I always pronounce FDIC as f-Dick. That saves a good third of a second right there.

(and it drives newbie copywriters or producers nuts as they try to explain to me how I should pronunce it) (sic)

Oh, and a little bit of heaven today...I did an ISDN session with 5 spec :30 TV VO's for an east coast power company, and they said "since they're not going to air we don't care how long they are...just relax and be conversational...take your time."

You don't hear that every day!

That's X10 more outrageous than the last one!
Not even going to attempt it.....
Did you do it, Deirdre?

Deirdre · Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 5:26 pm Post subject:

yeah-- but we had to eviscerate it.
And I still had to read like a maniac.

I've learned, though, that you can read the damnedest stuff and NOT sound like a weasel on meth if you keep your vocal timbre low and purposely limit your range.
Not a monotone-- but a read over fewer "notes" is a lot smoother and quicker.

That's a direction you hardly ever hear: "For this one, we'd like you to sound like a weasel on meth."

Hang on...let me give my ex-boyfriend some meth so I can know what that will sound like.

Tip your waitresses please! Perhaps a bit too much vitriol in my coffee this morning. Didn't mean to come off sounding nasty, just couldn't resist the cliche.
