Why I Created This Tool

You know that feeling when you’ve just finished writing a script and you’re staring at it, wondering: “Is this as good as it could be?” Or maybe you’re stuck on a challenging brief and can’t figure out why the script isn’t working.

I’ve been there. We’ve all been there, and while you might not use this on every script – using it on those that have you stuck will give you a real advantage, in pointing out where you may have not quite got it right.

After many, many years in radio copywriting, I realized that while creativity can’t be reduced to formulas, there are proven principles that consistently separate effective radio commercials from those that fall flat. The problem was having a systematic way to apply these principles every time.

That’s why I developed ‘The Daily Script Doctor Workbook’.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic advertising guidelines, this workbook is specifically calibrated for radio’s unique strengths and challenges:

  • The intimate, one-to-one nature of radio communication
  • The passive listening context of most radio consumption
  • The power of theater of the mind visualization
  • The critical importance of the first three seconds
  • The challenges of conveying information without visual aids

How It Works

The workbook evaluates your scripts across 12 essential categories with a comprehensive 250-point scoring system:

  1. Pre-writing Strategy – Clear objectives and audience targeting
  2. Opening Strategy – Attention-grabbing hooks that create intrigue
  3. Message Development – Focused storytelling and conversational language
  4. Persuasion Techniques – Proven methods to influence and convince
  5. Call-to-Action – Clear, urgent, and memorable response mechanisms
  6. Memorability Factors – Elements that make your script stick
  7. Voice Direction – Detailed guidance for talent performance
  8. Script Mechanics – Structure, timing, and flow optimization
  9. Production Guidance – Music, effects, and sound design notes
  10. Audience Engagement – Creating connection and listener identification
  11. Accuracy Checklist – Quality control for all details
  12. Radio Optimization – Leveraging the medium’s unique advantages

The Scoring System That Actually Works

  • 90-100%: Ready for production – professional excellence achieved
  • 80-89%: Solid script with minor revisions needed
  • 70-79%: Significant revisions required
  • Below 70%: Complete rewrite recommended

This isn’t about constraining creativity – it’s about channeling it effectively. Every point represents a principle that increases your commercial’s chances of cutting through the clutter and driving results.
