I don't know what the kids are saying these days.
Most of my "slang terms" contain words that the corporate world frowns upon having in their internal videos / training. That's not to say it wouldn't make it far more entertaining to listen to ... _________________ * * * * * * * * * *

I must admit I had salacious fun reading Esquire and GQ magazines for a New York City radio station for the blind. No bowdlerizing* allowed. Let the freak words fly!

Sent the recordings, Slangy version and all.
They used the Non-Slang version and the customer was a happy camper _________________ www.scottsvoiceover.com - An American voice in Finland

Hi Bob,
I did ask when I sent the first recording but received no answer. This was going through a studio in Germany.
I created a slang text and recorded it as well. But then I thought they really wanted a more conversational version, and it seems that is what they wanted as the video has been produced already.
If the end client is happy then I am happy. _________________ www.scottsvoiceover.com - An American voice in Finland
