In ep 190 of “How Do You Say That?!” Lozza Gilbert joins Sam and Mark to talk about a dystopian future that smooshes Mad Max and Grange Hill together in a challenging dramatic script! We learn what you need to ask a director before you record a dramatic scene – and we discover the knack of delivering the problem and the solution at a different pace!
In ep 172 of “How Do You Say That?!” Jane Wing joins Sam and Mark to talk about adding movement into a dramatic heist and how you can immediately place the listener within the action of a scene. We examine the difficulty of playing dry humour in a commercial script, and how flat is flat when you’re trying to point the laughs in a conversational Northern accent? We talk vocal health with Kazoos, Kettles and Wedding songs plus the wildcard section has a real sting in the tail!
In ep 171 of “How Do You Say That?!” Beau Thomas joins Sam and Mark to talk about accents… how not to do them, how to perfect the subtlety of an accent, and how an accent can match your own speech cadence. We look at how to create a theatrical performance for the mic – when it’s asked for, we bring a touch of camp to underscore a performance, and we look at how to deal with a script that has very definitive direction. You’ll learn how to create the perfect accent without panicking, why listenig is crucial, and why less is more when you need to pull an accent out of the bag.
In ep 139 of “How Do You Say That?!” 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!
