Hey everyone,

I was wondering if any one knows of any free script or copy websites? Cause I need some material to read for a demo I going to be making at this recording studio soon.

Adam,

Though there are some places on the net to find free scripts, I'd recommend that you not use them for anything except practice. You don't want your demo to have the same scripts as 6000 other new voiceover talent, right?

Your best source for copy to use is to adapt things you'll find in magazine ads, and on television. DVR or videotape some TV and then transcribe those scripts, for example. But do not use the magazine or TV scripts verbatim. Adapt them enough that you avoid copyright issues and again so it doesn't sound like you're faking a commercial you didn't really do.

I hope these ideas help some.

Bravo to the Magazine Ad idea.

They're written by professional copywriters, so quite often they're going to be pretty good.

Bob is right on the money about recording and transcribing.
We've all done it!
