND DOMINANT WHICH DRAWS ME TO IT MORE

B

Has a more natural sounded voice without an accent or overemphasis.

B

I prefer without the accent. B is more clear to me and easier for me to concentrate on every word.

B

Sounds like something maybe I would hear inaudible so I went by a criteria based on that kind of idea

B

I chose B because it sounds much natural instead of sounding forced.

B

I prefer the audiobook narrator in Choice B. I think this narrator has a commanding, deep voice which grabs my attention as a listener. That said, it isn't overbearing and I'd be able to close my eyes and relax while listening.

B

I liked the narrator’s lower, more steady voice in Option B. He sounds more authoritative, trustworthy, and in control than Option A’s narrator.

B

The voice in option B was much more dynamic and built up the occasion much much better than option A.

B

I liked this narrator a little more, they have a more natural sounding voice and their voice was more believable in reading this text.

B

This narrator is a lot more captivating, exciting and stimulating to listen to.

B

I prefer B as his manner of speaking is more engaging.

B

I like B because it seems to be speaking to you in a normal voice and tone. A sounds like a normal reader of an audiobook but they tend to be dry and doesn't change their level regardless of the action. I like my audiobooks with a tiny bit different tone and I think B has that. It sounds like he will get a little excited when needed and hit the mood that it calls for.

B

B sounded a bit more professional, but these two choices were very close and are hard to distinguish.

B

I really liked this narrator because he paused just at the right moment and gave energy and emotion for the words he was speaking.

B

I like both of them but this one is a bit mor eappealing and just generally better sounding. But theyre both good

B

Things voice is very deep but also extremely easy to understand

B

I chose Option B because this narrator sounds more down to earth and relatable. This narrator sounds more like a common person and to me that would make them more appealing and the narrator that I would want to listen to more.

B

The tone and enthusiasm in Option B was way more appealing to me. It sounded a lot more natural compared to Option A

B

I prefer Option B. The narrator has more emotion in their voice. The narrator in Option A was too boring.

B

I prefer B. The narrator is easier for me to understand and follow. As voice seems a little muffled and herder to follow

B

His voice sounds a bit more serious and fits the contents of what he was reading.

B

I prefer the personality in the Option B speaker; his enunciation is less polished and it sounds less like a traditional audiobook but that is why I like it. He sounds like a private detective.

B

He sounds more clear with his consonants and speaks at a much more appealing pace

B

This individual felt a little more dynamic in the way they delivered the words of the book.

B

B sounds more passionate and joyful, A sounds too plain and lack of energy

B

B seems more appropriate for the text read. A doesn't seem to be a suitable match, it's hard for me to put a word to it, but the best I can come up with is he sounds a bit sarcastic.

B

B sounds younger, more like my peers sound. Listening to his voice makes me feel like I'm listening to one of my friends telling a story. A sounds like a narrator from video games I played as a young teen. Not as relatable.

B

I choose B because the author sounds more human and expressive and genuine and relatable just like a normal person reading

B

The vocal performance is a little more engaging and less fratty in option B. The speaker sounds more down-to-earth.

B

B seems like hes more interested in the story, which brings you in. I prefer B

B

This narrator sounds more personal and I feel like he draws me into the story more. I feel like his narration is more of a conversation I am part of.

Survey Analysis

Winning Option: Characteristics and Appeal

  • Option B emerged as the preferred brand packaging design, securing 12 out of 15 votes. Respondents frequently highlighted its aesthetic appeal, emphasizing the luxurious and high-quality impression it conveys. The ability to stack packages was a notable practical advantage mentioned by participants.
  • Several respondents appreciated the monochrome color scheme of Option B, which they found less overwhelming compared to more colorful designs. This preference for simplicity suggests that minimalistic designs may resonate well with this group.
  • Additionally, environmental considerations played a role in favoring Option B; some participants noted its reduced plastic usage and recyclability as attractive features.

Key Topics Across Options

  1. Aesthetic Appeal: Across both options, aesthetics were crucial in influencing preferences. Participants often referred to colors and overall design quality when justifying their choices.

  2. Environmental Concerns: Both options had respondents who valued environmentally friendly aspects of packaging. However, while Option A was praised for being reusable and eco-friendly by some, others perceived Option B’s reduced plastic use as more sustainable.

  3. Practicality: Practical elements such as ease of stacking (Option B) or suitability for travel (Option B) were significant factors in decision-making processes.

Hypotheses for Further Testing

  • Investigate whether minimalistic designs consistently outperform colorful ones across different demographic groups or product categories.

  • Explore if environmental messaging on packaging significantly influences consumer preference when compared with other attributes like luxury perception or practicality.

  • Assess how important stacking capability is relative to other functional benefits in various contexts such as home storage versus travel convenience.

These hypotheses can guide further research into understanding deeper consumer motivations behind packaging preferences observed in this survey context.
