Commercial Narration Mastery
What makes this program effective?
Commercial narration requires technical precision and interpretive skill. This program trains you to analyze scripts for subtext, pacing needs, and emotional tone before stepping into the booth.
Early sessions focus on cold reading techniques and sight-reading fluency. You will practice with actual commercial scripts ranging from 15-second spots to 90-second narratives.
Vocal Versatility
Different commercial formats demand different approaches. Automotive scripts often require authority and warmth, while pharmaceutical reads balance reassurance with legal precision.
You will record samples across eight commercial categories. Each category introduces specific challenges in tone, pacing, and emphasis that reflect current market demands.
Technical Execution
Home studio setup is covered including acoustic treatment basics and editing workflows. You will learn to self-direct and produce broadcast-ready files that meet technical specifications.
The final project involves recording a complete demo reel with professional editing. Industry standard practices for file delivery and client communication are integrated throughout the curriculum.
