In ep 173 of “How Do You Say That?!” Rachel Capell joins Sam and Mark to talk about how past tense as present tense can throw you, working out where your script sits within the final narration and the fine line which means you can’t leave a documentary on a sad note. We ask when is a script set in the future NOT futuristic and work out how to be wistful and informative at the same time.
In ep 163 of “How Do You Say That?!” Karl Jenkinson joins Sam and Mark to talk about narrating a story with more than one character accent, and listening to the overall sense of a piece – and the pictures it gives you in your own mind. We look into how to make a high end script relatable by creating luxury with a hint of humour. We get confused between Steam Punk and Punk Rock, and wonder about an amazing mechanical man. The wildcard section of the show introduces us to a gluttonous woman who can’t help gorging herself whilst narrating a story.
In ep 150 of “How Do You Say That?!” Tim Bick joins Sam and Mark to talk about wildlife documentary reads, and whether we’re so used to hearing Attenborough or Nat Geo styles that it’s difficult to come up with anything new. We work out how intimate should an intimate read be, and how big should a big read be? We hark back 15 years to the comfortable announcer style that’s so out of vogue these days – and ask what it is that a corporate film should really sound like. In the wildcards we get angry, get on Insta and bark our way into a new language!
In ep 110 of “How Do You Say That?!” Susie Valerio joins Sam and Mark to talk about what to do when a medical sounding script isn’t medical, and how to approach a documentary script so it doesn’t sound like all the others out there! We explore chakras, mine some gold, lose our voices and grow a long neck!
In episode 94 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Chris Tester joins Sam and Mark to talk about making a stand in a directed voice session, how visualisation can put you in just the right creative space, and how to turn a wordy commercial into something more Shakespearian.
In episode 89 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Toby Jackson joins Sam and Mark to talk about finding the joy in a script that can only be described as wonkily written, how to re-live a historical documentary without giving too much away, we try and go a bit saucy, and Sam brings out a wonderful little girl train character in the wildcard!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Tom Hillenbrand joins Sam and Mark to talk about the cinematic feel of golden voiceover, how your face shape can change the way you sound, and Sam comes up with her most surprising fun fact yet!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” Christopher Kent joins Sam and Mark to talk about how to sound luxurious but at a right old pace, a cheeky read for a saucy doc, words that just don’t want to come out right, and how you can’t say no to a spoon bending!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” Louisa Gummer joins Sam and Mark to talk about the different ways of saying hello at the start of a script, how documentary styles have changed and a leisurely stroll around Ealing!
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” voice actor and casting director Emily Jardine joins Sam and Mark to talk about the dark side of true crime documentaries, the lighter side of puppy personification, and in a run up to next week’s Halloween episode, we explore the wet sound of Igor!
