What’s up, VoiceTubers, my name is Ingrid and you’re listening to today’s pronunciation challenge. Today’s topic is very important to me because I’ve been struggling with my weight since…. since forever. In fact, my mom and I both have trouble with our diet, you see.. (fade out)

INT. INGRID’S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Ingrid’s tummy grumbles.
INGRID
Urgh, I am so hungry.
Ingrid decides to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
INGRID
I’m sure I can find something in the fridge.
INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT
INGRID
Let’s see. Cherry tomatoes, leftover pasta, bread...
(beat)
Oh, I can heat up some soup. Good idea.
Suddenly, the kitchen lights up. Mom appears.
MOM
Ingrid?
INGRID
Mom! You scared me!
MOM
What do you think you’re doing?
INGRID
I’m just finding something to eat. I’m hungry.
MOM
It’s three in the morning!
INGRID
Yeah, why are you still awake.
MOM
I heard footsteps. You woke me up. Now, put down the soup. You’ll gain weight if you eat late at night.
INGRID
No, I won’t mom. Eating at night doesn’t mean you’ll definitely gain weight.
MOM
Yes, it does. I’ve heard that many times.
INGRID
(sighs)
