How to practise funny voice acting scripts

  • Play it straight. The character shouldn't know it's funny.
  • Escalate: each joke should be a step bigger than the last.
  • Pause before the punchline word, never after it.

Every script page includes a teleprompter that scrolls at your chosen words-per-minute pace, with optional recording so you can hear your take straight away.
