  • Pete Nottage: The one with the Cracker Going Bang!
    In ep 151 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Pete Nottage joins Sam and Mark to talk about the ins and outs of TV continuity, as we learn the tricks from someone who trains new announcers! We hear from a teacher in the far distant future, avoid the mad professor, and add Joyce Grenfell to create a bit of strictness. There's a driving calamity, a caffeine infusion and a hi-5 pie chart! Sam brings her Mrs Claus to the festive table, there's a man with a fit of the giggles and a cracker going bang!Our VO question this week is all about how much freedom you get as a continuity script writer to bring in your own personality.Get involved!

What you see is a typical classroom. Notice the chairs: separate, rigid, identical. Students sat in them for hours at a time. Yes, I know—barbaric. And despite having access to global knowledge networks, they still memorised dates… on paper. Yet in their own chaotic way, they were innovative. They pushed the boundaries of medicine, climate science, artificial intelligence - and they weren’t afraid to imagine futures they’d never see. But the 2020's were also an age of fear.Script 2It's definitely not a mint that's been left on your pillow - checking in for RAMSAY'S HOTEL HELL at ten to three. First, it's psychological, it's stylish, it's Dame Diana's final role and it's made by Edgar Wright - four reasons to stick around for our network premiere - LAST NIGHT IN SOHO. Expect very strong language and violence.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: Pete Nottage can be described as a voiceover, a continuity announcer, a presenter, a very tired dad and the living and breathing embodiment of a midlife crisis. It just depends who you’re talking to! He’s been one of the voices of Channel 4 in the UK since 2005, spending nearly twenty years crafting the art of saying “Countdown is next” in increasingly creative ways! He was one of the launch voices of More4, 4Seven and 4Music, spent a decade as the station voice of BBC 6Music and was the station promo voice of Manchester United TV for an awful long time, which is quite an achievement when he knows precisely boff-all about football. He’s been the literal voice of the earth at the Science Museum and drove around the world’s capital cities for a Smart Car web series. He's also been a vocal advocate for fair pay in the creative industries and has spent more than two decades making British broadcasting just a little bit warmer, a little bit funnier, and occasionally a lot more chaotic.

  • Tim Bick: The one with the Talking Dog Surprise!
    In ep 150 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Tim Bick joins Sam and Mark to talk about wildlife documentary reads, and whether we're so used to hearing Attenborough or Nat Geo styles that it's difficult to come up with anything new. We work out how intimate should an intimate read be, and how big should a big read be? We hark back 15 years to the comfortable announcer style that's so out of vogue these days - and ask what it is that a corporate film should really sound like. In the wildcards we get angry, get on Insta and bark our way into a new language!Our VO question this week is all about letting your client hear the loopback on a take in a directed session.Get involved!

Ringed, bearded, and harp seals glide through cracks in the ice, surfacing for air where the water meets frozen sky.Above us — the Arctic’s apex predator. The polar bear. It depends entirely on this frozen platform to hunt seals. As the ice retreats earlier each year, that balance — between predator and prey, ice and ocean — begins to fracture.Script 2Presenting Empiricon Stewart Racing.Two teamwork powerhouses focused around the same goal - to unleash the full potential of a legendary race team.Empiricon creates software that transforms teamwork and makes possible together what would be impossible alone.And today, they join forces with an icon of Formula 1 to usher in a new era of racing.
