Easter Sunday, Sunday, Sunday… Be There!

Apr 12th, 2008 | By Justin Kaiser | Category: Audio that's Creative!

Nothing like writing a script that conveys a point and then being told you’re too fluffy…  and don’t get to the point.  My question is do you want to illustrate with words which connote feelings and emotions or do you want a page read from a telephone book? 

So, you can paint the picture, or you can turn that picture into a car ad…  and he wants a page from a phone book… “The HAM MUST GO… TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE LAMB… ALL SALADS HAS BEEN DRASTICALLY
REDUCED!!!”

Ask yourself… does this sell the product?

Thanks Ray, Loren, Bob, and Big Daddy Steve for a fun time at the races…



Writing for the Talent

Apr 12th, 2008 | By Justin Kaiser | Category: Audio that's Creative!

Albert and Johnny recently had a discusson about the importance of, among many things, talent direction.  Albert has always been a strong supporter of giving solid character direction for talent.  And he explains…

“It helps the voice actor to better understand what you have on paper, and it helps ensure your commercial ends up the way the heard it in your head as you wrote it. There are exceptions. There are times when you don’t know what you want from a commercial. You have the ideas and sound effects in your head… but you only have words on the paper. This is when you trust the talent to give you what they see and hear when they read the words. It’s important to be able to interpret writing - particularly in these cases. And when the talent really understands how to decipher a script, they give you the performance you never knew was in your writing.  Attached is a classic example. I had the storyline. I just didn’t have sound…until I got the read back.”

Written by Albert, produced by Murdoch, and performed by Peter.. enjoy!

And enjoy another that was written and produced by Michael specifically for Peter to voice…

The 5 Second Adlet

Apr 12th, 2008 | By Justin Kaiser | Category: Audio that's Creative!

Just had a conversation with Ray and he said that he’s grown to really like the 5 second Adlet.  sed only for clients that are branded pretty well to begin with they can be effective and used correctly can kick major booty.  Clear Channel likes to take the credit for “inventing” these, but, I suspect, if you did a little research you’d find the just re-packaged it.
