It looked over the edge from the ledge above. For the first time, the ghost revealed its face, and it was a face Almon had never seen before.It was an old man with pale, blistered skin and a long grey beard. Its eyelids were stitched together with thick interlacing leather thongs pulled tightly together.Even with these terrible mutilations to his eyes, somehow, he still watched Almon.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: Originally from Essex in the South-East of England, now living in Rossendale in the North-West, Alan Irving has been a voiceover artist and audiobook narrator since 2012.

And then, does the teacher have the time to prepare lessons or revise earlier lessons? With Versa, all of this happens automatically. And it’s presented through an intuitive data visualisation so that tired teachers don’t need to wade through the data.Script 2In picturesque towns with cosy gardens, murder is a foot!Who is hiding?Who is scheming?Who’s having tea and spilling the beans?Who hates who?And who is next?Who’s up for a first - class weekend of second guessing?WhodunnitStarts Friday August 29We'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: From TV ads to In-store and Big Award Ceremonies - as well as ITV1 continuity and radio station imaging around the world - you'll absolutely know Gina Mellotte's voice.

In ep 141 of&nbsp;“How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Ingrid Wiseman joins Sam and Mark to talk about accents, water and the elements! Just how DO you approach a script for a video to be played in a big conference as opposed to watching it on a compnay website - and how much earthy character does the ground need for a museum exhibit? Our VO question this week is all about whether you need to have an authentic accent to be booked for a job - even if you can do the specific accent really well.Get involved!

In every office And in recent times, every home office, dining room, and kitchen too. On every project. Big and the small. Engineering, Finding leaks, Fixing bursts, And, helping customers. Now, we get to be part of a new era for our sector. Where reservoirs are built, Where technology is key, Where we have a new plan.Script 2Psst... hey there.. it's me—the ground. Yep, right here... underneath your feet. I'm the top layer of the earth and, possess diverse capabilities depending on my composition. From soaking wet to bone dry, I form the basis for different habitats. And that's not all. If clay or humus are part of my mixture, I turn into a fantastic water filter. When water seeps through my fine layers, dirt particles and toxins simply filter out. If I consist of many coarse grains of sand, however, the water seeps away considerably faster and things tend to slip through me.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&nbsp;- you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Ingrid Wiseman trained as an actor at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre school and went on to work in Television, Radio, Theatre and Film for several years.

In ep 140 of&nbsp;“How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Marissa Dubois joins Sam and Mark to talk about taking all the emotion out of a documentary read (and how feeling cross can help). We remove the schmaltz from a schmaltzy script and explore how not to be excessively sentimental when talking about love. Plus how varying your pace within a sentence can bring more drama, and how nailing a conversational read is one of the trickiest to pull off.Our VO question this week is all about how you prepare for a singing part in a voice over script.Get involved!

Just a quiet summons.Questions came quickly.So did threats.These weren’t arrests.They were warnings. Proof that they were watching.And that if they chose... you could vanishThe streets ran with fear.Voices were met with bullets.And then—he appeared.Not in a war room... but in the rain.It was the image of a ruler unravelling.Script 2Love isn’t the goal.It’s the reason—the way they wait by the door,the silence that makes words unnecessary.They deserve care that keeps pace,support that shows up,science that moves with them every step.At PAWSITIVE, we’ve always stood beside the vets who listen closer,the pet parents who notice sooner.Not because it’s easy, but because it’s love.PAWSITIVE.

In ep 139 of&nbsp;“How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Michael Ashtiany joins Sam and Mark to talk about judging a read properly depending the demographic of the audience... Making a story so a script is easy to follow... How to nail a "being bored" read and how having a connection to the subject matter can make all the difference to your delivery. We also meet a demonic cat, a psychotic PE teacher and there's a script about sleep that'll make you sit up wide awake!Our VO question this week is all about keeping positive when perhaps the industry can feel a little negative at times!Get involved!

There is a big difference.Script 2About an hour and a half before bed, it helps to start winding down.Falling asleep isn’t like flicking a switch, it’s more like slowly turning down a dimmer. A little routine before bed tells your body, okay, time to switch off.And in the morning? Here’s the tough bit…when the alarm goes, get up right away. I know, it feels brutal. That groggy, heavy-eyed feeling has a name…sleep inertia. But snoozing only makes it worse. The best fix? Get up, get moving, and shake it off.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&nbsp;- you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Michael Ashtiany is a multi-award nominated voice actor from Manchester, but now lives in France!
