I'm so glad you started this thread!!

I had trouble with "rivalry" and "amidst".... the latter was the tougher one.

"for our vocational nursing program."

Just shoot me.

"proliferation" and 'preponderance'...in the same script.

The other one today was 'predictive behavioral'

And...I've decided I dislike all words that begin with the letter 'p'.

Just remember what Pat Fraley said.....SMILE big for those "P's"! That was the best tip I got from VOICE 2007...

Hello, I'm Moe and I'm P Popper.

"I accepted a transfer from a Tree Trimmer to a Water Servicer job in the city."

I got it first take, but it's hard to say without sounding like a creepy muppet...hence the subsequent failed takes. Wink

Smiling solves everything, imo. You botched it? Try it with a smile...

So Kara if you dislike all words that start with the letter "P", I guess I should change my name then?

Dunno...words don't trip me up as much as silly phraseology does.

From a Thai restaurant radio ad of yesterday (at V123):
"....delicious steak from prime, well-hung beef. Cooked by a real chef."

And from a software producer last week (at TOS):
"How do you feel about your Parts Interface?"

I simply cannot get through stuff like that.

"....delicious steak from prime, well-hung beef. "

Is that from the ADULT section of the restaurant...behind the beads?

I'm just askin!

I'm voicing math courses for grade schoolers and came across "commutative property". Not that hard to say, but it looks like a bunch of other words I say all the time, and I've never had to say commutative, so the brain took a good four or five takes to let my mouth say it.

Next to last take I read it as "communist party" and tried to keep going, but the producer stopped me in my tracks. Oh well.
