This event is for those that have NOT attended a "Script Deconstruction, Direction & Ear Training 1" Seminar. If you have attended one and would like a refresher, please email me.
It is much more than just words on a piece of paper. It is the opportunity to have your client's message heard. You need to be sure those words hit home. Learn to find the message behind the message, recognize the "call to action" and make the MOST of each sentence. Whether it is retail, narrative or character based, there is a preferred delivery by every copywriter.
