How I read an ad
An ad has a few seconds to make someone trust it. I spent 21 years in theatre before I stepped up to a microphone, so I read a script the way an actor reads a scene: who am I talking to, what do I want them to do, and where does the line turn.
Then I give you choices. A warmer take, a drier take, one with a smile in it. You pick what fits the picture, and if a line needs another pass, we do it.
