Hello. You’ve reached the office of Dr. Howard Abromowitz, famous orthodontist. This is the Doctor’s Administrative Assistant and mother, Mrs. Sylvia Abromowitz. We’re very sorry, but the office is closed today. The Doctor is going to his local HONDA DEALER to pick up his new ACCORD SE. Luckily, he has the good sense to know a real deal when he sees one. God only knows how his father and I sacrificed to put him through dental school. And, incidentally, if you happen to be a nice unmarried girl, and have good teeth, leave your name and number at the sound of the beep.
We know your heart was in the right place, Douglas, but we’ve got to let you know: those last few Viking parties of yours have been a little on the foobish side. It isn’t just the visible seams on the chintzy plastic helmets, or the bath mats repurposed as loin cloths. It’s the booze. Face it, no matter how bejeweled the wrought-iron chalice you pour it into, cheap sangria is cheap sangria. But take heart, for hope joins the battle! This highly-rated, award-winning Chaucer’s Mead Trio delivers yesterday’s taste today, bringing an earthy authenticity to any pageant, feast, or faire, including the uninspiring likes of your Viking parties. And don’t worry – just because it’s named after Chaucer doesn’t mean it’s made in England. This be Calyfornyae wyne, goode sirre. And now, Douglas, your bottles three! You’ll get two bottles of Chaucer’s Mead, a distinctively rich dessert-style wine blended from three different types of honey: floral-smelling orange blossom honey, spicy toyon honey (toyon’s a member of the sage family), and dark, amber-hued alfalfa. It would’ve been easier for Chaucer’s Cellars to add artificial flavorings, colorings, or concentrates. But they didn’t need gimmicks like that in the original Chaucer’s day. If pure fermented honey was good enough to lighten the way on the pilgrimage to Canterbury, it’s good enough for us. You will find a titch of trickery about the odd mead out here – Chaucer’s Raspberry Mead – but only of the mildest sort. This fruity variation on a honeyed theme is made by adding a splash of Chaucer’s Raspberry Wine (15%) to the aforementioned Chaucer’s Mead (85%). Don’t get your breeches in a bunch, traditionalists. People’ve been mixing up mead and fruity wine for so long, there’s even a name for it: Melomel. Less sweet than regular mead and less regular than sweet mead, Chaucer’s Raspberry Mead will make you holler “Forsooth!” So raise high the goblet, Douglas, for tonight we drink mead! Yep, that’s what we’ll say a few weeks from now, after our Chaucer’s Mead Trio arrives.

Y’know, New Yorkers aren’t the only people who eat Lenders Bagels.

Indian: The most favorite table bagel in all of Bombay...Exhilarating taste!

France: In Paris, Left or Right Bank, it make no difference, breakfast with Lenders, c’est magnifique.
Italian: When Mamma cooked, she’d make the manicotti or the meatballs...but for dessert, we’d always have Lenders bagels! See what I mean? Try Lenders Bagels today, and learn what the rest of the world has known for years!
My son, the olive, gives me such a pain! All my life all I wanted was the best for him, to be a Lindsay olive, a perfect olive! But would he listen to me? Nah. He’s got to act like a big shot all the time. Like when I told him, I said: “Hershey, stay in the sun, the sun is wonderful for you!” But would he listen? No, sir. Like when I caught him hanging around with a bad bunch of olives. I said: “Hershey, get away from them, you don’t need them, you’re a good olive!” Do you think he listened to me? No! So when the Lindsay pickers came, I said: “Yoo hoo, yoo hoo, Mister Lindsay picker! Pick over there my son, the big shot.” Did they pick him? Nah, they don’t want big shots. If he’d listened to me, by now he could have been a Lindsay olive.
Well, Officer, you gotta understand, it was a wild night. There was a lot going on, and honestly, I wasn’t in the best condition to be a good witness, know what I’m saying? We’d just finished a tasting of our Rock Hollow Sextet. There were a lot of people there, and I’m sure they’d tell a lot of different stories. But I do know a few things for sure. One, the guy who ran had on a really great shirt. Two, I definitely heard the stolen files. Those mashups that guy was spinning, well, I’m pretty sure the RIAA never approved anything like that. And three, the crime couldn’t have happened without the Razer Barracuda AC-1. I know, it’s usually a gaming audio card. And a great one – I’m a fan myself. I mean, it supports DTS Neo:PC, DTS Interactive, Dolby Headphone, Dolby Digital Live, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. That Razer Enhanced Sound Perception is pretty incredible at pinpointing kill zones, in awesome 7.1-channel, 24-bit sound. I don’t know why it’d get mixed up in something like this. But when I went up to it to get its autograph, it seemed different somehow. Wild. Out of control. Its passive EMI shield was drooping, and it had a crazy look on its HD-Dedicated Audio Interface. Maybe it had been drinking, I don’t know. Maybe it had been taking something stronger. All I can say is, it was pumping out those illicit remixes and leaked advances like it had a death wish. But, uh, hey, don’t tell the Razer Barracuda AC-1 I told you this, OK? A card with that kind of power, those kinds of connections – I just wouldn’t want to get on its bad side.
Hi, Interesting script:
Some things I noticed:
You should look into a popper stopper for your mic
There were a few mistakes throughtout the recording where you stumbled over the words in the script.
Also, you drastically went up in volume when you were naming the supporting features.
I think in parts of the script you sounded convincing but in other areas you overacted a bit.

You caught a big fish and I commend you for trying to reel this one in, especially because the obvious choice for this script would be male! You had some great instincts here and your energy towards the end was good, though not consistent throughout the script. A few things to be mindful of... Watch your pronunciation and diction. There were many times when the words were very garbled and that was a huge distraction. Be mindful also of mouth noise... pops, clicks, etc. The pacing was a bit choppy throughout. You could have also gone further with this character. There's a lot of fun stuff to play with in the script, and you did a great job of emphasizing some of those aspects, but I encourage you to take it even further. This character is big, bold, maybe a grandiose pirate or a pompous knight. Imagine you're at Ren fair...how would you sell this mead?
