The last Friday of every month is Game Day at the “Working” Voice Actor club on Clubhouse, and today was a really fun one: scripts with mismatching specs. Our wonderful host George set it all up for us players, and here’s how it worked:
- We look through the script choices and pick one to read. The scripts are legit copy, but the specs are totally off.
- We tell the audience what the product/title is, but do not tell them the specs
- We read the script according to the specs.
- Hilarity ensues.
- We then reveal the specs.
Everyone had a ton of fun performing and listening! When I woke up this morning, I didn’t expect that I’d hear a sarcastic Amtrak ad, or a monster-truck-style promo for Ancient Mysteries, or two sensual reads for extreme Jello sticks, or a bored/pretentious/Valley Girl version of the opening monologue to the Lord of the Rings (which I chose and had a blast reading), but I’m sure glad that these things were a part of my day!
(And I’m also glad that replays are turned off for Game Days.)
Thank you to George, Roshelle, and Megan for organizing this space, and thanks to everyone who played along! I’m looking forward to the next one, and I hope to see you there: Fridays on Clubhouse at 9am PST/noon EST.
