In ep 182 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Charlie Keeffe joins Sam and Mark to talk about maintaining a sense of engagement without going too flat in an audiobook... finding the line of entertaining - but not too entertaining! We explore how to fit into a younger mindset, and how to differentiate between a CBBC audience and a CBeebies audience. We look at working a little harder when the script is dry, and how to create a cliffhanger without over-emphasising it. Our fun facts are about sports and fingers and our wildcards embrace scarecrows, politicians and superfans!
Our VO question this week is all about how new voice actors make the mindset shift to promoting themselves.

Script 1
To transform his invention into a commercial enterprise, Gutenberg needed something every great innovator eventually requires: money.
He turned to a wealthy local financier Johann Fust, borrowing heavily to fund the production of his printing press and expand operations. By 1455, Gutenberg's press had already produced a series of printed documents and, most remarkably, a magnificent Latin Bible—an achievement that would forever change the spread of knowledge.
But just as Gutenberg stood on the brink of success, disaster struck.

Script 2
By the time he got to his desk the following morning, Stirling’s abdomen still felt like he’d done a hundred crunches, and he groaned at the pain as he sat down. He didn’t intend to get up soon and feel that again. He spent half an hour going through the paperwork in his desk, signing off on things and putting papers in their proper piles for filing. Each time he bent his stomach even a little, it reminded him of the cramped muscles there. He picked up the phone and started looking through his notebook for his doctor's number. Perhaps the time had come to cave in on this one.

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.
