This is excellent – I’d just add one more formatting item: Please right-justify the text. Fully-justified copy is almost as difficult to read as all-caps, because one of the strengths of a long-form narrator is the ability to wrap his or her brain around a complete thought while talking, and varied spacing or unnatural gaps between words make that more difficult.

Many thanks for spreading the word. If I may add three more thoughts; two specifically for narration scripts:

1. When your narrator is on a roll, something that will keep it going is not having script pages break in the middle of sentences. Preferably, it’s best to break pages between paragraphs (or slides), to keep the entire thought together.

2. Numbering pages can be a big help, too; especially for longer scripts. In the extreme, there’s nothing so scary as having dropped a script and being unable to put the pages back in the right order. At the minimum, page numbers help a lot if the narrator is going to be asked to return to a particular spot to do pickups.

3. Voice talent love what we do, and we are bent on giving our ‘all’ for our clients. While we realize there are often last-minute changes, the sooner we can get a script after booking, the better prepared we can be to deliver our best when the session rolls around.

Thanks!

Comment on Who's that Voice? The GEICO Pothole commercial by Jeffie

One thing about VO’s that it is the irritating one that you remember. My least favorite,( but I remember the spot), is the fellow on many Sirius/XM ones. “Are you an Inventor, or do you know an inventor?” I hate him but remember the company.

And just so y’all know…I’ve never made a penny doing V.O, except what the Government paid me.
