The script
It's six a.m. The street's still quiet. But inside Hollis Street Bakery, the first loaves just came out of the oven.
Warm sourdough. Cinnamon knots. Coffee that's actually hot.
Hollis Street Bakery. Come early. The door's already open.

Practise it now
The teleprompter scrolls at the speed you set in words per minute. Tick "Record audio while reading" to capture a take; the audio stays in your browser until you download it.
Coaching notes
- Let 'still quiet' actually be quiet. Drop your volume a notch so the reveal on 'But inside' feels like opening a warm door.
- Give the list 'Warm sourdough. Cinnamon knots. Coffee that's actually hot.' three different colors. The smile lives on 'actually.'
- Land 'The door's already open' as an invitation, not a sign-off: a touch slower, with a smile the listener can hear.
Try it three more ways
- Read it as the baker herself, flour on her apron, proud but a little shy about being on the radio.
- Read it as a sleepy early riser who perks up the second they smell the bread.
- Read it as a bright, upbeat drive-time spot for commuters stuck in traffic.
