FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
How many words can I
fit into a 30 second spot?
– The number of words that can fit into any radio commercial
depends mostly on the type of delivery. Some commercials should
be read slowly and seriously. Others require a quicker, more
exciting delivery. Before sending a commercial script to me,
it’s best to read it aloud and time yourself. If the message is
too long for the length of commercial you want, it’s time to
shave off a few words. If you have time left, you can add a few. On
average, I can usually do a hundred words per 30 seconds for an upbeat
commercial...and a few less words for a slower, more serious delivery.
I don’t know how to write a radio commercial. Will you help me?
– Yes, I will! Although "copywriting" is not included in the cost of
my service, I WILL clean up the wording and add or remove any content I
feel would make the commercial better. Just
add a note at the end of your already created script letting me know it's
"ok" to change the words around, if I feel it necessary.
Can you put background music and neat sounding laser effects into my spot?
- Not at this time, because I am trying to keep costs as low
as possible. I may provide those services in the future for a higher
cost, but, right now, we're just trying to create an affordable service
for those who CAN'T afford the "big city" voiceover artists with
all their bells & whistles. My
“voice only” digital audio is very noise-free and clean…and can be easily
edited into clips
from your own radio station’s production library.
Will you be my exclusive voice in my community?
- I can't guarantee anyone TOTALLY exclusive rights in any market, but I
WILL guarantee that I won't provide commercials for any competing
businesses in your market while you are actively using my services.
For example...I won't work for two furniture stores in the same
market...nor two auto dealers in the same market. I WILL, possibly,
provide service for NON-competing businesses in the same market, however.
So, to ensure that you don't hear my voice in your competitor's
commercials, just make sure you continue to use my service and purchase a
new set of commercials from me at least every month or so.
Is there anything you WON’T do?
– Yes. My Ultimate Boss is my Lord...and He doesn’t want me produce any work which would
conflict with my personal and Spiritual morals and beliefs. This includes,
but is not limited to, alcoholic beverage and bar
commercials, pornographic services, questionable language, etc. If you
suspect that any content in your copy might exceed my personal limits, feel
free to send it to me for pre-approval. (Don’t worry. I won’t preach to
you.)
Can I call you in the middle of the night?
- Yes you can! I just may not answer! I do check my voicemail first
thing in the morning…and also immediately after other periods of time I am
unable to immediately answer, such as driving down the highway, attending
meetings, when my phone battery runs down (oops!), when my kids demand
their full and undivided "Randy", etc. However, you should always feel
welcomed to call me at any time. You will certainly NOT be a bother to me!
I can't find your phone number or email address anywhere on the website!
- I normally use my cell phone for business purposes...and am trying,
despirately, to keep the number from the telemarketers' grips...and my
email from the spammers. (I'm sure you know how that is.) If
you are interested in my services, I am eager to release my cell number or
email address to you! Just use the handy
contact form, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!
