In episode 100 of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Kate Harbour joins Sam and Mark to celebrate this milestone edition - and gives us a masterclass in animation - creating characters, bringing the truth, and how every emote tells a story!
Our VO question this week is all about whether being able to do silly voices is enough!

Script 2
Hello, everyone, thanking you! I’m so excited to show you my new invention! Introducing the new vacubot 2000, the smallest cleverest vacuum cleaner ever made.
She whips a cloth off a stand to reveal a mini VACUBOT, white and minimalist. Different ANGLES ON members of the audience <CHEERING>. a <UKELELE SOUNDTRACK>, an ANIMATION begins on * the screen, demonstrating the workings of vacuum cleaners.
Actually, this one’s very quiet. But other vacuum cleaners have a noisy motor that makes a fan go round. The fan sucks air into a box that collects the dust , here let me demonstrate.
<CLICK>: she speaks into the remote. We see a light on the * remote tells us it’s listening.
You see I simply speak into the remote like so: Vacubot 2000 clean the room level -Super clean. There you are you see, it’s quite miraculous and can clean from super clean all the way to super duper mega clean. Although I haven’t tested that yet. What’s that, you want to have a go ? Oh well why not but don’t ask for anything more than super duper mega clean yet, things might, go a bit wonky.
