I’m looking for some (graphic design) advice on how to make look more professional and exciting, my cel phone speech bubbles at:

and

Any suggestions?
A website designer commented to me:
"…the bubbles around the people looking at their phones could be made a bit better, it looks a bit rushed, and could do with another font and maybe a more interesting bubble around it."
The bubbles have to stay (kind of) rectangular, because they are depicting what is displayed on the phone’s screen – though they could perhaps be slanted/warped.
Here are some (oval) bubbles, that to me look well designed:

From my observations of these bubbles, it seems the drop shadow/outline color is a darker variant of the balloon background color, the font is more suitable and of a contrasting color to the background.
I also see that the "pointy bits" are not made of straight lines (as mine are), but have a slight curve to them as they move towards the main body of the balloon.
Maybe I should incorporate some of these elements just described – though any additional advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Simon.
