In everyday teaching and production work I create and read a lot of advertisements. Almost each of them, at least in local media, is constructed in the same way: Who’s got a phone number?. That’s why I was so happy to be able to record for a restaurant whose name brings to mind cartoon characters.I’ve always wanted to try my hand in dubbing. That’s why when I answer the phone, I sometimes pretend to be different voices. Once I’m a mad scientist, another time I pretend to be a voicemail welcome, and sometimes I pull in Russian (although I don’t speak that language). After one such cheerful phone calls I got an order to record for a restaurant in Gdańsk. Its content seems ordinary and does not differ from the scheme: who? what? where? contact details. However, fantastically used by the writer in the first sentence of phraseology “chicken pale”, caused me to shout: I can’t record this normally! I’ve decided to turn my acting impulses into, I think, an absolute commercial. Slightly snorting, slightly clapping, protracting and strongly highlighting the letter “r” – Kurrrczak. Here’s the commercial. Cows and chicken.
The students know that being creative in this job is very important. Daily reading of many of the same texts introduces a terrible routine, and this translates into the quality of our recordings. So I wish to others and myself that such exciting realizations happen every day. For the development of not only teaching skills but also acting skills, which sometimes lack!
