Okay, well for the heck of it, here's a spot I finished up on Friday that will begin running here in Atlanta this week. The original spot wasn't 'high energy' enough for the client and they wanted me even MORE up. This is about as "UP" as I get, folks....

Boy Scott...that was pretty 'UP' all right...I liked it, sounded like you really meant it...
Are we really into Christmas stuff already? santa claus

yikes!

Scott, your read reminds me of ads I have heard for Time Life. When I first came to the States I purchased way too much stuff due to the Voicers ability to draw me in. This read had the same effect and now I'm searching through my christmas movies looking for White Christmas.

Great read!

Wow....! Thanks so much Marilyn and Lynne! I so seldom do high-energy spots that I guess I don't have much confidence in being able to do them well. But what great feedback to get from you all. Thanks for making my day!

Holy Cow!! I'm bouncing off the walls after listening to this Scott! I really like it when you're "UP!" It's quite different from your usual stuff and you did it really, really, well.

Very nice spot!

Wow again, everyone. I'm honestly stunned. I so seldom do this type of spot. Maybe I need to start re-thinking my approach! You have all just made my day. And I needed it. I just got a call from my bank that apparently someone now has my S.S. # and other info and was trying to fraudulently transfer $7200 from my account to theirs! I've spent all afternoon on the phone with the bank and with Equifax setting up fraud alerts and monitoring. But it was a real high to come back and read these comments. Thank you!!!

Wish I had something to post here on Reads and Leads, but Smartcast sent me only one Delete today.

I was busy anyway, though; almost made $7200 in a voice-related effort.

Vice On!

Rob't, you crack me up!
Scott, sorry about your woes... Sad

hope you get it worked out...banks are pretty good about identity theft issues these days...they'll catch Rob't, throw him in jail and there will be more work for you! Very Happy

ROFL!!!!
Robert... you never fail to make me literally laff out loud.
So sorry your scheme didn't quite work out.

Roberrrrrrt!! Where do you come UP with these hilarious, witty, combacks! You absolutely crack me up!

And Scott, at least you have $7200.00 to be worried about! Wish we could all be so lucky! wink und grin

Hope it all works out for you ~

sorry Scott... I did love your spot though, I've no idea why you lack confidence, you rock! I want to see White Christmas now! elchgrin

Well, since no one else seems to want to play today....

Back to what I feel like I do best.
Here's what the client said they wanted:
"Read needs to be very conversational, very real."

It's a Billy Graham Canadian ministries thing and they posted 3 different leads, all wanting the same type of delivery. This is my take on one of them.

NOTE: submitted dry. MUX added just for this forum.

Scott,

I thought the energy you lent to the White Christmas read was exactly situation-appropriate. Nice job.
