Ep 134 Trailer - Jenna Sharpe (out 15th Aug)

In ep 138 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, Ciaran Saward joins Sam and Mark to work out how much storytelling you can squeeze into an informative Health & Safety script without sounding like the voice of disaster. We work out how to translate seemingly occult corporate speak... and if the script talks of legends - do you automatically go all Lord of the Rings on it, or is there a more subtle approach?In our VO question this week Ciaran tells us how he approached his first big audio drama, with some national treasures in the room, without running scared.Get involved! Have you got a Wildcard suggestion that we should try or an idea for the show?

Stressful. And long.But not for some…People call them Contract Legends.Like Astrid.Turning pain…Into productivity.Chaos conquered. Contracts on boss mode.Be a contract legend.

In ep 137 of&nbsp;“How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, the voice of Sainsbury's, Lizzie Jobling joins Sam and Mark to talk about adding in the elements of a real conversation - things like grasping for words as if you've just thought of them. We explore speaking from the persepctive of the character and how to go from instructional to warm. We also get on board a ship for a video about all kinds of nasty stomach complaints! One of our wildcards takes us to one of the most ubiquitous commercials of 2025, and hear Sam in the pool doing a lazy breast-stroke on the Cote d'Azur!!Our VO question this week is all about what an accredited voiceover course actually is, and why the actual accredition is important.Get involved!

And there is a fundamental element and that is the emotional bond that develops with the narrator’s voice. This is the great advantage that audiobooks offer, the voices who read audiobooks create an emotional bond that often goes beyond the story and the author, so much so that many users choose the next audio book on the basis of their favourite narrators.Script 2ALL visitors on the ship must report to a member of staff if they are affected by or have just recovered from infections of skin, eyes, ears, mouth or gastrointestinal illness. In the case of ammonia or waste release, if you smell ammonia or waste, or come across an ammonia alarm remove yourself from the affected area and contact your manager or RP immediately. If you are not in the affected area remain indoors or assemble in the ground floor mess room area and await further instruction. You are responsible for disposing of any waste you create.

You guessed it, breasts.Here’s everything we know about ‘em.Whether hemispherical, pear shaped, sagging or flat, women's breasts are pretty unique, because while all mammalian breasts produce milk for their young, humans are the only species who view tatas in a sexual context.81% of women say that having their coconuts stimulated causes or enhances sexual arousal.Script 2Yes, it is me. I have it. It was very easy. He is even more stupid than his file says. The train leaves in seventeen minutes and thirty-eight seconds. It is due to arrive in Istanbul in approximately nineteen hours and eight minutes, and then it will take approximately seven minutes and twelve seconds for me to reach a telephone. I’m sorry I can’t be more precise. I must go; the train will leave in seventeen minutes and twenty three seconds.

Soon, healthcare professionals realised regulation was necessary to improve the quality of care, keep patients safe, and make staff productive. So, a number of industry organisations were formed to put standards in place. That’s where we come in. We help healthcare organisations and practitioners ensure they’re compliant with those industry standards. And in doing this, we also help them get paid faster and improve their operational efficiency and prevent them from being fined or shut down.Script 2From studio 7H in Lolla Plaza, New York City, and in collaboration with N-A-R Studios in Los Angeles, California, I’m Mason Lane and this is Cold Case Crime Cuts. Stories inched apart, stories coaxed outside. Restoring, repainting and revarnishing faded shades of story, from first to last and back again. Stories that sing. Or have been sung. In song. Listen out for them, maybe before you listen to this. Episode 7: Smooth Criminal.
