✍️ Scripting Tips

  • Add Buffer Time: Allow 10-15% extra time for intros, outros, and natural pauses.
  • Read Aloud: Always read your script aloud. Written words often take longer to speak than to read silently.
  • Formatting: Use bullet points for "talking points" rather than full scripts to sound more natural.
  • Pacing: Slow down for complex technical explanations and speed up for anecdotes.
