Seeking clarification for rejection
Hey Bunny community! I am seeking help with exactly why a B.M. rejected this.
SPEEDY REJECTED:
Uh-oh! I'm sorry, but the work you submitted for Advertisement 1d1adfd7-3dd4-461a-8db9-
- Your recording doesn’t follow the script as provided by the client.
_Hi,_
_Thank you for your submission; we greatly appreciate your effort. Unfortunately, we have found the following issue(s) in your recording._
_- At :03, “unparalleled educational” is not pronounced clearly_
_- At :11 you should read “who you want to be”_
So, directly below I have copy/pasted the actual script. Directly following is the audio link. Please listen along to my audio and tell me where I didn't follow along. Thanks!

Hi Danny,
I've listened to the first take you sent (not the one attached). "Unparalleled" sounds like "unparallel" as it's not enunciated properly. At 0:11 you say "wanna be". While both are correct, the client wrote "want to be" as it's regarded as less colloquial.
Hope that clears that one.
HI Sebastian! Yes, I understand this. My point that I need clarificatio is as follows. I was notified of this and asked to submit a revision under the following conditions.
The time allotted to revise and resubmit your work: 32 minutes and 54 seconds.
I then did this, and have attached the audio of the revision. The revision was rejected with the following note:
- Your recording doesn’t follow the script as provided by the client.
Can you please tell me how I did not follow the script as provided by the client?
-Thanks!
Danny
Again, here is the revised audio that I submitted.

In the revision it still sounds like "wanna be".
Wow! You guys are ball busters. That is highly interpretive and a bit super picky in my opinion. But you are the bosses! Thanks for the follow up.
Also, the client's instructions were to be "conversational." That's how people talk, they don't hyper annunciate everything right?
Completely understand your point.
The thing is that our QC team must be really strict with how the script is read as we've learned from experience that our clients want exactly what they wrote.
Sometimes you'll even find grammar errors that must be read verbatim as that was the idea they had in mind for the audio. That's why we are very picky in this regard.
Cheers Danny
