Script Writing

Videos with voice over, some online courses, webinars, and podcasts are a few of the products we create that may involve script writing.

Tips for Script Writing

• Partner with the media team and/or the integrated learning team when working on a product that requires script writing.
• Write conversationally, using plain language. Use bolding to indicate when specific words should be emphasized.
• Bulleted text should be used for lists. Include an and when moving to the last bullet.
• Read your script out loud to hear the flow.
• Be sure to copy edit scripts.
• For voice over scripts, use black ink, at least 14-point Arial or Calibri font, and double space for ease of reading. Plan to deliver the script to the voice actor at least one week before recording.
