And the dressers, often poised in the wings, are on hand to help with fastenings and complicated costumes. Zips though can be a nightmare: quick if they run smoothly but disastrous if they stick. There are few things more likely to stress out an actor than the panic of going on stage half dressed.Quick-change costumes are designed so that they can be removed quickly - and rigged so they can be put on quickly… very quickly! Script 2Stressexe is a marketplace where bookings can be bought, sold, and bid on.Here’s how…Let’s say a guy - call him Craig – makes a reservation.It could be for a barber, or membership of a golf club – or maybe it’s for a toy, for his niece.But what happens if Craig can’t use his reservation anymore?Maybe he has to work late. Or maybe the sitter has cancelled.Craig’s place goes to waste.**Listen to all of our podcasts here&nbsp;- you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Bart Kooiman was born and raised in Amsterdam.

We haven't created a new system, but rather developed the existing one. Let's call it a serious evolution. Now, each team member has just six slots for main perks. There is good news for crew members who fulfill several roles at once. It is a "bonus perk" system. If a crew member has a secondary qualification, it will be trained alongside the major one. Bonus perks do not increase the total training time, no matter how many there are.Script 2Losing a child is terrifying.A nightmare many people face every day in our countryTo help locate a child, it takes a company that is everywhere.Introducing: Lost Child AwarenessOur company, the biggest out of home media company here… Turned its billboards into a real-time tool for searching for lost children.With the support of advertisers, every single ad stops, and the search starts.

Script 2Alice looked round eagerly, and found that it was the Red Queen. ‘She’s grown a good deal!’ was her first remark. She had indeed: when Alice first found her in the ashes, she had been only three inches high — and here she was, half a head taller than Alice herself!‘It’s the fresh air that does it,’ said the Rose: ‘wonderfully fine air it is, out here.’‘I think I’ll go and meet her,’ said Alice, for, though the flowers were interesting enough, she felt that it would be far grander to have a talk with a real Queen.**Listen to all of our podcasts here&nbsp;- you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Anna Cass is a relative newcomer to the UK Voice industry, originally from Hertfordshire, now based in East London.
