It looked over the edge from the ledge above. For the first time, the ghost revealed its face, and it was a face Almon had never seen before.It was an old man with pale, blistered skin and a long grey beard. Its eyelids were stitched together with thick interlacing leather thongs pulled tightly together.Even with these terrible mutilations to his eyes, somehow, he still watched Almon.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?!"About our guest: Originally from Essex in the South-East of England, now living in Rossendale in the North-West, Alan Irving has been a voiceover artist and audiobook narrator since 2012.

And then, does the teacher have the time to prepare lessons or revise earlier lessons? With Versa, all of this happens automatically. And it’s presented through an intuitive data visualisation so that tired teachers don’t need to wade through the data.Script 2In picturesque towns with cosy gardens, murder is a foot!Who is hiding?Who is scheming?Who’s having tea and spilling the beans?Who hates who?And who is next?Who’s up for a first - class weekend of second guessing?WhodunnitStarts Friday August 29We'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?!"About our guest: From TV ads to In-store and Big Award Ceremonies - as well as ITV1 continuity and radio station imaging around the world - you'll absolutely know Gina Mellotte's voice.

  • Ingrid Wiseman: The one with the Sound of the Ground!
    In ep 141 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Ingrid Wiseman joins Sam and Mark to talk about accents, water and the elements! Just how DO you approach a script for a video to be played in a big conference as opposed to watching it on a compnay website - and how much earthy character does the ground need for a museum exhibit? Our VO question this week is all about whether you need to have an authentic accent to be booked for a job - even if you can do the specific accent really well.Get involved!

Send it to us via Mark or Sam's social media or email it directly to [email protected] 1From the very beginning We transformed how waste water was managed Building new treatment works and infrastructure along our coast And set new standards for the future In every county, town and village, Every community, Every site, (even those tricky ones). In every office And in recent times, every home office, dining room, and kitchen too. On every project. Big and the small. Engineering, Finding leaks, Fixing bursts, And, helping customers. Now, we get to be part of a new era for our sector. Where reservoirs are built, Where technology is key, Where we have a new plan.Script 2Psst... hey there.. it's me—the ground. Yep, right here... underneath your feet. I'm the top layer of the earth and, possess diverse capabilities depending on my composition. From soaking wet to bone dry, I form the basis for different habitats. And that's not all. If clay or humus are part of my mixture, I turn into a fantastic water filter. When water seeps through my fine layers, dirt particles and toxins simply filter out. If I consist of many coarse grains of sand, however, the water seeps away considerably faster and things tend to slip through me.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?!"About our guest: Ingrid Wiseman trained as an actor at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre school and went on to work in Television, Radio, Theatre and Film for several years.
