Hi I am new to narration and I have a question. How are we to read a bullet point in the text?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I've heard people say, "point" for each of them.
I, personally, don't say anything.
Ask your BC what they want you to do.

Interesting.. I never thought about my approach to bulleted text until you asked.
I have always approached bulleted-text like a list, especially when it follows a colon.
I get pretty animated at the mic, much like I am presenting in front of a group. I just say in my head #1 (and count on my fingers, which provides a beat to separate the text, so the listener hears the list stand out) then say the text, (count #2/beat) change inflection and read, (count #3/ maybe a beat-beat) and read third bulleted text.... kinda make it melodic. On the last bullet, I will use a downward, or down-up-down, inflection, to let the listener sense the end of the list, before proceeding to the next paragraph.
