THANK YOU. I’d been reading some sample scripts and they were so badly written I was already thinking of how I could fix them. What a relief to hear your words about NOT using them:))

A someone who has his first commercial airing on the radio (I'm a super big deal! Haha!) I totally agree. The only thing I'd add is refrain from listening to them first as you're more likely to try to replicate the voice actor rather than do it your way. If you can find the copy without hearing it, you're much better off creating your own style.

Bill I've been following you on youtube for a number of years. This tip by far has been the most useful and has helped my voice over practice greatly. Keep up the great work!

Great analogy, Bill. Soccer ball and broom. I’m going to use this in conversations for many things.

I never really utilized the scripts you are referring to often... On occasion I would pull one up, after watching this, I went and looked at a few again. Wow, you could not be more right... Glad they were not my sole source of reference. And now I am addicted to ISPOT. :)

Hello Bill, great videos. Do you take out the product name for your demo with the real commercials, or can you leave it in?
