Her number one sport continues to be water polo. She also joined the school concert band and jazz band. She has made a lot of friends and is popular in her year.Jacqui manages to train as a surgeon while fitting in diving trips to Thailand, Cayman, Cuba and the Red Sea. We've told you about Tori's sporting prowess, and at number 5 in the world, she is not doing badly! The boys have a hamster.Script 2It was snowing. It was always snowing at Christmas. December, in my memory, is white as Lapland, although there were no reindeers. But there were cats. Patient, cold and callous, our hands wrapped in socks, we waited to snowball the cats. Sleek and long as jaguars and horrible-whiskered, spitting and snarling, they would slide and sidle over the white back-garden walls, and the lynx-eyed hunters, Jim and I, fur-capped and moccasined trappers from Hudson Bay, off Mumbles Road, would hurl our deadly snowballs at the green of their eyes.Script 311 a.m. Office. Oh my God. Daniel Cleaver just sent me a message. Message Jones: You appear to have forgotten your skirt. As I think is made perfectly clear in your contract of employment, staff are expected to be fully dressed at all times. CleaveHah! Undeniably flirtatious. Have never messaged Daniel Cleaver before but brilliant thing about messaging system is you can be really quite cheeky and informal, even to your boss. Also can spend ages practising. This is what I sent:Script 4The finger pointed from the grave to him, and back again."No, Spirit! Oh no, no!"The finger still was there."Spirit!" he cried, tight clutching at its robe, "hear me!I am not the man I was. I will not be the man I must have been but for this intercourse. Why show me this, if I am past all hope!"For the first time the hand appeared to shake.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 guests: Katy Maw has been voicing for about a quarter of a century after becoming a classically trained actor in London.

We work out how to sell something to a board of directors, without over selling it, and discuss how voiceover styles change over the years - and will probably come back into fashion! We find out about japanese gaming characters... and try to play a particularly ruthless ruler... a meglamaniac you might say... but one who presents as a little girl! In the wildcards, we go all wild west as Sam gets behind the bar as a Saloon Madame... Rhiannon gets festive with a nasty Elf on the shelf and Mark embodies a harrumphing Reindeer that's terrified of heights!

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.

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.

In ep 150 of&nbsp;“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.
