Bruce

In the world of confusing directions on copy, I got this spec on an audition today:

Ha! I know which audition that was!!! I auditioned for the clerk! Smile

And you're right. When I was envisioning the delivery guy talking, it was with accent and all. It's even written that way, as I recall. Rough.

I was a little whelmed by the request fora Bronx guy with no accent.

What I loved best is his last line:
"Bon appetit, eh?"

Response to client - I'll do it internationally bland as long as you get someone at your end to put the audio through a Dialect Filter.

My slate was: "This is Bruce ...."

.... well heck, I might as well play it for you. I presume there's no law against it:

Bronx-Free Bronxing

I did the Bronx thing more with my eyes and gestures than my mouth. Hopefully they'll catch my intent.

And a fine kettle of fish that was.
