Coaching notes
- Say 'Lantern 101.9' as 'one-oh-one-nine' with the same pitch and rhythm every time. Imaging lives on consistency, so lock in one shape for the station name.
- 'Rise and grumble. Then rise and shine.' is a tiny joke. Play 'grumble' low and sleepy, then pop up bright on 'shine.'
- Leave air between 'Windows down.' and 'Weekend on.' A producer will want to drop a sound effect in that gap.
Try it three more ways
- Read the set for a mellow late-night station: lower, slower, smoother.
- Read the set for a high-energy hit station with punchy, clipped delivery.
- Read the set as a parody of an over-the-top movie trailer voice.
