Ahead, through the gap in the leaves I could see the dirt road. I prayed I’d been wrong, that nothing was coming after me. I'd heard stories about this road, and this forest. People being robbed, killed, and it was certainly not my first choice for a hiding place. However, it was better than the narrow roads where I could easily get cornered. I knew my mistake, staying too late at the alehouse. Script 2 Hey, do you already know your next customer? We do!

Sometimes it can be hard to know what to do, but it’s important to trust your instincts and get the right help. Strep A is a common type of bacteria that is found on the skin and in the throat. Most strep A infections are mild and easily treated. Scarlet fever is caused by strep A. It is usually a mild illness that is highly infectious. It causes a distinctive pink-red rash and flu-like symptoms and is treated with antibiotics. Script 2 In a different time, when words were lit with lightning and history was carved from magic, there was a far-off land where stood a monument. A divine statue. Golden and strange. At first glance, it seemed to be on the edge of a burial ground - guarding sarcophagi and long forgotten tombs. But beneath it, there were no bodies to discover.

In ep 110 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Susie Valerio joins Sam and Mark to talk about what to do when a medical sounding script isn't medical, and how to approach a documentary script so it doesn't sound like all the others out there! We explore chakras, mine some gold, lose our voices and grow a long neck!

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 The nine separate enneatypes are grouped into three clusters called triads. Each triad has one thing in common, a point of view or a feeling that they perceive the world through. Some Enneagram practitioners refer to these as the "three knowledge centres." The triad groups represent three ways that we can process information. People often use words like "gut," "bones," or “heart,” to describe their feelings - such as in "I know it in my…gut”. Which option they choose can be very telling. Script 2 Drawn by the jobs and industry that gold generates, a population of approximately one hundred thousand people has grown around one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world, creating a unique living situation. This episode explores the delicate balance between mine, city and environment. A carefully managed relationship, so that both mine and the city's inhabitants can flourish.

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 In 1747, James Lind set up his study at sea: Twelve sailors suffering from scurvy were split into six groups with two men in each group. All six groups shared living quarters in the same end of the ship and were given the same diet during the course of the study, with the exception of six different treatments that Lind wanted to test. The first group got cider. The second group got diluted sulfuric acid. The third group got vinegar. The fourth group got sea water. The fifth group got two oranges and a lemon. Finally, the last group got a purgative mixture of commonly used medicines. Script 2a She grasped her carefully embroidered reticule, a present from her beloved aunt Mary, given to her at Christmas, a gift that she treasured dearly, despite it’s garish colour, and stepped off the sidewalk into the busy London street, narrowly avoiding a huge puddle. She hailed a hackney which appeared suddenly through the fall gloom. The driver’s rough attire of sackcloth pants held up by suspenders looked filthy but she tried not to stare as he pulled his horses to a halt beside her. ‘Can you take me to Clarence House?’ she asked. The man grimaced. ’Clarence house be 5 blocks away, he growled in his distant London accent ‘ I ain’t got time, lady! I be workin’ Script 2b As she walked she thought about her brawny Highlander, Hamish Campbell, the one who had proposed to her only a week ago and to whom she had run from despite her longing to be with him. ‘Doona go!’ he had pleaded earnestly, ‘I doona want to live without ye, I can no.’ His deep voice resonated in his head and she flushed to remember it. They had not been alone, his 5 cousins, Angus, Calum, Bret, Jed and Colin had witnessed the whole embarrassing episode there on the riverbank next to their little croft house in the little village of Firth on the banks of the river Forth.. she had stood right on the waters edge, the men behind her.

Danny Watts: The one with the Voiceover Socials!
In ep 105 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Danny Watts joins Sam and Mark to talk about dialling up and down the brightness for a corporate script, getting historical clues from within the script, and why getting together for drinks can enhance your voiceover career! Our VO question this week is all about the voiceover socials - what they are, where they are and why they are! Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 To modulate their brightness, LEDs are typically pulsed on and off at regular intervals. This approach is called pulse width modulation, or PWM for short. When an LED is asked to operate at a much lower brightness, it ends up being off more than it is on, effectively limiting the amount of brightness levels it can create, thus reducing the effective bit depth of the video being displayed. The result is noticeable banding and visual artefacts on the images being shown on screen. To alleviate these issues, we have introduced Dark Magic on all our Tessera LED processors. Script 2 A fine morning sir and isn’t that the most precious collar I’ve ever seen on a Barker. I wondered what would it take for you to part with such a handsome coat? I know the value of such a garment - I have a keen eye and a heavy pocket - and I deal in the finest accessories sir. Why, just the other day I sold the smartest hat to a lovely young lad. You wouldn’t be in the market to sell, would you?

I saw Zanarin wince pointedly at my voice, which was harsh and graveled thanks to my surviving the sessiva when it swept through Lohaiso during my prelacy there. It mostly did not bother me, except when someone like Zanarin made sure it did. "Good afternoon, Celehar,” said Vernezar. “I apologize for dragging you down here, not nearly as elegant as what you were used to at the Untheileneise Court, I’m sure - but this really isn’t a matter for the Ulistheileian.” We'd love your feedback - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, hit the follow button today! **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

For seven days, I sat in the front row of the multimillion-pound libel trial and, to be honest with you - another favourite phrase of Vardy's, (a phrase which led Coleen Rooney's barrister, David Sherborne QC to retort, "Well, I'd much rather you're honest because you are sitting in a witness box") - in all my many years of covering fashion and celebrities in this paper, this was the purest form of entertainment I have ever seen.

Emily Jardine UNEDITED: The New Year Special
Happy New Year! In the second of our festive specials of “How Do You Say That?!” we've delved into the archive - and pulled out an episode full of gold with voice actor and casting director Emily Jardine. As with our Christmas special, this is UNEDITED , warts-and-all ! Don't miss Charlie the puppy turning bad, what happened when Sam had a power-cut mid recording and a very squishy sounding Igor - well it was first broadcast around Halloween 2023!

Hedonists, To the desire for power and control. A trait is often shared between these abhorrent individuals. A trait which strikes fear into our hearts. Their innate ability to blend amongst humanity. From a single glance, you may think nothing of them. You might even trust them. Until it is far too late. Script 2 Dear Henry I'm Charlie, a Corgi puppy who is quite new to the whole dry food feeding thing. I only like to eat the best of the best and I'm worried that my parents aren't feeding me the right food. Call me high maintenance, but I want a food that ticks all the boxes: tasty, keeps my coat lovely and shiny, my 'parcels' firm, and helps me develop as I grow into a bigger dog.

So it asks...no, demands...that you let go of your artificial boundaries and rediscover all your wonderful weirdness—the experiences that make you different from everyone else on the planet. And when does life ask that of you? Or, when was the last time you could do that without feeling judged? That’s why creativity is such a rush. It’s the undeniable truth of who you are being recognised and embraced.

To have made a difference do you have to have an image which is instantly recognised? Do you need a million Tweets and a billion followers? An Oscar winning bio-pic? Is the business of a life lived to the full only worth knowing if you yourself are known? A tree falling in the empty forest is not unheard. If nothing else it’s noticed by the other trees. So I fall. Back into the silence of history. Script 2 It’s wearing your heart on your sleeve but keeping your cool. The noise, the chants Points won, points lost.

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 This trunk had two neat brass locks, one left, one right, along the front of the lid. Ethel, after fumbling, opened the first – then, so great was her hurry to know what might be within that she could not wait but slipped her hand in under the lifted corner. She pulled out one pricelessly lacy top of what must be a bridal-veil, and gave a quick laugh – must not this be an omen? She pulled again, but the stuff resisted, almost as though it were being grasped from inside the trunk. Script 2 A long, long time ago, organic remains were safely stored deep within our planet; Where it turned into carbon compound. Let's fast forward to the industrial revolution, when we first discovered that we could use this carbon to fuel our societies. But there's a catch. Every carbon particle we burn, turns into a CO2 molecule, that is filling up the atmosphere. Which is bad news for our planet — and for us.

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 My freedive in the kelp is at summer's end when the water is still balmy from a season of sunshine. The kelp look shabby, abraded and overgrown, signs of imminent change and a shift towards autumn underwater. An invisible pulse of energy sweeps the ragged fronds one way, bending and flexing the stipes, then hauls them back the other. They flutter and billow in the flow like drapes in a blustering wind, as the surge pours through and over them. In heavy seas, this is where their strength lies. No oak, pine or redwood tree could survive such ferocity on land. Script 2 I get that you’re upset. I’m not doing it on purpose. Look, Monday night was just a few with the lads after 5 a side. Tuesday, that was that works thing I told you about, ages ago. Wednesday, we went out, and then last night was just a couple in front of the telly. I know you think I’ve got a problem, but I can stop whenever I want. I don’t need it. It relaxes me. It’s how I unwind. What? This?

The types of things a customer would need to consider are aesthetics, cost, safety features, connectivity from the installation location, and finally, whether it is a suitable product for the existing electrical system at the property, which you will assess when you conduct the site survey but the customer should understand that this could affect the product options available to them. Script 2 Most of what we know about Wallis Simpson is the unforgettable affair that led to the abdication of King Edward VIII. Yet, Bessie Wallis Warfield was once just a girl from Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. So how exactly did this American socialite and divorcée lure the King of England away from the throne - and what was Edward’s strategy here? Did he ever really want to become King at all? Was Wallis simply a guaranteed way out of a life he never wanted in the first place? **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

A coward broke my life and made me what I have become. I had wronged him, I admit, but I was very sorry – and hated myself for my fault. I begged his pardon – begged for it on my knees!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox , Dev Joshi joins Sam and Mark to talk about gaming - and rather cleverly we retrofit a gaming script with some entirely new characters. We talk about punctuation, what styles are accessible for kids listening, and the strict timings of gaming lines.

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 In addition, the laid-over pleat design of Uni-fold benefits from another key feature. The uniform flow of fluid across the entire surface of the filter medium. In contrast, for fan pleat filters, the upstream flow channel of the medium is much more open than the downstream side due to the standard, triangular pleat structure. Consequently, the flow is highest at the bottom of the pleat. Script 2 [Speaks seductively] I think... This is the last time we'll see each other. Bye bye. [Speaks in a joking tone] I highly doubt someone like me can just pray and get lucky, hahaha. Farewell! [Speaks seductively] Well, I look forward to the next time I see you, honey.

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Funny how things work out in the end. The dinner went really well, and bless him, Tom apologised about lying to me. He said he had been scared by the strength of his feelings for me and needed time away to figure out what he wanted. I thought I’d try cooking oysters to start, then it was pan-seared pork chops in a creamy sauce followed by chocolate cheesecake; I had to buy that though. We sat chatting afterwards, but he had to leave because he was feeling queasy. The last I heard he was in hospital on a drip, and they called me and asked me what we’d had for dinner. Script 2 Here’s what the judges said: Louisa has shown that passion, enthusiasm, and a willingness to take a chance really does pay off. Her marketing flex and approach has seen some very impressive results and she has clearly made a big impact within the MegaCorp Group team. That’s why Louisa James, of MegaCorp GROUP is now the proud holder of the NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR – MARKETING trophy. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox , Armin Hierstetter joins Sam and Mark to talk about creating a performance for fast cars (when the pictures really do the talking), cooking, and some very naughty adult things... plus Sam has a top kitchen tip for you!

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Take cooking. We all have to rustle up a meal. At one end of the scale, there's scrambled eggs on toast (which is a small step up from a pot noodle) and at the other end, there's that tricky Ottolenghi recipe that you might try to whip up on a free weekend. But if we really want to push the boat out, then we head to a restaurant and get the experts to cook up something special. Getting it right is important - and that gives us the chance to choose the perfect solution. Script 2 Bilsterberg is a modern racetrack in northern Germany. Over a 4.2 km stretch with 19 challenging curves, you can improve your skills and test the potential of your car and accessories. You don't find spectator stands here, it's all about driving, not watching. The Porsche Cayman with its 4-cylinder engine is a quite underrated car. Let's see how it performs on track. The Manhart MH2 GRT is challenging for tyres on a racetrack - due to its relatively high weight and its enormous power. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

Quick-change costumes are designed so that they can be removed quickly - and rigged so they can be put on quickly… very quickly! Script 2 Stressexe is a marketplace where bookings can be bought, sold, and bid on. Here’s how… Let’s say a guy - call him Craig – makes a reservation. It could be for a barber, or membership of a golf club – or maybe it’s for a toy, for his niece. But what happens if Craig can’t use his reservation anymore? Maybe he has to work late.

Script 2 My family. I love them, but sometimes I wonder what goes on inside their heads… My daughter. Loves the planet AND loves annoying her big brother. Ah! she’s a Hufflepuff! My everyday hero!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Danny Cowan joins Sam and Mark to talk about all things TV continuity - from writing to time, talking to graphics live and changing style for different channels!

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 This open-mouthed gargoyle statue on a corner of Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral is often considered to be an icon, or visual shorthand, for what we associate with the “medieval.” Though many aspects of the surviving building are, in fact, medieval, the gargoyles are not. They were added during a 19th century restoration as practical architectural features - they may have included water spouts or something to redirect water runoff from the building. Though they don’t belong to the iconography of Christianity, they have become emblematic of the building’s character. Script 2 Now I think that’s what we call spilling the tea … find out if it gets cleaned up tomorrow at half 7 And talking of spilling the tea … could Diane’s drinking from the poisoned chalice mean the death of her? Well if you think EastEnders is dramatic … I don’t think you’ll be able to handle THE TRAITORS tonight at 9 But if beefy people in Lyrica is more your thing … you might want to press red to watch GLADIATORS on iPlayer **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Helen Lloyd joins Sam and Mark to give a 24 carat gold masterclass in audiobook narration.

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Volunteering makes a real difference in local communities. Volunteers respond to real time needs and deliver valuable financial, social and cultural benefits to millions of people, projects and causes. Whether working as individuals or in groups, volunteers are the essence of local communities. And this can be especially important during challenging times when the usual rhythm and flow of community life is disrupted. This audio guide is divided into six short sections that celebrate the value of local community volunteering - and how you can get involved. Script 2 Nora closes her eyes and inhales the memory of George; Palmolive soap, fresh air, and boy. Her fingers remember his backbone beneath his thin cotton shirt like a line of cobblestones, a washboard of ribs on either side. His breath warm against her cheek, his auburn hair tangling with her lighter curls. If she and George had had a son, he’d have looked just like that boy. That beautiful boy out there on his bicycle. Nora fingers the old wooden thimble in her cardigan pocket. Smoothed by years of her caress, the heart and flower are almost undetectable. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Of course… just let me ‘seize the moment’ in my mind and I’ll be ready… I’m imagining the tomatoes are grown on a sunny hillside in Northern Italy, probably beside a convent and… and the nuns, Italian nuns, dressed in their full gear… what do they call that thing… a habit… that’s right… do you know what I mean… It’s like a long tunic and mostly has two sets of sleeves… the bigger one is worn down during ceremonies or when they’re inside a chapel… Well, they’re out in the midday sun… and they’re so focused on the task at hand that they don’t see the magnificent flock of birds fly overhead and settle in a nearby coppice… Script 2 So, we’re in the Green Drawing Room. It’s very pretty isn’t it? Look at all the beautiful paintings on the wall. And (with awe) look up at the ceiling. Those huge glittery lights are called (slowly) ‘chandeliers’. At night time I come in here just to stare up at them; they sparkle like stars in the sky. ‘Chandeliers’...I like that word. When the palace was built, a long, long time ago, it was before electricity was used in people’s homes. Today, there are light bulbs in the chandeliers but do you know what they used back then? That’s right – candles. It was a big job for all the footmen to keep them all lit. They also had to make sure the wax from the candles didn’t drip down on the ladies’ beautiful dresses. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 I dearly wanted a doll’s house, but they were hard to come by during the war. I remember one Christmas, my big sister was so excited… “Christmas is coming Janet - and you’re going to love your present!” “Somebody’s got me a doll’s house…somebody’s got me a doll’s house. It doesn’t have to be new or anything. Just a doll’s house!” “Just make sure you don’t look in the outside lav.” But come Christmas morning… I got - a doll’s pram. Someone had done it up and painted it - battleship grey - the only available colour, left over from the War. Script 2 Cake holds a family together. I really believed it did. My father was a different man when there was a cake in the house. Warm. The sort of man I wanted to hug rather than shy away from. If he had a plate of cake in his hand I knew it would be alright to climb up onto his lap. There was something about the way my mother would put a cake on the table that made me feel all was well.

Richard Savage: The one with the Bitchy Narrator!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Richard Savage joins Sam and Mark to talk about creating the Wildcard Generator, playing a character who's out of vision, and bringing a dry script to life by humanising it. Our VO question this week is all about how you get a pronunciation right first time. Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Airspace change is complex. It’s highly technical and often difficult to understand. The MAT1212 guidance isn’t easy to navigate, along with the expectation to co-ordinate with neighbouring airports. With the bar set high for stage 3 consultation, political engagement is key. Local and surrounding authorities have strong opinions - not to mention high profile MPs. And with the potential change of Government before January 2025, the political picture is complicated. Script 2 Let me guess. Housemate used all your toothpaste again? We can’t have that. She thinks she can just get away with anything doesn’t she? She knows you won’t say anything because she knows you know it would only make things awkward. And neither of you want that do you? Here’s what you do. Edible sugar paste. Fairly cheap online. Mix with a teaspoon of mint flavouring. The result is something that looks like toothpaste… tastes like toothpaste - but is detrimental for your gums. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say "Alexa, Play How Do You Say That?!" About our guest: Originally from the UK, but moved to the Czech Republic in 2002 to become an English teacher, Richard became a voice over artist in 2010, reading audio guides for destinations around the Czech Republic. He has gone on to voice countless audio guides and corporate promos, many of which he also translates and proofreads, as well as doing radio imaging, commercials, e-learning, and character voices. Being a working musician meant that Richard already had the studio equipment and audio engineering know-how when the pandemic hit in 2020, and now he records and produces voice overs almost exclusively from home.

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 I don’t often get foxed, but I came mighty close on Sarabande for Dead Lovers. Now, the filming was done in Prague. And there’s a scene in it - the retreat from war. Now, to have a retreat, you need an army. And when you have an army, that means 300 extras. And when you have 300 extras, you need uniforms, tricorn hats and 300 pairs of buckled shoes. Clothes were still on ration, but I managed to get everything ... except the shoes. Oh, you could get two pairs here, half a dozen there. But 300? Script 2 [Reporters talk in German, Italian and French] [Neil Armstrong recording] From walking on the moon [ pause ] to landing on Mars, silicones have played an integral part in taking us to space, pushing the boundaries of innovation and our knowledge of the universe. Derived from quartz extracted from the Earth's crust, silicones enable technologies that allow us to explore outer space [ pause ] and help us understand [ pause ] where we come from [ pause ] and where we are going.

Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try? Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 As companies strive to rely less on fossil raw materials, Carlton offers certification to track the use of alternative feedstock throughout the value chain to final products. Within the supply chain, companies have three options to manage certified alternative feedstock. One: Physical segregation ensures that certified alternative feedstock and fossil raw materials are kept separate throughout the entire supply chain. Two: During controlled blending, certified alternative feedstock and fossil raw materials are mixed. At all times, the physical content of certified alternative feedstock is known and monitored.

In this Halloween special episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Scottish voice actor Blanche Anderson joins Sam and Mark to talk about the spooktacular scripts falling into our inboxes, the variety of ghouls, witches, zombies and goblins we can conjure out of our mouths, and the crossover between audio drama and audio books!

The horse reared and plunged driving the cart backwards towards the ditch. Then, there was a deafening crash - and the cart lay on its side in the ditch, a complete wreck.

Their innate ability to blend amongst humanity. From a single glance, you may think nothing of them. You might even trust them. Until it is far too late. Script 2 Dear Henry I'm Charlie, a Corgi puppy who is quite new to the whole dry food feeding thing. I only like to eat the best of the best and I'm worried that my parents aren't feeding me the right food. Call me high maintenance, but I want a food that ticks all the boxes: tasty, keeps my coat lovely and shiny, my 'parcels' firm, and helps me develop as I grow into a bigger dog.

Our VO question this week is all about the importance of being able to edit your audio. We’d love you to join in and give us an idea fo a wildcard genre - either DM Sam or mark on social media, or send your suggestion to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Are vegetarians and vegans getting enough vitamin B12? While choosing a vegetarian or vegan diet may have many health benefits, there are also certain nutritional challenges. The recommended daily intake for vitamin B12 is only 2 micrograms, but you would be surprised to know what this little amount is able to do in our body. Vegetarians and vegans can easily become vitamin B12-deficient, simply because the vitamin is only found in animal food sources. If you consume a strictly plant-based diet, you are hard-pressed to cover your need for this particular nutrient. Script 2 Could summer surprise you? If you go with the flow, Could it thrill and delight you? Could summer surprise you? If dreams take flight, Could you soar like the birds do? Could summer surprise you?

We’d love you to suggest a wildcard style or genre for a future episode - either DM Mark or Sam on our socials or send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 “This is a truly splendid abbey, is it not? I have travelled all over the kingdom, and visited many abbeys. But rarely have I seen one as fine as this. My ancestor, Edward III, transformed this. He made it into a beautiful resting place for his father, Edward II, who is buried here. They began their work right here. They remodelled the South Transept first, as a kind of experiment before they tackled the rest of the East End. All this magnificence was a grand stage for Edward II’s tomb. But I’ll tell you more about the tomb when we get there…” Script 2 This isn't just any vodka. The Eastern Delights vodka is a symbol of Pan-Asian craftsmanship, where each ingredient is meticulously chosen from the finest offerings across the continent. In a blend that pays homage to the East, the Eastern Delights Vodka is triple blended with distillates of exotic longan honey from Taiwan, robust barley from the towering Tibetan highlands, and an extraordinary mixture of different potatoes. To perfect the blend, it's proofed with the ultra-soft water that flows from the picturesque Sakurajima Peninsula in Kagoshima, Japan. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say "Alexa, Play How Do You Say That?!"

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Kerry Hutchinson joins Sam and Mark to talk about the different styles of narration for audiobooks, how to pull back time in a script so you have more for the end, and our wildcards embrace mad professors, pirates and the late-great Joyce Grenfell! Our VO question this week is all about what your favourite audiobook is, and why. We’d love you to suggest a wildcard we could use in the show - either DM Mark or Sam on social media or send your suggestion to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Triumphantly Caroline lifted her finger from the fine italic type. There was nothing to mar the success of this afternoon. Not only had she taken the car out alone for the first time, driving unerringly on the right-hand side of the road, but what she had achieved was not a simple drive but a cultural excursion. She had taken the Italian guidebook Neville was always urging on her and hesitantly, haltingly, she had managed to piece out enough of the language to choose a route that took in four well-thought-of frescoes, two universally admired campaniles, and one wooden crucifix in a village church quite a long way from the main road. It was not, after all, such a bad thing that a British Council meeting had kept Neville in Florence. Script 2 These days, time is a precious commodity. It’s difficult to balance work, life and play, but enjoying quality rest and relaxation is essential for our overall well-being. We need downtime – time for ourselves – time for De-Stress.

That's the same one we call the rainbow in the sky. An Old Wives' Tale from many moons ago (which is a very long time) still tells the story of a few brave souls who ventured to the end of the sea, to find out if life existed there.

Guy Slocombe: The one with the Dum Dee Dee Coaching!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , York based voice actor Guy Slocombe joins Sam and Mark to talk about big reads and when to pull them back, the butch energy required in some automotive commercials, and there's an ASMR wildcard that surprises us all. Our VO question this week is all about the first demo you should make when you're getting into voiceover. We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 By the early 70s, the Cyborg amp was being adopted by other music genres. And just as progressive rock reached its peak, music got a sudden wakeup call. Gritty guitars and the 3 minute pop song were back – this time, with attitude. The punk revolution released a torrent of new talent. It was all about making a statement. Their sound had to be loud and for most, the established Cyborg was the amp of choice. But Punk inspired more than the anarchists. Script 2 The future of automotive is here. At Yellow Transportation, we’re leading the way forwards and our tech teams are making it possible. We’re creating the vehicles of tomorrow here in Leicestershire We have the ambition. Now we need talented people with technology skillsets to come and help us build the future.

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , former copywriter turned voice artist Bruce Fielding joins Sam and Mark to talk about a very famous ad campaign he was involved in, how casting the voice is crucial, and Sam gets feisty about regional accents. Our VO question this week is all about what you like to see in a script, and what makes you groan when you see it! We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 At Box Trade Windows we deal purely with the trade…and the trade get the very best price guaranteed every time.

Tom Allinson, that were his name. For just after th’ Industrial Revolution, all but he were for bread white as snow. They thought it were purer than wholemeal. But young Tom in a loud voice said “No”. “Yon white bread’s alright that I'll grant you, but you've taken away some of clout. Wholemeal’s better all told for young people ‘cause it's bread that’s had now’t taken out”. And now, over a hundred years later, it's been proved beyond reasonable doubt.

And bread’s better wi’ now’t taken out. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say "Alexa, Play How Do You Say That?!"

Our wildcards get very silly, and range from child to old crone with a brilliant station announcer thrown in along the way! Our VO question this week is all about what the best investment in your voiceover career has been to date. We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 The first element of due diligence implies adopting a policy commitment to respect all internationally recognized human rights. - Secondly, you periodically assess the risks and impacts along your full value chain. - Accordingly, you implement measures to address the identified issues in a third step. - The fourth element involves embedding human rights throughout the relevant functions of the organization, such as human resources, procurement and internal audit. Script 2 About the character: Vilnius is a city of respectable age, and accordingly, in its self-assured, friendly, slightly flirtatious, yet polite manner, this is how it would like to be described. A seasoned woman, still active and ready to conquer mountains, hosting grand "celebrations" at her place, inviting everyone who shares the same connection with Vilnius. Hey! It’s me – Vilnius – the vibrant capital of Lithuania and the world capital of road running 2023. If you share my passion for running, you simply can’t miss the opportunity to meet me this fall.

David Monteith: The one with the Blunt Old Needle!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , David Monteith joins Sam and Mark to turn a very dry health and safety corporate script into something you'd want to learn from. We have a bodice ripping sexual encounter, a trip in The TARDIS, and a performance where you can actually feel the pain! Our VO question this week is all about what you keep in your booth, apart from your mic obviously! We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Before working with hazardous materials, you must follow these safe work practices: Store hazardous chemicals in areas that can be locked, but still have good ventilation. Do not store hazardous chemicals in cool-drink bottles or any other unmarked container. Ensure hazardous materials are in their original containers that clearly say what they are. Do not pour hazardous materials down drains or dump them. Keep ignition sources (for example, mobile phones, lighters, cigarettes, etc.) away from hazardous materials. Report any leaks or uncontrolled hazardous materials to your supervisor immediately. Script 2 Repression is a central element of the drama in both Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre. Seduction in these novels is a subtle, socially distanced affair. There may be cads and mistresses, damaged reputations, falls from grace and dishonourable conduct, but all matters of direct sexual engagement are barely alluded to, let alone explicitly depicted. Britches remain firmly buckled; bodices remain securely bound. Happily for the novelist, the suggestion of, prelude to and promise of sex is often more sensual than the act itself. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say "Alexa, Play How Do You Say That?!" About our guest: Actor, Director, Tutor/Coach, Podcaster, David Monteith is multi-talented! Realising he could never become the astronaut he dreamed of, he turned to acting in the hope that one day he could play a space ship captain and at least pretend he was a spaceman.

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk , Julie-Ann Dean joins Sam and Mark to talk about what directors really want. When you're asked for storytelling and whimsy - are they two different things? Plus what does it mean when your only note on a read is "interesting!", and we look at audio guides in a variety of different ways.

We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 You know the saying, ‘the more you share, the more you have?’ It’s our truth.

Script 2 Stonehenge, a unique prehistoric temple aligned with the movements of the sun. Built in stages between 3000 and 2200 BC- it's the only stone circle in the world to have lintels, the horizontal stones sitting on top of the uprights. Its architecture reveals the sophisticated minds and engineering ability of those who built it: the late Neolithic people of Britain. As we explore the monument, we will find out about Stonehenge, and also the history of the area around it. **Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube , or say "Alexa, Play How Do You Say That?!"

It didn’t matter if there was no money to buy a ball! He would make one out of socks and paper. He was born and raised in the heights of Garagoa, in the heart of Colombia. Money was scarce, but love was abundant, and he was a happy child. He got his first job when he was 8, helping his old man with his small business. It was fun times with his dad, and somehow he could tell he was forging his character, and getting ready for the future. College was hard but it was worth it.

Snow White's mother, the queen, who preferred the outdoor life to libraries, was picking flowers in the royal garden when she was bitten on her bottom by a snake - a poisonous, purple, vicious villainous viper with sharp teeth, thin lips and a particularly nasty expression on its face. Its bite was, of course, fatal. From then on, Snow White's life was not at all happy. Not at all. And that's where my story really begins. Script 2 To many people an established brand is something that large companies have evolved over time to sell more of their products. But brands don't exist by accident, and good brands can bring back customers again and again. Here are the six key rules of branding. Number one, define your business. What does it do, why does it do it, and why is it better than the competition? The answers to these questions should become part of your brand personality. A brand should capture your mission. Number two, how do you impact people? ----------------- Listen to all of our podcasts here ------------------ About our guest: Jacqueline Duff started her career 20 years ago with a Pantene TV ad, recording in an Irish accent.

Some of you may be huge Disney fans and view this as a great thing. After all, more brands within the Disney family can mean more awesome theme park rides and attractions. But there are also Disney detractors who view the Disney-fication of things as a dumbing down or as an edge-softening of a brand that previously had some grit. And we’re going to explore both sides of those Mickey Mouse ears. Script 2 The WCAX App - Global market news - in one place. Customizable Sections and Personalized Alerts.

Leonie Schliesing: The one with the Laxative Easing!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” , German born voice actor Leonie Schliesing joins Mark and guest-host Clare Reeves to talk about how to dial up the friendly on a dry corporate script, drinking from the fountain of youth, and making strained noises somewhat easier.

We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Why do we age and can we pull the brake on the process? That is a question which many people would like to find the answer to. Inside each cell, we have our chromosomes and DNA strands. The ends of our chromosomes are equipped with so-called telomeres. As we grow older, our telomeres become increasingly short – until they are worn down to the point where a cell cannot divide without the DNA strand unravelling. This causes the cell to perish. When cells reach this stage, they are referred to senescent cells. Script 2 GOOD MORNING WITH BRONCOLAX Don’t let constipation ruin your day. Try Broncolax. It supports your natural gut rhythm to relieve constipation …making your good morning even better with Broncolax. And try BroncoEase.

Kenny Blyth: The one with the Dark Horror Story
In this episode of “How do you Say That?!” , Kenny Blyth joins Sam and Mark to talk about voicing technical scripts with vitality, the essence of true horror stories, and how to subvert expectations, and our wildcards include robotic AI voices, a magician and a rather superb horse racing commentator. Our VO question this week is all about demo reels, and when you should get them done (or re-make them). We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 In regulation 4, paragraph two, which covers ‘Requirements relating to building work’, paragraph two (a), after ‘schedule 1’ inserts: in brackets “in addition to the requirements of regulation 7” In regulation five which covers ‘meaning of material change of use’ after paragraph I omit “or”; and after paragraph J insert ‘or the building is a building described in regulation 7 - 4 - a, where previously it was not”. Script 2 (excerpt from "The Chair" by W. Terence Walsh) As the fire begins to crack and pop and the smoke rises over the rooftops, John resumes his work with renewed vigour, the rhythmic scraping of the chisel helping to drown out the sound of the blaze. But he cannot ignore the piercing dreadful song of the girl screaming as she is cleansed from this world. A sound so high in its pitch and so disquietingly inhuman, that it beggars belief. Perhaps she truly is an agent of the supernatural after all? The noises of the crowd turn from accusation, to celebration, to pity, to fear, before dwindling to silence. Only the scream now, travelling through the late summer air and gently brushing up against the blade of the chisel, carving a microscopic record of Mary’s last moments into the tiny groove-like indentations in the wood. ----------------- Listen to all of our podcasts here ------------------ About our guest: Kenny Blyth is a multi award-winning voice-over and actor who graduated from Queen Margaret’s college, Edinburgh in 2000, the first graduate from there to win the prestigious BBC radio ‘Carleton Hobbs’ award.

Our VO question this week is all about staying competitive in an increasingly crowded market. We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 Hello, I’m Professor Dan(ielle) Clever. I lead Energy, Air Pollution and Health Research at the University of Smartville. Recently, I invented Pollution Vision glasses so that harmful pollution in the air can be seen. Together, we are presenting a series of short videos, as we go about our everyday lives, explaining what pollution is, how it can affect our health, and what we can do to reduce the risks. So, what is in the air we breathe? Well, air is mainly composed of oxygen and nitrogen and water… But it also contains pollution, which is a mixture of solid particles and gases that come from vehicle emissions, factories, heating sources, smoke, dust, pollen, and mould for example. Script 2 Once upon a time, around the turn of the new millennium... Two Psychologists, Sally and Irene, were intrigued by this new-fangled “internet” thing, and wondered if they could take therapy online to reach more people. They founded ‘Psychology Today’ and in 2001, launched a website. In 2009 a Clinical Trial involving 300 patients proved that online therapy was actually more effective than face to face therapy. The results were published in The Lancet……and what happened next changed history! Jane Hargreaves, Venture Capitalist and more recently leader of the UK Vaccine Taskforce during the COVID Pandemic, had heard about Psychology Online and could see it’s incredible potential to change the future of mental healthcare. ----------------- Listen to all of our podcasts here ------------------ About our guest: Brad Shaw is a voiceover performer and producer.

Thanks for joining us today. In this training session, we're going to review the basic functionality of your Utility portal, including setup, vehicle tracking, and dashboard reporting. This session is great if you’re a first-time user, if you’re in the process of setting up your portal, or if you just need a good portal refresher.

This session will run for about 45 minutes and there will be time at the end for questions and answers. Enter your comments in the chat area, and we'll address them at the end of the session. Our goal is to provide exactly what you need so you can confidently set up your portal. Script 2 The Verks. As the sun begins to set over the planes of Petah Tikva, both male and female begin to make their way home from an arduous day’s labor. The male’s true passion lies in video games, while the female enjoys collecting stickers. Despite their 9-to-5 grind, the two have managed to maintain their love of the arts and their sense of playfulness. Both male and female have different interests and this can sometimes lead to conflict . While the male likes to spend his evenings gaming in his cave, the female desires nothing more than to spend them snuggled up together in their nest. In the end, the female, more often than not, wins. Her persuasive nature, sometimes referred to as ‘ nagging ’, convinces the male to concede. ----------------- Listen to all of our podcasts here ------------------ About our guest: 7 time voice award nominee, Amrit Sandhu, is a British Sikh Voice Actor based in his studio at West London.

David Vickery: The one with the Teeny Tiny Laughter!
In this week's “How do you Say That?!” , David Vickery joins Mark and Sam to talk about TV continuity, what to do when a producer just wants it "flatter", how to produce a miniscule laugh on demand and we enter the dramatic world of Jekyll & Hyde. Our VO question this week is all about how to break into new voiceover genres. We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 The powders were neatly enough made up, and when I opened one of the wrappers, I found the simple crystalline salt of a pure white colour. The phial, to which I next turned my attention, was filled with yellowish, translucent liquor, which was highly pungent to the sense of smell and contained phosphorus and other volatile ether. This journal, little more than an ordinary book, contains everything. It covers many years, and is filled with equations, formulas and notations of the foremost philosophers in history. Here and there a brief remark is appended to a date, usually no more than a single word: and once very early in the list and followed by several marks of exclamation, "total failure!!!” Script 2 It’s time to review your financial planning for 2023…. Are you paying too much tax on your investment income? What’s the best way to transfer wealth to your family? How can you make the most of your pensions?

Jonathan Tilley: The one with the Dastardly Tech Script!
In this week's "How Do You Say That?!" Jonathan Tilley, voiceover and personal brand strategist, joins Sam and Mark to talk about promoting your vo business properly, why tech script is sometimes the worst, and in the wildcards Sam channels Sweden and Jonathan becomes horrifying! Our VO question this week is all about how important it is for voiceovers to be present and engaged on social media. We’d love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today’s show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk Script 1 If it’s a mainly adult audience - or students over 18 - then you may want to be a little more suggestive with the script and jokes. There could be topical contemporary references for your audience - local characters, news headlines, politicians, celebrities and so on. Rude jokes are essential and, depending on your audience, you may choose to include risqué language (though innuendo, double entendres and the threat of a swear word are often more effective than the real thing). Of course - you need to be clear in your advertising that this isn’t for kids - for example “Sinderella” so that you don’t have complaints at the end of the evening! Script 2 With the filter frequency, you suppress interference on counter inputs F, J and, if applicable, W. With compressed VPTs, a frequency of 129 kHz is cyclically reset by default - meaning that signal changes shorter than 4 µs are suppressed. The VPT_Definitive_Exchanger Technology object guides you in the configuration, commissioning and diagnosis of the position reflection and measurement features for the RB position output technology module in conjunction with VPT definitive exchangers - not to mention, the SP2_RAM Technology object enables you to easily configure ram counter-control of the SP 8x73VFRQ/5J RP analog input module for operation with an exchanger module and use it as the master program. ——————- Listen to all of our podcasts here ——————– About our guest: Jonathan Tilley was born in Boston, Massachusetts.

One Sunday we were sitting in the gothic parlour of the apartment, our father was taking a nap and our dog was asleep, too. Then, when father went down to the study room, he saw that someone had broken in. The burglar had tried to open the desk with a letter opener, but it broke. When that didn’t work, the burglar went down to the basement and got a steel block; he used that block to break open the furniture and took the money. Fortunately, none of us heard anything and the dog did not bark. That was impressive.

Clare Reeves: The one where the Money Talks!
This week, Mark and Sam are joined by Clare Reeves , and they have a play with the different ways you can read an audio book script, and a commercial/promo type script. There's a discussion on what kind of person you need to be to record audio books, and our question this week is all about how long it takes to get used to the sound of your own voice. We'd love you to have a read of one of this week's scripts and send it to us on mp3 to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk - it might make it into one of upcoming episodes! Script 1 ‘In fifty yards you will have reached your destination,’ advised the Satnav, the most valuable tool in her armoury. She began to peer at street numbers, counting them down on the gates and walls. Slightly to her surprise, number 43A was quite different from the rest. In fact, it wasn’t a house at all, it was an old church sitting at the very end of the terrace. As she pulled into the nearest parking bay, it struck her that someone had certainly put a lot of work into its upkeep. She was curious to meet her new client, a Mrs Pendrith. Script 2 Remember when live music just got... put on pause? And then, in 2022, it came back in style . You swapped movie nights for mosh pits Canceled plans for wristbands, Live streams for mainstage screams In the Netherlands, Hungary, Brazil, UK, Sweden and beyond! You made a lot of swaps ... all 9 million of you We’ve swapped tickets, We’ve swapped tastes, And stories with your favourite artists 2022: the year live music made its comeback... 2023: the year you don’t miss a second of it. We’ll get you in. Even if it’s sold out. We'd also like to hear your burning v/o questions - what it is about the job, the marketing, the actual read, the audition process, the dealing with clients that’s bothering you? Let us know at podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk About Clare: After being a media obsessed kid... Clare Reeves began working in BBC Radio as a presenter and sound engineer, and founded her voiceover business 12 years ago. She has an enviable client list including Coca Cola, Booking.com, Instagram, Clearblue, National Geographic... and many more.

Liz Drury: The one with the Fire Triangle
There are a hundred different ways to read a script - and nearly all of them are as valid as the next... and this podcast sets out to prove it! In this episode Lincolnshire based voiceover Liz Drury joins Mark Ryes and Sam Boffin to mull over some scripts in different ways including a wildcard or two! We'll also attempt to answer a burning question about voiceover life too! The scripts we looked at are below... and we'd love to hear YOUR take on them - send your read on an mp3 to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.uk and we'll pick one or two to showcase in future episodes. Script 1 In the beginning, there was chaos. And now… …hmm, still chaos! If only you could maximise the potential of your warehouse space. You’d benefit from increased throughput… …overcome labour shortages… …and fulfil orders faster. Kerching! But…how do you transform chaos into order? You don’t. Because at Acme, we do it for you. Streamline your operations… …and future-proof your warehouse… …with Acme. Get in touch to find out more! Script 2 Are You Ready? Did you know that it only takes sixty seconds for a small fire that started at a socket to reach the ceiling? This speed means that every second counts, so: •Are you prepared? •Do you know how to recognise a fire hazard? •Do you know what to do if you suspect a fire, spot a fire or smell smoke? •If you had to evacuate, do you know what you are supposed to do? •Do you think what you do know is enough? Before learning how to put them out, it is important to know how fires get started in the first place, how they continue to burn and how they are extinguished. About Liz: Liz Drury has been working as a voiceover artist for 10 years. She started her career in the USA when she was living there temporarily due to her husband’s job. She now works from her home studio in North Lincs for clients around the world.

When she’s not in the booth you find Liz out running with her lurcher Marble. Liz's Website @LizDruryVO on Instagram @LizDruryVO on Twitter

Script 2: In product lifecycle management, engineering qualifies the performance and environmental impact and needs considerable effort. Today, the majority of the engineering activities and important decisions at various stages of the product design process such as concept generation and evaluation, material selection, manufacturing process selection and performance assessment are limited by the experience of the product designer and happen in an ad-hoc workflow leading to several iterations to meet multiple requirements from mechanical, electrical, thermal and sustainability.
