Anne Ganguzza's Masterclasses
Conversational Commercial Read
Rate: 200 USD | Duration: 1 hour
In the VO market, there are many reasons why a conversational, real read works better to “sell” or inform about a product rather than the older, hard sell “announcer” style. We ask for the advice of our friends on what to buy - both in person and online.
We look at real testimonials from our peers for validation. Peer based marketing calls for a Peer based conversational read. Therefore, when a director, casting agent or producer asks you for a “Conversational” or “National” read, what they are really asking for is a believable read, one that sounds authentic and genuine.
In this class, you will learn:
- The melody of conversation
- Script analysis for context
- Creating the story
- Emotional phrasing and script markup
- Word emphasis
