How Do You Say That?! with Nikki Mills & Jess Lambert

In ep 122 of “How Do You Say That?!”, we depart from our usual format a little – and record as-live from One Voice 25 in London with TWO guests! Nikki Mills and Jess Lambert join Sam and Mark to read two very different scripts. We head to Wales for a battle of wills with a doctor’s receptionist and get a French take on a mysterious evil character. This week the wildcard suggestions come from our studio audience.
Our VO question this week is also suggested by one of our voiceover colleagues in the audience – what tips can you give to ensure a long and successful voiceover career.
