In ep 181 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Karim Kronfli joins Sam and Mark to talk about getting to grips with a summer advertorial that's full of alliteration, with no time constraint. We have to be playful without going over the top. It's all about a script being "knowing" and as a voice actor having to give a nod and a wink to your audience. We also have an amazing dramatic piece between a man who's been in jail and his estranged daughter. Our fun facts are about reality TV, big West End shows and a tease of an NDA!
Our VO question this week is all about what aspects of performance you take from stage work to the mic.

Script 1
And right now, as the world slows for the summer and the sun sets a little later… there's no better time to slip away with a story of secrets, lies and that final, fatal twist.
Our Holiday Crime Collection brings together 100 years of murderous mischief — from breezy beachside killings to snowbound scandals in country hotels.
Whether you prefer your detectives with deerstalkers or dark pasts, there’s something in our summer stack to keep your suitcase suspiciously heavy.

Script 2
We are responsible for our own actions. No one else.
Like the no one else sitting across from me who got themselves thrown out on the street. Or the no one else took a dead-end job at a petrol station instead of going to vocational school and learning something useful. Or the no one else what got themselves involved with drugs and spent two episodes in rehab.
You spent way too much time feeling sorry for yourself.

In ep 180 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Paul Cartwright joins Sam and Mark to talk about trusting your senses as a VA to do the work in a script without actively trying to do the work. We explore a commercial script using Paul's theory of pulling back on the crafting and being less voiceovery and less polished to make a real connection with the audience.
As an artist, your body is naturally going to add pitch and depth and resonance and highs and lows... so what Paul shows us is comparable to the difference between stage acting and film acting - and it can be a rough uncomfortable ride.
We also look at how to create a story arc for a famous tale re-told, but telling it in an authentic way, and our wildcards include Jack's giant, an old lady and a nervous best man delivering a speech.

Script 2
Long ago, in a sleepy village on the outskirts of a busy town, there lived a boy named Jack. Jack's father disappeared when he was a child, and all Jack could remember of him was the joy of his laughter and the tenderness of his voice:
But for Jack and his widowed mother, things were what they were: they were poor, and their farm was failing.
But Jack wasn't worried. He was an unusual boy, cheerful to a fault and rarely complained. That, and he had a secret...
He could speak to animals.
