· “There’s no way I can fit all of this script into just 30 seconds” – there are too many words for the time allowed and you’re tempted to gabble to fit it all in. Instead: maybe the script has just been ‘over-written’ and there are a few words that can be lost or phrases that can be re-written. Obviously, this is down to the producer, not you – although you may perhaps make a polite suggestion if asked. If you have to talk fast, dropping your projection will, by default, also drop your energy and you’ll sound less rushed. Weird, but it works. You may also have to take a longer pause between sentences, so you can take a bigger breath which’ll allow you to take fewer of them and so save time.
