I often develop courses on serious topics, too. I agree that a conversational tone adds a user-friendly appeal to some of those heavier subjects. Connie Thanks for your interesting comment, Margo.

I have two new IDs who are new to scripting audio and video. Your tips on this site sound much like those I have been giving them. We deal with serious subject matter which is not exactly light. But that doesn't mean we need to sound like a bunch of humorless stiffs. We can not only be dignified but also personable, at the same time. I once had an ID who insisted on using words like Moreover and Hitherto, etc., and let's just say that just wasn't it. I rehearse my narrators and always find I am editing the script as they read so that the word flow sounds more natural and conversational. Things just sound different when a script is read aloud to others. Sometimes I make edits, but often it's the narrator who says, "this just sounds funny - it's not me." But we do that editing dance until we get it right and have a winner. I just happened by, and this topic struck an aural nerve! I have two new IDs who are new to scripting audio and video.
