Problem
The creator reads every bullet point aloud instead of using the screen to summarize and narration to interpret.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
Verbatim reading of on-screen text insults the viewer's intelligence and creates informational stagnation. Because visual reading speed is nearly double spoken speech rates, viewers finish reading instantly and perceive the pacing as painfully sluggish.
Actionable Fix:
1. Asymmetric Information Delivery: Display only high-level quantitative data or concise conclusions on screen while delivering qualitative context exclusively via voiceover.
2. Dual-Coding Restructure: Replace full-sentence text bullet points with conceptual icons, data badges, or minimal schematic callouts.
3. Scripted Script-to-Screen Audit: Conduct a table read while comparing the storyboard; ensure no spoken sentence duplicates more than three consecutive words from the graphic.
Pro Tip:
The screen should show the "what" (the hard data or principle), while your voice explains the "so what" and "what now" (the strategic application).
