When reading aloud, how to read a parenthetical phrase?

Question

I need to read a script for a kind of audition, and part of the script contains a phrase in parentheses. Ie: "To approve an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement (“Proposed Advisory Agreement”) between..." I'm not sure if I should say *or "proposed advisory agreement"*, or say AKA, or what.

Answer 1

You could say it a couple of ways: "quote Proposed Advisory Agreement unquote. Or you could say, "in quotes, Proposed Advisory Agreement." Or since it sounds like a legal document, the way lawyers say it is "Proposed Advisory Agreement defined." Of course, don't forget to pause before you say the part in parentheses as well as afterwards.
