Hello guys - Illustrator related question

[MFR]

Hello guys,

I am new to the forum so I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this thread.

I have been searching the internet on how to make a shiny/gold like text effect but all I find is for large fonts and I am trying to do the same thing on a thin cursive font.

Trying to do this effect on the image attached, can someone with a little more experience help me? I would be very grateful if they could show me the process so that I can learn. I am starting a small company and I have very little photoshop/illustrator skills but I would want to learn how to do it as well.

Thanks in advance for reading my post, would very much appreciate some help on this matter.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Lots of love

MFR
