“Talk one on one, natural quality, authentic, unpolished, conversational. No announcers please!” We’ve all seen these specs on commercials. Seems easy enough, right? We talk to people all day long . . . but there is conversational, and then there is commercial conversational. They are two different animals. In this class we will focus on techniques you can use to sound conversational and deliver bookable reads. We will also focus on how to self direct without losing the ability to tell the story. All levels welcome
