A number of brands may also include a \u201cDos and Don’ts\u201d section which covers necessary information for your ad read. Things like how to talk about the product, words that should be avoided, or even how to properly pronounce the product. These Dos and Don\u2019ts sections are imperative to creating a stellar Host-Read Ad. Don\u2019t skip them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking the time to carefully read through the provided script will help to avoid possible make-good (retake) requests from the brand. So, be sure to give yourself enough time to thoroughly read over the script!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check Your Recording<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The hardest part is over! The next recommended step is to listen to your recording to ensure that you\u2019ve hit all the marks. Did you pronounce the product name correctly? Did you make sure to spell out the promo code? Listen to the recording while reviewing the provided script to confirm that nothing was missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, you want to try your best to avoid possible make-goods, so take the time to double-check your work. You\u2019ll thank yourself later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final Review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
