I want to send this off to Dan O'Day in the morning. I tried to incorporate everyone's extremely helpful suggestions, and I took a very-needed break from it so I could come back to it with fresher ears. You know the drill... Can you check it for some glaring misstep that I've failed to avoid? I'm a little sleep deprived from being Faffy's b*tch. Get Lost

Here it is.

IKEA!!!!
I especially love the opening element with the favorite pair of pants!
I love your sound just bunches. You are totally trustworthy, fun, believable, joyful and a leader I want to follow when I listen.

About the flow of things—I would consider changing up the order a bit.

After Pants, go to the Baby Animals game spot or the Ford Edge spot. The snippet right after the Pants spot seems to be in the same vocal range as the pants spot.

Also‚ see if you can keep your major department stores from showing up back-to-back.

That's my immediate impression after 2 listens!!!

If you REALLY want a demo critique I'll write one, but you don't. You want a demo to (a) get you work and (b) possibly open the door to an agent. The demo I've heard will do both.

There comes a time in the course of human events when you just have to set it and forget it. It's fine. Ship it.

I think you're right, Connie. I hear it now. I was just too close to it to hear the similarity. I'm fixing it now, and then I'm following the rest of y'all's good advice and calling this bread baked.

Thank you! Kiss

OMG! I was not kidding about being sleep-deprived! I called Deirdre "Connie"! LOLZ111!11!

And, somehow, I was so focused on the order changes that DB was suggesting, that I overlooked her very kind words. So, thank you and sorry and etc.!

I have Doesn't Process Compliments Well syndrome. Lame.

Anyway, thank yous and fresh bread all around! Embarrassed

We'll have to get together and have a taco once you can come up for air.

Love,
Connie

Connie is my pet name for Deirdre.

Apparently.
