Nice work, Allison! One thing I've found when working in teams is that we all tend to start scripting and storyboarding in passive voice/formal tone, but then almost think it's too much work to go back and fix. I'm trying to show that simple changes can make it far more conversational and personal (you pronoun, shorter sentences, etc).

One thing that really helps me is reading the text out loud as I write it. Something about hearing it make me realize it's overly formal when that's the case. And you're right, it shouldn't take too long to go back and make those formal texts a little more informal. A few tweaks here and there and it'll be well on its way! :)
