In ep 163 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Karl Jenkinson joins Sam and Mark to talk about narrating a story with more than one character accent, and listening to the overall sense of a piece - and the pictures it gives you in your own mind. We look into how to make a high end script relatable by creating luxury with a hint of humour. We get confused between Steam Punk and Punk Rock, and wonder about an amazing mechanical man. The wildcard section of the show introduces us to a gluttonous woman who can't help gorging herself whilst narrating a story.Our VO question this week is all about the personality you need for modern documentary narration... from Call Me a Cabbie to Come Dine With Me and Gogglebox... and Sam tells the story of her time narrating Britain's Poshest Brothel!Get involved!

A mechanical watch is a living machine - and like all precious instruments, it deserves proper care.Script 2“Yous lot! Wi’ me!” he shouted in full Scots brogue, and led a posse of boys in blue, with black moustaches and matching truncheons who were, at last, converging on the battlefield from all directions. The two failed assassins (the first was later described in witness reports as: small, thick-set and brutish wearing a baby’s bonnet and trying to hold his face together; the second as: tall, bloody of face, apparently female and nursing her testicles) scrambled to make good their painful escape in an easterly direction down Bell StreetWe'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: Having worked as an actor for nearly two decades... in the early 2000's Karl was cast in 'The Getaway- Back Monday' for Sony.

Strong muscles help stabilise the body and the act of building muscles is in many ways a neural activity. You probably associate exercise with your muscles or heart but recent studies have shown that when we lift weights our nervous system actually gets stronger before our biceps. Working out increases neurons in certain parts of the brain.Script 2You could be forgiven for thinking the maritime industry is a woman’s worldWe refer to ships as sheThey are named by lady sponsorsThey sail upon a sea often thought of as a motherBut let’s be honestThe maritime world may still seem a male-dominated oneAnd that is a shame.We want to work with the most talented, hardworking peopleQualities that do not recognise the boundaries of genderSo if we want to be the best at what we doWe need to be open to everyoneWe'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: Machteld van der Gaag has been a voice actor for over 30 years!

In ep 161 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Caroline Ramsay joins Sam and Mark to talk about how big BIG actually is, when a client wants a football promo. It leads us to ask the age old question "Is the client always right?". We explore how your smart speaker is always listening to you, and look at how taking the tempo down by 50% gives a very creepy impression. There's a nasty slimy fun fact, the most comfy way to watch TV, and a food that we all loathe!

You download a home workout app, buy equipment, the right shoes and more. You suddenly start seeing adverts about health and fitness every time you go online. This is because most of your online actions are tracked, stored and used by advertisers to push their products. While targeted advertising can be personally helpful, sometimes it is not as innocent as it may seem. It may feel like you are being watched, and you are.Script 2THERY’RE NOT JUST CITIESINSPIRING THE UNTHINKABLETHEY IGNITE PASSIONTHEY WITNESS OUR GLORYBRINGING TOGETHER HISTORY AND NEW STORIESTHEY PULSE WITH UNIQUE ENERGYFROM CATWALKS TO STADIUMSTHEY BURN WITH THE SAME, BOLD SPIRITWe'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: Caroline Ramsay is a classically trained, versatile actress and has worked on stage and screen in a former life.
