What doesn't kill you makes you zombie! :D

Of course, this won't work in an audio commercial, but I'll add it here in case it might generate a spark for someone...

Say hello to the new spokesman for Raydon Labs....

Added a few more call outs. \o/lo/

If someone who knows sound-stuff editing, this actually works pretty well in my mind. But, I bet the background would screw it up waaaay too much...

Dang. 35 seconds in my head.

I have a commercial currently being worked on, keep your ears open! I hope it fits!

Question: Is the 30 second time limit set in stone? Would a 40 second commercial disqualify a entry? or even a 31.5 second commercial?

5-10 seconds is a game changer when really trying to nail a line or two without it sounding rushed.
The script i have is written for 30 seconds but sounds much better paced to 38 seconds. If it the time limit is a hard 30 seconds we have some editing to do, if not we can start moving to the recording stage.

Hard 30 seconds for produced material.

If you are offering a written script we will judge because the writer's ideal of "reasonably acted out" vs. Britt and my reasonably acted out could be different. Even then, I don't want to exceed 33 seconds on that performance. If it ends up going over 34 it's definitely out.

We will do our reasonable best jobs to record the performances we have to act out a couple times and we'll take the best one.

I would love for someone to do an ad for Raydon Labs in the style of StrexCorp (from Welcome to Night Vale) .
