VOICE ACTING This Last Line 'Trick' Can Lead To A Better Lasting Impression ... July 17, 2015 By Hugh Klitzke Casting Director and Coach Here’s a trick. (I really hate that notion - "a trick” but sometimes, it seems to fit…)
Here’s a technique. (Passably better, but still….) Okay - try this! When you read a spot (say, a TV commercial) and you are reading ahead, take your eyes off the paper as you come to the very last line. Look away from the last sentence - but keep reading. You’ll be surprised at how the ending changes from something pat, stock or predictable into something more. ---------------------- ABOUT HUGH Hugh P.
