Hey, Deby -- so happy you tried the Shakespeare. ( I'm standard now, so I missed out on it!!) Here's what I'd suggest. Good anger, but it doesn't build. It starts high and stays high. Very much on one note. And it sounds a bit too much like oratory and not like TALKING. This is the most difficult thing to do with Shakespeare's language. Just like the style of commercials has become more "natural" -- so has the performance of Shakespeare. So more of the character in it would improve it greatly. To do that, you must understand every word and reference in it. That involves some research.

But leave it up. It did not suck.

(Hope you're feeling better!!!)

Yeah, but then, James, you'll need to leave two days to recover.

I decided to try the casino / Bob the Dreamer. I didn't bother with effects this time.

Not too many quality leads lately -- as has been noted.
I just offered one for the chicken wings joint in Louisiana.

The yelp at the end Sid was a real nice touch....I liked it Sid.....nice energy almost reminded me of those CC pizza ads where the guy describes the chick as a delicate flower and then changes it to a hungry flower.....that's my kind of flower.

Thanks Deby. The "Yelp" at the end is actually on a track from my library....not me. I've had a lot of fun with that track with several of my clients.

Finally, one fun enough to attempt... The hard part was getting this done in an hour.

You went the same direction I did Travis.....tongue in cheek/over the top. Good job. As far as an "hour" goes....try having 5 to 8 spots everyday to produce....and they want them "NOW". I've got them down to just about that....one hour each & it's just me, nobody else here.
