Last December I had this one:
"Chemical coagulants and flocculants are an early and essential stage of treatment. The coagulant neutralizes the tiny colloidal particles suspended in the water, and the flocculant encourages them to stick together in large clumps called 'flocs'. The flocs then sink to the bottom and settle out in a process called sedimentation."
It became even more fun from there.

Looks like pretty typical, industrial stuff. Try narrating 100 pages of technical medical procedure copy sometime!
Remember, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger ...or something like that. |

now that I've finished the spot and am waiting on client approval, do you suppose a stout beer presumbably made from coffee tastes any good? I may have to go find out for myself.

Yeah... just another day slaving over a hot industrial mic! As long as we don't have to understand what we are saying we'll be fine!

I used to agree with the old adage, but now when I look at some of the copy I read day-in and day-out I just think ... oh tomorrow just might be the day when it finally gets me!
Perhaps it's just that if we're stronger to start with it takes us longer to 'go'. 
j/k
I love this industry |

That's a market I want to try to go for in the industrial sector. My degree in biology was concentrated in human anatomy and physiology, and postgrad with a lot of medical terminology...I figured not only knowing how most of the stuff's pronounced but actually having a decent understanding of of what the terms mean might give me an edge. Is there a good bit of work (i.e. decent money to be made) available in that area?
The nice thing about majoring in bio is you have to take lots of all the other sciences to get your degree, including chemistry and physics. That "flocculents" bit rolled off my tongue like water off a duck's back. Maybe that education can make itself useful finally. |

Supposedly there's a lot of work out there in medical narrations. I've got 3 degrees in bio so I market heavily on that - but although my very first gig, one year ago, was a medical narration, I have not had a single one since. I know they're out there, but for the life of me I can't get 'em to hire me. You might have much better luck though. |

You don't have to understand it all that well, really. You just have to sound like you know what you're talking about. As long as you can follow the basic structure of the sentences, it's actually not to difficult to manage the context. And that's really the key. Understanding the context of the copy. |
