Took me 3 tries without the mike on to say it smoothly once. Who knows how many it would take in an actual session? Possibly hundreds.

Well, it wasn't that tough. I did five takes without a mistake. Then, I thought about it.. and couldn't do the next take...
Added it to some other copy and just made it happen... although I am used to doing "tang-tunglers" like this with some of my more "creative" clients. I usually make them say it a few times - I like to see - er - hear if the client can actually say their own copy out loud.

it's the ad copy equivalent to harrison ford's quip to george lucas on the set of the first 'star wars' movie: "you can write this ****, george, but you sure can't SAY it!"

| Yesterday I was having trouble saying a line much like the trip rewards thing and the agency guy said, "Thank God I write these things and don't have to say them!" |

I think more people would actually hear Todd's way of saying it.

Yeah, all caps is the pits.
Today's mouthful was from the client
NEXT GENERATION CHILDREN'S CENTERS
Whoever wrote the copy referred to the plural of "curriculum" as "curriculums".
Someone get me a drink. Jeebus.

"veuillez vous munir du numéro de commande"
OK ...OK...I KNOW it's in French, but this is a bunch of words that really got my lips in a twist today!...it's all the slightly different "U" sound/pronunciation in several words right after the other...and also in the middle of a three phrase prompt!.
...of course NOW I can say it no problem!!!!!...like MCM said..thank goodness I'm in my own booth!!!
Go ahead Brett, just try it!!!
