Commercial voice over scripts

Commercial copy is short, timed, and has a job to do. These original spots come in the standard 15-, 30-, and 60-second lengths so you can practise hitting a time while still sounding like a person, not an announcer.

How to practise commercial voice over scripts

  • Find the one benefit the listener should remember and aim the whole read at it.
  • Talk to one specific person. "You" means a single listener, not an audience.
  • Time every take. A 30-second spot that runs 33 seconds will be cut or rejected.

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.
