Revised demo... your thoughts? Barbs? Quips? Donations?

Scott Pollak

I just updated my primary demo this evening. Would welcome any and all suggestions, pats on the back, slaps across the face, smirks, help, monetary assistance... y'know. Wink

In the immortal words of Jon Lovitz: "Acting ... Brilliance!"

I really DID try to think of something snarky to say but, dang it, I just couldn't. You are a god (small "g"). I really like your delivery, very smooth ... like butta.

Great Demo...Flows well. I have been listening to different demos and yours has given me some really great ideas for my updated demo. By the way....Todd said I could get paid for these comments? Very Happy

... blah, blah ... it is in the commenting and the reply, repost, comment and re-reply that we ultimately gain our payment in full in the misty form of knowledge far, far greater than that which of therefore we speak in quiet tones among ourselves for if to when shout boisterously from the ... blah, blah ...

I wish my stuff sounded like that, but one day maybe I will.

The one thing I did notice was the ya instead of you on the down home folks....Was that intentional?

Hey Scott,

Great commercial demo - should net you some work.

Now to get picky (gotta nit-pick with the pros Wink

)...

You may want to consider splitting up the two "it" heavy spots (I counted 5 "it"s in a short span).
Also, I'd choose a more "final" spot for the end (kinda left me hanging).

Otherwise, first-rate, bang-up, take-that-to-the-bank demo...

Yours,
Picky Joe

Scott:
No surprise; the old pro knocked one out of the park: real, real nice demo.
I will officially stop mis-spelling your name as Pollack.
Based on that, I will take away the 'C' I assigned you and replace it with an 'A'.
So, Scott Pollaak is now #79 on my list of heroes.

But, as Joe sort of said, icing doesn't pay the rent, so I will add my admittedly curmodgeonly view that your overwhelming strength is Kind 'n Cozy, so I still don't see that car spot as being YOU enough to warrant the up-front slot. Maybe flip it with the winningly sweet sleighs?
But that's just me....
(By the way, you are one heak of a musiaian!)
Voice On!

Joe and Robert Jaaaddduh.... I DO appreciate the nits. That's exactly the kind of objective feedback I'm looking for to smooth the rough edges off the demo and will put your suggestions to work.
