SPLAT! Scripts & Copy Ideas
In times like these music makes us all feel better, and live radio offers something extra that playlists can't: emotions, empathy and shared human experiences...we're all in this together. 

While it's never good to make light of serious stuff, a tasteful, well-written sweeper or promo can speak to the new daily reality that we all have in common. 

If you need copy ideas, here are some recent SPLAT! scripts addressing life in the era of "social distancing."

Feel free to use these, edit, adapt, improvise, improve, etc. Most of these scripts can work for just about any radio format. Find them at this link.
Working from home? How to stay focused, fresh & creative.
Most producers are already set up for production at home, or at least on their laptops, so it's not a foreign concept by any stretch. However, being isolated from your friends and coworkers can introduce new hurdles.

Here are effective tips and suggestions from two of the voices that you regularly hear on SPLAT! imaging, both experts at providing top service and creativity while working remotely.

On focusing and thriving:

Gabby Nistico , voice of Rock Splat!, says to take control.

"The laundry can wait! That is my biggest tip - don't get distracted by household chores. Set your business hours the same as you would working outside your home and focus your business hours on business tasks. Don't sit around in your jammies all day either - get dressed and go to work - even if work is only 10 feet away."

On adapting and creating:

Chad Erickson , voice of Pop Splat!, says to take it head on.

"We have to make the best of this time and still be able to joke and have fun and WORK. Take a break from the NEWS. Have fun and be creative. There’s a TON of great content being written and experienced as we all go through this together. Let’s laugh and cry together and do the best radio we can do under these circumstances...and be good to everyone"

We'll be sharing more advice and thoughts in the days, weeks and months to come. As long as it takes, we'll be here. Be sure to link up with SPLAT! on our socials: Facebook Instagram Twitter
