Check out how influencers are taking on AI and get inspired to record your own:
1. Embody the punniness
It’s easy to go from cute to cringe with the average tongue twister performance. But Katie Martell blows it out of the park with a clever costume change for the Fruit Salad Summit and Symposium. Don’t be afraid to let your words and your wardrobe showcase the fruits of your labor.
2. Start slowly
Mastering the art of alliteration is more than speed and verbal prowess. Dave Gerhardt leveraged his podcasting and storybook telling skills for an epic oration of snails. Pronouncing similar sounding words can trip anyone up — especially when you’re on cam — but slowing down can get you through the tricky parts.
3. Just dive in
Feeling squeamish? Take our advice and just dive in cold. Ross Simmons, founder of Foundation, tackles a deluge of digital marketing wordplay without missing a beat. Once you generate your script idea, lean into the teleprompter, and start building momentum with your recording. AI can help your script reach uncharted linguistic territories in seconds, but the confidence to go live is still strictly something human.
