What would really happen if the really competence met true talent?

Hmmmmm

When I click the link, nothing happens.

I just get a blank browser screen.

Hi Courvo...

If you're on a PC, you have to wait until the entire file downloads - then it will play.

I can't tell you how many times I've done sessions in LA which went EXACTLY, like this one.

This scene usually continues, with the direction something like "Could you do it a little more laid-back, but with more energy?"

"By the way, the VO's running about ten-seconds over the 30 seconds it's supposed to be, so we need to speed it up a bit - but be careful - we don't want it to sound rushed."

My favourite after a long winded piece of direction is to say.

"Could you run that by me again, only this time with the talkback off?"

"You nailed it Dave. That's exactly what I wanted. Man, I can't believe it... that was perfect! Uh, now could we do a couple more like it, you know, just for insurance?"

OMG, that looks all too familiar to me...from both sides of the glass! Very funny, in a sad kind of way. Thanks for posting that.

And it was nice to see they didn't lose their focus on the ultimate goal of the session: where to order lunch.

The worst one ever like that for me was a director who said "can you give it to me more blue?"

Nothing soulful at all about the copy -- was for cheetos or something....

WTH??
