Some years ago I was called down to Madison Avenue to audition for a voice over for a candy bar commercial.<\/p>\n
There was no script. <\/p>\n
All they wanted me to say was “Oooo!” “Ahhh” as many different ways as I could.
\nI didn’t get the job. <\/p>\n
And although I was a failure at expressions of delight, I managed to build a successful voice over career anyway.<\/p>\n
As you grow your voice over career, one thing you can count on is that you will rarely, if ever work without a script (also known as copy).<\/p>\n
But scripts can be frustrating little buggers.<\/p>\n
Sometimes they are formatted weirdly or the punctuation doesn’t make sense. <\/p>\n
Other times the English is just plain bad. But before you re-write a single word (I’ll explain why you should NEVER do this in the video)…<\/p>\n
