 Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 1:02 pm Post subject: What I did today |
 |
|
So, in my role as a manager at a dying radio group I've been very busy shutting the place down. Not much production to be done and very little time to do it. I actually got to produce two pieces today and thought I would share just for fun since I had fun doing them. It was a nice change of pace from the usual depressing office and engineering crap I've been doing lately.
Intro for a show airing tomorrow
Commercial that starts Monday

No wonder I haven't heard from you in a month and a half, B-man! You've been a busy busy beaver!

yeah.
He doesn't like it if I over emphasize it trying to get it right either, so I just try to be natural with it and he's happy. Originally that copy was 199 words. I got him to trim it to 180 but I still think it would have been a better read if it was slower, more relaxed like.

I've got three:
1. Environment. I'm hardwired to pronounce every syllable as written, while most people pronounce it more like "envierment." I've been practicing lately to try to hit a happy medium, because the more I hear the way I say it, the more annoying I have to admit it is.
2/3. Insure/ensure. For some reason I really lay on the "sh" in both of them. It's overkill, but I can't help it. Old habits die hard.

Of all the words in the English language that my wife likes to make fun of when I say them, "Coat" is a big one. She tells me that I sound like I have a British accent when I say the word coat. I've never noticed. She was laughing her ass off about it last night. I'm gonna have to fire up the microphone and let y'all be the judge.

I despise the word "actually"
I have to force myself to not pronounce it "ACKSHILLY"

"Drawing" Don't know why, but I always want to say, "drawling".

Around here, the word "DRAWING" is pronounced "DRORING" and the final consonant "R"s are so suppressed that the word DRAWER is actually spelled DRAW in copy I get.
Meh.

Do you suppose that's why you don't see many on store shelves? Too hard to say?

I once got the gig as spokesperson for a local cell-phone company simply because I could pronounce its name: Celluar One.
These word combos: Master's Degree, Massachusetts residents
They are--occasionally--my "crumb-crisp coating".
