Should I swear when voice narrating?
12 years ago
General
I'm currently working my way into voice narration, and need some advice.
Y'see, I don't normally swear at all, however, I'm not sure how much of an impact this reluctance to swear will have on voice narration, or what this means for a new voice narrator. This is probably the only thing I'm hesitant on. I could quite literally read just about anything under the sun, excluding some really exceptionally unnerving stuff without a hitch. I've already overcome the writing part, I can write any swear word I want, but wholeheartedly choose not to, and rather wish to use other words to convey my meaning.
So... all in all... what have people known about narrating that would be of concern in regards to swearing, explicit sex, excessive violence and excessive blasphemy? I'm worried about just swearing, even though I shouldn't be.
Opinions? Please?

Sorry but i don't quite know much about voice narrating.. perhaps you can ask if the role(s) require swearing and if they do ask if you can say something different instead of a swear word?
Either way i will have to bite my tongue alot more around you. (I.e not swear.)
