"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the playroom - it is! Fishing for sharks isn’t normally something you want kids to do, but this beautiful bamboo game by Hape will make you wish you had a bigger boat. Each player has to hook the sharks that match the color of their fishing rods, and it’s up to them to figure out new ways to do it. Shark Fishery is great for problem solving and fine motor skills for 1-4 players, ages 3 and up. This one’s a catch!"

"Right after saving a multitude of puppies and nuns from a burning bus en route to an orphanage, The Factory Theater decided that creating shows would be even more rewarding than heroism.
That would be an awesome story. Truth is, most Chicagoans created theater companies because they didn’t want to wait for the right kind of shows to appear – they wanted to make them. The Factory was no exception to this rule, but they took it a step or ten further. The Factory was going to create their shows from scratch, doing exactly the kind of theater they wanted to do.
Almost 25 seasons later, the formula seems to be working. From writing workshops to the closing night bash, the process ensures The Factory shows are a unique experience that fits their exacting standards: Original, Bold, and Full-Tilt. The shameless ensemble are ambassadors of a good time, making certain that Chicago remains heartily entertained.
Yeah, this is a better story than that burning bus. Trust."
The Factory Theater has been producing original theater for over 25 years in Chicago. It's only fitting, then, that their copy reflects their style of brazen ridiculousness and shameless fun. I served as Marketing Director for the company from 2014-2016, leading its rebranding effort and website overhaul. I now serve as copywriter, creating web content, one-line ensemble bios, emails, and special event invitations. Check them out here, and then tell me what I can do for your company.

Voiceover actors need a reel. Reels require ads. Sometimes, you can get them from the internet or from the studio where you're recording. I think it's more fun to have ads that are created for your vocal range and abilities, giving you the flexibility you need in order to show off your chops. I've written copy for Tightrope Studios in Chicago, and I can write some for you too.
